THIRTEEN TIMES MARRIED.

Tho Remarkable Matrimonial Career Of
an American in Mexico.
ZAcArEcAs. Mexico. July 1O-Frank q.
Lawson, an American mechanic Of this
city, has been arrested and jailed on q
charge of exceeding the limits prescribed by
an old Mexican law still in force regulating
matrimony. Lawson came here about four
years ago from the City Of Mexico. bring
ing with him pretty Spanish woman az
his wife. She died two months after their
arrival, and Lawson soon took another
young wife. She died also, and he con-
tinued to exercise his matrimonial pro-
rensities at rate that astonished the ma
tives, particularly as mono Of the wives
lived longer than two or three
months after becoming a bride. Law
son never wore the weeds longer than
three months after the demise of his re-
spective wives, when he would repeat the
matrimonial experiment.. The people of
ters, and thsy let Lawson alone with his re-
markable and unfortunate domestic affairs
until three days ago, when it w6s learned
that he had married his thirteenth wife
since his arrival in Zacatecas.
The authorities began working on the
case, and as there was NO evidence at hand
to show that his twelve previous wives died
from other than natural causes. he was ar
rested under the law enacted many years
ago, which prohibits man entering into
the matrimonial state more than nine
times Lawson therefore has four offenses
to answer for and so will probably receive a
long term in prison. He ia about 40 years
old, we'll educated, and has resided in Mex
loo many years.

M1ssouLA. July TO- Special. THE fine
game of ball put up yesterday by the Mis-
soula and Philipsburg teams had the effect
of bringing out = large crowd to-day.
Though good one, il lacked the exciting
features of the previous one, and by COM
parison was tame. The Missoulas started
out with . good lead, which they kept to
the finish. Hill pitched for the Burghers
and O'Brien for Missoula. Both did good
work and the umpire's decisions were gen-
orally satisfactory. Moneys brilliant play
ing ON first was repeated to-day. In the
nings Smith batted a bail to center field
which rolled between Moneys feet. He.
however, moved as if he had the ball, and
the audience and most Of the players
thought he had it, thereby keeping man
on second from running to third until the
right fielder had the ball, which piece Of
quick wit probably prevented 4 run. Score:

ST.. JOSEPH. NO., July 10.-A case in the
criminal court took sensational turn yes
terday. On the night of April "a. 1891,
Emmett G. Wells, leading merchant Of
Rushville, this county, was waylaid and
shot. After severe struggle he recovered.
Suspicion pointed TO two young men,
Luther Moberly and Dan Elliott. Wells
was the guardian of the latter. and tho orr
cumstance indicated that he and Mobsrly
had planned to kill Wells in order that
Elliott could come into possession Of 81 900
which Wells held in trust. Had Wells died
Elliott would have had the right to a.
point his own guardian. Both were Mf-
rested and indicted for assault with intent
to kill and admitted to bail. MoberIy was
tried last week and the jury brought in 1
verdict fixing the punishment at two years
in the penitentiary. Elliott was before 3
notary public yesterday and made sworn
confession that ho himself had planned the
murder of Wells, and had fired the shot,
and that Moberly knew nothing whatever
about the deed. This confession Elliott
took to the attorney for Moberly, and stat
ing that he desired to act the part of q man
if it cost him his own liberty. asked them
to use it in their argument for new trial
for Moberly.
