WOMAN SEEKS RETURN
OF WEARING APPAREL

Whisper it softly and confidential
ly, but Mrs. Llewe1la E. Turner
white. the divorced wife of Oscar A.
Turner of Philadelphia, who acquir-
ed a fortupe through negotiating a
sale of the original locations at
Tonopah, and afterwards organized
the Ely Central Copper company,
brought suit in the district court last
Monday against the Copper National
Bank and Arthur Smith to recover
various pieces of feminine attire
of an alleged value of S7.236 and
damages aggregating $4,000. Extrav-
agances of costumes are sprinkled
Throughout the complaint, while Sc
date articles of wearing apparel are
strikingly in the minority.
1t is alleged by the divorce that
she left various and snndry articles
in possession of the defendants,
while she was stopping at the Steptoe
hotel. Dame rumor has il that dur
ing Mrs. Whites absence on the
coast, her son, who for generosity,
lavish extravaganza, capacity for
spending. and deep rooted belief that
there was no difference between
gold coins and stage money, secured
several hundred dollars in cash,
using the quick or ! perish meth
cd of obtaining s%ustenanoe. When
the plaintiff returned from her So
journ on the Pacific seaboards, she
declined to meet the obligations OF
her offspring. Tapped in luxury and
clothed in silks when she came here.
Mrs. White betook herself to the me-
tropolis. leaving a raft of dresses,
bats and other articles that would
interest only those OF the female per-
suasion. Some were real classy
gowns. Others were lulus. And
still these modern Adams have the
temerity to rave at the extravaganza
of a high brow, who claimed to have
more than $1,000 worth of clothing.
The trunks containing these fineries
we're later stored in the vaults of the
Copper National bank.
A New York paper contained an
article about a month ago that the
plaintiff in the present action was
prevented from assuming her usual
standing in deluxe society because
she had been deprived of the use OF
her wardrobe. Time certainly has a
bitter potency.

ing held awaiting the payment Of the
