A SAD FATE.
Death Finally Ovsrtakes IN old Veteran
of the Home

of the Home
"Budge" is responsible for another
violent death In Grand Rapids. Yes
terday morning James Anderson, aged
73 years, an inmate ot the Soldiers
Home, pocketed his little bottle and
started out in search of wherewlthal to
quench the thirst 1t is suspected that
he found it. lie was walking back on
the track of the North Park railway
when a train. heavily loaded with sun
day pleasure seekers. came rushing
along behind him. He was not on the
same track that the train was and there
was nothing to Indicate danger TO the
engineer. Moses Alley. The train
would have passed the "auld" Scotch
man IN an instant more had he not
staggered inopportunely. But he
staggered. ~he lever sas reversed in
stantly by Engineer Alley for with
horror stricken eyes he saw the danger.
Too latel A sound of crunching bones,
scream, and . groan, and the deed
was done. The man was Immediately
extrlcated and taken To the Soldiers
Home and everything possible done to
save his life. In vain About noon,
an hour after the accident, he died.
Coroner Penwarden held an lnvestiga-
ton. and found a verdict in accordance
with the story ss told by passengers,
the engineer, fireman and conductor.
Anderson had flask of whisky about
half full when he was run over and it
explains away all mystery. He has
been an inmate of the Home since 1887
He was member of the 24th Michigan
Infantry, but originally came from
Canada. He leaves no family and no
estate. He had . pension.

MIXED DIVORCE LAWS.
\ Decree Granted in California Not Neceos
saruy Valid La New York.

4 Decree Granted in California Not Neceo.
ssruy Valid La New York.
Dissatisfied husbands and wives who
fancy they have only TO go TO sono
other state to get divorce which cam
not be obtained in New York will have
something To think about In a decision
recently rendered by the general term
of the supreme court in the third de-
partmcnt, says the New York Herald.
In the case there decided it appeared
that the husband had gone to Califor-
MIA, and at the end Of six months ap-
piled for divorce from his wife, whom
he left in the east. He got the divorce.
married another woman and returned
to his old home in New York. There
upon the first wife applied in this state
for divorce on the grounds of his un-
lawful relations with alleged wife num-
Der two.
II was shown In evidence that tho
husband had never become a bona fide
citizen of California, but had gone there
and claimed residence for the mere
purpose of securing a divorce and with
the Intention of returning to New York
to live os soon as he got the divorce.
In behalf Of the husband it was claimed
that q divorce valid by the law Of Cali
fornia was valid everywhere, and that
a court of New York was bound to ac-
cept ii as such.
The general term does not take this
view. 1t holds that when both Of the
parties are citizens of New York and
one goes to another state to obtain q
divorce 1t is not only the right but the
duty of . court Of this state TO inquire
whether the residence on which the
divorce was obtained was bona fide or
''merely colorado"
What is requisite 10 constitute bona
hde residence of six months or year
and what will be regarded as u merely
colorado" residence must depend chiefly
on the circumstances of each case. But
the fact that the matter is open to in
quiry may render this way to divorce
moro difficult and uncertain than has
been generally supposed.
