That the course of true love sometimes
needs fixing is proposition that ought
to be self evident to John Fllntham Jr.
He came, he didn't see her and he ran
up against "the worst OF it," 1t was in

pairs. OF course, it was all over Johnny's
domestic infelcity and it may result in
two or three brands of law suit Con-
lecture would indicate:
One. A prosecution for house breaking.
Two. A prosecution for assault and
battery, with attempt to do bodily injury.
Three. Forcible entry and detainer.
Four Alternating a wife's affections.
Five. Divorce.
Six. Any old thing.
1t was in the afternoon of the Fourth
that Flintham went TO the Chautauqua
grounds in the hope of seeing his wife.
who is daughter of the relict Of the late

banker, but, being disappointed in this,
he sough, for her at the homes OF relatives
and friends. He came from Denver to

no, apparent. Believing that his wife
has been induced by her mother to de-
sert him, he sought the home of his
mother.in-law and claims he rang the
bell, Later he knocked at a side door
| and. seeing, as he asserts, that Mrs.
Cheney was in and receiving no reply to
his calls to her, he deliberately walked
through a screen door and stood in the
presence of his mother in.lsw. The lat

not. and the he grabbed her hands.
Mrs. Cheney screamed to the servant,
and then her undutiful son.in-law pulled
her out into the front yard, all the time
demanding the whereabouts OF his wife.
His only explanation OF this conduct is
he had come to speak to her. He wanted
her and wanted her badly, notwithstand-
ing she had written TO him TO the effect
that her ardor for him had somewhat en-.

Flintham went away. At night he re.

first told friends of his purpose and that
he didn't care what they did with him or

in work at Denver, Cripple Creek and
on the road Tor an oil company. At
present, he is with Arthur c. Page, stock
broker OF Denver, on salary. Flintham
says he can support his wife as she
should be. and this is denied on the other
side Of the counter.
THE CHENEY STATEMENT.
The statement of the case by Charles
Cheney, brother of Mrs. Flntham, a
statement backed in part by documents,
in part by corroboi ative evidence and in
part by Flintham's admissions is not very
favorable to the latter's cause. Mr..
Cheney is very reluctant to have the fair
name OF the family dragged in the dus,
and through no fault of its own. but feels
