viewed the fire trap as yet uumoved.

Mrs. Blaine WIN &c, Her Divorce.

SIOUX FALLS, s. D., Feb. 13.-The
Blaine divorce case is virtually at an
end and the unfortunate wife of James
G. Blaine. jr., will get her decree next
week to a certainty. Judge Palmer, who
is Blaine's attorney, received news from
Deadwood to the effect that no answer
had been made. The order of the court
granted temporary alimony and attor-
ney fees, and held that young Blaine
was in contempt. This places the case
exactly in the position where default
is entered in divorce proceedings. The
next move will be to merely ask the
court to dismiss the answer of young
Blaine and order an immediate trial
The Judgment of alimony now amounts
to 81. 200, and will be good in any state
il it can be collected from Blaine. Mrs.
Blaine is stopping in Sioux Falls, and
will IN all likelihood remain here, as it
is not necessary for her to go to Dead
wood. Under the circumstances she
feels quite elated over the turn of af-
fairs. The remaining proceedings
which will come up at the trial on the
issuance will be the decree fixing per-
manent alimony and giving the mother
custody of Jimmie the Third
