An odd divorce case was heard at
the superior court. Friday afternoon.
in which the local attorneys present
We're very much amused on account
of its unqueness. 1t was the case
where q woman from one of the small
towns Of Kennebec county sought to
obtain q divorce from her husband to
whom she had been married for the
long time of 20 days. Her allegations
We're that the man had gross and con-
firmed habits Of intoXication and also
that he had not supported her She is
A. years of age while the man whom
she married 50 recently is 40 years. 1t
seems that the man has had a reputa-
ton as a drinking man and the wo-
man admitted to the judge she had
known il, yet she married him. The
judge said he thought she ought to try
the married life a little longer before
having a divorce granted and gave her
q good lecture. 1t was remarked by
the attorneys present that the man
had not had half a chance in 20 days
to prove he had gross and confirmed
habits of intoXication. as he would
have hardly had time for one good
spree. Neither had there been time for
non-support. for in 20 days a bride
could not have time to get hungry
even if the groom furnished nothing to

Cripple Creek. hut the town had been
built in the early days OF the camp and
was of pine timber for the most part
which burned like finder.
Efforts were made to stop the pro-
gress OF The flames by blowing up
buildings in their path by means OF
dynamite and all the prominent hills
have roared with the explosions. but
the effort was in vain. The fire burned

The scenes of the Cripple Creek fire
were duplicated. Hurrying before the
roaring flames went men, women aud
children, carrying what they could
snatch from the flames. racing for their
lives. The crash of buildings torn
asunder by dynamite and the crackle
of the flames as they consumed the dry
buildings, fastened their flight. and the

spectacle a special train was placed

was built in Victor in October, 1898.
