WEALTHY MEM BREAK INTO
COURT FOLLOWING A SOUTH
DAKOTA DIVORCE
EX-HUSBAND SEEKS REDRESS
l'li-si-iil Husband . loyal Defendant
of His "Wife's Good —Beauty
Known Abroad and
nt Home.
Henry M. Flagler, of Standard Oil, Is
dedendant ,11 a suit in the supreme court
of the Rtate of New York, tin- plaintifS
being E. C. Foote, who demands $100,009
damages Cor the alienation of the affec
tions of his wife, Helen, according to a
New York special to the Chicago Record-
Herald.
Tn the same court Mr. Foote has"
brought suit for divorce from his wife.
He names as co-respondents Henry ML,
Flagier, John H. Maiden and J. O'Han
non.
Mrs. Foote married Mr. O'Bannon after
obtaining a South Dakota divorce, the
validity of which is now attacked. Maiden
has lon-.: been an admirer of Mrs. Foote-
O'ltannon. from whom he received many
favors, one of which brought him $20,0 0
and a stilt to recover an additional sum
of $IS,St:R.TS from Mr. Flagler. Maiden
served six months in the Tombs, and he j
loudly asserts that the law was pervert- i

ed for the purpose of bringing about bis
humiliation. v *-yv_;->
The woman, whose affections Mr. Flag
ler is alleged to have alienated from her
husband, is ►out twenty-eight years old.
Her beauty of face and figure cannot be
denied. Slue lias bad a host of admirers,
and her toilets have created a sensation
in Paris and in London as often as in
New York.
• Mr. Foote is an agent in an express of
fice net far from New York. He has
made the assertion that he is seeking
nothing more than justice and vindica
tion, and it is understood that he has
promised to devote to charity any sum
that Mr. Flagler may be compelled to pay
him. •:■-•>; i.-i.;.
It was not many years ago that Helen
M. Long was the acknowledged bell- of
I hrncctady. Her beauty was the boast'
of her friends, and her grace of manner
and Ik wit were In keeping with her j
beauty, in her train of attendants were
young men of position higher than her
own and of great wealth. But out of all
who worshiped at her shrine she chose
Edward C. Foole. He was without social
position, and his capital consisted of a
char head and two hands, strong and'
willing.
Quite a nine days' wond-cr resulted when
pretty Helen Long was married to Ed- i
ward Foote. There had been no an-1
nouncement of the engagement, and there !
was to be found those who hesitated not j
to say that Helen had literally thrown '
herself away.
At the urgent request of his wife Mr.
Foot-.- moved to New York, and there her
beauty attracted the same attention that
it had in the smaller city. In some man
ner Helen Foote became acquainted with i
Henry M. Flagler. It ruts been said by j
a former friend of Mrs. Foote that the '
aged millionaire first saw her as she sat !
in a box at the Metropolitan opera house,
and. being attracted, obtained an intro- j
duction. i
It miitte*r*- little how the acquaintance!
began. Helen Foote soon came to look !
upon Mr. Flagler as her basinets adviser. \
She followed his instructions to her great !
monetary advantage. • j
In the meantime Mrs. Foote's parents
came to New York, opening a boarding :
house here. Among others who lived j
With them was John H. Maiden, known I
to his intimates as -Handsome Jack." j
Ho was employed as a clerk in the New |
York Central offices at the Grand Central
station. - . .;.-»*:.-. j
Quarrel followed* quarrel between Mr. I
and Mrs. Foote, and it was only a short
time after her parents came to New York
before Helen returned to live with them. '
She had previously become acquaint
with Maiden, and it is now saM th it she!
was Influenced in leaving ncr home by j
the Infatuation which she had for him. j
Maiden has told that he was as mich !
In love with Mrs. Foot* as she was with '
him. Plans were made for a divorce, and ;
Maiden says that they expected to marry
as soon as Helen was legally separated
from her husband. j
It baa been told by Maiden that he '
trusted Mrs, Fo te as impl^-itly as her!
nusband had. and that his susp clons con
cerning her were not arjused until one
day she produced a crisp and new $1,000
bill. She invi-ed h'm to go with her to
spend it. saying that her life at home
was so distasteful that she had determin
ed to lake a Hat and furnish it for her
self, where she would be free from her
pair nts, as well as from her husband.
