| \ PECULIAR suit, in which Wisconsin
| people figure, was heard IN the circuit
| court at II. Paul recently. About nine
years ago Rachel Ellis brought an action
for divorce from Matthew Ellis, i'll Wis
! cOnSn. on the ground of deS"rtlOn, and
a decree was granted; but according to
| her present statement that divorce was
procured by Ellis colluSion, and he paid
| all the attorneys fees ana gave her
! a sum of money besides. Ellis has
| since died. Mrs. Ellis now insists upCn
! her right 10 have this former decree OF
| divorce declared annulied, but Judge OTIS
| decides that the decree must stand and
| that Flora Ellis Is the widow OF Matthew
| Ellis. In May, 1890, it appears that Ellis
made Will by which he left one-third of
| his property to Flora and the balance to
| his brothers and sisters. Flora claims
that Nj. Ellis destroyed this will IN
