SHE NAMES OTHER
WOMEN

Lucille Bignell has placed her hus-
band, Robert w. Bignell, in an I'M
savory light in her proceedings insti-
tuted this morning in the superior
court for divorce. Statutory grounds
are alleged on which the divorce is
sought.
Shortly after their marriage Mrs.
Bignell claims that her husband be-
came infatuated with Bessie Connors
at Sprague and there violated his mar
riage vows. He afterwards lived with
the woman as his wife. But, she
claims, he soon tired of this woman
and transferred his attentions to a
Lettie Moore, with whom he is now
living at Culdesac, Idaho.
An attempt was made to have the
case heard this morning but as it was
not on the docket for the day, Judge
KEENAN, refused to hear it at this time.
