DIVORCE AND $5,000 ALIMONY

Given Mrs. Hansson on Agreement Reached Out of Court. The Hansson vs. Hansson divorce and alimony suit was compromised at Kentland by an agreement between the attorneys for the parties and sanctioned by both the plaintiff, defendant and Judge Berry, whereby Mrs. Hansson was granted a divorce, $5,000 alimony and one-half the household effects. Each are to pay their own attorneys, but Dr. Hansson pays the court costs. Plaintiff had sued for $20,000 all-* mony and SI,OOO per year for the support of the daughter, Miss Annetta Hansson, who has been with her mother since Mr. and Mrs. Hansson separated last summer, but as the daughter will soon be 21 years of age and can be self-sup-porting, no account of her provision was taken In the settlement. It is understood that she will continue with her mother and that they ex. pect to rent rooms and remain in Rensselaer. The son, Gravelous, has been with the father, and It Is understood will remain with him. Mr. and Mrs. Hansson have not lived as husband and wife for many years, although occupying the same house, and the settlement seems to be mutually satisfactory, under the circumstances. The alimony Is to be, paid for the first year in amounts of S2OO, S2OO and S6OO, and thereafter SI,OOO per year. Mr. Hansson and family have lived In the old Alfred McCoy property on McCoy avenue for the past eight A- nine years, and Mr. Hansson and son are still living there.
