divorce from Lieut. H. NJ. Creel, one Of the
founders Of the city. The complaint alleges
that plaintiff, who is twenty seven years of age,
was married in Indian Territory on May 10,

years; that there has been no issue; that since
the marriage and subsequent to November,

the defendant has repeatedly treated the plain
tiff IN cruel and inhuman manner, beating
her with revolver and his fist Several acts
of this kind are specified and the dates given,
the last being on the 18th inst The plaintiff
charges that by reason of one of these beatings
she became sick and sore, and was compelled
to fly from home to save herself from further
beating, and obtai protection from the assaults
of said defendant; that she returned to the
house of the defendant on his promise to treat
her as husband should, which promise
was violated: that she has never given defend
ant any cause for such treatment.
The second act in the drama was performed
Thursday morning. Mrs. Creel has been stop
ping at the residence of Mr.. Prescott, presi-
evening Mrs. Prescott was calling at the house
of friend, when Creel came in. He told Mrs.
Prescott to mind her own business and not in
terfere with his family affairs The lady re-
piled she was always ready to succor and de-
fend the victim of wife beaten. Creel then
made several insulting remarks. Thursday
morning Mr.. Prescott saw Creel on the street,
and hailed him. Creei turned and drew a A. cali
Der revolver. Prescott grasped the weapon
with his left hand, and commenced hitting
Creel in the face with his right third party

Coal Land of the Northwest,

At the meeting Of the National Academy Of
science at Newport, R. L, Prof. R Pumpelly,
who had charge of the survey Of the country
along the Northern Pacific in 1881, read a
papsr on the Mesozoic Goals Of the Northwest
The Goals in Washington Territory, Northern
Montana, Idaho, Oregon and Dakota are
all cretaceous, from the top Of the
Laramie formation down. From the
Missouri river west to the Rocky Mountains,
the coal layers thirteen to sixteen feet thick,
but are Ignite and crumble on exposure.
West of that the layers two to six feet thick,
but are bituminous coking Goals In Judith
basin, up to or past the British line, are coking
Goals from eighteen inches to five or six feet
thick. The next great coal fields are west of
the Cascade range. Here the thickness of car
boniferous formations is at least 1900 feet
All the bituminous coal has been studied, but
not yet the Ignite, which is less valu-
able. Some of these Goals have been
converted into natural coke, having the same
chemical composition as anthracite. The Bit
luminous coal is confined to strips along the
Cascade range and Vancouver's island The to-
tai amount Of carboniferous material is very
great The coal fields of Wyoming territory
have no representative in the North.
