NO MORMON|SM FOR HER
Jane Hunter Married SO She
Could Have a Husband
All Her Own.
Instead of Being One of Many Wives
She Became the Wife of
Two Men.

A Mormon girls marriage to two men
has been the subject of litigation for several
years, and yesterday the Supreme Court
ended the troubles by declaring that the
first marriage alone was legal.
Jesse Hunter brought suit TO annul a
marriage entered into with the defendant,
Jane Elizabeth Milan, at Los Angeles on
July 3, 1862, on the ground that at the
time of the marriage the defendant had
another husband living, man named
Joseph Milan.
The two parties to the suit lived together
as man and wife from the time of their
marriage in 1862 to 1884, when Hunter
learned of Milam's existence. There was
a separation, and the wife then obtained a
divorce from her husband OF 1858.
When the second husband began pro-
ceedings for the annulment of his mar
rage the wife filed an answer admitting
that she had married Milan il 1858. But
she declared that the marriage was not a
legal one, as she was only Is years old at
the time and she married without the con-
sent of her parents. She stated that no
license for the marriage had been obtained
and that the ceremony was not performed
Dy any pouy having 1eSai autuoIAey eo w
act.
More than that, within ten days after
the wedding she left her husband and re-
turned home and Milan got out of the
country. Since that time she has heard
nothing from the man and to this day she
does not know whether he is dead or alive.
If she could prove that he was dead in 1862
her second marriage would be unquestion-
ably legal, but Hunter has obtained good
evidence that SIch WAS not the fact
The Superior Court at Los Angeles on
June Ia, 1893, declared the defendant in the
suit to be the legal wife of Hunter, taking
the ground that the marriage TO the first
husband was not according to law.
This decision is reversed by the Supreme
Court, however, and the decree of divorce,
issued in 1884, is mentioned as evidence
that the missing husband was alive. On
this evidence the conclusion of the first
husbands existence is reached, and the
court declares that the marriage to Hunter
WAS invalid and a new trial is ordered.

THE SUIT WITHDRAWN.
DR.. Stearns Ends His Breach of
Promise Case by Marrying
Mrs. Ramage.

The suit of Mrs. Bridget Ramage against
Dr. Victor ]. Stearns to recover $4,000
damages for breach of promise has been
dismissed in the Superior Court. The set
tlement is on the basis of marriage. DR..
Stearns and Mrs. Ramage became husband
and wife several days ago, the ceremony
being performed at San Jose, and now
they are residing at 417& Third street.
DR.. Stearns is a member of the Olympic
Club, and is well known about town. He
has practiced medicine here eleven years,
and is about 40 years old. A year and a
half ago his first wife died, making the
doctor sole heir to property which has
been appraised at 1900. 1t included a
building at 100 Fifth street, which DR..
Stearns sold for $4,000.
In January of last year the doctor be-
came acquainted with Mrs. Ramage, and
out of that acquaintance the suit for breach
of promise grew.

We were students together in the
Edinburgh University and graduated in
1862 from the same class. Upon Aiexan-
der Morgan was conferred the degree of
MD, and upon myself NIB. and C.M.
We were unlike each other in many re-
spects; none, however, that would entitle
me TO burden my story, more than the
difference in our physical appearance.
My face showed the marks of unceasing
study and the inroads of mental distress
contiguous to the terrible strain upon me
preceding my graduation.
Alexander Morgan, on the contrary,
possessed face wonderful in its strength,
impressive in its ever-changing moods,
and with that remarkable freshness of
youth which, at 80 years of age, made him
look still in his latter teens. This seeming
blessing proved to be the curse of his
strange existence.
Our paths, rather peculiarly, lay side
by side, and many years of close friendship
brought US constantly together. 1 confess,
not with shame, however, because l after
ward repaid him, that he supplied me with
the means to complete my course at the
academy, so that l was able to enjoy the
important MD. after my own name.

ever place he enters; welcome everywhere,
successful everywhere. His sleep is not an
alienation of wakeful dependency and
idiotic dreams, but cradle sweet as any
he ever enjoyed in babyhood. He enters
it each night as the trusting child of nature,
end springs from it every morning better
man than ever before. His breakfast is de-
lightful to him as is food to a fasting
traveller in the desert, for his stomach is
out of employment, free from all
complications and membranes, and
waiting for an engagement. His other
meals are pleasant and beneficial in
cidents of the day. His work is useful,
thrifty sort of amusement, for if mind, soul
and body contain perfect health their every
action and movement is thrill of delig bit.
His amusements are full of the most de-
