The farmer who owns farm
is the particular person who is

mines suspend, merchants fail
and towns burn, times may be
panicky and even crops may be
short-but the farmer who owns
his acres will get along. He will
live in comfort and quiet, with
plenty to eat, drink and wear
He is the most independent man

A year ago there eminated
from the Passenger Department
of the Denver & Rio Grande Rail
road folder giving the time
of trains, with notes descriptive
of the points of interest, the
scenery, and the industrial and
commercial Importance of the
cities located on its line, together
with information regarding alti-
tudes and populations. This fold-
er, at once so simple and under
standable, was such a marked i'm
provement over the puzzling leaf
lets usually handed the traveller,
that it was received with instant
favor and attracted much atten~
ton. Its drawback was an awk-
ward fold, and it was minus a
map. All this has now been rem
edied, new descriptive folder,
with a splendid Coast to Coast
map and collapsible fold that
simply falls together, having
made its appearance day or two
ago. The Rio Grande now en-
JOYS the distinction of issuing the
simplest and most readily under
stood time table of any railroad
in the United States. May its
example be followed by other
lines.

BICAM|sT's FIRST
WIFE IS INcENsED
Mrs. Lillian Stansell Says Story On
Which Husband Gained Liberty Is
Tissue CT Lies.

That a great injustice was done
when Judge Connolly paroled Fred
Stansell, a confessed bigamist, is the
claim Of Mrs. Lillian Stansell, the
first wife OF the defendant. on whose
complaint he was arrested. The story
Stansell told In court, which gained
him his liberty, Is pronounced a It's
sue OF lies by the wife.
StanselI told the court that he was
only ~ years old when he married
MS nrst wife, In Pontiac. and that he
was surprised to learn. after their
marriage, that she had been previous
ly married and had q daughter. Be-
cause OF this deception, he said, he
consulted lawyer with a view to Sc
curing a divorce, but was advised that
lnasmuch as he was under age at
the time OF his marriage q divorce
was unnecessary. On the strength OF
this advice he married his second
wife. who was Miss Clara Decker. OF
Royal Oak.
Now the first Mrs. Stansell comes
forward with what purports to be a
copy of their marriage certificate.
showing that the marriage took place
In Windsor Dec. %, 1906. Stansell's
age is given as 20 and Mrs. Stansell's
as 27.
The marriage took place in Mr..
Stanselfs home in Windsor and with
the consent Of his parents" said Mrs.
Stansell to The Times. HE knew
that | had been married before, be-
cause he had visited my home in De-
troit and had seen my daughter there,
and my daughter lived with us from
the start. He says We separated four
years ago. when he claims TO have
learned OF my previous marriage. AS
matter OF fact. We separated a year
and fve months ago, In Royal Oak,
when my husband began running
around with Miss Decker. She was
the cause OF our separation. What's
the use OF having any law against
bigamy IL man can go right on vio-
lating 1t and escape punishment?
"Stansell was a waiter in a res
taurant when I met him. My father
the money to set him I'D in
the bakery business and he ran 1t
into the ground. Because would not
give my consent when he wanted to
move to Pennington and ,ctart
larger bakery he attacked me and
my daughter, and had him arrested.
That was in Pontiac. where he claims
to have married me.
II have laid these facts before
Judge Connolly and the prosecuting
attorney, but nothing has been done
about it,"
Mrs. Stansell, No. 1. keeps board
ing house on Woodward-ave. Stansell
has gone back to live with his second
wife and baby.

kact from the Brussels exposition and
there Is great rejoicing at court. AT
khe same time lace lovers all over
the world may congratulate them
selves. for many pieces OF lace owned

The morning after the fire the ltal-
Ian embassy received anxious inquir-

Kate of her laces. They could not be
found in the half-burned pavilion, and
the ambassador was afraid they had
been stolen. When Signor Rosada
delivered them IN the ambassador
embraced him and the queen caused

PROPERTY TRADE
IS INVESTIGATED
Council Ways and Means COMMITTEES
May Hold Up Contract Whereby E.
R. viger Acquires City Land.

The ways and means committee OF
the common council spent q busy
two hours, Wednesday morning, ill-
vestigating q deal almost closed be-
tween the city and Edward r. viger,
the coal dealer. for trade which
would give him 80 feet frontage on
Twentieth-st.. with q solid brick slate
rooted barn, also owned by the city.
for the same-sized plat OF land occu-
pied by q cottage and without street
frontage. AS result, the contract,
which has been approved by the coun-
Gil. will probably be held up.
The matter had it's beginning Ave
years ago, when Viger's buildings
burned. and ID. p. w. Commissioner
Maybury allowed him to use the barn
temporarily and 20 build shed on
the property. Viger has been occupy
ing the premises ever since. Last
spring the matter came to the atten-
ton OF Aid. link, and Secretary K.
X. Schreiter, of the council commit.
tees, and link asked for an investl.
CATION. but nothing was done about 1t.
Viger offered the city in trade piece
OF property adjoining the western
storage yards OF the d. p. w. The
offer was referred to the committee
on ways and means. and, by II, 70
City Engineer Mccormick. In some
way, II came back through the grade
separation committee and slipped
through the council without opposi'
ton. The contract has not been
signed, however.
When the committee went out In
Wednesday, they found
that viger had remodeled the barn,
and had had q railway switch con-
structed across the property. He ex-
planned that he had supposed the deal
was contaminated, the resolution hav-
ing passed the council.
What about the five years rent OF
the premises?" asked Aid. link.
That Is altogether separate con-
sideration," said Viger.
Viger has a claim against the city
for grade separation. which may be
taken into the final consideration. The
committee probably will ask the coun-
ell to cancel the contract.
Aid. link and Owen. the latter OF
whom Is on the grade separation coul-
mittee, had a lively dispute before
the meeting, Wednesday. link accus-
ing owen of trying to work snap
contract on the city. :,
You didn't get elected, that's all
the matter with YOU" said Owen.
