Southwest, inhabitants themselves Of the cactus

the veriest weed, but It may well be that 1t may
prove Of great value to the troops in the absence

There are some thousand varieties of this mon
strous vegetable family, not counting the 800 va

vegetation known to the arid region have the same
faculty Of sucking up from the soil every drop of

OF the many varieties perhaps the most remark
able is that member Of the family known to those

plant is shaped somewhat like q beer key and is
about the same size. Through all the years Of its

STRATTON WIDOW CASE
MRS. SOPHIA GERTRUDE cHEL.

Judge Kinney, After Hearing Evi.
dence Decides that Claimant
Was Not Widow of Stratton.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Colorado Springs.-The case of Mrs.
Sophia Gertrude Chellew, who several
years ago started suit for half of the
estate of Winfield Scott Stratton, late
multimillionaire mining king, was
thrown out of court by County Judge
w. P. Kinney at the conclusion OF
several days of evidence. He declared
hls decision that the claimant was not
the widow of Stratton, according to
the testimony given by witnesses.
His specific findings were:
That from Dec. 81, 1873, to Jan. 2,
1874, Stratton was in or near Colo
RADIO Springs, and not in Texas, where
Mrs. Chellew claims he was.
That A. N. Poor, first husband of
Mrs. Chellew, died in 1875, and that
therefore the claimant was Mrs. Poor
at the time she claims to have mar
ried Stratton:
That the claimant was not married
to Stratton Jan. 1, 1874, in Texas, as
set forth in her complaint
Judge Kinney's decision ends the
suit as far as his court is concerned
unless an appeal Is taken, which is
not expected.
