cured a suite Of three rooms, the wo-
man taking the name Of Richardson.

during the night from her husband at
Huron, announcing the death OF Mont
gomery's wife, which occurred during
the early part of the afternoon of that
day. The clerk in the hotel had a Sus-
picion that the woman registered as
Mrs. Richardson was Mrs. Richmond,
n delivered the telegram to her at z
o'clock in the morning in apartments
which Montgomery had taken. She
signed Tor the message. The party of
three left the Martin and 1t is said they

Mrs. Richmond is the wife of the
Methodist minister at Huron, and Mr..
Montgomery is classed as a leading
membe OF the church. A conference
was recently held at Huro by Bishop
Luccock concerning the affair, but
