of her first husband when she was %.
Three years later, according to the at.
torney, she met Stratton, who was then
26 years of age, in st. Augustine
county, Texas, and they were married
there in 1874. From there, the story
continues, they went to Fort Worth,
where twin children, Frances and Scott,
were born, In 1875, it is said Stratton
started for the north with $4,000 Of
his wife's money for the purpose Of
buying a cattle ranch and never re,
turned. Believing that her husband
was dead, according to the attorneys 9
story, she married again, and in 1886
she came with her husband, Michael
Kennedy, to Leadville, where Kennedy
later died. In 1900 she heard some
miners at dinner talking about Stratton
and his Independence mine, and as a
result Of this conversation, the lawyer
says, she went to Cripple Greek and
found her husband. She upbraided him,
the story continues, and he promised to
make settlement Of $4,000 with in
terest, and from time to time gave her
g. few hundred dollars, but did nothing
toward making the settlement and did
not mention her in his will.
The attorney says that the alleged
Mrs. Stratton has three living witnesses
with a personal knowledge of her al
legged marriage, and who will testify
that they talked with Stratton and that
he acknowledged his marriage with the
present claimant.

A Mixture Of Sage and Sulphur Pre-
vents Dandrut and Falling
Hair.

When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur no one can tell,
because it's done so naturally; so
evenly. 1t is also splendid TO remove
dandruff, cure itching scalp and stop
falling hair.
Preparing this mixture, though, at
home is a mussy and troublesome
task. For about so cents a bottle you
can buy at any drug store the ready
to-use tonic called, "Weyth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy" Some drug
gists put this mixture up themselves
but make II too sticky, 30 insist you
want "Wyeth's" then there will be no
