SLAVER'S YOUNG
 WIFE GETS DIVORCE

FAIRBANKS, Jan. 26.-Mrs. Eliza beth Beaumont was granted an abso- lute divorce from her aged husband, Thomas H. Beaumont, in the district court Friday afternoon. However the issuance of the final decree was con tinued for 30 days.
 The defendant in the proceedings is now serving time in McNeil's Island for white slavery, having been convict ed and sentenced in October, 1912, to two years imprisonment. He had been merchant or trader at Fort Yukon for years, and is now said to be more than three score and ten years of age, while his wife is but 22. They have a child of about two years of age.
 The story of the plaintiff, is the story of a mountain girl of California whose confidence in Beaumont was be- trayed. It seems that the aged trader was a sort of Bule Beard; that he made practice of going out each sum- mer with his fur and duping some young girl in one way or another. On one of these trips he discovered the woman who was lately divorced from him, then young 15-year-old, rustic beauty, who had never been away from her mountain home With his old craft, Beaumont set about to get her. He pictured to her uusophisticat- ed mind the wonders of the Golden North where she might reign over his luxurious household as an adopted daughter. He played the patriarch to her poor parents, and they consented to her making the journey. What fol- lowed was a natural consequence, con- sidering the character of the old vil- lain.
 But Beaumont tried his game once too often. He went out again, and, it seems, induced a couple of young girls to come North as companions to his wife. They got as far as San Fran cisco where government agents, not liking the look of things, took him into custody on the snuspicion of his being white slayer. He was tried, convicted and sentenced to term in the Federal penitentiary on MceNil's Island Fairbanks Citizen.
