But She Posed as Man and Nearly Di-

Omaha, Oct. 23.-The exposure of
William j. Wallace, a woman mas
querading as a man, has brought to a
happy termination the divorce case of
Baker against Baker, on trial in the
county court of Harrisburg, Neb.
Mrs. Jeremy Baker introduced the pc
tition, asking separation on the ground
that her husbands condHct has been
harsh and cruel. In relN Mr. Baker
offered a counter petition in which he
accused his wife of lnfidelity, and
named William J. Wallace, letter
carrier, as correspondent.
Mrs. Baker says that this specifica-
ton contained the first mixing Of the
reason lying behind her husbands con
duct toward her. She at once appealed
to the letter carrier, who confessed her
sex, and a reunion of the estranged
couple followed. The revelation OF
Miss Wallace's sex has caused COM
motion in the county, where she has
been known as "Willie" and was
looked upon as a somewhat dissi-
pated young man.

Survivors of the Original Pioneers,
Event Celebrated With Dinner.
(From Tuesdays daily

An event of more than usual note
occurred in the Old French Homestead
in the town of Pleasant Prairie today,
when Mrs. Nancy French, one of the
original settlers of Kenosha county,
celebrated the ninety-first anniversary
of her birth. The event was made of
even greater historic interest on &C
count of the fact that the guests of
| honor at the dinner served to common
crate the day were Mrs. French and
Levant Stevens, the only two surviv-
ing members of the noble company of
pioneers who first landed on the shores
of the lake at Southport in the spring
of 1885.
| No two people in southern Wiscon-
sin have seen as much of the. history
and development of this part of the
State as have Mrs. French and Mr..
| Stevens. Both of them were down
east Yankees, and to their perseverance
was largely due the fact that settle
ment was made at this point Mr..
| Stevens and his family and Miss Nan
| cY Stevens were m I'm berS of the orig
| inal party of twenty-one who left New
| York in the fall of 1884, to settle in the
west. The trip was made Over1and
much of the way and when the party
reached Joliet, ILL.,, then the end of CIV
ilization, all the members of the party
with the exception of Mr.. and Mrs.
Stevens and Miss Stevens, gave up
the trip, but these three came on along

| Southport. They reached their place
of settlement in May, 1885, and settled
on a farm in the town of Pleasant
Prairie, and for the last sixty-six
years Mrs, French has lived on the old
| homestead.
Mrs. French Is still young and al
though she has more than lived the al
1oted four score years, she is as bright
and cheerful as a woman of sixty. The
birthday party was a jolly one and
was reunion of the French family.
All the members of the family, save
one son being present at the dinner.
| This afternoon Mrs. French and Mr..
Stevens had festival of "Reminiscences
recalling all the historic times of early
Southport.
Mrs. French comes of family noted
for the long life of its members. She
has two sisters living, one Mrs. Betsy
Fuller, of Vermont, who is now more
than ninety-three years old, and an
other, Mrs. Fannie Shof, of Berlin,
Wis, who has attained the advan ced

some more facts of the matter in Chi

Chicago relatives of the girl had heard
of the story of the assault or of the
girls disappearance. The Market

been connected with the assault has
been extinct for more than seven
years and for this reason it is thought
possible that the story is trumped up
