Given Decision in Suit for Sep
arati0n From Husband.
ALMONY FIXED At $4,000
Plaintiff Had Asked for Quarter
of a Million Yearly.

New York, June 26.-After a trial
which lasted nearly three weeks,
katherine Clemmons Gould obtained
a legal separation from her husband,
Howard Gould, third son of the late
Jay Gould, by a decision of Justice
Bowling in the supreme court, With
the exception of alimony, her victory
was complete. but in this phase of
the case the court decided that $780,
600 a year was sufficient, although in
her suit Mrs Gould asked for $3.50, 900.
She has been receiving S25. 900 a year
from Mr.. Gould, so that the amount
fixed by the court is but a slight In
crease compared with the amount
sued for.
1t was in the vindication OF charges
Of intoXication and her alleged rela-
tions with Dustin Farnum, the ac-
tor, that Mrs. Gould scored most
strongly, for Notwithstanding the Ions
array of witnesses for Mr.. Gould,
who gave such testimony as to make
Mrs. Gould appear as defendant rather
than plaintiff, the court held that the

alleged "intoxication" might have
been due to excitement. AS to Dustin
Farnum, it was held that her asso-
citation with him came after Mr.. and
Mrs. Gould separated and that the
husband apparently made no objec-
ton.
Immediately after the decision De-
1nncey Nicoll, for Mr.. Gould, asked for
a siXty-day stay of judgment, and
Clarence j.. Shearn. for the plaintiff,
was on his feet to object. He asked
for an immediate judgment. Justice
Bowling compromised by making the
stay thirty days, Mr.. Shearn then
asked for an extra allowance for
counsel fees and the court gave him
$4,000. This. together with the s1O,-
600 allowed recently and the original
allowance of $4,000, will bring his
fees to SIT 600. with an additional
sum of $4,000 for expenses.

COAL AT JAMESTOWN
Well Borer Strikes a Deep Vein OF
Hinh Grade Fuel.

Great excitement prevails at James.
town since the discovery of a deep
vein Of coal in the hills north of the
city. From tests which have been
made it is believed the entire country
for three miles is underlaid with a
grade of coal finer than Ignite.
The discovery of coal was first made
on the Berks farm when the owner
was boring for a we'll. He quietly
made Investigations in the vicinity
and purchased all the available land
thai was for sale.
Practical mining men from the East
insist that the man has q fortune in
his grasp and that a new industry will
be assured for jamestown when opera
lions are started. Bidding has been
spirited for a lease of several acres
where the best vein is located, and
an Aberdeen concern has completed
negotiations for a longtime lease.

Drowned.

III SVSliCSs
Dodging TO escape the lash Of a
whip welded by a woman they had
been t%orInenting. several Valley City
lads leaped from a bridge over Shey-
enne river, and one Of them, Clark
Breese, aged eleven years, was
drowned.
According to the story told by the
lads companions, they were playing
With squirt-guns on the bridge, throw
ing water on persons who passed. A
woman who vas driving across the
bridge. the lads say, was angered and
pursued them with a horse whip.
Breeze was standing on a concrete
pier and the only way to elude the
lash was to jump ten feet to the river
bank, the boys explained. Breese
jumped and reached the bank, but it
was steep and he fell back into the
water and was drowned.
The woman, the boys say, returned
to her carriage as Breese leaped from
the pier.
The identity Of the whom
the boys allege pursued them with a
whip is not generally known, but there
is considerable feeling in Valley City
over the tragedy.

NEW THEORY IS ADVANCED
Leon Ling May Not Have Murdered
Elsie Sieel.

New York. June 29.-The failure to
find any trace whatever of Leon Ling
caused the police to give some atten-
ton to the theory that the missing
man may not have killed Elsie Sigel
and that he was himself the victim of
the same hand that killed the girl.
This line of reasoning necessitates
the rejection of the story told by
Chung Sin, who said he had seen
Leon in the room over the Eighth ave-
nue. restaurant where Miss SigeI's
dead body lay, but the authorities de-
clare that Chung's statements have
shown discrepancies with known
facts in several particulars.
In considering the possibility that
Leon was killed it is regarded as prob
able hat his body was placed in a
