DIVORCED AND REMARRIED IN FIVE HOURS

On the grounds of desertion and adultery, a divorce was granted Ursula DeNoe, by the Circuit Court at 11 o’clock, Tuesday. Before 4 o’clock a marriage license was issued by the Clerk for Robert Lassen of Wyoming and Ursula DeNoe of Monmouth, who were married at the residence of J. L. Corbett, in this city, about 4 o’clock the same day in the presence of a number of friends.

Mr. Lassen is a well-to-do citizen of Wyoming and his bride is a comely woman about 30 years of age, whose former worthless husband made their life burdensome from the time of their marriage at Tipton in 1877 to the present. For two years past she has resided with her brother at Monmouth, where Mr. Lassen made her acquaintance.
