msnent to lie Legal.

BISMARCK. Nov. 2s.-The state SUI
preme court decision inst handed down
in Graham vs.. Graham strikes another
hard blow at the divorce Industry. II
holds that residence in the state mus,

intention to stay to give the litigant the
benefit of the state law.
Those who come to the state for the
express purpose of securing divorce &c
not acquire residence.
While the last Legislature increased
the period Of residence requisite from
80 days to a year. this decision will
affect the status of many divorces
granted by lower courts prior to the
going into effect of the new law.
