Accuses His Wife,

John III. Bause the 18th of last January
made Jennie Nails his wife. Now he has
pettioned the Equity Court to sever the
matrimonial bonds which since then have
joined them together. Until the 9TH of last
month they lived together, when Mr. Bause
claims, his wife visited house of i'll repute
with one Charles Leeds, and there commit
ted adultery with the said Leeds He re-
fused to longer live with his wife, says Mr..
Bause, and she then complained to the
Capital Traction Company, by whom he
was employed, that he refused to support
her and their child. which was born to
them about month after their marriage.
The company, he complains, thereupon dis
changed him without properly investigating
1nto7he case. He says that his wife is not
a proper person to have the custody of the
child, and prays that it be placed in some
suitable asylum. Attorneys Flora & Rupli
represent the complainant

GREAT WALL OF WATER.
Several Persons Drowned and Much
Property Damaged in
Colorado.

Beaver, Col, Aug. 20.-A special to
the fines from Mogollon, n. NJ, says
that terrible cloudburst struck that
place about p. IN. yesterday, leaving
| death and destruction behind. John
Knight, a miner who resided at George
town. was drowned in his cabin. Sew
eral others are reported missing, but
so far only two bodies, those of Knight
and an unknown Mexican, have been
recovered. These were found i'll a field
about six miles below. About 100 fam
lies have been rendered homeless and
thirty houses washed away Property
of the Colonial Mining company OF Bos-
ton, Mass, has suffered to a large eX-
tent, the assay office, mill house, pow
der house and blacksmith shop being
washed away. 1t is feared the mine is
filled with mud and water. The man
ager and assayers had narrow escape.
being assisted to the bank by means of
ropes.
The Deep Down Mining company Of
Kansas City lost its main office and as
say Office. The place is situated in a
deep canyon between high mountains
feet in the street and lasted over thirty
minutes. Had it so continued ten min
uteS longer the whole town would have
been swept away as the debris had col
lected in the street, forming a solid
wall, just as the flood began to recede
capped damage. The wagon road lead
ing up the mountain to the town,
which was built a few years ago at inn
mense cost and which is the only outlet
for freightcrs, is entirely ruined and
all goods brought into the camp will
have to come on pack animals. The
storm was general in this section of the
territory.
Advices from Graham state that about
4 O'Clock yesterday afternoon a cloud
burst on the mountain side caused
food at the Confidence mine. property
of Denver, Col, situated about three
miles from there. The flood carried
away the shop and supplies of the mine
Nine horses which were at the ore
chutes loading ore for the mill were
washed over the steep precipice and
killed. The men working at the tunnel
barely escaped with their lives. 1t is
feared that great damage is done on the
other side of the Mogollon district
Nothing definite can be learned on ac-
count of telephone communication being
broken.
It is feared that the loss of life around
Mogollon will be much greater than first
reports make it. There were at least
twenty persons, mostly miners, living
right in the track of the great wall of
water. They occupied for the most part
adobe dwellings. These have been swept
away and their occupants cannot be
heard from. Some of these may have
been warned in time to get out of the
way, but it is certain that a number
have persisted.
The loss to the mining companies will
amount to thousands of dollars. Elk
pensive machinery had lately been put
in the mines and much of this is a total
