vantage until her horse became un-
ruly and she had to cease. Mrs.
Boynton told the large crowd that

that he should return the animal,
but he refused.

ed up thirty-one dogs. Shortly be-
fore noon Mrs. Boynton went to the
city clerks office. where she received
a license tag for the dog Accom-
panied by Constable O'Brien, Mrs.

EVELYN MUST ACT
IN DIVORCE CASE
Special on United Press Rtrs.

Special OF United Press Wire:
NEW YORK, Mar. 10:-Colonel
Franklin Bartlett, counsel for Mrs.
William Thaw, mother of Harry
Thaw, today, asserted positively that
If proceedings for a divorce between
Harry and Evelyn are started the
young wife will be the instigator.
He said: ''The elder Mrs. Thaw never
asked Harry to quit his wife, but,
on the contrary, pleaded with Evelyn
to become reconciled to him. Evelyn
made up her mind long ago to leave
Thaw and she seems determined to
carry out her intention. The idea
of divorce is shocking to the elder
Mrs. Thaw, who would rather see
peace between Harry and his wife. "
