Paris, Oct. 31.-The Castellane di-
vorce case was heard this afternoon
before NJ. Henry Ditto, president of
the tribunal of the first instance, of
the Seine. Neither the count nor the
countess was present. Maitre Cruppi,
for the countess, pleaded for the di-
vorce upon documentary evidence SUBJ
mitted. In an extended review,
counsel declared that the coun-
tess at the beginning of the suit was
not acting under influence, but solely
for the purpose of ending forever the
peril OF moral desolation OF her house.
hold. He explained the marriage con-
tract by which the regime of separa-
tion OF property was established from
the very beginning, and stated that
the domestic difficulties are over the
question of money. Ill treatment soon
followed, the count even striking the
plaintiff before her servants. When
he reached the question of infidelity
charged against the count, Maitre
Cruppf did not mention names, or even
initials, designating the correspon-
dents as Madame A." Madame B."
and SO on.
Maitre Cruppi asked that the countess
be given the custody of the thre chill
dren. Counsel for the countess spoke
for an hour and halls and had not
finished when court took recess.
Counsel's presentation of the case of
the plaintiff constitutes complete and
pitiful story, the wreck of her married
life, due primarily to the counts in
ordinate extravaganza. Even in spite
of their domestic infelicity, the coun-
tess was too good and scrupulous to
begin an action for divorce until she
possessed full proof. She was only
twenty when she was married in 1895,
and, Maitre Cruppi asserted, the hap
piness OF the honeymoon was dis
turbed on their arrival in Paris by the
counts demands for money. The
countess income was then $500, 900,
and the count allowed her $50 pin
money.
The court room was crowded.
Among those present were many men,
bers of the American colony.
NJ. Cruppi read passionate extracts
from one of the love letters, fixing a
rendezvous at Dijon. 1t read: Il
am kissing you on the neck. Do you
feel it?" and so on.
Counsel also detailed the liasons.

whom the count met in apartments
which he rented in different parts of
Paris. Cruppi had not finished his
presentation of the case when the
hearing was adjourned until next
week.

READY FOR GONG.


San Francisco, Cal. Oct. 31.-Local
followers of pugislism. who have been
deprived of their favorite sport since
the catastrophe of last spring, are
on edge in anticipation of tonight's 20
between the two big fellows, Al
Kaufman and Sam Berger. The con-
test Is to be pulled off in new skating
rink with capacity for $500 persons,
and the indications are that every
seat will be filled when the gong calls
the fighters into the ring. Both Kauf-
mann and Berger have been training
faithfully and reports from both their
quarters say they are. in the pink
of condition. The fight is expected
to be lively one from start to finish,
as the two are regarded as very evenly
matched. Berger is % years old,
weighs 200 pounds in condition, and
is almost six feet three inches tall.
Kaufman is a year younger, a few
pounds lighter. and an inch shorter,
The slight disparity in size Kaufman
makes up in experience, as he has
been in the professional game longer
than Berger and has had more battles.
The scheduled distance is twenty
rounds. Jack Welch has been selected
to referee the contest.

:tBy H. c. MITCHELL,

Minot, N. D., Oct. 31.-Evidences
again point to a sixth man in the
Sawyer bank robbers gang, a theory
which was first advanced a few MORN
ings after the robbery. At that time
the train of evidence was so strong
that a member of the police force
made a special investigation. 1t was
believed, however, that the remaining
man had by this time gotten into
Canada and it would be impossible
to capture him on the slight descrip-
tion available.
Last night, however, it was discov-
cred bv the vigilant officials at the
county Jail that an attempt had been
made to free the four prisoners. Early
in the evening the officials had pre-
monition that all was not right, and
despite the laughing ridicule of a
number of their friends, started a
careful investigation of the Jail prem
ises.
Their suspicious were verified in
testing the cages and windows when
two of the supposedly solid iron rods
gave away under repeated poundings
and dropped from their places.

Larimore. N. D.. Oct. 31.-The re
publican rally held in the opera house
in this city last evening attracted a
large crowd of the citizens Of Lari
more. The meeting was very sue
cessful one, and not lacking in inter-
est. Among the speakers were ]. B.
Wineman, Thomas H. Pugh, Senator
H. c. Hansbrough and Don McDon-
aid. Other prominent republicans OF
the county present were NJ. w. Spauld-
ing, Thomas E. Tufte. Ed Church and
P. N. Korsmo. The speakers for the
most part, with the exception of Sen
ator Hansbrough, confined themselves
to county issues. Senator Hans
brough's scope was broader one,
dealing not only with county politics.
but with state and national issues.
Republicans of Larimore, for the
most part. realize the necessity of h
continuation of republican supremacy
and will vote the straight ticket.
While there was no stamping of feet
or boisterous applause at last nights
meeting, there was the kind of atten-
tion which indicates the deep interest
that voters are taking in the present
campaign.

Ths orisin sf Mr.. orundy.

How many who daily use the
name Of Mrs. Grundy have any idea
Of her origin! Ii is generally be-
lieved that Dickens was somehow
responsible for her, but a writer IN
the Dundee Advertiser points out
that this is an utter mistake. The
real creator of Mrs. Grundy was
Thomas Morton, the dramatist (born
l764, died ls3s), the father of the
author Of BOX and Cox and she
is referred to in his comedy, speed
the Plow," which was first perform
ed in 1898. Mrs. Grundy is not a
character in that play. She is mere
ly mysterious parsonage whom
Dame Ashfield, the farmers wife,
constantly quotes, much in the same
way as Sairey Camp alludes to Mrs.
Harris.
