Commi
good
of the local divorce colon', who has
I kept herself quietly from publicity as
far as her identification is concerned,
j She is Mrs. Katheiine L. Cooper, wife
I of Charles T. Cooper, a well known
Iowa attorney, practicing his profes
sion in Davenport for several years
rast.
She has passed the required six
months' residence here, and has now
filed her complaint for divorce, alleg
ing that her husband, although abund
antly able to provide for her, has failed
utterly to do so.
MARRIED IX 1884.
She further charges him with acte of
cruelty In that he Is continually nag
ging at her. and fault-finding, making
life unbearable for her. The couple
were married In 1834, and lived togeth
er until two years ago, when the sep
aration finally occurred In 1909.
There are no children Involved and
no mention of any property rights to
be adjusted. Mrs. Cooper has one of
the most prominent law firms handling
her case. Summons will be served
upon the husband In Davenport, but
whether be will file an answer of for-
mal denial, or appear by counsel and
contest the action, or let it go by de
fault, cannot be known yet. Few of
the friends of the fair plaintiff. It Is
understood, have any know ledge of her
being In Nevada for such purpose.
WANTS MAIDEN HA MB.
Mrs. Cooper will not discuss her mar
ital troubles. It Is one of the trying
ordeals of her life to be compelled to
this action, but she declares that It
wae all brought ahout solely by her
husband's conduct, which became more
' aggravated as time passed, although
j she did all that a faithful, dutiful wife
I could do to make their home happy.
' There are several other specific alle
j gatlons of cruelty embodied in the
complaint. She further asks to be re
' stored to her maiden name. The bear
J ing in the case will in all probability
! not come up before the end of this
month at the earliest.

cilities George Wagner Sells
to Louis Vetter.
A marker for land values in this
county was set in a deal completed
Saturday -through the agency of
Eckhart & Buffum and J. G.
Britton whereby - Louis Vetter of
Black Hawk buys a 4 0-aere tract on
the Andalusia road, five miles west of
Milan from Geo. Wagner of this city for
$300 per acre, cold cash. The land
is part of the farm of 300 acres that
Mr. Wagner bought this spring from
F. N. Rouse. There is not a build
ing on it and the only fences are
those which enclose it. Ten years
ago it was almost worthless, the most
of it never having been under culti
vation up to that time because of
its swamp condition.
Mr. Vetter was particularly desir
ous of securing the tract to give him
a solid half section and so paid an
unusually stiff price for it.
BOOSTED BY ITTERrHBAX.
So far as is known this sets a rec
ord for land values for property ly
ing no nearer than this to Rock Is
land. The tract is within half a
mile of the Rock Island Southern,
which since it has begun interurban
service has had the effect of stimu
lating land values wonderfully.

will be elected and reports received.
