HILL AGAIN SUED
 IN DIVORCE COURT
Son Of Railroad Magnate Named
 by Newest Wife

Livingston Mont, Nov. 2G P- Another divorce action, the third in the stormy marital career of Walter Hill, youngest son of the late James J. Hill, railroad magnate. was re- corded in district court here today
 In the divorce suit Yrs. Hill sought to obtain 5000 temporary alimony, $5,0O0 monthly permanent alimony, $35,OQO attorneys fees, and S750,000 set aside from the huge Hill estate for redress pending set tlcment of the suit.
 Papers Soon Concealed
 Although the papers in the case were immediately withdrawn from the court files and Mrs. Hilfs attor- ncNs refused to divulgc their con- tents, James F. O'Conner. attorney for the Hill interests declared they contained certain allegations that would not pass unchallenged"
 Among the grounds known to be named in the complaint was that MT. Hill's attitude toward liquor
 
 tiff.
 With the filing Of the divorce complaint it appeared the third TO- nance of the son of James J. Hill. known for his works in the north west as "The Empire Builder" was ended. Walter Hill married Mildred Richardson, characterized by Flor
  duccr, as "a perfect American beau ty." just 10 minutes after he ob- 'taincd a divorce from his second wife, Pauline Gillison Hill. That was on May IS. 1927.
 Father is Fnancicr
 Mrs. Hill's father is W. Eari Rich ardsOn, Saskatchewan financicr.
 Before the present divorce suit there was another breach in the TO- nance of the FOllies beauty and the wealthy Wosterner. In October, 1927, just five months after their mar riage, Mrs. Hill lied suit in Butte asking separation. The complaint declared that while Hill had the manners of "a Park avenue bouIe- vardier," since the wedding he had been "Wild as the Montana scenery" The suit was dropped when a recon cliation was effected.
 Although the Hills made their home at the elaborate Goat Noun tain Ranch, north of here, Hill had the top floor of a Livingston hotel romodelcd into sumptuously fur nishod home suite.
 Pauline GilliSon Hill received. un- der the terms of her divorce, $25.- O0O in cash. another payment of $25,00o within five years and S1,o00 month for the remainder of her life.
