Mrs. Belcher Got a Dl-
vorce From Husband.
LATTER MARRIED AGAIN.
Now VIII. No. Has Attacked
Validity OF Her Own Decree.
NOT PAID AMOUNT PROMISED.

New York, Aug. 1S.-Edna Wallace
Belcher having obtained what is said to
be a collusive divorce in the court of
North Dakota from her husband, Henry
w. Belcher, wealthy steel importer,
who, on The strength of 1t, married
again, now seeks to have 1t set aside
in this state in an action which she has
brought for an absolute divorce from
him because of his second marriage.
The case>is unique in many respects.
especially in the fact that the party
obtaining the Western divorce now
seeks to have IL declared invalid.
Mrs. Belchers marriage took place In
this city on January last. Within a
very brief period after the wedding she
somewhat reluctantly called upon
Messrs. Howe & Hummel to ask their
advice about getting divorce. but the
only complaint she had to make against
her husband was that he had an OBJ
noxious breath. Strange as IL may seem,
she had not made this discovery during
his short courtship.
She was told that such a cause was
no ground for a divorce. She subse-
quently learned that her husband was
willing that she should get divorce,
and even promised TO furnish her with
evidence. He, II Is said. suggested that
she should go to Western state, and
said that he would give her s250o as
soon as she succeeded. Mrs. Belcher
went TO North Dakota early in the year,
gained a residence there, sued her hus-
band for divorce on the ground OF
cruelty and obtained her decree on
April Is. Her husband appeared I'm the
action by counsel and was represented
on the trial Thirty days time Is allow
ed to appeal in cases OF this character,
and within three days thereafter-May
rs last-Mr. Belcher. thinking no fur-
ther trouble would arise. went TO Cum
berland county. Maryland. and was
married TO Emily Gertrude Holmes.
Mrs. Belcher No. says she was not
paid the full $2500 that her husband
agreed TO pay her when she obtained
the divorce. and to add to this, as soon
as she returned to this city she receiv-
ed a notice of his wedding to Miss
Holmes. She wanted revenge OF some
kind, and after consultation With a. III.
Hummel he advised her that the West
ern divorce was n collusive one and
could not stand here, and the best thing
| she could do was TO bring an action
| for divorce against Mr. Belcher I'm the
| Supreme Court here. and I'm that way
attack the validity OF the North Da-
kota divorce.
Mr.. Belcher. In his answer. sets M
the decree OF the court Of North Dako-
| ta, and states that that court acquired
| Jurisdiction over his wife and himself
| and he was therefore free to marry
/ again.

Hines Dying After a Mad
Whirl of Pleasure.
LEFT IMMENSE FORTUNE.
He Proceeded 10 Squander II With
His Partner Hicks.
TIE LATTER's END CAME FIRST.

Wakefield. Neb.. Aug. 1S.-Appllca-
tion has been made in the District
Court of this Dixon) county for the
B. Hines, now on his deathbed here as
result Of three years spree. in the
course of which he dissipated q fortune
OF nearly ss.OO0.00O.
Until the spring of 1895 Hines was
cowboy in Cunning county. In the
summer OF 1894 Israel Hines died at
Butte. Mont. leaving an estate worth
80. .000.0 900. At first 1t was thought he
had no surviving relatives. but after
nearly years search the admins
traitor of his estate discovered that
Leslie B. Hines, of Cunning county,
Neb.. was his cousin and sole heir.
Leslie had never heard Of his wealthy
cousin before, but he had no difficulty
In proving his relationship, and the
property passed at once into the young
mans hands.
Illness first act was to present his
"side partner" Bob Hicks. with $500
900. Then the two went on what was,
perhaps. the grandest celebration that
the West has ever known. Nothing
was too good for them. Their first visit
was to Chadron, Neb., where they lit
orally threw their money about the
streets. Several gamblers made small
fortunes during their fortnights stay
I'm town. An entire hotel was chartered
for their accommodation. Champagne,
terrapin and pate de foie gras became
common articles of diet for the Ill
time in the history of the village. The
whole town was invited to the ban
quets, and for two weeks not one OF the
male population who could be induced
to drink drew q sober breath.
Then they hired a special car ana
took q party OF friends with them 10
Deadwood. There the program was re-
peated. After another week or two the
private car carried them to the Pacinc
coast. Royalty never lived more sumpt-
uously. Hicks's stake was soon ex-
hausted, and Hines gave him 100000
more. At San Francisco they were the
refgning sensation for several nPntns'
A trim through Mexico followed
On their way back Hicks died AT
Hermosillo, and Hines went his way
alone. He visited the Sandwich Islands.
Japan and Australia, returned TO san
Francisco early in the winter OF 1877,
lived gorgeously for a time. and then,
as his money began to run short and
his creditors to press him, ne returned
TO Cunning county.
His health failed soon after his ar
rival here He was completely broken
by his long debauch and his death Is
hourly expected.
OF his fortune probably not over $40.-
600 or $4,000 remains.

