Mrs. Edgerton May Amend.

Special to the Globe.
HELENA, Mont, June 25. Judge
Hunt IN district court to-day rendered a
decision in the case of Kate Edgerton
against her husband, E. D. Edgerton.
The judge refused to throw her case
out, but sustained Edgerton's demurrer
to the demurrer. One of the grounds
for the demurrer was that her suit was
barred by the statute of limitation. The
judge would not allow it on these
grounds, but did on formal matters, he
held that the statute of Limitation did
not apply if fraud could be shown, and
for that reason granted Mr.. Edgerton
ten days more time in which to file an
amended complaint. The decision rem
dered is in her suit for alimony pending
the determination of the case in the
Boulder court to set aside the alleged
divorce obtained by EdgertOn in 1887.
The decision is looked upon as a fore
cast that the case will terminate in Ed
gcrCOn'S favor.

"To reject or to neglect the opportunity

The Wolves OF Hungary.


1t seems strange to read that on one
estate in Hungary twenty persons have
been devoured by wolves. 1t is 1000
years since that race stole down from
Northern Asia and made homes on the
Dnieper and the Don; it is 1,400 years
since they swept over the Roman en-
pire. For 1000 years and more they
have lived in the villages and cultivated
their beautiful fields in Hungary, and
yet every year few of them have
been eaten by wolves. 1t is strange that a
fighting race like them--good horsemen.
good shots, expert cavalry soldiers-have
not before this exterminated all the
wolves of their country. Hungary proper
is just about the size Of Utah, and with all
the crown lands included and all the ada
cent provinces. which are in fact Hun
garian more than anything else. the whole
area is less by 5000 square miles
than the state of California How
long would the wolves last in
either Utah or California if they
were in the habit of eating people when
they went out? A bounty would be offered
by the state for their scalps, and there
would not be wolf left in two wears.
And still they have been killing people in
Hungary for 1900 years; and those VII
layers, instead of going out to exterminate
the brutes, simply put stronger barricade
before their windows and take the chances
of outrunning them if they meet them
on the highway. There are some things
that are better done on this side of the
Atlantic than on the other.
