For Her Divorce.

Mrs. Lizzie Yates Was the Woman In
the Case, And r &. Tibbits,
the Man.
From Saturdays Daily .

A somewhat sensational and
interesting story in which number
of persons in this city are interested
transpired few days ago. The
scene of the story is laid in different
places and might be termed, "a Tale
of Three Cities" Little Falls is one
of the places, a small town in Wis
consin. named Brule, is another, and
the climax of the drama in real life
was reached in st. Paul a few days
ago.
The story differs in some respects
from the actual experience in real life,
inasmuch as in this case it was the
man who misplaced his confidence.
Some months ago Mrs. Lizzie
Yates, applied for a divorce from her
husband on the grounds Of infidelity.
Mrs. Yates is a daughter Of Mrs.
Nathaniel Tibbits, by her former
husband, named Pitheon. While
Mrs. Yates divorce suit was in
progress. Nathanial Tibbits became
impressed with the idea that she
would make an excellent wife for his
son, R. G. Tibbits, who lives at
Brule, Wis, He forthwith set to
work to bring about the desired
match.
Correspondence issued between the
younger people and Nathaniel was
pleased. Everything apparently
was going along smoothly and there
was not even the appearance OF a
cloud to cause u ripple upon the sea
OF loves young dream. One of the
results OF the correspondence was
that Mrs. Yates should go to Brule,
inspect the younger Tibbit's rancho
and property. with view of marry
ing him when she should have
obtained her divorce.
She went. Just what her opinion
was of Tibbits and his farm will
probably never be known. After
results, however, proved quite con-
cluSively that she was not very faV-
orably impressed with either. Be
that as it may, she had too long
head on her to release the fish she
had hooked.
She returned, and in due time the
divorce suit came up for trial, and
was granted. Ii reports are to he
believed, all the expenses of the suit
were born by the younger Tibbets,
who stood ready and willing to full
fiji his part of the bargin, and marry
Mrs. Yates.
He was forced, however to suppress
his matrimonial intentions until IL
sufficient time had elapsed after the
granting of the divorce, so that no
unpleasant comment could be made
in regard to Mrs. Yates and the
soon-to-be Mrs. Tibbits.
1t was decided that the ceremony
should take place early in the pre-
sent month in ST.. Paul, where Mrs.
Yates has been living most Of the
time since she obtained her divorce.
But then, election came on and it
was decided that the ceremony which
was to make the two, one, should be
held as soon after as Tibbits could
HE himself to the Sanity City.
He arrived in st. Paul on a week
ago last Wednesday, but alas, alac,
his fair lady love was not to be
faund, He searched the city high
| and low but to no avail, Mrs.
Yates had disappeared as completely
as if the earth had opened and
swallowed her up.
Tibbits was in despair. Finally
the mutual friend who is always
bound to show up, put in appear
ance. In this case he proved an angel
in disguise. The fact was gradually
broken to Tibbits that Mrs. Yates
had eloped, in fact had gone with a
handsOmer man.
AS he broke the sad news to him,
at the same time Tibbits was in
formed that he knew a young lady
who would make him a far better
wife Tibbits listened with interest,
consented to meet the young lady,
and the upshot OF the affair was that
he proposed and was accepted.
No more long waits for Tibbits
He had had enough of them. An
immediate marriage followed. But
very little is known in regard to Mrs.
Tibbits, not even her name She is a
Milwaukes girl, and was employed
in the City Of Brewerics in a brokers'
Office.
Mr. and Mrs. Tihbits have been on
a visit to his father in this city. and
left only yesterday afternoon for
their home at Rrulc, Wis.
So endeth another romance in real
