A BRIDE AND A SUIT
Marriage was Contingent on
Success of Litigation,
and There is no
Appeal.

Millionaire w. C. Greene, owner OF
the famous Cobre Grande copper
mines, of Sonora, has just been mar
ried at Tucson, Arizona, to young
girl who formerly set type on one of
the papers there.
Greene is well known in Ell Paso and
west Texas where he appeared last
year as a litigant in the famous suit
for the mining property, which for
long time claimed the attention OF the
courts of Arizona, Mexico and west
Texas.
Greene won his suit and subsequent
~ly won a bride. She was not child OF
wealth but a poor typesetter and her
education had been neglected. He will
see to it that she is given every ad-
vantage and after a brief honeymoon
will place her in the New York con-
. .servatory of music.
The story of Greene's little romance
is told as follows: For three years
Greene fought for possession of his
rich copper mines in Sonora, stand
ing off invasion of armed men with
his army of miners, and living for days
expecting any moment to have the
camp attacked.
During the siege Miss Marie Proctor.
daughter of famous Pete Kitchen, the
Indian fighter, and adopted daughter
of Frank Proctor who took her to his
.Jnome when a mere child, was living
at the camp with her parents. She is
a beautiful girl, possessing the charm
of girls of Spanish blood, and accom-
plished as a musician
Greene fell in love with her, and the
day for their marriage was to be when
litigation ended and Greene was
granted full possession of the mime.
Greene won in the highest courts OF
. Mexico and Arizona, and Monday in
Phoenix the nuptial knot was tied.
Mrs Greene will enter the conser-
vatory of music in New York, where
her husband is frequently called by
his immense mining interests.
Greene's mines are located at La
Cananea, Sonora, Mexico, thirty miles
from the Arizona line. and are reputed
to be worth So, 900 900. His bride pre-
vious to going to La Cananea was
compositor on an evening paper In
Tucson, taking up this work when her
adopted father met financial reverses
in the cattle business.

The ol6 Fitzgerald smelter was de-

kept the heat from running some of the

HIS HONOR
Cannot be
Bought for
100000

LONDON, Feb. 21-Quite a sensa-
when Major Atherton, second in COM
mand of the Twelfth lancers, the Prince
of Wales own. now in South Africa
filed suit for divorce against his wife
Mabel Atherton, naming the Duke OF
Westminster. whose brilliant marriage
occurred last week, as the correspond
ent.
There have been mutterings of this
social earthquake for some time. but
not until today did it materialize. Ev-
cry effort has been made by the duke
and his friends to compromise the mat
ter and prevent an open scandal. but
they have failed.
Major Atherton is known to have re-
fused a check of 100000. and King
Edward himself did all that he could
to keep the matter quiet.
Major Atherton belongs to the crack
regiment of the British army, sue
ceeding to it's command when it's late
colonel, the Earl of Tarlie, was killed
in a Boer battle last June.
Mrs. Atherton is a very beautiful
woman. and there is very little doubt
of her intimacy with the duke.
The major is beloved by his asso-
ciates and enlisted men,
The case cannot be tried until the
autumn.
