Goldie Bowen Granted Divorce, Custody of Child and Alimony.

All day Thursday the, time of the court was taken up in trying the divorce case of Goldie Bowen vs. Sam Bowen. The parties live near Newland. The testimony brought out the fact that the marriage was a hurry-up affair and that the baby, of which she asked the custody, was born about three months after they were married. Sam had taken his bride to the homo of his parents and they did not get along very pell. His mother .testified that ihe threatened to take the lives ot herself and her husband, or that was the way she interpreted it, (or she said that she would leave the child without either a mother or a father. It was shown that Sam, who is a young fellow and industrious and regarded aa a very good boy, bought a considerable amount of whiskey. This seemed to contribute to the troubles that led up to the separation. The court granted the divorce, gave the plaintiff the custody of the baby, gave judgment against the young husband for |8 a month for its support, also for the costs of the trial and ordered him to pay the plaintiff's attorneys, J. A. Dunlap and W. H. Parkinson, $25. X win Tot make a wTmaT heathy or
