MRS. RAE B. CARTER DIVORCED
FROM HER HUSBAND
FAIRBANKS—Mrs. Rae R. Carter
has been granted an absolute divorce
from her husband, Fred Carter. The1
decree was granted March 27th.
The grounds for the divorce were
cruel and inhuman treatment, adui-1
tery. etc. It was not necessary for Mrs.
Carter to introduce half the testimony
she had. the case being so plainly
against the accused.
There was a fight over the valuable
mining interests Mrs. Carter owns at
Ituby and on Flat Creek, and which
she has leased to the Guggenheims.
She was ready to prove, however, that
it was all hers—that her husband had
dissipated all his share in the property
-and he was glad to settle for less
than it would have post her in attorney
fees to fight to hold her property, far
ter went outside on the last stage as
guard for. prisoners and Mrs Carter is
leaving soon for the lower country to
look after her interests there.
YPRES OFFENSIVE OF THE
BERMANS RESULT OF SCARE
PARIS, May 2*.—The French War
Office declares that late discoveries
indicate that the entire Herman center
and also the southern wing are little
more than skirmish lines, having but
a meagre number of soldiers owing to
the withdrawal of many thousand men
who have been rushed to the Ypres
section. The remaining troops are de
dared to be solidly Intrenched and |
backed by heavy batteries of artillery |
and madiine guns enabling them to
withstand a heavy attack. It is the
opinion of members of the military I
staff that the fierce German attacks in
the Ypres section are caused by the
enemy becoming seriously alarmed at
the steady and persistent advance of
General french who has been making i
short but continual advances since j
the opening of spring which have col j
lecttvelj forced the Germans bark for
some miles along the entire front.
