been instituted in Deer Lodge. The
complaint which Annie has filed, through
her attorney J. H. Duffy, goes on to tell
how they were married in the city Of
Anaconda in 1882 and how for the past
two or three years at their home in this
city her husband has continually sub
jected her to the most scandalous cruel
ties. She says Casper is q nasty, mean
thing; that upon repeated occasions he
has called her vile names and accused
her of having sustained improper rela-
tions with one John Nicholson, and also
with several other men. All these accu-
sations are positively denied by Mrs.
Singlaub. She says they are false and
unjust, and that they have caused her in
tense mental suffering and great anguish
and more than her share of pain. She
asks the court to cut the knot that ties
her TO Caspar. John Nicholson, the man
whose name has appeared in connection
with this case, is on the warpath too. He
says Singlaub lies and is an internal ras-
cal. He says that he never had anything
to do with the woman; that he knows
her, having worked in the neighborhood
where the Singlaubs reside, but that he
has never been on intimate terms with
the woman. Nicholson says that if Sing
laub does not walk in strai ghter course
hereafter, and if he persists in making
accusations Of q serious character against
parties who are innocent, that something
is liable to happen which will dissolve
the bonds Of matrimony between Mr.. and
Mrs. Singlaub before the district court
has chance to act upon the matter.
The news first announced in these col
umns that Con Hayes, the lessee Of
Gregson springs, intends to erect a SPLEEN
did hotel and natatorium at that popular
resort this summer is received with a
good deal OF approval in this city. Arch
itect Lane has drawn the plans for the
proposed improvements at the springs,
and the work of construction will com
mence early in the spring, The plan is
to erect a hotel with so rooms and Il
plunge bath 40 by 100 feet. All the
buildings will be heated by hot water
from the springs and will contain every
modern convenience. People in this
part of the country have long wished to
see something done towards making
Gregson springs more attractive as a
health resort. The water is ,lnquestion-
ably the best in this part Of the world It
is delightful place for persons to rccu-
perate and rest, and under Mr. Hayes
management it promises to become very
popular with Anaconda people Mr..
Hayes has lease, running for ten years,
with bond upon the property. The
probabilities are that he will purchase the
entire property before the lease expires
In the meantime Anaconda is glad
to learn Of the contemplated improve
ments.
John Cutfe, the police officer who was
charged with assault in the second de-
gree upon the person Of G. j. Walsh, at
torney, has been bound over to answer to
the district court This is case which
has attracted a good deal Of attention in
this city, and it has been dragging along
for some weeks. The witness Smith, or
Comboy, who testified that he was in
the cell in the city Jail at the time that
! Cutie made the assaultupon the attorney,
has also been bound over to appear as
witness in the case. Being unable to
give bonds for his appearance at the trial
he was committed to the custody of the
sheriff.
Following the suggestion first made in
the columns Of the New NORTHWEST
some weeks ago, number of business
men of Anaconda will meet this
week for the purpose Of discuss
ing the plan for a new opera house in
the Copper City. Many Of the business
men here have become aroused to the
necessity of taking an active interest in
this important matter. In general way
it is we'll understood how necessary it is
for this city to have a suitable opera
house, and it is also very well understood
that under present arrangements the city
is the loser to the extent Of good deal
of money from the fact of our not having
accommodations for first class theatrical
attractions. The old policy Of a great
