rs REVERSED IN SUIT
FOR ALIENATIO4A OF WIFE'S
ECTIONS-TRIED HERE

A decision in the famous case of
Charles G. Gessner VS.. Arthur Horne
for alienation of his wife 8 affections
and criminal conversation has just been
handed down. The case WIS tried before
Judge Cowan and a verdict was return
ed in favor of the defendant. An ap-
peal was taken to the supreme court on
the grounds that the instruction to the
jury was erroneous and the judgment is
reversed.
The complaint was for alienation of
his wife's affections but the evidence
went to show criminal conversation.
The decision follows:
The opinion was written by Judge
Fisk. Chief Justice Morgan did not
participate and Judge A. G. Burr sat in
his place. Anderson & Traynor ap-
peared for the appellant and P. J. Nc
Glory and F. T. Cuthbert represented
the respondent.
The syllabus follows:
!. Complaint construed and held
that its allegations are sufficiently
broad to embrace not only cause for
action for alienation of affections but
also one for criminal conversation; and
the fact that such causes of action are
intermingled instead of separately
pleaded cannot avail defendant. His
remedy was by motion to require sep
aration Of such causes Of action.
2. Conceding, as contended by re-
spondent, that plaintiffs counsel in
drafting such pleading, did not intend
to allege cause of action for criminal
conversation, such fact does not pre-
clude plaintiff from recovering thereun-
der. The fact that party proceeds to
trial upon a mistaken idea as to the
nature Of an action and the scope of
the issues framed by the pleadings
does not deprive him of the right to
such relief as is consistent with the
where he has not expressly or implicitly
waived such right.

FARM HAND GIVEN HEARING
AND rs RELEASED-EVID
NOT SUFFICIENT TO HOLD.

Grand Forks, N D., Sept. 12.-At a
hearing held last cevning, Stephen II.
Smythe, the man held as suspect in
released, as the evidence was not strong
that he had been tried for his life in
Pennsylvania. and that he had been
bootlegging in northern Minnesota, but
denied ever having been in California.
AS there We're several discrepancies in
the description Of the two men he vas
released.
The facts as given in yesterdays
Grand Forks Times are as follows:
On suspicion that he is NJ. E.
Schmidt, wanted in Los Angeles, Cal,
in connection with the sensational dy-
namiting Of the building of the Los
Angeles Times, man giving his name
as Stephen X. Smyth was placed under
arrest at the Elk Valley farm near Lar
more today and will be lodged in
either the Larmorc or the Grand Forks
jails tonight.
Smyth has been employed on the
farm since early in May or the latter
part of April of this year and has been
under suspicion for about month and
half, M. w. Edwards Of Larimore be-
ing responsible for the arrest that was
made today.
The arrested man tallies in many de-
tails with the description that has been
sent out from Los Angeles Of man
wanted in connection with the dyna-
hitting. The circular description tells
of a man about feet II inches tall,
weighing between $50 and 100 pounds,
about 50 years of age, sandy complex
toned and man who is jack Of all
trades, particularly handy in cooking,
etc. In many instances his description
fits in with that Of the suspected man.
Smyth or Schmidt as the case may
be, appeared to be considerably fright
ened when appraised of the fact that
he was wanted on a charge of such a
serious nature, but protests his inno
cence.
Schmidt, the wanted man, has also
been known under the names of F. A.
Perry, A. j. Leonard, and j. B. Bryson
and there is reward of $4,000 out
for his capture.
Mr.. Edwards suspicioncd Smyth first
about six or seven weeks ago and i'm
mediately communicated with the Los
Angeles authorities and secured as ac-
curate description of the man they
wanted as possible. Since then he has
talked to the man who is now under
arrest on several occasions and from
these conversations has strengthened
his first belief. He declared to the
Times today that he was quite conf
dent he had the right man.
The alleged dynamiter, in his con-
verSations with Mr.. Edwards. has told
several peculiar stories, contradictory
i'll their nature. He first declared that
he never had been in California and af-
! forwards admitted that he had.

SHERIFF M'LEAN RECEIVES A
LARGE BUNDLE OF CIRCULARS
FROM ARMY.

According o circulars received by
Sheriff Mclean to be posted in his Of
nee, assertions are occurring in the
United States army in great numbers
Already the sheriff has several walls
of his headquarters posted with bills
announcing reward of $50 for the
return of each deserter and a new batch
is received nearly every day.
The posters contain heavy line at
the top in black face type announcing
the reward offered. This is followed by
the name and two half tones showing
the fact and profile of the man wanted.
Then comes a description stating with
what troop the man was in, the date of
his enlistment, when he deserted, scars
or other means Of identification and
the residence Of his parents or relatives.
Upon capture the man may be re-
turned to the nearest army post, where
the reward can be claimed. The act of
congress approved June IS, 1898, pro-
vldes: "That it shall be lawful for
any civil officer having authority IN
der the laws Of the United States or
any state, territory or district, to ar
rest offenders, to summarily arrest a
deserter from the military service of
the United States and deliver him in.
to the custody of the military author
itv or the general government. ANY
information that may be secured as to
the whereabouts of deserters is com
municatcd to the adjutant general of

life as a private wanes after a certain
