John A. Elwell filed in court today an
answer to the suit for divorce brought
against him by Mercer D. Elwell on the
ale ged ground of cruelty, and in the
document makes some pretty warm ac-
cusa tons. Nov comes the defendant
erein, John A. Elwell,'' says he in the
first paragraph, and answering the COM
llaint of Mercer D. Glover, under the
assumed name of Mercer d. Elwell, ad-

mics that the plaintiff and defendant

and denies that the plaintiff has at any
time since said date demeaned himself
towards this defendant as a true and
fat ful wife or that she ever or at all
had or held the right to demean herself
as such towards the DEFENDANT
Continuing, the defendant denies that

complaint and made her sick and sore.
File says she is now and always has been
a healthy, robust woman, fully capable
of protecting herself against any and
all physical assaults. He admits that on
October 10, 1900, he left her abode and
has since lived separate and apart from
her, adding to this that he intends to
alv avs live apart from her. He denies,
how ever that ne left her in destitute
circumstances or without means of sub

in this county on which she is now resid-
ing and is fully able to earn her own
living. He admits he earns $3.50 per

SENATOR CLARK'S ALLEGED F|ANCEE
IS DAUGHTER OF PROMINENT FAMILY

Huron, Mr.. Laub called upon me and
evinced great interest in Clark's politi-
cal career in which he seemed to be we'll
posted. He appeared to be well acquaint-
ed with the members of Mr.. Clark's fam
lily and it seemed we'll known fact in
Huron that Miss Hattie was going to
marry Mr.. Clark This was understood in
all social circles in Huron and friends of
Miss Laub who previously resided in HUI
ron had been informed of the engage
ment.
There are four members to the Laub
family; Mr.. and Mrs. Laub, Miss Hattie
and a son. They have all been extensive
travellers during the past few years and
it is possible that Senator Clark met them
while they We're abroad. Miss Hattie is
probably % years of age and a most
charming brunette. There has been no
stint to her education and in Huron the
family has the same social and financial
standing that Senator Clark has here.
Mr.. Laub is republican but he takes lit
tile part in politics. He has one of the
5rarest libraries in the northwest and it
was my pleasure to see part Of it. He
spends much of his time in the library
and in the laboratory working out new i'll
ventions and his bank account is a prac-
teal demonstration of the value of his
ideas. He went to Huron in 1881 or
1882 and has made that city his home ever
since. although he has spent much of his
time in travel. My opinion is that Sen
ator Clark could not have secured finer
girl in the United States. In regard to
the part Miss Hattie has taken in politics

against the Boston 4 Montana Mining
company in the district court to-day to
quiet title to some veins of ore which
the plaintiffs allege have their apex with
in the lines of the Rarus and JohnstOwn
claims and which they further allege are
being worked by the defendant company
through the Pennsylvania. The COM
plant was filed on the odd number,
which throws the suit into Judge Clan
cys department.; and the judge has Isl
sued an order restraining the Boston
& Montana from working the veins pend
ing the hearing of an order to show
cause why it should not be enjoined from
doing any more work while the suit is
awaiting final determination. An in
demnity bond of 81 900 signed by F. Au-
gustus Heinze and NJ. w. Brown has been
filed.
The suit is based upon an affidavit
made by j. H. Trerise, in which the lat
ter alleges that as a mining engineer
he is acquainted with the ground in ques-
ton and that the defendant is mining
it through the avenues mentioned in
