A D. Campbell of Belt Applies for
Absolute Divorce.

Meeting-A Runaway.

Great Falls, May 3-Rather a sensa-
tional divorce suit was filed in the office
of the clerk of the district court late
yesterday afternoon in which A. d.
Campbell, resident of Belt, petitions for
an absolute divorce from Jessie Camp
bell, his bride of a few months The
complaint states that the couple were
married at White Sulphur Springs Aug.
10, 1895, and alleges that their domestic
relations were of a rosy hue until Feb.
ii, 1896, when the defendant deserted the
home of the plaintiff without cause or
Icrovocation and against the will of the
plaintiff, and ever thereafter refused to
renew the relations of a wife, housekeep-
er and bride of less than a year. 1t is
further alleged in the document now on
file that the defendant wilfully and
knowingly entered a house of ill-fame at
Belt on April 15, 1896, with the avowed
purpose of becoming a regular inmate
thereof and engaging in immoral prac-
tees. Mr. Campbell is evidently thor
oughly disguised with his brief expert
ence in matrimony and yearns for legal
freedom from the yoke he has borne
without previous complaint since August
of last year. Attorney McAnelly has
been retained as counsel for plaintiff and
the defendant is not as yet represented
by legal talent.
Corps have decided that as a feature of
Decoration day services there should be
a salute to the flag and the singing of pa
triotic odes by 40 children, representing
the different states of the union Mrs
Il. Hamilton, Mrs. /. w. Thrasher, Mrs.
j. Smith and Miss Myrtle Mettler COM
pose committee which will select the
children and probably drill them in the
exercises. The children from the West
Side school, who have been drilled byi
their teacher. Mrs. Smith, rehearsed the
salute to the flag at the corps meeting
yesterday afternoon and sang several
songs very nicely. The Relief Corps will
accept an invitation from the G. A. r.
post to attend the exercises at the hall
the evening of Decoration day.
AT meeting of the school board last
night superintendent Largent reported
that the per cent. of attendance at the
schools for the month of April was the
lowest recorded in the history of Great
Falls. This, he thought, was largely due
TO the scare over diphtheria and pre-
Nalilng sickness. &A& al
was ordered closed and the furniture will
be removed to the Boston & Montana
school building. Children from Little
Chicago, Little Milwaukee and the b. &
M. smelter, who have heretofore attend
