we're furnished in time to make elaborate prep
arations for the match, which was long and re-
morseless, and ended in draw.

In the courts at South Bend, recently, Sam
B. Collins, of Laporte entered suit for an in
junction to restrain Josephine Drollinger, his
divorced wife, and W. F. George from making
sales of his so-called opium antidote, and also
that they be restrained from using list of
names of his patients alleged to have been sur
obtained. The case is an excep-
tional one as regards the right of divorced
wife to the use of valuable secret belonging
to her former husband. The court enjoined
defendants from the use of the names of pa
tients, but held that the divorced wife might
rightfully use her knowledge of the .'cure ="
precisely as she might any other intelligence of
value taught to her by him.