Farmer Hopkins UnpleaS-
ant Experience.
HIRED MAN sMOTB HIM.
Both Men Aroused at Midnight by
Noise In the Hen House.
A LIVELY BATTLE FOLLOWED.

A farmer named Hopkins who resides
In the wilds of Scituate, was In
Natick this morning purchasing sup
ply of, court plaster, arnica, etc., for the
purpose OF healing the wounds and
drawing the soreness from number of
bruises which he received through
misunderstanding and the overzealous-
ness of his "hired man." who took him
for hen thief last night. Hopkins also
had a load of vegetables which he
wished to sell. but the disposal of his
load seemed to be a secondary consider
alton to procuring something which
would bring relief to his bruised and
battered frame.
The misunderstanding occurred about
midnight last night, and the mauling
of his employer was entirely uninten-
tional on the part OF the hired man."
Hopkins was aroused just before mid
night by a noise in his hencoop. and
pulling on his trousers quietly slipped
out of the house to investigate. The
hired man." who sleeps In small out
building, was also awakened by the
noise. and arrning himself with a stout
club also started on tour OF investi-
CATION. The two men met at the corner
of the herhouse, and, taking his en-
ployer for a hen thief, the farm hand
hit him over the head with his club.
and in an instant the two men clinched,
and before the mistake was discovered
both were pretty badly used up.
Explanations followed, and while the
farmer is glad TO know that he has a
man on the place who guards his inter-
ests both night and day he thinks that
al times he's a little too ready with his
cudeei. am il will probably be some
time before either Of the men recover
their usual suppleness OF limb

WATrR STORAGE QUESTION
If Will be investigated by Fasteners
 Who arc Coming Here.

MT. Henry H. Man of New York,
 representing the stockholders Of the
 Hudson Reservoir company, will arrive | in Phoenix in a few days to look after 1 the interests of the stockholders of tha- company lie will no doubt remain i here to meet the other customers who
 will arrive in the city Saturday to az
 tend the sale of the Arizona canal. | Mir Morgan c. Buckley, ex-governor
 of Kentucky, Mr. Arthur B. Leech and
 Mir W. w Miller of New York will ar rive in Phoenix Saturday.
 | MT Leech is a member of the broker age firm of Parson, Leech & Co.,, of
 New York. and MT. Miller represents the bondholders of the Arizona Canal company.
 It is understood among the leading canal men of tha city that the visit of these gentlemen will be extended so as to enable them to make a compre- hensive investigation of the water storage question. MT. Miller, it is well
 known. believes that the success Os the Arizona canal depends largely upon
 storage reservoirs, and the gentlemen
 who will accompany him have shown considerable interest in the matter, and their visit is for the purpose of making a thorough investigation of the Hudson and other projects.
 Speaking of the Hudson Reservoir company, MT. Simms Ely said to a re- porter that the company is in excellent condition, and the storage proposition will be taken up in earnest in a short time. The magnitude of the project re- quiras long time for even the prelimi- nary steps, but when the work is once started it will oe pushed through rap idly.

 Mir J. C. Dobbins, a civil engineer of Phoenix who was engaged in survey ing the Tonto Basin site, says of the proposition: "The proposed dam will be 2O1 feet in width. which is the dis tance between the canyon walls at the point where the dam will be built The dam will give an average depth of water of eighty-seven feet. The water will be backed up Tonto Creek eight miles and up the Salt river nine miles. The greatest length Of the reservoir when filled with water will be eighteen miles and the greates- width three miles. It will have a s-Orage capacity Of 1000 GOO acre feet of water. The dis charge of the Salt river runs from two to six million acre feet of water every twelve months, the greatest discharge : being during the mon-hs of February, March and April.
 The catchnent basin, or the area Of country which would contribute to the reservoir, is 12.O00 square miles, into the White mountains, . where there is a great deal of rain, the i heaviest precipitation being thirtyfour inches a year. The site of the pre- posed reservoir is seventy miles above Phoenix on the Salt river. l consider it the best proposition in the >tarritory." i
