The Vancouver independent. (Vancouver, W.T. [Wash.]) 1875-1910, 1880-12-02

The superior court of Chicago had
before ii case of curious complica-
tions. Some months ago William \.
Sloan married n woman in Ohio,
moved to Iowa and obtained IA divorce
through Chicago divorce lawyer, and
upon the same day married another
woman in Iowa. The courts of the
latter state declared the divorce pro-
ceedings illegal and the second mar
riagc adultcrous. The Chicago court
held that the divorce was valid accord
ing to the laws of Illinois. 1t is there
fore illegal for sloan to live with either
of his wives, although he has children
by both. He might, however, legally
live with his Ohio wife in Iowa and
with his Iowa wife in Illinois, but
could not live with his Ohio wife in
Illinois or with the Iowa wife in Iowa.
The increased vote in New York
state, over 1876, is about 2s,ON. Six
weeks ago the business men OF the
state realized the situation and went
To work. \ friend, writing from New
York city under date of the 23d, says:
never dreamed that the movement
was capable of so much vitality, until
now that il is clearly demonstrated,
the only one that points To success.
1t i perfectly marvellous how the move
ment has spread throughout the state,
and in all other states where mechan-
ical industry is prosperous and con-
tented 1t exceeds anything ever
known in the history of politics, and
so distinct and separate has it crystal
lized that politicians are amazed, and
for the first time they are obliged to
follow instead of lead.

Judging by the activity and energy
with which the explorations and sur
vcys in the Cascade mountains are be-
ing carried ON Mt this late time in the
season there can he no doubt of the in
tention of the y. L. Il. II. Co. to start
their line over the mountains next
season. \ surveying party went into
the mountains from this side IA few
days ago, and about the same time
Engineer Sheets and party started in
from the east side. 1t is the hope of
these parties to complete their work
and meet in the mountains before the
snow drives them out. \ telegram
from Mr.. Billings to General Sprague,
dated Nov. Il, says: ~ have pur-
chased 5000 tons of steel rails to re-
place old rails on the Dakota division,
is, 900 tons for the Yellowstone divis-
ion, and 10000 tons for the Pacific side.
Am negotiating for more Pacific ship
ments, tocommcnce in January All
the capital to complete the road across
the continent can be secured as fast as
needed, and the company are crowd
ing their work as rapidly as they can.
1t is within the possibilities that we
shall see the whole line in operation
not later than 1883. olympia Courier

The DEATH I.oCK.-I.ast Tuesday
we noticed the antlcrs and skulls of
two bucks in front of Mr.. Powers fur
niture store on Second street, the
horns being so interlocked as to be
difficult of separation. Mr.. Anderson
informed us that he had purchased
them from hunter on the North fork
of the John Day, who found them in
that position, with the skeletons of
the two bucks entire. 1t is presumed
that the two bucks got into combat,
and getting their antlers locked to-
gethcr could not separate them, and
death ensued from starvation. Old
hunters inform us that they fire.
quently meet with such relies, and it
is common occurrence for these ami
mails to meet death from this cause. -
