YUMRS NATATOR|UM BECAME
 THE SOURCE 0F GREAT GRIEF

YUMA. Dec. TAG. Randall SparKs, who came to Yuma about six months ago with his wife, engaged costly apartments at tine Gandolfo. Imme- diately he proceeded to unfold upon Huma's unsuspecting and unsophisti- cated business men a plaus, ble story of beautiful natatoTium soon to be built for Yuma. Now, no doubt, he has left Yuma for good.
 At all events, the only way he can convince few people to the contrary Is to come back and show them. lie secured about s2,009 in $20 contracts from Yuma business men and others, and agreed to construct a natator1um building, equipped in up to date fash ion. This he never did to the satis- faction of those who signed the con tracts and only few paid the S20 when the natatoriun opened.
 The balance of the contracts were placed in the hands of Attorney H. Wuppleman for collection, but with out much success, for he was advised that his case was very poor one.
 The shallow pretext made to open up a first class natatorium was of brief duration. The place was kept open just long enough to collect as much as possible on the contracts, and a showing made solely with this end in view.
 There being no hope of making a success of the swimming pool, and no doubt none knew it better than Mir Sparks, the couple left suddenly after collecting on all contracts possible.
 Subsequently it developed that bills for cement work, lumber, livery and ether necessities were left unpaid, much to the disgust of the easy ones who are eyer ready to boost well dressed and affable stranger
 Yesterday Eugene Fain, a cement contractor who resides in the valley filed mechanics lien on the natato- rum property at Main and Jones streets for SIS for labor performed. Other creditors have done likewise in various amounts.
 Imperal citizens were hun-bugged in much the same way and by the same method. Now the question that presents itself to the close observer is why will the average citi- zen pungle up good dollars for fake schemes when worthy business enter priseS of home extraction fail to in

CHAMPION DIVORCE LAWYER IS WANTED
Philadelphia Practioner Gets a Muchly Married Man Into
 Heap Of ToubIe.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 7.-Detec- lives searching for John V Ripperger "Philadelphia's champion divorce law yer, who is now a fugitive from jus uce, believe that he may prove to be John E Roop, attorney-at-law," who by manufacturing Q fake decree of divorce, which purported to have been handed down by the courts of this city, involved two men and three wo- men in marital tangle whica the supreme court Of New York city is trying to straighten out
 The divorce decree which has caus- ed the mix-up was issued to John Cot ton Smith, who lives at 34 West Sixty first street, New York city, in 1892. The document certified that 1t had been handed down by Part I, Court of Common Pleas, county of Philade- phia, and was signed by Joseph Al ison, judge" Investigation shows that the term Part r was not in use at the time and the first name of Judge Allison is not Joseph.
 John Cotton Smith, who is a de scendant of John Cotton, one of the Mayfiower Pilgrims, has gone before Justice Mccall in the New York city supreme court. asserting that ne has discovered the divorce decree to be a forgery. In doing so he gives the facts Of one of the most intricate mat rimonial snarls ever brought to the attention of the New York courts. lie says that after he separated from his first wife, upon receiving the bogus divorce, ne took s second wife. diVoTc- ed her and made third matrimonial venture. Smith says that his first wife, also believing that the divorce obtained from the Philadelphia law yer was genuine, Temarried and after divorcing the second husband Mas about to marry third time when she discovered that the original divorce was invalid
 Smith uncovered this state of af- fairs in opposing q suit for a sepa u tion and aIimOny started by his third wife. After disclosing the facts he asserted that the third wife had no claim upon him as his marriage was illegal and that her suit for a separa- tiOn, therefore, was superfluous.
