MRS BELCHEUR
IS VERY LOW
IT Is GREATLY FEARED THE
BILLINGS WOMAN CANNOT
RECOVER.

The demurrer filed by the attorneys
for Mrs. Adleheid Belcheur in the case
recently brought against her by Mrs
Maude Hedges. in which the plain.
tin claims damages in the sum OF
$4,000 for the alleged alienation OF
the affections of her husband, DR.
Ralph Hedges, was this morning SET
by Judge Cheadle for tomorrow at 8
a. m.
Mrs. eeIcheur Very Low.
A report was circulated in Lewis
town yesterday to the effect that Mrs.
Beicheur had died at Billings. The re-
port is found to be incorrect, although
Mrs. Belcheur at last accounts, was
very low, and her recovery was hard
ly expected. w. NJ. Johnston, of Bill
ings, Mrs. Belcheurs attorney, has en-
gagged Blackford & Blackford. of this
city, to assist him in tine trial. Mr..
Johnston says his clients condition
is extremely critical. Speaking of the
case, he said:
while Mrs. Belcheur was at Lewis
town she had two operations perform
ed and was at all times confined in a
private hospital. II there were any re-
lations of any character, except pro-
fessional, between her and DR.. Hedges,
ii was by reason Of the fact that ne
took advantage of a woman who was
too weak, physically. to resist him.
This talk that she might. in her ex.
tremely weak condition, make such
advances to her medical adviser as to
cause his affections to be alienated
from his wife is simply preposterous.
Since she returned from Lewistown
and has been at the home of her hus
band, she has been very sick per.
