WASHINGTON, Nov. lO.-A scene in the
Courtroom in which the Jeanette Board
sits was rather dramatic this afternoon.
A number Of lady relatives of Lieutenant
Chip were in attendance during Melville's
account of the sufferings Of the party.
He narrated an incident in which Chip,
losing his strength and courage, threw
himself down on a sled and besought the
party to go and leave him, saying there
was no use for him to struggle on further.
Melville was somewhat affected as he re-
called the incident, while the ladies burst
into tears, aud, finding themselves unable
to listen calmly to q further account OF his
s~ufferings, left the room.
Acting Secretary Joslyn decided a case
to-day where a husband and wife were vol
unfairly divorced, in order that the wife
could make entry OF land under the Home
stead laws. The woman subsequently
lived with the divorced husband. The de-
cision holds that in consequence thereof a
woman cannot be considered the head OF a
family WITHIN the meaning of the law, and
the land entry was fraudulent.
