II Mrs. Claude Duyall is not a con-

vantage of the opportunities which
her charms and natural progressive
ness have gained for her. She start
ed her matrimonial career by mar
rying a Mr.. Bohm. The date of her
divorce from him is not known. but
il was some time before April, 1898,
as in that month and year she took
the solemn vow to love, cherish and
obey Columbus Regli, a well known
rancher of Beaver creek The spirit
of matrimonial felicity soon got tired

demurrer to the complaint, not con
testing the case. The decree was en-
tered September 2s, 1900.
For a month and a day did the late
Mrs. Regli wear the weeds OF grass
widowhood. Weary of attempting to
combat the battles of life alone. she
was married to George Ming. OF Gilt
Edge, October 20, 1900. Once more
she found married life lacking In
some of the essentials of unalloyed
bliss. II will be remembered that
about a year ago her husband, George
Ming, made desperate by her crueI
treatment, attempted to commit sui
eide. A little incident in connection
with his attempt at self-destruction
has been related. The gossip runs
that George presented himself to his
wife and said that he was weary OF
life's burdens and was going to shuttle
of. With an equinimity characters
tic of a person who had gone through
many exciting scenes. Mrs. Ming re
piled:

hospital in this city Tor several days

Georges recovery, however, made nee
essary another proceeding in the dis
trict court, having for its object the
severance of the bonds of matrimony
which were already becoming consid
erably frayed. On July 9Th OF this
year the muchly married lady was
given legal release from her third hus
band. But she was not discouraged
and was once more willing to try heI
hand at the helm of a matrimonial
craft.
Neither was Claude Duvall discour

the license to marry the oft widowed
woman of his choice. He will per
