FISHING
COST CROSS
HIS WIFE

New York. Aug. is.-Folowing the an
nouncement OF several weeks ago that
Mr. and Mrs. stephen Cross. wealthy
residents OF Westchester. had separated
and that Mr.. Cross. who has a hobby
for fishing and owns a houseboat, had
been left in sole possession of the big
mansion in which they have for some
years lived II was learned Sunday that
Mrs. Cross has begun an action In the
supreme court OF this county for a limited
divorce.
As originally planned Lawyer George
Robinson, of % Nassau street, attorney
for Mrs. Cross. was to have applied TO
Justice Davis. OF the supreme court yes
terday morning. for alimony and ooun-
sci fee.
Counsel for Mr.. Cross. who Is the
nephew and heir Of Mitchell Valentine. an
aged resident of westchester. whose for
tune is estimated at between Sis. .Ooo, 900
and So, ,OO0. 900, has. however. obtained an
adjournment until Aug. IS, when Mr..
Cross must fle his answer.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Cross separated n
month ago the suggestion was made that
Mr. Cross love OF angling had cost him
a wife. II was said that Mr.. Cross had
just completed a houseboat. and that IL
was awaiting sailing orders
Comment was made of the well-known
devotion OF Stephen Cross TO the art 90
Isaac Walton. and IL was suggested that
his domestic troubles, were attributable
to the belief OF Mrs. Cross that her hus-
band devoted far too much time TO an
Cling and too little time 10 her.
In Mrs Cross complaint she says she
was married I'm Brooklyn on Feb. 2, 1856
and that there are no children OF this
marriage now living The daughter died
year and half ago and since that time
the relations OF Mr.. and Mrs. Cross ap-
pear 10 have been somewhat strained
Mrs Cross declares that her husband
has treated her with cruelty and SAYS I'm
her complaint; "In the early part OF June
he tried 10 strangle me and with HE
hands almost choked me- He then beat
and kicked me and told me ne would
kill me. and he would have succeeded
had not got away from him"
Mrs Cross also alleges that on a
previous occasion her husband threatened
to shoot her She continues in her AMI
dsvit:
"On the Path day Of June, 1904 I'm par
ticular. he came home al o'clock IN

and assaulted me, attempting to strangle
me; and II was only my extraordinary
exertions, increased by my sense OF dan
ger. that saved me from his iron grasp.

without endangering my health and ever.

Mrs. Cross then refers 10 her husband 8

THE SHEEP.

The following lines were written and
read by Mrs c. f. Weeden at a concert
given by Rhode Island people recently at
and the personal references were very
much appreciated by the large number
present:
once upon a time on a summers day.
Some sheep went 10 the mountains to
stay,
And there the shepherd did let them feed.
While he tried 10 supply their every need.
Up Mt. Agassiz some sheep did climb,
And got there In very short time;
While the tired ones OF the little flock.
Sat down TO rest on big old rock.
The shepherd took them 10 Sugar Hir
Where one got sick and needed pill:
But some drops were given this Bo Peep,
who soon was as well as any sheep.
When the gentle rain began 20 fall
Every sheep was IN the Look or stall;
soon after the sun began to shine,
Home they went with their leader In line
The next day they were packed In a car.
And sent 10 Mt Washington so far.
To view the presidents on this climb.
And told to be back at supper time.
But one poor lamb was sick and couldn't
so,
So her mate had 10 feed her inst so.
And he made her feel 80 we'll and bright
That with the others she ate that night.
A coon did come and sing 10 these sheep
But they thought his singing very cheap.
And 80 many dfd laugh and bleat,
He very soon made grand retreat.
Some Of these sheep went into the wood
To browse on balsam and berries good
But came very near losing their way,
SO back 10 the fold they went TO stay.
one sheep was In bed with sharp pain.
And his mate ala not dose him In vain:
But we all felt that our Staple was lost
And we wished him back at any cost,
away 10 the F7ume these sheep did ride.
And there for a little while abide:
But one must fall in and take a bath.
Which made the others roar and laugh.
Some others got their pretty shoes wet.
But were just as happy. you can bet.
AS others that sat on the fat rock.
And were fed by the head OF the flock.
One wee lamb got her fleece wet and
sighed
But put II In the sun where II dried
And soon this little one. we adore
Was happy and gamboling once more.
One spry sheep could climb tree and
bark.
But he got lost before II was dark.
And the other sheep did hunt and bleat.
TIL he came back TO his wagon seat
These dirty sheep that so far did roam.
Were very glad 10 get TO their home.
To clean neeees in their roomy stall,
And see again dear shepherd Hall.
One sheep stayed at home 70 sleep spell
And she succeeded 30 very we'll.
That she only got up TO be seen
When her mate came by the name Of
Green.
Some OF the younger sheep Of this fold.
Think that others are as good as gold.
But they should be careful how they love-
When they see the cooling ~ dove.
These sheep did meet Portsmouth
teacher.
One might have taken for a preacher:
But the funny stories he loved TO tell,
Would not become a parson we'll.
When II is meal time we see Noyes,
That saws "ready" 70 the girls and boys: /:
Then the sheep all rush In for the food.
That is served so very we'll and good
Now this Hock OF sheep are homeward
bound,
After their graze on the hills around.
And may they all I've the story 10 tell
or their stay az Columbus Hotel

