|NGL|S' STAMP ALBUM.
Sharp Trick of His Wife With
a Valuable Philatelic
Collection.
SHE DOES NOT WANT DIVORCE.
Mrs. Inglis Will Have Maintenance
and Shut the Other Woman
Out.
SHE DOES NOT WANT DIVORCE.

]. P. Inglis, the contracting a. gent of the
Union Pacific Railway Company in this
City, is half-crazed, so his friends say,
over the several suits his wife has brought
against him.
Mrs. Inglis does not want divorce. She
wants support. If she obtained a legal
separation from her recreant spouse, which
her attorney, H. A. Massey, says she could
do without trouble, she fears there would
be much difficulty in getting alimony.
In her complaint for maintenance Mrs.
Inglis alleges that another woman has
estranged her husbands affections. If
she secured a divorce she believes that
Inglis would marry this ''other woman"
Immediately and that she could not get
her alimony without much difficulty, if at
ALL
Pending the suit for maintenance the
court granted Mrs. Inglis $53 month, but
the odd part of that story is to be told.
Inglis claims that his wife has in her
possession a stamp album belonging to
him which is valued at $500 or $500. He
tried to get the album by all possible
means without resorting to the law and
failed. Finally it was decided to take her
deposition as to the whereabouts of the
valuable stamp collection.

morning. Mrs. Inglis testified that the
! album was in the possession of Mr.. Frank
lin at the Sutter-street carhouse. The at
torneys for Mr.. Ingiis lost no time when
that admission was made in sending to
Mr. Franklin for the $500 album. But Mr..
Franklin had been instructed by Mrs. In
glis to give the album to some one whose
name she was not to be told at half.past
10 the same morning.
When the angry attorneys asked her
why she had said the coveted album was
where they found it not, she smiled and
! said she had spoken the truth; she had
given it to Mr.. Franklin, and when the
| question was asked her it was still in that
! gentleman's possession.
Attorney Miller wanted the lady pun
| ished for contempt, but Judge Slack could
not see it in that light.
Inglis resigned his position with the
Union Pacific on the 1st of the month.
| Mr.. Shoemaker, the chief representative
of the company on this coast, corroboraIes
answer--that he has rendered his resigna-
ton, and adds that he is trying to prevail
on Inglis to reconsider bis determination.
He is one of the most prominent and sue
cessful contracting agents on the coast,
and earns large salary. The company
will not lose his services if 1t can help it,
| and for that reason he has been urged to
ness.
Mrs. Inglis next step was to bring an
Injunction suit to enjon her husband from
| leaving the State or disposing of any ofhis
mining stocks, which her attorney, Mr..
Massey, says are estimated to be worth
between $4,000 and $4,000. She hau
heard that he intended to convert his
stock holdings into cash and leave for
parts unknown and take their child with
| him. She was informed that he intended
to kidnap the child and her injunction suit
is now before the court.
They have been married thirteen years,
and. according to Mrs. Inglis, they lived as
happily as most persons treading lies
path double in the holy yoke until the un-
| known and her nameless attractions caused
the arrangement. She says that ever since
his infatuation her husband has systemat-
ically neglected her. If she cannot regain
his love and loyalty she does not intend
that the other woman shall get more than
! her share.
