Byrne introduced a new railroad bill
in the senate providing that whenever
the railroad commission shall have

EDITOR LETRE REPLIES
TO HIS FIRST WIFE

Sioux Falls, S. D., Feb 81 do not
believe in airing domestic troubles in the
newspapers, neither do | believe in trying
court cases in the columns of the daily
press" remarked F. w. Sallet of Yank-
ton, whose first wife is suing to have his
divorce from her annulled. But / do

II wish to say that I am prepared to
meet in detail every allegation in the at

do not think the newspaper Is the place
for this and T will await the hearing of
the case in court. However. / would re-
quest that the public withhold judgment
in the case until they hear both sides to
this unpleasant controversy.
II wish simply to say here that the
former Mrs. Sallet and myself had talked
over the matter of a divorce time and
again and we had both agreed that 1t was
impossible for us to live together. 1t was
agreed that I should get g divorce but
should provide for her and the children.
which i did. l agreed to pay $50 per
month, but even went further than that
and L can show conclusively that since
last May 1 have paid to Mrs. Sallet $500
and to my Oldest son, who attends the
Business university at indianapolis 5000,
amounting together to sl,1oo.
Instead of Mrs. Sailet leaving Indian
apolis without any money she was given
$50 by Gustav Schaffer before she de-
parted and the money was furnished by

flute any charge of fraud or u~nderhanded
work In connection with the divorce pro-
,eedings. If there is any fraud whatever

which he states that the affidavit
