Mrs. Mary A. Morgan, who obtained a divorce from her husband before Judge Bean in Benton county, Oregon, March 28, 1880, now sues her former husband for half his property, $250,000. Dr. John M. Morgan, who is a pioneer citizen of Spokane and one of the largest property owners in the town of Denver, came to the Pacific northwest in the early times. His previous history is a little obscure, but rumors have gone out and he has never contradicted them, that he is a relative of John Morgan, the famous rebel raider, and that he was a member of Mosby's band of guerillas.
