 Ethel Mcleod was on Friday grant ed a divorce from c. A Mcleod The defendant failed to answer the sum- mons to appear in the case. The decree was granted on the ground of desertion and failure to support. There is no issue to the marriage.
 Suit on alleged grubstake agreement was on Wednesday filed by Rosa
  c. A. Britt and Thomas Maher In her complaint the plaintiff recites that Craig applied to her in August. 1909, for assistance to make trip to the Idtarod for the purpose of prospecting and mining and that she furnished him with five dogs valued at s350. and, all told, with s475 in money. The alleged agree ment was verbal one and under it she was to have a half interest in all mining properties, leases CT interests that Craig might acquire in the Iditarod.
 The complaint goes on to recite that the defendant Craig, while in the lditarod and since August, 1909, has acquired the following inter ests: By location on December 3,

1909. an undivided one-fifth inter- est in the Jumbo association claim on Flat creek: by deed from James Hagan, recorded January II, 1910, onehalf interest in No. 2 below the Glen association placer mining claim on Flat creek; by option, the Glen association: by lease. the sec ond 660 feet lay on the upper end on the Homestake association, at the mouth of Flat creek: by lease, 66Of0ot lay on the Montana fraction placer mining claim. situated be tween the Mohawk and the Myrtle associations, al the mouth of Flat; also other leases, options. etc. a de scription of which Craig refused to furnish the plaintiff.
 The defendants have denied and repudiated the grubstake agreement and q nied the plaintiffs right to half the property acquired by Craig.
 It is alleged that C. A. Britt anu Thomas Maher. with full knowl- edge of the rights of the pla,ntif. have acquired an interest in the property.
 At the present time the defend ants, through their laymen, are mining on Nos. ? and 3 below the Glen association on Flat. and unless they are restrained they will strip the claim of its values and deprive the plaintiff of her interest in the gold and gold dust.
 The plaintiff therefore asks for an order from the court directing the defendants to convey to her pnf half interest in all tho nrOperty acquired by Craig, and to pay to the plaintiff one half of all the procee Gf the mining operations: also that the defendants be enjOined from work on claims Nos. and 3 below the Glen association, pending the settlem mt of the suit: also for an accounting, and for costs and dis bursements.

NOT USING LARGE INTESTINE,
 PATIENT LIVES AND THPIVES

CHICAGO. Nov. 19. - By perform ing what he calls the modified Lane operation" Dr. c. H. McKen- na exhibited yesterday to the world a new advancement in surgery. He deprived his patient of all use of the large intestine without removing that organ. Dr. McKenna made this operation at St. Joseph's hospital in the morning.
 The Lane operation necessitates the removal of the large intestine. The Chicago surgeon has secured better results, and he removes vir- tually nothing from the body. He connects the small with the large intestine at point near the base of the latter and stops up the cut at the top. The large intestine is no longer called upon to perform its function, yet it lives and goes through the cere mony of absorption and transformation of matter.
 The patient does not suffer the reaction that occurs with the re- moval of several feet of intestine which the Lane operation demands.

TACOMA, Wash. Nov. 26. - Fred Young, an Alaska miner. has fallen heir to a $2O,0OO.0o0 estate left by his uncle, a resident of Melbourne, Australia. It required several months for the executors of the es- tate to find Young, who was in the Susitna valley, western Alaska, miles from postoftice.
 Young was working as laborer when an agent of the solicitors handed him letter enclosing draft for 5000, with a request that he hasten to Melbourne.

WILL LIMIT FREE MILL TEST

The Citizens stamp mill, caught in the Washington-A Alaska bank fail ure to the extent of $400, will be somewhat cramped for funds, but 1t is likely that it will be run under the old arrangement until the first of the month, at which time the six months period named in the agree ment that subscribers to the mill fund signed expires. To do this, however, the size of the free test to be made will have to be cut down to two tons, instead of three, a charge to cover the actual cost of milling being made for anything ad- ditional.

 Mrs. Bedleski had listened to the sale with an amused smile and when Krokoss attempted to assume the part of her lord and master she knocked him senseless with the handle of a mine pick. Then she went to Justice Hayden and had her husband arrested on the charge of desertion.
 Hayden fined him $2 and costs, made him apologize to his wife and return the money to the boarder Krokoss and declare the sale off.

THINNING IS FLOODED OUT

Water breaking through from the old Cascaden workings on the Wild Goose association on Engineer creek put stop to the operations of H. NJ. Henning, on Tuesday last, but the cessation of work lasted only for four days, the pumps putting the ground in shape for resumption again on Saturday. It is probable, however, that MT. Henning will de- termine on taking out winter dump instead of trying to continue sluicing all winter.
