Barlow lost the suit, but it was followed by a divorce action by Mrs. Barnes, charging immoral relations. This was a far different ahow for Barnes and it began for him nearly sixteen years as the central figure in many courtroom scenes. The divorce was denied, but It was the forerunner of five similar suits, filed at different periods by either the husband or wife, ending In 1921 at Las Vegas, where Barnes obtained a divorce on grounds of desertion. The next day, he married Jane Hartlgan, named by Mrs.

Barnes as co-respondent. This second marriage brought a renewal of domestic troubles. In 1923 Barnes obtained a divorce in Las Vegas claiming the second Mrs, Barnes had horsewhipped him.

Jane Barnes, his second wife, by whom he had his only children, two girls and a boy, A sister, Mrs. Lydia Bishop, living in Michigan, is the only other survivor. Around the first two wives and the circus was built the sensational life of Barnes, from which he sought to escape two years ago when he sold out for a million dollars and began an almost secluded life at his home in Los Angeles. Hardly a year of this quiet retirement passed before his health began to fall. From the time of his arrival here he was confined to bed almost constantly and a ranch where he lived was guarded to protect the quiet that he sought.

Barnes an unusual success as a master showman and then, In his most prosperous years, It led him to the court in a series of domestic troubles, which kept his name In sensational cases for nearly sixteen years. Although the public knew him as owner of the Al O. Barnes Circus for thirty-five years, he waa christened at his birth In Lobo, Sept. 1, 1862, "Alpheus George Barnes Stonehouse." His early life was spent on a farm, but the spirit of the showman lived in all his youthful play, leading him In the following years to circus life.

With Dollie Barlow, whom he later married and who figured with him ill' many bitter court battles, he started a humble wagon show in Glenwood Springs, In 1895. The showt was a squeaky phonograph, a pony and a picture machine, now common to the penny galleries of metropolitan cities. Success came to them from the outset. In 1900, they married and consolidated the wsaon show and several small road acts to form the nucleus for the Al G. Barnes Cir- and try.
