The Valley Falls New Era Jefferson County Thursday June 2, 1910 Around the Court House. Marriage license was issued this week to John C. PUDERBAUGH and Mystie HANEY of Ozawkie. William F. COFFMAN, the delinquent boy that was paroled by the juvenile court about a month ago, was in Saturday with his mother to report to the judge. Mrs. Coffman says that Willie has a been much better boy since he was up before the judge and that she thinks that he will be all right from now on. Frank BLUMENTHAL, otherwise known as "Frank, the warbler," who was arrested last week at North Cedar for "tapping the till" at the telephone office at Valley Falls, is to be returned to the Ohio Reform School at Toledo. After Frank had been arrested he requested the officers to notify the school and said that he had been paroled from this institution some time ago. County Attorney WORSWICK notified them and received word Wednesday that they would send a man after him. On October 6th, 1889, in the town of Bigelow, Mo., Minnie HICKMAN, of Meriden, alleges she was married to Oscar Hickman; but it would seem from the petition filed in the district court this week, her dream of love was not of long duration. She alleges that her spouse is anything but what a loving husband should be, and that in October 1909 he left her and said he was never coming back; that at this time she bought his interest in their household goods and since then she has not seen him--does not know where he is, whereupon she prays the court to grant her a divorce and the custody of their two living children, which undoubtedly the court will do at the coming term.
