friend, the Earl of Boutwell,, set out
for a. party at Holyrood, leaving
Darnley, the husband, at home SICK

Some two hours later there was q

the whole house, including Mr..
Darnley-they didn't do things by
halves in those days.

Carmel, N. Y.-The sensational
charges of the former Frances
Peaches Heenan fell flat Monday,
less than two months after she took
the stand against her husband, when
Supreme Court Justice A. H. F. Seeger
rendered decision in favor of Ed
ward West Browning, granting him
and not her a legal separation.
Justice Seeger held that Mrs.
Browning's testimony had failed to
convince him that her husband was
either abnormal, unnatural, cruel OF
inhuman."
Justice Seeger granted the separa-
tion on the ground of abandonment,
dismissing Browning's first cause OF
action of alleged cruelty. Justice
Seeger completed the nine pages OF
his decision with the words "the de-
fendant has failed to justify her con-
duct in leaving and abandoning the
plaintiff. Her counter-claim must be
dismissed and the plaintiff is entitled
to judgment of separation from his
bed and board forever"
Justice Seeger held that there was
no evidence to sustain Mrs. Brown
ing's charges against her husband.

HOlU Hayden Lost
Part of Left Hook

In the Arizona Republican recently,
in the 40 Years Ago" column, was
an explanation Of how United States
Senator Hayden lost finger Of his
left hand. The item follows:
carl Hayden, 9-year-old son of
Charles r. Hayden, on Saturday eve
ming last at Tempe got hold of a giant
cartridge and while picking it as he
held it between his thumb and fore
finger of his left hand, it exploded,
completely wrecking the forefinger,
also the joint Of the thumb and badly
damaging the second finger and the
bones of the hand.
Sheriff Halbert came along in his
buggy just at that moment and the
boy was put in and brought to Phoe-
nix for surgical treatment. 1t was
found necessary to ,amputate the fore
finger and the end of the thumb. The
second finger may possibly be saved." "
