SUPREME COURT DENIES
A WRIT OF CERTIORARI
Durand Divorce Case Passed Upon by
Highest Tribunal.

SPECIAL TO THE INTER MOUNTAIN.
Helena, Dec. Is.--The supreme court to-
day denied the application made yesterday
for writ of certiorari in the Durand di-

in which the court was asked to review
the action Of Judge Clancy in the Durand
divorce case.

died. Then his first wife came into court,
and asked that the court make an order
setting aside the judgment in the divorce
proceedings, because OF a clause in the
statute which says that if judgment is not
entered in six months it shall become void.
The order was granted
Then the second wife came into court
and asked that the order setting aside
the judgment in the first case be set aside,
and this was done. Then the supreme
court was asked to review the proceedings
of the lower court in setting aside the or

nal divorce case.
