On the same page immediately beneath are found the names of Hiram II. N ames and Ixmisa Maudlin, also granted license to assume the marriage relation, the woman in the case being one and the same person.At the last term of court the first named applicants were granted a divorce on the application of Mrs. Maudlin, to which the defendant offered no resistance. SubsequentlyMrs. Maudlin made her home with the Varnes’, in the north part of the city, while Milo moved along in the even tenor of his way. After a lime he decided that living single was not just the thing, and overtures were made to his divorced wife for a reconciliation and remarriage. The warmed-over courtship progressed handsomely and the hour was fixed for a renewal of the marital vows.Milo rented rooms, purchased furniture, paid water and gas hills in advance and Mrs. Maudlin had brought I |ea her furniture to the rooms and all was in readiness for the marriage.
