The enactment by the last legislature
Of law which provides that an appli
cant for divorce must reside in the state
six months before the application can
be made, will not be apt to materially
affect the divorce industry Of South Ds-
kota. A matter of few weeks, or two
or three months is nothing TO the men,
Der of the divorce colony. II is the
liberality of the state law which defines
the causes for divorce. and desire to
abtain the decree as quietly az possible,
which attracts the misfits of every state
in the union to ours, and there are as
many here now, and as many more
coming, as there were before the lsgis-
lature met. 1t requires something more
than the mere extension of the resi-
dence limit to lose South Dakota the no
toriety which she has already gained.

Are Behind the Bars.

Cheyenne, Wyo, March 1.-Two of
the men charged with helping in the
assassination Of George A. Wellman, a
depaty Uniiea ssate~ marshai in john
son county. during the stock trouble last
spring. are behind the bars. CLAYTON
Cruss surrendered to the state authori-
ties at Buffalo. Henry Smith is in the
county Jail here. He was captured in
the Indian territory by Sam Moses,
whose home is at Hot Springs, S. d.
Moses has been following his man three
months. Tom Hathaway, the man with
Wsllman at the time the latter was shot
in the back, swore that the men he saw
beh;nd them were Smith, Cruise and
Starr. Starr is still at large, but 10
closely pursued. The trio were among
the most desperate of the thieves and
outlaws who caused the trouble in the
north. Cruise surrendered to the au-
thorities. hoping for trial in johnson
county among friends. He must answer
before the United States Cheyenne
court. He says he can prove an alibi.
Smith says he was near the scene Of the
killing at the time, but had nothing to
do with it. Wellman had for years
been foreman of the Hill ranch, owned
by II. A. Blair and others Of Chicago.
At the time of the invasion he left.
When he went back it was with com.
mission as deputy United States marshal
in his pocket and with papers to serve.
Word was sent from Cheyenne that he
was coming and they killed him on the
road. Wellman, who was fine young
fellow and as brave as lion, had been
married but ten days when he was
murdered.
