%25,OOO Damages.
The Unexpected Wedding Gin Of Too
Anxious Bride.


What appears to be a case of outrageous
and indecent treatment of a faithful wife
came to light at White River junction last
week. The offending husband is Dr. o.
W. Daley of that place, a man 20 years
old, whose parents are respected residents
of Montpelier. His wife, to whom he was
married in 1886, was Miss Ray of Hines
burg, an estimabe young woman, against
whom no word of reproach has ever been
said. Before his marriage to Miss Ray,
Daley had been acquainted with Mae
Gates, daughter of the late Geo. W.
Gates of White River Junction, the wealth
lest man in that place. According to the
published reports Miss Gates was very
much interested in DIR. Daley, who had
"A drug store at White River junction, and
there was some surprise at the time because
he did not marry her Since 1887 Miss
Gatess father, mother and brother have
died, leaving her the sole heir to a large es-
tate. In 1889, after these events took
place, Daley said he was going to move to
Medford, Mass, and his wife went to Mont
peier to live with his parents in the mean
time. He did not move to MedfOrd, how
ever, but proceeded to devote himself to
Miss Gates and she to him. In the spring
| of 1890 DR.. Daley paid his wife a visit at
Montpelier, when he gave her the surpris-
ing information that he should no longer
support her. In the mean time Miss
Gates was putting up a handsome building
at White River Junction, in which was the
handsomeSt drug store in the state. and in
to which Daley removed in due time.
Last spring he went TO Yankton. So. Oak.
| staid there to secure the necessary so days
of legal residence, opened proceedings for
| divorce, got the coveted document on the
oath of last October, FASTENED back to
White River Junction, to which place he
had paid one visit during his 90 days resi-
dence in Dakota, and after visiting several
| clergymen who refused their services found
a Bellows Falls minister who married him
! to Miss Gates on Thursday of last week.
while the bride was putting the finishing
| touches to her orange blossoms as the
Montpelier Watchmln's bright young man
states it, papers were served on her by the
rejected wifes lawyers for $4,000 dam
ages for alternating her husbands affections.
Daley has tried to get his parents to dis
card his deserted wife, but they declare
that so long as they have a home she shall
have one with them. Let us not talk too
much about New England virtue while
events like this must be recorded.
