Wichita. Kas., Feb. 4-George Stew
ems, whose saloon was wrecked at An
thony Wednesday by Mrs. Sheriff's cru
saders, arrived here today to take treat
ment from a specialist for conn lications
that have grown out of the wounds he
received in then raid. He absolutely re-
plans, and directs inql1irers to his at
tOrney. Stevens, it is thought, will not
only sue for property damages, but will
also bring suit for personal. Mrs.
Sheriff, who led the raid, is wealthy, and
a. judgment against her for anything less

MRS. LEASE MAY NOT COME
May Prefer to Give Up Divorce
Rather Than Leave New York.

Wichita, Feb Att is doubtful now
If Mrs. Mary E. Lease will come from
New York to give testimony in support
of the charges against her husband in
Dale has stated very positively that he
will not grant the divorce without her
personal testimony, and it is not inn
probable that the entire proceedings
may be dropped. Even if Mrs. Lease
does come here to testify there is reason
to think it win not amount to more than
a formality, as Judge Dale knows enough
about the character OF Mrs. Leases hus-
band to warrant a close scrutiny of the
evidence upon which the charges are
based.
