It was claimed by those in- teersted in the matter that the com pany is openly violating the law, and after making an investigation an attor- ney was engaged by the Nugget to look up the law. The conclusion arrived at was that a remedy could only be secured through the office of the dis trict attorney, and the following letter, which is self-explanatory, was sent to the office of that official this afternon: afternoon:

IN the marriage yesterday of John S

to Miss Bertha T. Baldwin. another
chapter was added to a story marked by
pathos more than by happiness.
Mr.. Gordon was divorced. having been
sued Ia the courts Of Minnesota In No

Gordon. The Western decree gave Mrs.
Gordon the custody Of twelve-year-old
Dorothy Gordon. A few weeks ago suit

II was not until near the end Of the

little girl had believed the Gordons were

and even the family Of Mrs Gordon
were not aware that the little gfri> Was
not her own and X was manifesdy this
upon which Gordon relied 20 retain the
child. II was learned that she had never
