The object of this suit is to procure tli-
vorce CincutO Tiotr1mOn6 by Rebecca A. Nc
Mimi, plaintiff. against Howard J. McMinn,
the defendant.
The amended bill states that on the 25th
day of May, 1896, the plaintiff was married to
the defendant at Garrett county, Maryland,
with whom she resided in said state and
county until sometime about the month of
February, 1899. That after said marriage
the defendant frequently beat the plaintiff
in a shameful manner with great cruelty
and brutality, and that his vicious conduct
became so intolerable that the plaintiff was
forced to leave his house and take safety and
refuge elsewhere, and was obliged to swear
out warrant for his arrest for her safety.
That at the March Term, 1899, of the Cir
cult Court for Garrett county, the defendant
under the name of David }. McMinn, (by
which name he was commonly known, was
indicted and convicted in two separate cases
for assaulting and beating the plaintiff.
her husband has always boon kind, affec-
tionate and above reproach, and that the
defendant has not contributed anything to
her support or her children for over five
years, and that he has declared his intention
of living with her no longer. and that there
is no possibility of retaining her husband
or their ever living together. That said
abandonment by said defendant of said
plaintiff was without just cause or reason
than three years, and the separation of the
parties beyond any reasonable expectation
of reconciliation. That there were two
children born to them from said marriage
to-wit: Grace Mabel and James William
seven and five years of age, respectively,
infants.
That the said defendant is a nonresident
of the State of Maryland.

Her New Language.

NHE possessed a mind discerning,
20 That was stored and crammed
with learning,
And her thoughts, forever burn
ing,
She could suitably express.
All her sentences were rounded,
And her words imposing sounded;
I was really quite astounded
AS l listened, 1 confess.
1t was rather an infliction,
All this verbal unrestriction,
But her elegance of diction.
Each precise and polished phrase,
And the beautiful selection
OF the words and their connection,
And her most correct infection
They were quite beyond all praise.
But l saw her very lately,
And she did not talk ornately;
All that language suave and stately
She no longer kept on tap.
She was saying: "Bessums diddumsl
Where de bad old pin got hiddums
In her muZZer's precious kiddums?"
To the baby in her lap.

OPERATIONS RESUMED
Anita Copper Company Again
 to the Front

Unless all signs fail something will be doing in the mining way in this section shortly. On Sunday Todd c. Woodwork, consulting en- gineer for the Anita Copper com pany, arrived here from Denver, bringing with him master black smith, machinist and carpenter.
 Some time since the NEWS pub lished an article setting forth the policy and plans of the company as outlined to us by Mir. Wood- worth, who had expected to return here several weeks ago to prosecute the work. At times unavoida ble delays will occur, as in the present case, but Mir. Woodwork informs us he is here this time to carry the plans through (he hopes) to suc- cessful termination.
 On Monday force of men were put to work removing the boilers, etc., from the old smelter building east of town, same to be shipped to Anita and used in connection with the new 6-drill Rand compressor, to arrive shortly, in the work of sinking double compartment shaft on the property.
 Mir. Woodwork stated that the water question would probably cause them some difficulty at pres ent, but he hopes to have every thing installed and be ready to be- gin sinking on the shaft by the middle of June, when a force oi men will be put on and the work of sinking rapidly pushed forward
 The country around Anita has been dormant for several years The Anita company seems to be the only one in that section which has the necessary energy to try and develop paying property, and we sincerely trust and heartily believe their efforts will be crowned with success.

BRIGHT ANGEL TRAIL
District Attorney to Bring Suit
 Against Cameron

Last Friday, says the Phoenix Republican, there was filed in the supreme court petition by Martin Buggeln of Coconino county for q writ of mandamus directing k. M. Doe, district attorney of Coconino county, to institute quo warranto proceedings against c. H. Mcclure, R. A. Ferguson and N. J. Cameron to appear and show by what au- thority they are collecting toll on what is known as the Bright Angel toll road, running from the top of the Grand Canyon into the Indian gardens.
 A similar petition was before the court at it's last meeting, but de- murrer to it was sustained. The petitioner was, however, granted permission to amend his petition or present new one. Itis alleged in the present petition that Me- Cure, Ferguson and Cameron are conducting this toll road without compliance with the law; that they have never filed a plat of the road as the law requires; that they have made no statement of their receipts to the proper authorities as the law i requires, and that they have not turned into the county treasurer of the county 2 per cent of the gross receipts.
 It is alleged that their right there rests upon the fact. that years ago a certificate and plat of the road was properly filed by some man who has passed out of existence and that the present occupants claim to be operating under right that descended from him to them.
 It was stipulated that the peti- tion should be submitted to Chief Justice Kent in chambers on May Is, and from that circumstance grew the impression that there would be meeting of the court on that date. The chief justice de- cided that he could not-act upon the petition alone. The petition was, therefore, argued yesterday by MT. Clotfelter for the petitioner and briefs were ordered filed within thirty days.

There was a good attendance, as shown above, and more real enjoy ment and poorer scores were gotten out of the shoot than for many a day. A new target, the Standard American, was instituted, showing a possible 100 points, with no count less than four, and it was surpris- ing how many shots went outside the four ring; also how the sights on nearly all of the rifles had been moved out of line, somehow. Some of the members present had not made a goose egg before in two years, but there were none Sunday who escaped at least one. However, everyone will be in better shape to- morrow, as they know now just what they are going up against and there may be better general av- craze.
 It is reported that plague ex- ists at Bisbee. Thirteen dead bodies are said to have been in the morgue one day last week, and during the past two weeks six deaths have been the daily average. The dis ease is attributed to the extreme changes in the temperature daily. The lungs congest and throat chokes up, death resulting in from 12 to 40 hours. People are terror stricken, and great number are fleeing the camp.
