Files Another Divorce Suit.
KANSAS CITY, Mo., December 20.
Young Mrs. Gertrude L. Burnes, who, after a bitter divorce suit, became reconciled last May to her husband, Fielding Burnes, almost an octogenarian, and a brother of Congressman James N. Burnes, of St. Joseph, again brought suit in the circuit court to-day for a divorce from her husband. She charges him with the grossest indignities.
The petition was at once sent for service to Platte City, where the defendant has lived for over forty years. The suit is the result of domestic troubles dating from the marriage day of Mr. and Mrs. Burnes, in July, 1892, and is the fourth which has been brought by them in the circuit courts of Jackson and Platte counties. Mr. Burnes is worth $75,000, and Mrs. Burnes charges that her husband is very miserly.
