upon them. And they deserve it.
While other mountains have covered
their heads with crowns of trees or
shrubs, the mountains of Nevada, like a

maker. Their meekness and piety has
been rewarded by their being enriched
with gold and silver and precious stores

Case Is Compromised and

Boston for South.

Two-year-old Woodbury. Ormsby. over
whose curly head a legal battle has
been raging in Boston between his
father and mother, was given back 10
Mrs. Ormsby yesterday. according to
dispatches from Boston. and will live
with her at East Aurora, Va. The case
has been temporarily settled out Of
court, although 1t is said it may be
continued in Washington later.
Mr.. and Mrs. Orrsby, according 70
report, left Boston last night for East
Aurora, but relatives Of Mrs. OCmsby
in Washington have heard nothing di-
rect from the mother. Mrs. Frank By
ram, a sister Of Mrs Ormsby. said this
morning that the family knows nothing
further about the case than the dis
patches from Boston. 1t is not known
whether Mrs Ormsby Will return TO
Washington Immediately or what steps
she will take concerning her son.
It had been expected that a long legal
battle would be waged IN Boston over
the custody Of the boy and the agree
ment which was reached yesterday TO
give him back 10 his mother proved
something of a surprise
Mr. Ormsby claims that the divorce
obtained by his wife in an Ohio court
which gave her the custody OF the
child. is not cCgnized in the District
OF Columbia and that his taking the
child away from Washington without
his mothers consent was in no way a
violation of the law in that he was
merely exercising his prerogative Of a
