and die. Everyone was wishing and
some praying that it would rain.

SAYS HER HUSBAND
MAY Be SUICIDE

PHOENIX, Feb. 1S.-The complaint
in a divorce suit fled yesterday re-
fers to a possible tragedy-to a pro
bable tragedy. The plaintiff in the
case is Mrs. Mittie Mccormick and
the defendant. John F. Mccormick.
They were married at Washington.
d. c.. in July 1897. One day in Jan
uary OF 1905. Mccormick left his
home at Washington for Norfolk, Va.
he said, on business. He travelled
by boat.
On the arrival OF the steamer at
Norfolk he was not among the pas
sengers. His hat and top coat were
found in his stateroom, and also a
package of papers addressed to his
wife. Among them was a letter in
which he said that his financial Diff
ficulties bad grown so great that he
could not longer contend with them.
He was unable to face his creditors
and he had decided to commit suicide.
His wife was informed that she would
never see him again.
She has not since heard from him.
His body was never found. Though he
probably committed suicide, in the
absence of positive proof that he did
so. he is not legally dead and time
enough has not yet elapsed for him to
His position is that of one who has
abandoned his wife and abandonment
is therefore alleged.

PHOENIX, Feb. 1S.-Jessie Renegl,
the girl who wanted to be a man.
was fined $40 for intoxication by
Judge Thomas yesterday. She ap-
peared in court in the only clothes
she had-blue overalls and navy
blue shirt, and light felt hat which
she carried in her hand as a man
would instead of wearing it.
Jessie sat at the tail end Of long
row Of accused-some OF them there
for violating the speeding ordinance,
but most of them for drunkenness
and fighting. The woman was charg-
ed with intoxication, though whether
it was from alcohol OF drugs was not
definitely settled. She sat with her
head down, but once in while raised
her blue eyes and looked about the
court room, which was nearly full OF
