Mrs. Stillnan Delayed
BY Blizzard in Canada
Forced to Give Up Trip to
Grand Anse in Search for
Divorce Witnesses

MONTREAL, Jan. 4.-Mrs. Anne L.
Stillman's game of hide and seek with
Canadian weather turned against her
again to-day. when, heading for the
second time toward her summer camp
at Grand Anse, she ran into a blizzard
that threatens the success of her
roundup of witnesses to oppose her
husbands divorce action in New York.
Mrs. Stillman started to-day for
Three Rivers and Grand Piles, whence
she was driven back to Montreal on
Monday by temperature of 40 degrees
below zero. Grand Piles is the Jump
lng-otf place for snowshoe tramp or
sleigh trip to Grand Anse, some thirty
miles further north.
Unless the severity of the weather
modifies, it is thought Mrs. Stillman
viii not be able to continue on to the
camp whore her eldest son, James
c'Bud'D Stillman. is carrying on the
work of witness hunting with the as
slstance Of Fred Beauvais, the Indian
guide named as correspondent by James
"A. Stliman. New York banker.
Mrs. Stillman has pinned her faith to
the success of her efforts around Grand
Anse, in the neighborhood Of vAich
live most of the witnesses who test \ad
IN former hearings as to Mrs. Sill
mans alleged relations with Beauyais.
In statement before leaving Mon
treal Mrs. Stillman said she had grown
very fond of this part Of Canada and
hoped to spend more time here in the
future
