CHARGES SPECIFICALLY DENIED
Case That VIII Re Watched With
Great Interest in New York
and Washington.


| One of the most sensational suits ever
! brought here, and one that will create
! stir in New York and Washington
is that brought by Mrs. Mile Lanore
against Miss Grace Howard for the
| alienation of the affections of the for
mer's husband. Miss Howard Is the
daughter of Joe Howard, the distin-
| guished journalist.
Mrs. Manore claims $4,000 damages.
and in her complaint, which is on file
in the clerk of courts office here,
makes many serious charges against
Miss Howard. In July 1887, Miss How
ard established an Indian mission
school seventeen miles from here, on
the Crow Creek and Winnebago reser-
walton. After the first two years, the
school, which had been named Grace
mission, in honor of Miss Howard, was
| transformed into q government con-
tract school. In the charging and ex-
banding of the schools influence, she
always received every encouragement
from the officials Of the Indian bureau
IN Washington, and from the agency
authorities. Her contract with the
government did not expire until June
Of this year, but, at the solicitation Of
friends, she decided early in the pres
ent year to withdraw from the man
agement of the school. The bitter
fight Waged in congress- against con-
tract schools had considerable influence
in her decision. She informed the In
dian office that if the government was
willing to buy her school she was will
ing to sell. Special Agent Slater, Of
the Indian department, was sent to
investigate, and, as the result of his
report, the government paid Miss How
ard a satisfactory price for her inter-
est in the school. Shortly after Miss
Howard transferred the school to the
government she purchased a desirable
cattle ranch west of here on the White
river, and embarked in the stock bust
ness.
In her complaint Mrs. Manore states
that from the time of her marriage to
Manore in February, 1889, up to the
year 1896, her husband was a good pro-
wider and supplied her with all the
necessaries and comforts of life; that
since the month of November, 1894 she
and her husband were employed by
Miss Howard at Grace mission, and
resided there until July, 1896, when she
left, but Manore continued to reside
there. The plaintiff alleges that dur
ing the year 1896, prior to the month of
July, she became aware of a growing
intimacy between her husband and
Miss Howard, and determined to ascer-
tain the true status of affairs. About
the time she discovered the alleged in
timacy she noted a marked change in
the conduct Of her husband toward
her; he became inattentive and cruel,
and spent but little of his time in her
company; that. on the contrary, he
passed most of his unoccupied time
with the defendant, who is accused
of having sought his company, COM
partnership and association. Miss How
ard, it is alleged, frequently furnished
a vehicle and team, and she and Ma
more took long drives unaccompanied
by any third person, returning often
late at night. Defendant is accused
of having Manore go to her room and
stay for hours at a time, with the doors
closed and locked; that during the
month Of July, 1896, plaintiff was alb
sent from Grace mission, and during
that time it is charged the defendant
had plaintiffs husband occupy a room
next to hers, the rooms being con-
nected by a door. The couple are
charged with maintaining unlawful re-
latiOns during an extended period, sew
eral specific instances being mention
ed. They are now alleged to be living
together in open defiance Of law
Plaintiff says that the conduct of the
defendant has broken both her health
and spirits; that defendant, by her con-
duct, has not only deprived plaintiff
of her husbands affection and society,
bands protection and support, ard
that she is now, in consequence of de-
PENDANTS action, thrown upon the
She therefore asks that she be award
ed a judgment against Miss Howard
for the sum of $1,000.
C. c. Morrow and John A. Stroube,
attorneys for the defendant, have just
filed Miss Towards answer to the
plaintiffs complaint. She says that In
the month of November, 1894, she en-
ployed the plaintiff and her husband
to do certain work and labor in con-
nection with the conduct and manage
ment of the Indian school, then under
her charge, and that both remained
left. She denies any familiarity with

with her, but that, on the other hand,
he never spent any more time in her
company than any other employee at
Grace Mission, or any more time than
was absolutely necessary In order to
carry on the business of the Indian
school Defendant deniea that cha
