from the Davenport Leader; Davenport, Iowa; Monday, December 6, 1897: They had a peculiar case at Tipton last week. James Adams lived there in 1860, and enlisted in company C of the Twenty-fourth Iowa. Returning from the war, he was married and lived near Tipton with his wife, Nancy E. Adams, until 1871. One day in that year, he went out to get a load of chips and never returned. Nothing was known of his whereabouts for a long time, but later information came that he was living near Ord, Nebraska, with another woman and had become well-to-do. Last summer his wife and son engaged with Dick Burrows to take them to Nebraska overland to investigate matters, which was done. When they arrived it was found that Adams had placed all his property in the other woman’s name and was living in town, while working for her on the farm. Some kind of settlement was arrived at between the parties and Mrs. Adams returned and secured a divorce at the last term of court. Monday Burrows sued Mrs. Adams for $100, claiming a contract with her for that amount for making the Nebraska trip. The case was tried by the court, who rendered judgment for the full amount. It is understood that Mrs. Adams will appeal to the district courts.
