 This came as a surprice, as only last Thursday the Woolworth heir ess, her fortune estimated to be as high as $42,000,0 ,000, had issued another of her many denials that her marriage was near a breakup.
 Just why she is divorcing the Prince, whom she married in Paris on June 20, 1883, the brief an- nouncement did not say.

 in Sedttle for Mortgage

SEATTLE, March 18-Two apart ments owned by Andrew Bahr, TO- year-old Laplander, who has just completed a fiv e-year reindeer drive across northern Alaska to northwestern Canada, were sold Saturday to satisfy mortgage claims.
 The buildings were bid in at $62,784 by the Prevalent Mutual Life Insurance Company of Phila- delphia, which held the mortgage.
 Superior Court Judge Roscoe R. Smith declined to grant a tempor- ary injunction to stay the proceed ings until Bahr's expected arrival here two weeks hence.
 Bahr's attorney, Edward D. Phe- Ian, said the buildings represented his clients entire life savings. He also said that he would attempt to have the sale set aside again when he argues for permanent injunc- ton.
 At any event, Phelan said, Bahr will have years time in which to redeem the property.
 Meanwhile, Mayor Charles l.. Smith has set aside April as An drew Bahr Day, to honor him for his heroic drive of the animals to save starving natives near the mouth of the Mackenzie River. Bahr is reported as making his way to a Yukon Territory outpost from where he will be flown out to Seattle.
