THE WIVES OF WYOMING.
sn Injured HuSbaud,n Prota.s

Ni"n tHs virginia Enterprise.
An outraged husband at Cheyenne,
Wyoming Territory, where female suf-
frage and The political and social appur-
tenances thereto appertaining are recoR-
nized, denounces the female Jury business
through the Cheyenne Ledde-, and in
justification offers q personal scrap from
his domestic history. His wife was sum-
moned and impsneled as a Juror in an
important case. When night came, the
case not being concluded, the husband
applied to the court to have his
wife sent home, as there were several
small children there requiring her stten-
tion-the smallest, in fact being in q
starving condition, owing to the fact that
it had not been habituated to the use of
the bottle. But the husbands request
was denied. The judge said the jury
could not be separated. Tue husband
then requested permission 70 send the in
FAINT to the mother. This was also re-
fused, ON the ground that the law does
not permit thirteenth person in jury
room, and there is no statute to show
that an infant In arms is not ''person'
within the intent and meaning of the
law.
The desperate husband then attempted
TO induce the court to send all the Jurors
to his house for the night, but the effort
was failure, and the husband was in
formed that quarters had been provided
for his wife at the hotel, and that if he
wished to speak to her for . moment, he
would have to take the place of the cook.
The husband went home. How be got
through the night is not told; but when
ne learned the next day that the trial was
likely to last q week. he straightwsy pro-
ceeded to employ the best looking house.
keeper and cook in the country. At last
accounts his wife was still on the jury,
but be was becoming resigned to the stu
sion-in fact it may be said that he was
quite happy. The ''brute" concludes his
communication to the Leader "a follows:
81 don't know how the ladies felt but

the law of equal rights, but lis practical
workings, as laid down to me. l most

any way to arrange canary matter, the

the gentleman's wife ever get off that
jury, however, she will make it very
troublesome for the cook, with whom he
is getting along 50 well. Bat, perhaps,
the story is fiction Nevertheless, it
might all be true under the laws of
Wyoming, and the lesson remains.
