A Mansfield Man Brings Suit fo
 Alienation of Affections.

Boston, Nov .3O.-What promises to be one of the bitterest fought and most sensational cases of the year came up in the Middlesex probate court before Judge Mcintyre today. James A. Lind of Mansfield has en- tered suit against his wife's parents, Major and Mrs. J. Edward Burbank of Maiden, for $20,OOO, charging aliena- tiom of her affections. He is also comtestEng for a divorce from his wife, for the custody of their child and for damages from John Fielding, whom he also charges with alternating his wife's affections.
 The contest for the child came up today and MT. Lind was represented by John J. Walsh of Maiden, while Mrs. Lind had John B. Haaley look ing out for her interests Mr. Hanley called MT. Lind for his witness MT. Walsh told the court that his client had not been summoned, and he Ob- jected to his going on the stand. Thereupon MT. Hanley paid the regu- lar witness fees, and MT. Lind was put on the stand. Objections were made to his lime of questioning. After an argument between the counsel MT. Hanley said. faThe man is insane, there is no doubt of that,'' referring to MT. Lind. MT. Lind told of his pursuing his wife through the west, for the purpose of getting the boy, and his final success after various encounters with the law.

There is much complaint of the late ness of the trains on the north and south road The trouble is due to the necessity of the trains waiting al Ash Fork for their connections on the Santa Fe Pacific. The last named road has been doing tremendous business this fall, without supplying sufficient trains to handle it effectively. As a result its west bound trains are sci dom on time, and many people are put to great annoyance and inconven- ience It seems strange that road with reputation for enterprise like the Santa Fe Pacific should not be alert to the necessity of providing more rolling stock to meet the in creased demands in both passenger and freight traffic. We hope that the existing disagreeable conditions will soon be improved.

WHIPPI4E SHOULD BE RETAINED.

It is to be hoped that the report of General Otis to the war depart ment regarding Fort Whipple will be favorable to the retention of that post. A military station in northern Arizona is undoubtedly required, and there is no more advantag sous 1cca- ton for it than Prescott. In the event of trouble with the tribes on reserva- tions in northern or central Arizona, or of a big railroad strike such as that of 1894, Tihe presence of troops at Whipple would, as in times past, be regions affected. The policy of con- centration begun by the war depart memt several years ago should not, in our opinion, be applied to Arizona. While this is a law abiding territory, there still are conditions existing here that make the maintenance of an army post at a central point like Pres colt highly desirable Up to this time the secretary of war has recog- nized the importance of retaining Whipple. General Miles, for some reason, favors it's abandonm We should be slow to believe the state ment that is going the rounds that General Miles,s attitude is due to dhe affection of the people of Prescott and vicinity for General Crook Gareral Crook was stationed a long time at Whipple when life in the ter 1itory was not as safe as now, and it was but natural for the people who recognized his ability as an Indian fighter to become deeply attached to him. We cannot accept the statement that General Miles IS moved by resentment toward the peo- pie of Prescott to advocate the aban- donment of Whipple. We renew the suggestion we made months ago, when the subject was under discus sion, that the citizens of Prescott or ganize in the interest of the contin- uance of the post. Much has been done already by MT. F. M. Murphy of Prescott to keep the troops at Whip ple- IA concerted movement by those directly interested ought to be effect i've just at this time.

The physicians are unable to determine the exact na- ture of the malady. Victims are at tackled by severe pains in the stom- ach, and are violently nauseated It has been attributed to water, but in- quiry proves that families which use only ciStern water are affected The first appearance of the diorder was on Saturday night. Many were taken i'll in church on Sunday. Not until yes- terday was it cc3sidered epidemic. Thus far the disorder has not appear ed in the hospital, the children's home, the old ladies home or the county prison.