Maiden could not understand this pro
ceeding, for the reason that Mrs. j Foote
ha f equently complained of her pover
ty-stiicken condition and from time to
time bad borrowed small sums from
him. :,**-"-.
.Maiden and Mrs. Foote, it is said, did
go and spend the $1,000 in furnishing
apartments in the- Clarence hats. In
Fast Fifty-eighth street. The first tr-ou- !
panel was followed by another and t_en !
still more money was spent, until tha
apartments were furnished in a n.anne.*
that made Maiden eyes open with as
tonishment.
he:-,- the money came from wMch
so suddenly changed Mrs. Fec-te's el -
cumstanccs of life Is not known.',, Mr.
Foote. In his suits recently filed In to
supreme court of the rtate of New Vo k,
makes the allegation Oat Mr. Flagl.-r ]
was the author of his w'fe's v«rospD*:tv.
Hi charges that Mr Flagler gave to Mrs.
Foote cash or equivalent In ma t-ble
•ecuriUes. notably Standard Oil certlfl-
cates, to the amount of ' $400,000. He also (
. alleges that Mr. Flagler gave to Mrs.
Foote a valuable residence in East Fifty
seventh street,, near MadJsor. avenue.
This house still stands in the name of I
Mrs. Foote, how known as Mrs. O'Ban- I
non, and it is said that the tenant.who
occupies it pays her an annual rental !
Of $4,200. . . -
Mis. Foote even after she became the
possessor of the Fifty-seventh-street
house, chose to live in the apartments
which she had so cwily furnished in
East Fifty-eighth street.
She Is said to have made at least three
trips to Europe. In London and in Paris |
she spent money in a manner so lavish
that it was evident that she considsred :
the source frem ' which she drew to be ,
Inexhaustible. Her gowns are said to ]
have been creations which well might
have been envied by princesses.
Those were the halcyon days, too, for
"Handsome Jack" Maiden. He now says
that Mrs. Foote so frequently urged him j
to forsake his clerkship, assuring him
that it was not I necessary for him to j
work, that he finally consented to do so. ;
Continuing to enjoy the favor of Helen
Foote, he was able to enlarge his de
mands for his own .comfort, and little by
little he cultivated tastes which he had |
not known when he first came to New i
York from his country home in Vermont. :
Maiden made a trip to Europe at the !
same time Mrs. Foote took one of her !
trips abroad. They were often seen to- j
gether in London and in Paris, and their \
devotion to one another was remarked j
u<on. .'■.'-;
Maiden, on the other hand, says that j
he raised objections to the attentions
showered by Mr. Flagler upon the wom
an who had promised to marry him.
However this may be. Maiden must have
succeeded In blunting his own sensibili
ties, because it Is a matter of record
that he did not hesitate to accept from i
Mrs. Foote a certificate for seventy-five
shares of Standard Oil stock, which |
would now be worth $117,500. It was this j
certificate that finally dropped Maiden •
Into a suit against Mr. Flagler, but that
suit was not originated until after Mai- '
den, during a year of proffllgacy, had j

spent the $20,000 which was paid to him
for the certificate by' Mr. . Flagler."
On record in the office of the clerk of
Westchester county, at White Plains, are
all the papers in a suit brought by John
H. Maiden to recover $18,868.75, the differ
ence between the $20,000 he had received
md the value of tho shares, with Interest
from Henry M. Flagler. "Helen M. Long
appeared as co-defendant with Mr. Fla
gler. The summons and complaint In
the action were served in November, 1899
The case was finally brought to trial be
fore Judge Martin J. Keogh and a fury '
in June. ISOO, at which rime Maiden was
Serving a sentence of. six 'months in the
Tombs. As Maiden could not apo«ar to
prosecute the case, judgment was taken
by default, with costs.
