BRIEF RESPITE FOR
CAMPAIGN WORKERS.

The 400 workers engaged in collect
ing contributions and donations in the
sl50.o00 Young oman's Christian
Association building campaign have
been granted respite from their la
bors for Thanksgiving Day, although
1t is probable that many Will keep
on working to-day. Reports from the
yesterday aggregated $96.13l. sS.0+3
OF which was collected during the day.
It had been intended by the workers
to pile up total of 100000 by
Thanksgiving, and as several among
the most successful solicitors failed to
report yesterday II is probable that
th.s ambition may have been realized.
At the end of the midday luncheon
the Rev. Games buchanan, Of the AS
sociated Charities. was introduced and
addressed the workers. DR.. Buchanan
said that no form of endeavor SO APP
pealed to him as that which in any
manner tended to uplift or benefit wo-
mankind.
During the absence of H. w. Wood.
chairman of the campaign executive
committee, o. A Hawkins, of the cam
paiEn committee. presided. Mr.. Haw-
kins did not neglect, however. to re-
mind the several teams of the great
necessity for continued labor. saying
very probably moro easily collected
than the next $4,000 would be.

vorce quit OF Rena Ashbridge against
Thomas Ashbridse is being tried in

Of Dickinson.
The cause has sensational features.
The defendant filed cross complaint
and the contest was waxed warm.
The parties were married April Ill.
1910, and lived together intermittent
ly for nearly q year 1t was Mr.. Ash
bridges second matrimonial venture
and the brides third, she having been
twice divorced In the Burleigh county
court, her late husband being Mr..
Marsh.
The plaintiff alleges intoxication,
cruelty and failure to provide, while
Mr.. Ashbridge in his cross complaint
intimates that the woman married
him for the sole purpose Of securing
financial gain. He says she absented
herself from their home for long In
tervals, and finally declined to re-
turn when importuned to do SO. Mrs.
Ashbridge alleges that the defendant
is worth $4,000 and she asks iudR-
ment for support pending the divorce
