Ernsberger of 1141 K. Miner St., was also granted. The wife claims that her life had been made miserable by the fact that her husband beat and struck her and that she has been forced to go to work to earn her own living. The eoupde had lived together from July 10. 1909, until September, 1916. The court permitted the wife to assume her maiden name, Florella R Monroe. Uecause the husband, Alonzo M. Stockman, failed to support his wife, Klmira J. Stockman, the court granted a divorce. The couple had been married for 14 years and in the last three years he has not supported the family. Delia Tronson declares In the case which she has tiled for Crystal Hamlin for divorce from her husband. Wilbur 1 1.

Theodore 1Z. Jones and Capp Cuy Singrey both received sentence in city court Saturday for child desertion.

Jones will have to pay the probation ollicer 510 each week for the support of his wife and family, or else seive out the sentence. Singrey will have to furnish a $100 bond to guarantee that he will pay his wife $3 each weer for two years. Fach man has three children and both have been arrested and brought before the court on prewojs occasions. Some doubt was expressed as to whether Singrey would cairy out the order of the court, since he claims that he had a good position at Racine, Wis., and intends to go there as soon as lie is released. The court took cognizance of the fact and decreed that he must furnish a bond of 5100 to serve as a guarantee and that he must pay the money through the city clerk's olfice to insure regu-' larity.

Following the leid of a big drop in the price of pgs at the city market Saturday morning, retail grocers of the city disposed of fresh country eg?s at 37c, two cents more than the price paid at the mart. Ca.se ejjgs brought üSc a dozen at local groceries. Friday, retail grocers were sell-

jing fresh eggs at 50c per dozen, the

.-ame price as quoted last Saturday at the city market. It is the opinion of the dearers and farmers that the price of neu fruit will continue to drop during the next several weeks. Potatoes which have been quoted as high as $3.t., also took a decrease, helilng at both the city market and South Pend groceries at 5 -.50. Twenty bushels were on sale Saturday morning at the mart on the Colfax av. bridge. It is the belief of Pryan A. Miller, city sealer, that another drop will be recorded during the "next seven days. Despite the lowering in price of eggs, potatoes and butter, which also was selling at two cents below last Saturday's price of 40c, fresh meats continued to sell at the usual prices, dressed chicken bringing 22c, spare ribs 18c. and ham 17c.
