The inquiry the ladies grew excited and
communicated their nervousness to the
gentlemen. As a precaution against
canes and parasols being used in a
faction fight, a gendarme was sent
around to take them into his care. This
led to masculine protests and much
feminine cackle, but the gendarme in

The court then entered. Colonel Jou-

MARBLES A GIRL FOR SPITE.
Henry Holm Becomes Benedict Only
to Cheat Rival.

To thwart a rival in a love affair
Fred Holm, a prosperous mIkman. re-
siding at 4943 Indiana avenue, thought
out a novel plan for putting matrimony
to merely tactical use, not contem-
plated by the statutes. He married the
girl in the case and, establishing her
in a coy home, paid her mere formal
and social visits for many months, but
refused to live with her. Such was the
story of the wife, formerly Miss Lizzie
Herbold. as told yesterday in Judge
Balls court room, where she was an
applicant for Il divorce. One day she
said, her husband astounded her by tell
ing her that his sole purpose in marry
ing her was to prevent the other fell
low from getting her, His rival had
sweetheart by that time and MI. Hohn's
object had been gained.
THE other fellow win not have you
now and l don't want YOU" he is said
to have declared.
The little home was broken up. and
as Holm departed he told his wife she
could easily get a divorce after two
years on grounds of desertion, He thea
returned to his home and his wife went
to live with her parents at 4523 South
HalSted street
1t was in the Indian summer Of 1885
that Holm CHANGED to meet on a street
car bound down town the pretty stock
yards belle whom both himself and his
rival had been wooing persistently fJr
long time. Holm talked love to he" IN
whispers and was chagrined to learn
from her that his rival and personal
enemy had first place in the coveted
affections.
But he knew that the favored sutton
would not be in position to marry for
some time to come, and this fact he
made clear to the impressionable gill.
Her consent to an immediate marriage
with himself was then sought and won.
together the pair procured marriage
license at the county clerks office that
afternoon and rode out without delay
to the Garfield Boulevard Methodist
Episcopal church, where, in the pres
ence of witnesses, they We're married

Men Who Held Up Warm Springs Station
Not Yet Found

Not Yet Found.
Despite the efforts of the officers who
secured the Deer Lodge valley all night
long, no trace has been found of the
man or men who held up the Northern
Pacific station agent at Warm Springs
on Saturday night, securing s275 from
the station agent, l. S. Eldred The
blood hounds of the penitentiary were
to Warm Springs yesterday morn
ing and Unbiased The dogs, how
ever, are SO much out of training that
little could be done with them.
There is every reason to believe that
the robbers are still in the valley, as
every train has been thoroughly search
ed and officers are on the lookout every
where. Some have come to the conclus-
ion that the hold-up was committed by
men who live in the valley, and that as
soon as the robbery was over they re-
turned to their homes.
The officers are handicapped in that
they have been unable to obtain even a.
fair description of the robbers It de-
veloped yesterday that there is a great
divergence Of opinion about the APP
pearance of the robbers, and it is even
a question whether there were one or
two. The efforts of the officers have
not been relaxed in the least, and the
robbers will probably be caught before
they succeed in getting out of the val
ley

WIN We Throw Shoes.

The custom of throwing old shoes and
rice has prevailed for many years in
America, England and Scotland 1t came
from the Eastern nations, and was origi-
nally intended as a sign of relinauish-
ment OF the relatives of their authority
over the bride. An old Jewish custom
provided that brother of a childless man
had the first privilege of marrying the
widow. and until her brother-in-law re-
fused her she could not marry again. An
other authority maintains that the throw
ing of the shoe was a sham assault on the
groom, who was supposed to be carrying
off the bride.
