Oddly in the News

Claims Wife He Once Gave Up.
South Bend, Ind.--After making an
Enoch Arden out of her first husband,
Eta Harrison learned that she had
unwittingly lived in polygamy for sew
eral months, and, still mourning the
death Of her second husband, at once
started to rejoin her first spouse, long
thought lost in Alaska.
Richard Harrison left his bride in
South Bend fifteen years ago and de-
parted for Alaska to hunt gold. After
leaving Seattle he failed to commune
cate with his wife. She heard that he
had died, and mourned her loss
A year ago Mrs. Harrison was mar
ried to Arthur Parry. Shortly after
this wedding Harrison returned to
South Bend with considerable money,
and disguised to surprise his wife.
BY inquiry, he learned Of the second
marriage of his wife, and decided not
to disturb this innocent union. He
went to Michigan, without allowing
anyone in South Bend to know of his
existence, and bought fruit ranch.
Four months ago Parry died. News
OF his death reached Harrison week
ago. He spent several days preparing
to receive his wife and yesterday tel
join him.
Joyful. even In her widows weeds,
Mrs. Harrison took the first train to
Michigan, refusing to give her exact
destination.

York, N. D., Resident Says East
ern Papers Greatly Exagger-
ated Winters Sufferings
COLD NOT UNUSUALLY SEVERE
However, the Northwest Was Not
Prepared and Snow BIockades on
the Railroad. Caused Alarm Over the
Lack of Fuel-MiId Weather Exper-
fenced During Past Three Weeks.

Special to Times Republican.
York, N. d.. March 1.-The condi-
tions in North Dakota, as far as suf-
fering is concerned, have been greatly
exaggerated by eastern papers. There
was a time early in the winter when
the outlook was certainly alarming,
owing to the fuel shortage, but with
the past three weeks of mild weather,
the railroads have succeeded in bring
ing in coal and food stuffs, SO that
there is absolutely no further danger.
AS to weather conditions. they have not
been out Of the ordinary, but the north
west was not prepared, and when the
railroads were blockaded by snow, and
no fuel, there were certainly room for
alarm, but those conditions are now
wholly overcome.

Riaamist Had Two Hearts.

Rome.-Probably the most remark
able court decision on record in a
bigamy case is that handed down by a
court at Perugia, which acquitted
Charles Balliori, a tailor, of charge
of having two wives. The acquittal
was based on the ground that Balliori
has two hearts.
Four physicians testified that Balliori
possesses two hearts and the court at
once decided this was ample reason for
him to have two women.
