STEAD OF SlX-SHOCTERS

Belle Fourche, S. D., April 81
Trouble between cattle and sheep
men over in the Powder River coun-
try, is reaching crisis according to
reports coming here. For months
there has been bad feeling between
the two and several small acts serv-
ed to inflame the feelings of each
side. Sheep wagons belonging to F..
w. Rue, postmaster Of Graham,
Mont. Eitner & Mccoy, near More
head, and Cobb and Hardy also near
| Morehead, have been burned, and in
some instances sheep have been
crowded off the range claimed by
| the stockmen. Both sides claim the
right to the range, and each asserts
that the next degradation will bring
| the matter into the courts, If no more
| serious steps are taken.

last night in response to telegram
from the delegation there, asking
him to go and present his PROPOSE
ton regarding the turning over of
his private hospital in case the
Presbytery should decide to locate

Presbytery to start from and the fact
that he is called to Hot Springs to

taken as a reasonable encouragement
that Rapid City is being considered

NOT IMPROPER TO INDUCE
WIFE TO LEAVE HUSBAND

New York, April 81 By decid-
ing that there was nothing improper
in one man inducing another man S
wife to leave him, Justice Gieger-
ich, in the supreme court, gave set
back to a 100000 suit for the al
ienation of his wifes affections
brought by Alfred S. Ellsworth, a
member OF the Albany club of
Brooklyn, president of the r. p.
Sinner company, merchants. Shin
er is a millionaire.
Ellsworth was brother of Shin
er's erstwhtle wife, who divorced
him and married a young man named
Crossman, after considerable Grim
ination and recrimination, in which
Ellsworth took sides with his sis
ter.
Following this Mrs. Ellsworth
sought advice from her erstwhile
brother-in-law about the troubles OF
the Ellsworth family, and under his
advice, left Ellsworth's home on two
occasions, taking her child with her.
Finally she brought suit for divorce
and won 1t before Justice Moren,
who fixed alimony at $50 a week.
Ellsworth chose Jail rather than
payment, but before taking up his
residence under the sheriff's care
brought snit against Shirmer, de-
2claring that when he was living
happily with Mrs. Ellsworth, Shir-
mer deprived him of her love, So
ciety and comfort.
In his demurrer Attorney Brill
pointed out that there are many
cases where a lawyer, physician or
spiritual adviser might properly
persuade a woman to leave her hus-
band and added that the affections
of many women were alienated by
Witnessing theatrical performances.
Justice Giegerich held that the
language Of the complaint was sus-
9ceptible of an Interpretation entire
ly consistent with Sinners inno-
cence. He said that no improper re-
slations are even suggested in the
complaint and for all that appears
the defendant may only have per-
formed his duty in inducing Mrs.
Ellsworth to leave her husband.
