PHILADELPHIA MAN At
TACKS THE DIVORCE
OF FORMER WIFE.

Sioux Falls, S. D., July 30.-The di-
torce colony is excited over a motion
to vacate n annul a decree of divorce
obtained by Mrs. Elizabeth B. Reeves,
wife of Harry l.. Reeves, a prominent
resident of Philadelphia.
I've decree was granted at Canton,
August 6, 1906. After obtaining the
divorce the plaintiff Immediately left
South Dakota, going to New York city,
where on August IL, 1906, she was re-
married to Edward Ritter Walls, a
prominent contractor, of Philadelphia.
After the marriage the parties returned
to Philadelphia, where they have since
and now are residing.
Arguments upon the motion to an
nul the divorce are fixed for July 20
before Judge Jones. Mr.. Reeves alleges
his wife had no grounds for DIVORCE;
that she left her domicile in Pennsyl-
yania and came to South Dakota for
the sole purpose of obtaining a divorce
and of then returning to Philadelphia.
1t was because the plaintiffs in the
Bell. Streitwolf and Andrews cases left
the state as soon IS the decree was
entered and returned to the state of the
former dornicile to reside that the
United States supreme court held that
the divorce judgments in these cases
We're not entitled to eXtraterritorial

INSEkSIBLE DRIVER
SITS UPRIGHT WHILE
r RUNS AWAY

Sioux Falls, S. D., July 2.-Dur:ng a
passing storm a wh.p-lash of lightning
descended on East Tenth street, at the
corner of Phillips avenue, and curled
along the wire connections of the frame
building on the corner, entering the build
ing and working quite a good deal of
damage inside.
AT the time the bolt descended a wagon
was passing drawn by one horse and dr.v-
en- by James Hubbell, age IS. The near
ness of the shock affected both horse and
driver, jolting the former to his
and leaving the latter in a state of insen-
sibility, sitting upright on the seat Of his
wagon.
The horse recovered almost instantly
for two blocks before the wagon came in
contact with one Of the sides Of the Tenth
street bridge and the unconscious driver
was thrown from his seat to the hard
pavement, being tossed a distance of
about fifteen feet.
Young Hubbell states that he remem-
bers nothing after the shock, when he
saw the horse sink to his knees. Hubbell
thinks this occurred at the bridge, where
he regained consciousness after the fall;
but it is known that he lost consciousness
at the corner of Phillips avenue and rode
for two block in a state Of insensibility.
After the collision with the bridge the
horse was caught and the boy was car
ried into a nearby blacksmith shop. The
wagon sustained considerable damage but
the boy apparently was all right, and
rapidly recovered, announcing himself as
unhurt.