Madison, Wis, May 25.-In his annual
report to the governor to-day, Zeno M.
Host, state Insurance commissioner, rec
ommends that the state license fee on fire
and marine insurance companies be in
creased from 2, to 8 per cent of the gross
incomes, and that the amount paid for re-
insurance and losses be deducted from
such incomes. Since the present commits
sioner has been in office he has collected
about $4,000 in back taxes on deductions
made by insurance companies for REIN
Surance.
The amount Of business written in Wis
consin by stock, fire, marine and mutual
fire insurance companies In 1903 was
SAP, 1922. 6S7.12, Of which $7,370,89 was
received as premiums, and upon which
$3,411, 132.08 was paid for losses, making
the ratio of losses paid to premiums re-
ceived 46,27 per cent. The ratio Of ex-
pense to premiums received by companies
transacting business in Wisconsin was
37.11 per cent which indicates that the
losses paid and expenses incurred for Wis
consin business amounted to 1888 per cent
of the premiums received.

Butte, Mont, May 25.-One of the min
ing sensations Of the day is the fabulously
rich f1nd made by Schumacher and Olson,
Butte men, on the Butcher Boy claim at
the head Of Carmen creek in Lemhi coun-
ty, Idaho. The sensational discovery con-
sists Of a colored streak of ore about
eighteen inches in width. Thru the rock
| the gold is shot in almost countless num-
bers Of small nuggets, glistening before
the naked eye and of q purity that enables
the yellow metal to be cut like so much
wax. Many Of the small granules Of gold
are worth several dollars and under the
miners candle glow with the steady pale
luster Of the precious metal.
| Several other streaks have been encoun-
tered and a conservative estimate Of the
values of the gold leads places the figure
| in the thousands Of dollars. The news of
the strike has caused a ripple Of excite
| ment In mining circles Of the northwest
and a rush to the scene is predicted. At
Red Rock, Mont, on the route to Carmen
creek, the gold fever is at burning heat
and prospecting parties are preparing to
leave for the Carmen mountains.
| The geological conditions Of the Car
men creek country differ from those Of
the famous Thunder Mountain section,
the mineral veins appearing to be Of q f1s-
sure formation rather than Of blanket
| character.
Schumacher and Olson, the owners Of
the Butcher Boy claim, are poor pros
pectors, and their delight over the pros
pect Of developing one of the richest pro-
ducers in Idaho can be compared only to
that Of school boy just out on vaca-
ton. The two miners kept their discov-
| cry close secret until they had located
about 400 acres. large tract Of placer
ground, mill sites and water rights.
