DOINGS OF THE DENTONS.

A Week- End Development.

It looks as if the Court will yet hear more of the Denton divorce case, Judging by events which took place at the last week-end. It appears that the respondent m the case has been staying at the New i Zealander Hotel, but as her boar* was ! not paid up she was asked to leave. The lady m the case then betook herself/ back to her old home at Kllbirnio to Interview her former husband who, she alleges, Is well behind m his maintenance payments. She found the good, man at home and edged her way m. Denton fearing It was an attempt to secure condonation evidence, attempted to put her out, but he failed, and he was no more successful when he enlisted the services of a neighbor. He then left the lady m chargo of the happy homo and went to a neighbor's telephone and communicated with hi? lawyer. Mr. O. C. Mazengarb. The latter advised ringing up the police, which course was acted upon. 1 nnrl the It-gal light also hurried to the scene. All efforts to pacify Mrs. Denton an* get her to leave wore unsuccessful, but nhe agreed to communicate with her lawyer. Mr. Moir. of Flndlay an-1 Molr. The latter could do nothing for her, so shu rang the Inspector of Polico, who advised her to ring him again when the police arrived and he would call off his men. Meanwhile Lawyers O'Lcary an> T.nlcpwter wero also sooken to on the •phone, but they took up the same i\ttiti'rir> ni lawyer Moir and kept In the background. When our reporter left the scene the Indy was stilt inside, but it m ur.dnrstood a compromlHO was arrived at by the husband telephoning the publican and guaranteeing to pay the board money due.
