WHEN PENSION STOPPED.
Mrs. Bevelle Went Out to Look for
Husband Who Had Divorced Her.
In his suit for divorce Benjamin T. Bevelle, an old soldier, alleged that at Topeka, Kas. his wife drove him from home with a stout club and added that she was "glad to get rid of him." Mr. Bevelle fled to Independence, where he obtained a divorce by publication. Mrs. Bevelle was unaware that the matrimonial ties had been severed until she received notice from Washington, D. C., to the effect that Mr. Bevelle's pension money would all go to Mr. Bevelle thereafter. Mrs. Bevelle previously had been getting a share of the money.
Mrs. Bevelle brought an action in the circuit court at Independence to have Bevelle's divorce decree set aside. Yesterday the court held up Mr. Bevelle's end of the case.
