ent of the Oregon Pacific railroad at Corval-
lis, Or. Mrs. Mulcahy's suit was brought
on the ground of cruelty and she proved

was manifested here when decision in the
Mulcahy divorce case was announced.

account of the prominence of both parties
MIR. Mulcahy finds himself again married
man when he thought he was perfectly free.
Ihe case was reopened in July last and it
has taken Judge Rumsey three months to
reverse the decision. The court claims the
charge OF lntidelity was absolutely proven.
The fact that Mr.. Mulcahy accused his wife
OF intidelity makes the charge against him
OF cruelty. The decision was reversed in
accordance. Mrs. Mulcahy had considera-
bic trouble in getting the two beautiful and
accomplished daughters of the unhappy
couple. They positively refused to 60 with
her but upon advice consented to go. Mrs.
Mulcahy is a handsome and stylish woman
and belongs to one of the first families of

ing, as he has never cared about railroad
work. Nothing definite is known about
his future plans. Money has been freely
spent by both parties in the case. Mr..
Mulcahy would not listen to any kind of .
compromise. He is nicely spoken of by the
parents of Mrs. Mulcahy, who think he has
not given the matter due consideration and
hope for the matters to right themselves.
Those who know him say he will never live
with his wife and will win in the end.
There is no reason why he cannot now Sc
