cently disappeared with a horse be-'
longing to Nelson Spear. has been ‘ap—

trial against two prominent citizens
whom she charged with assault. Her
alleged husband also went away with
her although it was claimed at the
time of the trial that she was not mar-
ried to the man, but was the lawful
wife of Vulentlme Storm. who is now
suing for a divorce.
The report cannot be verified at this