According to the testimony taken at the
time of,this trial. Maiden' received Ihe
Standard Oil certificate en June 19 IS'»3
from "Helen M. Long," who was' the*
living at the Plaza hotel. Maiden, it Is
said, went to the offices of the Stand
ard Oil company, at No. 26 Broadway
demanding that the shares be transferred
on the books to his name, and that a cer
tif'C-ate be issued to him. He asserted
that he- had been persuaded to lea*,*' 'lie
certiflc-te with the company until further
notice. ■*> ..._.- - ; .>-7-,
Maiden declared finally that Henry M
Flagler offered to pay him $5,000. This of
fer was increased to $10,000. then to $15,030
and finally to $20,000, which offer Maiden
says he accepted, fearing if he did not
do so that he would lose all.
Mr. Flagler denied all these allega
tions. At tho time of the hearing in
Westchester county "F_len M. Long,'.'
or Mrs. Foote, was in Europe, but before
leaving Now York she made deposition
that, while dining with Maiden he placed
the certificate in his pocket. Later they
took a drive through Central park, and
she foteot to get it back, and leturned to
her luTme without it. .-. ■
The next day Maiden refused to re
turn the security, to her until she had
given Ja.OOO to him. in accordance with a
piornise she l ad made to s.art him ln bus
iness Mrs. Foote received from Henry
M. Flagler, when he had settled with
Maiden. twenty-five share.-, of Standard
Oil stock and a check for $2,000
Having received $20,000 in cash from
Mr. Flagler- instead of going into busi
ness, Maiden started on a course of d <•
sipatlon which made Broadway tin- '"'he
money lasted him less than a year', and
he finally wound up with one wild" soree
during which he gave two checks for *20
each, one to Samuel W. Martin a res
taurant keeper; the other to Frederick
Pitney, a livery stable man. Both
checks were dishonored, and. though
Maiden produced the money to take them
up. he was brought to trial and sent to
the lombs for six months.
T Mr. Flagler went to Palm Beach, Fla
His wife had been in an unsound mental
condition for many years. A bill wis
recently pushed through the Florida [leg
islature making insanity proper ground
for a divorce, It has been said that Mrs
Foote believed-, that Mr. Flagler would
obtain, a divorce and would take her to
wife. She went to Sioux Falls, S. D
and after living there six. norths, obtain!
Ed a divo-ce from her husband, E C
Foote, on the ground of abandonment. '
After returning to New York however,
Mrs. Foot,- who had lesumed her maiden
name of Helen M. Long, saw very little
of Mr. Flagler. Among her other ad
mirers had been Mr. J O'Bannon, said to
be a man of Independent wealth, engaged
In the schoolbook supply business lr- this
city. They • were married about six
months ago. and have since lived in their
home in this city. Mr. O'Bannon is a
loyal defender of his wife's good name
and is convinced that Mrs. O Bannon's
South Dakota divorce will be recognized
by the New York courts.
OWNERSHIP IN EAGLES
Respected Among- die Puchlo Indi
an!* jss Property i_itts.
Among the Pueblo Indians of New Mex
ico and Arizona there is a property right
in eagles. Each clan claims ownership
in several eagle nests, which may or may
not bt near the place where the "clan
lives, says the Chicago Chronicle.. When
the nests are distant from the villages
where tho Indians claiming them live, it
has been found that the ancestois of these
Indians tun.'- in former years from the
localities where the nests now are, and
they point to the fact that these nests
are theirs as proof that they also,.by In
heritance, own the land round about
them. > • ; .
Driven into new locations by maraud
ing Navajos and Utes, these Pueblo In
dians have steadily contracted their oc
cupied territory, but they s6UI visit the
old nests, as their forefathers visited

is the Indian's eagle.
When an Indian visits one of his nests
to secure a bird he does not take all of
the young, but leaves some, so that the
bred - may be perpetuated. Returning
home with his eaglet, he strips it of Its
feathers and kills it. , The body of the
eagle Is not thrown on the rubbish heap,
but is burled in a special eagle burying
ground. The ancient Pueblo Indians used
to keep parrots as domestic birds,. prob
ably only for their feathers, which were
used in decorations for religious services.
These parrots -they obtained by barter
with the Mexicans to the south of them.
