HARTINGTON — Five divorces were granted, one divorce case was dismissed, and one is still pending in the special session of District Court, which began Monday with Judgre Guy T. Graves in charge.
The Mackey divorce case, in which wide interest was manifested, was dismissed by Judge Graves, who advised the parties to live apart from relatives, expressing the belief that if they did so, thet could get along together.
The indications are that the Herman Rolfs case may also be settled by the parties.
The Mrsny divorce case is attracting most attention as relatives from both parties from Schuyler, their former home, as well as from Randolph, where the shooting occurred, crowding the court room during the hearing. Also during court, the Meridian Bridge Company was awarded a verdict of $2,000 in the suit against the estate of Elizabeth Schulte.
Mrs. Schulte had agreed to purchase stock in the company but failed to complete the deal before her death.

HARTINGTON — Floods of the Platte and Elkhorn rivers had nothing on the one at the D.E. Ewing home Friday when a heavy bread box fell accidentally, and broke the faucet off the lower end of the hot water tank in the kitchen. The box fell with considerable force and broke the tap off cleanly. Immediately, a jet of water spurted from the tank against the opposite wall, and the stream flowed steadily for some time before the water could be shut off. Most of the water immediately sought its way to a lower level in the basement and nearly a foot of water accumulated in the coal bin.
