This'is one of the many complications fm the legal tangle In which the matri- monial affairs of the Kloptons are in- volved.

The suit of Mrs. Klopton against “her husband—or her former husband, depending on how the Dakota decree Is viewed-—will come vp for trial during ‘the present term of court. , SUED MAILLARD, Tals tw not the frst time that Mrs. Klopton, who {8 also known aa Mrs. Bell. has figured in a sult of law.
