The Irwin divorce case mentioned in our last as then pending in the Circuit Court was decided by Judge Thomas on Wednesday. Mrs. Irwin was the recipient of the divorce and not the Dr. The court also gave Mrs. I all she asked: Alimony, $5,000, the custody of 3 girls and one boy; and $1500 for the support of said children. The Doctor was awarded the care and custody of two boys and given the privilege of paying all attorney fees and costs of suit - typed by kbz

Lena Isenberger took a throw at the matrimonial lottery and in getting Edgar drew a large, elegant blank. Ed carried on like a Hottentor rather than a white man and had she been compelled to depend on his efforts Lena would have gone out of existence from starvation long ago. Besides a decree of divorce the plaintiff asks for the care and custody of their two children. - kbz
