they came to Great Falls in 1892, and
that she wilfully deserted him in Sep
TENDER, 1894. Her present whereabouts
are not given in the complaint.
The other divorce suit Is that of Vir-
ginia Day VS.. William Day, which is
brought in this court on change OF
venue from Park county The matrimo-
NAL troubles of this particular Day
family have been quite extensively VEN
tilated in the state papers. owing TO
the fact that this is the second time one
of them has asked for divorce. In
other words they have already been
married, divorced and remarked, and
this will make the second divorce If it
is granted. The first divorce was
granted here in March, 1894, on appli-
cation of the husband, a resident of

dried before he prevailed on her to re-
turn and again become his wife. But

marital troubles, and they separated.

time.

complaint Mr.. Day makes a lot of
counter charges and alleges that short

began to consort with other men; that
last March she left him and went to
Helena with one Sam McJempy; that
she frequented disreputable resorts in
that city and that finally she went to
Horn with her paramour and lived in
adultery with him there.

In conversation with a Standard re-
porter to-day an official of the postof-
flee department. said: THE article re-
Gently published in the Standard re-
garding the necessity of the early es-
tablishment of a carrier system in
Great Falls was timely and to the
point. Under the rules and regulations
of the department this city should
have had free delivery long ago. In
fact II was recommended by an inspec-
tor sent here to report on the matter,
and the department went so far as to
send the books, blanks and the like for
use for the service, but the deficit in
the postal revenues was so great that
1t was decided to postpone the extern
sion of the free delivery system to
many cities that were entitled to IL,
Great Falls being in the list l believe.
however, that as soon as the new post
office appropriation is available this
city will get the benefit of the carrier
system. Great Falls is spread over a
wide area of territory, and the free de-
livery system will be beneficial to a
larger number of people than any city
in the West of equal population.
