PROVISION FOR MRS. RYDER
Her Husbands Business Must Put Up
 S35 a Month.

Mary Hyder yesterday won the first advantage in her suit against her hus-
 band. John. CT Marriott Hyder, and his
 brother. Kahlil Hyder, better known
 by the name of Kelly Hyder All the parties to this action are Turks. The suit is one for maintenance and for a receiver for the firm of Hyder Bros. Of
 Tempe. The receivership was intended
 to prevent the defendants from dispos- ing of their stock of goods and leaving
 her in the lurch The husband some time ago went to San Francisco, and it was reported that he had disposed of his interest in the mercantile busi- ness to his brother. It was said that his brother had given him notes to the
 amount of $1.5OO. The plaintiff con tended that the deal was not made in
 good faith but for the purpose of head
 ing her off. In her complaint it was expressly stated that she did not want
 a divorce, although she alleged there
 was another woman in the affair; she wanted only to be provided for.
 The court granted that part of her prayer She was allowed the sum of
 S35 a month. She might have been awarded more, but she testified that
 she could earn S1O week herself. The court declined to appoint a receiver. for it appeared that one of the defen- dants was in charge of the business as a partner No satisfactory evidence was introduced in support of the con- tention of Khalil Hyder that he had acquired his brothers share of the busi- ness. On the other hand, several Turk
 ish letters were submitted They had been written from John Hyder to Kha- ii Hyder from San Francisco. and all
 Of them showed that the writer had made purchases for the firm there. They were also filled with advice and instructions as to the management of the business.
 There was also submitted an affidavit by Khalil Hyder in which it was sworn that the letters were not genuine and that the plaintiff had no letters which had passed between the brothers eX- cept some that she had stolen.
 All the letters had with great labor been translated into English. Tn all of them there was some reference to Mrs. Hyder, but she was never called by
 name She was always alluded to as her"
 She had at that time a living room in the rear of the store and John Hyder was desirous that she should be evicted, but he did not want any force used One of his letters advised that
 the stove pipe of her cook stove be
 taken down. That advice was repeated in the following letter and in several subsequent ones. It does not appear to have been acted upon by Kahlil Hydcr. In the last letter presented in evidence was the following nstruc- ton: Move her trunk and stovepipe and damn her.
 In his affidavit Kahlil Hyder denied all the allegations of the petition for the appointment of a receiver. He de-
 nied that Mrs Hyder had at any time acted as saleswoman for the firm; it was said that she could not read nor write in any language and knew neither the cost mark nor selling price of any article in the store. She had been for bidden to even try to sell anything. Now and then she made sale of candy or some simple article, and then the firm had the devils own time to get the money away from her. It was all
