LEADING FIGURE IN FAMOUS
SIOUX FALLS CASE STARTS
TO EUROPE AFTER RE
UNION.

Sioux Falls. S. D.--The departure
from New York City a day or two
ago of William ID. Boyce, the million
aire Chicago publisher. with his wife,
Son II others for IA tour of the
world, recall one OF the most ceie-
brated divorce cases in the history of
South Dakota.
1t was in this state that Mr.. Boyce
secured a divorce from the woman
who again is his wife, and who is ac-
%companying him on his journey
around the world, it is believed in ac-
cordance with a promise made her
when he remarked her. The journey
therefore will be in the nature of d
honeymoon trip.
Mr.. and Mrs. Boyce were married
the first time on Jan. /, 1884, Mrs.
Boyce going to Chicago from Virgin
ia. In the summer OF 1908 Mr.. Boyce
came to South Dakota, and on Aug.
IA, of that year, established a legal
residence in Campbell county, S. D.,
During the tendency of the divorce
action which he instituted against
his first wife he leased large areas
of land which formerly was included
in the Sisseton Indian reservation for
la hunting preserve. Accompanied by
Chicago friends he put in many weeks
hunting on his private game preserve
which he has since retained, visiting
it on hunting trips each fall when
prairie chicken shooting is permitted
by the state game law.
Late in 1908 Mr.. Boyce was grant
ed a divorce on the ground of ex-
IRENE cruelty. Property was placed
in trust for Mrs. Boyce which assur-
cd her an annual income of $4,000.
On May %, 1910, Boyce married
Miss Virginia d. Lee, of Oak Park, II
suburb of Chicago. In 1911 she di-
vorced him on the ground of desec-
ton. The son, Benjamin Boyce, Who
with his wife accompanies his father
and mother on the globe-trotting eX-
petition which "a commenced a few
days ago, bitterly opposed the divorce
suit his father instituted against his
mother, and it is .belived that he had
much to do with his father again re-
marrying his mother. and. thus reunit-
ing the family.
