Mrs. Manore; elaims $5,000 damages, and in her com- plaint makes many serious charges against Miss Howard. ; In 1887 Miss Howard established an Indian mission school on the Crow Creek and Winnebago reservation. Af- ter the first two years the school! was transformed into a government con- tract school. Her contract with the government did not expire until June of this year, but at the solicitation: of friends she decided early in the year to withdraw from its management. The bitter fight waged in congress against contract schcols had consid- erable influence in her decision, an@ she sold to the government, shortly thereafter buying a cattle ranch west of here on the White river, aud em- barked in the stock business. In her complaint Mrs. Manore states that since November, 1894, she and her husband were employed by Miss Howard at Grace mission, and resided there until July. 1896, when she left, but Manore continued to reside there. She alleges that during 1896 she be- came aware of a growing imtimacy be- tween her husband and Miss Howard, and a marked change in the eonduct of her husband toward her. Various acts between Manore and Miss Howard, tending to a suspicion of immoral rela- tions, are alleged, and they are charged with now living together in open de- fiance of law. Plaintiff says that the conduct: of the defendant has broken both her health and spirits, and that she is now thrown upon the charity of friends, She therefore asks $5,000. Cc. C. Morrew and John A. Stroube, attorneys for the defendant, have just tiled answer to all this. Miss Howard denies any familiarity with Manore, and also denies every other allegation of the sensational and severe com- plaint. The case will be tried next month.
