Wife Lays Blame
To Hubby's Sister

Devils Lake, N. d.. Mich. g.
Dudley Smiths affection was worth
$4,000 to his wife, Mrs. Lilly
Smith. g;
At least, that is the amount she
demands from Smiths sister, Miss
Lulu Smith, whom she charges with
alienation of the mans affections.
the case is billed to come upSfor
trial at the term of district court
which Judge G. W. Buttz will open
here March 6.
Lilly. Lulu and Dudley have oc-
cupied no little attention in the
courts of this section of the state
for some time past. A year ago
Smith filed a suit for divorce
against his wife, who entered
cross bill. The court found that
Smiths intimacy with Lulu Smith.
whom he claimed was his sister.
was of such a nature as to warrant
granting the decree to the wife.
For the past twelve months there
has been a constant fight over pro-
perty division. Property in Mon
tana and mining stock near Duluth
is involved.
On account of the testimony
brought out at the divorce hearing.
it is expected the alienation Z suit
will develop into a rather sensa-
tional fight.

Not Candidate at
Present Time

4 John Burke. treasurer of the
United States, former governor of
North Dakota, will be forced into
the race for United States senator
for North Dakota at the behest of
PRESIDENT Wilson--because demo.
cratic leaders see in Burke's candi-
dacy an opportunity, for the dis
placement OF a republican senator.
That is the viewpoint accepted by
democrats throughout North Da-
kota and in fuytherance of the
scheme they will circulate petitions
asking Burke to become such can
didate. They have hopes of get
ting 10000 names on the petitions
The recent announcement by
John Brueeger. national commit
teeman. made to the state central
committee, that John Burke had
decided to enter the fight, has been
declared by Mr.. Burke to have been
untimely. In a letter to promin-
ent North Dakota democrat, Mr..
Burke says:
"Of course, it was mistake to
announce my name: 1t was en-
tire1y without authority and Mr..
Bruegger, see, has had the same
corrected. | am sincere when
say that / am not candidate, and
that I do not want to be candi-
date, unless there is a demand for
my services. / have told this to
everyone that has asked me any
thing about it.
''There is no reason in the world
why I should get into this fight on
my own account. II I go in, it
will be in responsS 20 demand
for my services, and not for the
qualification of any ambition"
With Burke's position so plainly
stated, the democrats of North Da-
kota are determined to create a
condition that will bring him in
and next November, they antici-
pate seeing the former governor
opposing the republican nominee,
whoever he may be.

Paul DobSon's Dad
Catches Pickpocket
Lifting His Diamond

A couple Of smooth pickpockets in
vaded Iowa City last Saturday appar-
entity with intentions of removing Ne
braska rooters from some of their sur
plus cash and they performed quite
successfully, until they tackled Paul
Dobson's father who had gone to
Iowa City to see his son and the
Cornhuskers trounce the Hawkeyes.
One of the dips" tried to lift ST.
900 diamond stud of Mr.. Dobson's, but
was detected and Mr.. Dobson i'm
mediately grabbed him and demanded
his property. The thief insisted in his
innocence, but, still maintaining a hold
on his prisoner, Mr. Dobson started a
search for the law. This frightened
the captured pickpockets partner who
ostensibly picked the stud up from
the floor, exclaiming why here's
your diamond"
The pickpockets had feeced some of
the Nebraska lads out of small sums
before they tried to get Mr.. Dobson's
diamond, but their failure with him
frightened them into suspending op-
erations and no more losses were re-
ported.
