MRS. LEONARD SAYS SHE WAS
BADLY TREATED BY HUSBAND

Mary Leonard began an action against
John Leonard for divorce in the district
court today. and if only PARTON of
the allegations she sets forth as rea-
son for desiring legal separation are
true she has been Il badly abused woman.
One of the things of which she COM
plains is alleged ill-treatment at the
hands OF the defendant, the claim being
made that on February % of this year
he fired four shots from a revolver at
Ter. beat her on the head and about the
body with his clenched fist and COM
PEELED her to remain out of doors all

his fits of drunkenness has called her
filthy names and repeatedly beaten her:
that outside of the shooting incident he,
on March 8 of :his year. struck her on
the head with a large porcelain teapot,
cutting her scalp badly and backing
one of her eyes: that he then threw her
down. seized her by the body and at

would have succeeded in carrying out
his design had it not been for the inter-

The glad announcement has been made

100000. The announcement comes we'll
authenticated that the movement is
backed by capital of w. A. Clark, who
has long entertained the idea that 4
mill for Missoula would be most profit
able enterprise. Plans prepared by
James Pye, the mill builder of Minnc-

that the affair will be a large one. 1t is
announced by H. w. Mclaughlin, Mr..

JOURNAL NOT SIGNED
Results in Complicated Condition of
Affairs in Legislation.

The sudden death of Speaker Corbett
has brought about complicated condi-
ton of affairs in Legislation, and there
are many attorneys who believe that all
laws passed by the recent legislature will
be rendered imperative. The cause of
the confu: ion and speculation on the part
of the persons most interested is due to
the fact that Speaker Corbett failed to
sign the house journal, as required by
law.
Secretary of State George NJ Hays and
State Auditor ]. H. Calderhead came
over from Helena yesterday and hurried
to the house of Hon. James w. Forbis,
where Mr.. Corbett lay i'll. hoping that he
would be able to affiX his signature to
the record for the last two days of the
session, but Drs. Campbell and Renick,
the attending physicians, would not per-
NIT the patient to be disturbed. So the
ing train.
While the law requires the signature Of
the speaker, it is believed by leading
membe' of the bar that the signature Of
EpeakoA pro tenn Baker will answer just
as we'll from a legal standpoint The
grocers are the ones who hope otherwise
the most fervently, as their liquor license
was increased by the Kigallon bill to ST.
OCO a year. A we'll known grocer of this
city stated today that the grocers of
Butte would doubtless take advantage of
the technicality and endeavor to have
the bill declared nudity.

Rockhill Doing Els Best to Keep De-
mands Of Powers Within the
Bounds of Reason.

WASHINGTON, March 1+.-Our govern
h,ent has not Vet been able 20 obtain
anythinw like an official statement or
the contents of the alleged agreement
between Russia and China respecting
the protectora,e over Manchurla. Ii II
were not for the information whlch
comes to it unottcially. which is known
to be reliable. the state department.
would not be able to affirm even the
existence of the pact So. in TINS state
of official ignorance. it has not been
possible to go very far in the direction
of protesting against Russa's course.
The state department has from the be-
ginning sought to discourage any kind
of secret arrangement touching CHINA,
SO that the Russian agreement. regard
less of it's details. would still be objec-
tiona BILE from this point of view.
The opposition to the Russian move
has not crystalized up 10 this moment,
and 1t is felt that there is every pros
pect of a contamination Of the agree
ment between Russia and China, unless
the other powers who now hang unde-
cided speedily come to a determination
NO oppose it. In view of this impending
crisis the officials here would regard
as of secondary Importance the nego-
mites and for the punishment. We're it
not for the belief that there is great
danger by undue insistence by the min
listers at Pekin on the collection of i'm
possible indemnity and the continuance
of punitive measures. the United States
government will be obliged in Difference
to public sentiment here to maintain
an attitude Of exact neutrality and
withhold any assistance that might
otherwise be reasonably requested. in
the greater purpose of checking the
contamination of an agreement whic'
is almost certain to result in the parti-
ton of China. So as already stated
Special Commissioner Rockhll is act
Ing under the instructions Of the de-
partment. doing his best to keep the
demand of the ministers within tho
bounds of the ability of the Chinese gov.
eminent to meet. thereby following the
consistent policy of the department,
laid down as far back as last summer.
