 that it would not be right at this

 The decree was signed by Judge FaTghp and though he was disqual- flied from hearing the motions it is possible the case which was contin- ned for further hearing, will be heard before him. Judge Smith made no order in the case. It is understood that the attorneys have reached an understanding and that lhere will be no opposition in having the decree set aside.
 According to Mrs. Conmy, the first, she Was living with her husband in Florence last September. She was leaving for the coast the latter part of the month and before she left her husband showed her the divorce com plaint in wnich he charged her with infdeltY She told him that if he sued cn that ground she would re- main and fight the case. He replied that he would withdraw the papers, Mrs. Conmy then believed the case was dismissed. She was not put on the stand in Florence. The only wit ness called was MT. Conmy whose i testimony bore out the fact that he l and his wife had been living togeth- CT before her departure for the coast few months ago. Benton Dick rep
 resented Mrs. Conmy and Judge l O'Conner was MT Conmy's attorney. Judge Smith was in the city Yester- day en route for the north but he re- fused to make any statement relative to the case.

Woods, Some Believe

Mystery still surrounds the origin
OF the fire which destroyed Flanagan

Tuesday night. Incendiarism is one Of
the possibilities. The sheriff's office
is continuing the investigation.
Another theory advanced by resi-
dents in the district is that the build
ing caught from sparks from nearby
fire in the forest. A slight wind was
blowing the evening of the fire anc as
the building was very old and the wood
very dry it is thought the flames could
easily have originated from this cause.

ASK DAMAGES FOR KILLING
Widow and Heirs of Thompson Falls
Man Wants $80,0O0

THOMPSON FALLS, Mont, Oct 27
Another development in the Thomas
murder case was the filing of COM
plant this week in the district court
by the widow and heirs of A. G.
Thomas, the Sanders county politician
who was killed last month by Edith
Colby.
The complaint charges five persons
with the responsibility for the death
of Thomas, and makes them defend
ants in suit for $4,000 compensatory
damages and $4,000 punitive dam
ages.
A. S. Ainsworth, L. r. Barto, W. A.
Barto, E. d. Peek, and Wade r. Parks,
the latter prosecuting attorney of
Sanders county, are charged with the
for Thomas death, and
damages are asked from them as
owners of the publication on which
Miss Colby was employed at the time
of the shooting. The claim is made
that attacks of the paper on Thomas
melted Miss Colby's' act.
