Started Divorce Action

Berthold, N. D., April 6.-This city
was the scene of rather sensational
scrap when John Boyle. against whom
Mary Elizabeth Boyle recently started
an action for divorce, made an attack
upon his wife in one of the rooms in
their home. Mrs. Boyle sustained a
severe cash across the face. the check
being cut from the ear to the lip,
while a second wound was sustained
by the woman in her arm.
1t seems that Mrs. Boyle was sit
ting in the parlor talking to Frank
Trumbell when the husband came to
the door. He asked admission. the
wife calling to him to come in. He
entered with knife in his hand and
is said to have made an attack on her
at once. The two slashes were sus-
tanned by her, Trumbell being held
by a companion of Boyles. He was
beaten severely and left unconscious.
Boyle was arrested but later re-
leased but 1t is understood that the
case will be brought up again. In
tho divorce action, Attorney E. r.
Sinkler of Grafton is appearing for
