Now Seeks Divorce.

Butte. Mont, 10.-Mrs. Grace Ivey, who
came from Denver some time ago, today
brought an action in the district court for
the annulment of her marriage to Edwin

story concerning her marriage, which, she
said, she was forced into while she was
another husband living in Colorado. The
young woman has so far successfully con-
cealed her other name. She was formerly
an actress and married a man in Denver
with whom she disagreed, and lett MIN,
coming to Butte last July.
She visited friends on a ranch near Elk
horn, Mont, and there met stage driver
Edwin Ivey who drives a stage between
Helena and Elkhorn. He became infatu-
ated with her and wanted her to marry
him. She refused and told him she was
already married. He opened and read let
tiers she received from her husband, and
knew that she was telling him the truth,
but still he insisted that she should marry
him She claims that her friends also
urged her to do 50, but she still refused.
She was guarded and prevented from
making her escape.
One day, July 80, Ivey came to the house
with a marriage license and a preacher.
and told the young woman to prepare for
the marriage She went through the Ger
emory and then tainted and remained IN
conscious for a day. When she recovered
she made her escape and came to Butte.
She says she never lived with Ivey as his
wife.
