as In tho West.
' Hrfdseport, Comm., Nov. 5. Fair-Afield
county -is getiPlr.g as 'bad a reputi&tiknv
for majiy Bind easy divorces as South
Eiakota. Judge Jlmer ha3 been on the
bench of it'he Superior court in this city
for "tihe test iJhree weeks, and every
Friday, which iSs divorce day, he has
had from twelve to tworety-four peH
Itons for divorce to pass on. Judge El
mer .took occasion 'lafit Ful'dlay to ay a
word about the epidemic of divorces
Whlrfh ipuwalls in Failrflfild county. He
amnoumced that lie would not allow Jv?
61me of the court to be mianopollxed by
attorneys with divorce petitions to the
exclusilon of ottoer business, and shut
off further divorce buslmeps for the day.
Nearly all the judges of the Superior
courts of this stato which have juris
diction over petitions for dlvoroe have
the reputation of being liberal In their
decisions on divorce proceedings. - A
case Is brought and service Is made on
the defendant. If there is no appear
ance for the defendant the case goes on
the docket as an uncontested case.
There it must remain three months
before It can be claimed for trial. Then
the hearing Is had, and with satisfac
tory proof that the defendant has been
apprised of the suit and proof sufficient
to make out a case under the question
ing of the attorney, the judge, In nine
cases out of ten, tells the petitioner to
"take the decree."

Ulghwaymea Stop Two Travelers Near
Bordontown.
Bordcntown, N. J., Nov. B. High
waymen made two attempts to hold up
travelers on the road at a lonely spot
known as the Mill Hollow, near this
city, tonight. Miss Elmlra Reed, of
White Hill, was driving homeward from
this city when two- men emerged from
the hushes and trees at the aide of the
road and ordered her to stop and hand
over her valuables. Miss Reed coolly
turned her horse's head and drove to
the residence of Solomon Hunt, near
by. A farm hand, armed with a bouble
barreled shotgun, was sent along with
her. A sharp lookout was kept for the
fellows, but they were not sighted.
Previous to Miss Reed's experience a
man from Trenton, who was driving
near the same spot, was ordered to stop.
As he declined, the footpads sent five
shots after him, but none tok effect.
