Mrs.Dolph Granted Divorce
Judge Galloay Hods Grounds of Desertion Valid
Salem,Or.Nov.2-(Special)-Chester V.Dolph and Augusta Armstrong Dolph were 
granted a decree of divorce today by Circuit Judge William Galloway,in a suit 
brought by the wief.Desertion was the cause alleged.The complaint was filed 
late last night after the ususal office hours,and the case was tried today 
without a contest.
The complaint was not served upon the defendant in the usual manner,but 
C.V.Dolph made a voluuntray appearance  by filling a demurer by his attorney 
George  G.Bingham. The demurrer was overrulled without argument and a 
stipulation was then filed,signed by J.Fred Yates,for the plaintiff and 
Mrs.Bingham for the defendant,agreeing to the decree which should be 
rendered,if any.
Judge Galloway took the testimony of the plaintiff as to the deseertion,and 
gave a decree in her behalf,in accordance with the stipulation.The decree 
allows Mrs.Dolph a life estate in two thirds interest in C.V.Dolph's real 
property,anf gives her custody of the three children-Ruth,Dorothy,and 
Adelaide.Mr.Dolph is required by the decree to pay MrsDolph $110 per month,but 
it is specified tat this shallbe paid only in case the net profits from one 
half the propoerty interests awarded to her do not amount to $100 per month.
Dolph is to pay only the deficiency.he is also required to keep up the 
patments in certain insurance policies in which Mrs.Dolph and children are 
named as benificiary.
Efforts were made to keep the divorce proceedings from the public,and only the 
parties,court officers and witnesses knew what was going on.The Dolphs were 
married in Vicotria,B.C. in 1892.The desertion is alleged to have covered a 
period of four years.Neither of the parties to the suit resides here.
