$4,000 for Damaged Affections.
Suit of w. Il. Davis against Rev. g. w.
snnborn In the ChIttenden County
Court---Mrs. DAVIES Affections Al
legged to Have Been AIIenated

Suit Of w. Il. Davis against Rev. g. w.
sanborn In the Chittenden County
COurt---Mrs. Davis's Affections Al
legged TO Have Been AIIenated.
A suit for $4,000 damages has been on
trial in the Chittenden county court this
week, brought by w. f.. Davis against Rev.
G. w. Sanborn, Baptist clergyman, for
alternating the affections of Diviss wife
Sanborn is about 25, and was educated at
the Moody school in Concord.
The evidence of the plaintiff tended to
show that he and Mrs. Davis we're mar
ried in 1892 and that they lived happily on
farm at West Bolton. In May, ] ,96,
Rev. Mr.. Sanborn came to West Bolton to
hold revival services, at which Mrs Davis
played the organ and sang. Sanborn
came from Underhill later, and boarded
with family named Jones at West Bolton
Mrs. Davis wished to take the minister as
a boarder but NJ Davis objected. She
then left her husbands home and went to
the house of the Jones family to live with
Sanborn.
Inc defence claimed that Mr.. and Mrs.
Davis had not lived happily toge her, that
on one or two occasions Mrs. Davis had
left her husband, and that she naturally
went to live with the Jones family, Mrs.
Jones being her sister It was also claimed
that she had worked out to support her hus-
band, and that Davis had disgusted her by
his attentions TO other women. Sanborn
was disni Q / from his pastora:e at Under
hull largely because he did not attend dc
nation party given for his benefit.
Evidence was introduced showing that
Sanborn nad said that Davis and his wife
were unequally mated. and that he should
stay at Jones's house with that woman"
as long as he wished, regardless of what
people might say. When questioned about
his relations with Mrs Davis, Sanborn said
repeatedly: 81 am in the right and the
Lord is leading me-"
The plaintiff testified in his own behalf
saying that he had repeatedly demonstrated
with his wife for going with her pastor,
but instead of desisting she grew cold and
less affectionate toward him, even refusing
him the once accustomed kiss which she
gave him with great frequency. Il am
not much of a hand at kissing" said she on
one occasion, "and don't want you to
kiss me any more"
On cross-examination the plaintiff de-
MED ever riding out with Annie Lombard,
or that he ever told Mrs Davis he had en-
joyed her society, and had Rugged and
kissed her.
Mary A Hosford testified to having
heard Rev. Mr.. Sanborn speak of Mrs
Davis as my dear" and to having seen
him assist her into a carriage.
AT the close of Wednesdays session the
plaintiff rested his case, his counsel asking
the court to direct verdict for tn defend
ant. Judge Taft took the matter under
advisement.

THE NEWS IN BRIEF,
Other Gold Strikes
In The Wyoming Fields which Are OF
Wide Extent and Unusual RIchness

In The Wyoming Fields which Are Of
wide Extent and Unusual Richness.
In sinking a prospect hole on a claim ten
miles west of the recent rich discoveries
along Grand Encampment river in VIZ,
ming, two-foot lead of white quartz was
encountered at depth of ten feet The
ROCKS appeared to be studded with FREQ
gold. Returns have Just been received
from two samples of tn, rock sent 70 Den.
yer for assay. The first gave $1744 in GOLD
per ton and the second $3.50. The new
discovery, although situated in the Grand
bncampment mining district proper. is a
locality that has been prospected but little
IL proves the wide extent of the new camn
and the opportunity for intelligent pros-
pectlng. The late find has caused a great
rush to that region.
Another rich prospect has been found in
Pnrgatory Gulch, a tributary of Grand
Encampment river, near the spot where
the piece of float assaying S35i2 per ton
was picked up few weeks ago. A pros
pector in the employ of the Murphy &
Ready camp has just uncovered a 25-foot
vein of ore lying between wel-de6ned
granite walls. An average sample taken
from the surface assays 10 per cent copper
and $4144 in gold per ton. The ore is a
honeycomb white quartz, heavily copper
stained, and carries considerable white
iron. Considering the width of the vein
and the great amount of ore that can be
taken from the surface, this is believed TO
be one of the richest strikes ever made in
any mining camp in the West, not except-
ing The great Independence mine in the
Cripple Creek district of Colorado

District Attorney Senter DIsgusted with
the Chinese Law.

United States District Attorney John H
Senter of Montpelier, who was expected at
Rutland Friday, to take up the cases of
10 Cinnamon under arrest for securing H.
legal admission to the country, has refused
to come, thus leaving the Chinese in Jail
for an indefinite period Mr.. Senter de.
clares that he is disguised with the methods
which permit the immigrants to evade the
law. A short time ago the treasury de-
partment issued an order forbidding Chi
nese to cross the Canadian boundary line on
trains entering Vermont. This order is
easily evaded by the immigrants, who
leave the cars at the last station previous
to reaching the frontier, and walk into
Richford, four miles. Then they are ar
rested and brought to Burlington which
brings them 80 miles nearer their destina-
ton at the expense of the United States
for transportation and board.
