TWO MORE FAILURES
The Divorce Mill in Full Blast
at Provo.
THE PETERsENs' PECULIAR CASE
Flimsy Grounds Upon Which the Court Was
Asked to Split the blanket-Mrs.
Larsen More Fortunate.

The First district court opened at 10
o'clock yesterday, Judge Blackburn on the
bench.
In the case of B. Dorger ct al. VS.. ST. V.
LaSieur costs were retaxed.
The case of Mary F. Peterson VS.. Laren
Peterson, divorce, developed considerable
interest. The plaintiff sues for severance
of the marriage ties on grounds OF deser-
ton and failure to provide the necessaries
of life.
Mrs. Mary Peterson halls from Tennes-
see, where she had another half who OBJ
tanned divorce from her on grounds
which were incidentally thrown before the
court, and which is said by the defense to
be adultery, although her own statement
alleges that of difference Of opinion on
questions of religion. She came to Utah
under the solicitation of Mr.. Saunders,
q missionary, and took up her abode
in Spanish Fork, where she
met Mr.. Peterson. After short courtship
they set out for the temple city in Sanpete
and were married. This was in 1889. Upon
their return to Spanish Fork Mary testiries
| to neglect on the part of Soren to put up
enough cash for her support and relates a
|
humor her appetite for oranges and alcohol,
etc. She acknowledges that the same Mr..
Saunders induced her to come to Salt Lake
where she made her home, renting rooms
and doing various kinds of work. The wit
ness recognized papers showing money she
had received from the defendant while
there. Witnesses were introduced to
bolster up case of neglect and failure
to provise, but the Judge chopped the case
OF by stating that upon her own testimony
there were no grounds for divorce. The
fact Of her having abandoned her former
husband initiated against her, and she
was told to 60 back to Peterson and try te
behave herself.
The costs were assessed to the defen-
dant. Arthur Brown represented the de-
tense.
The case of Louise Larsen VS.. Paul Lar
sen, divorce, was called. The plaintiff TOOK
the ground of cruelty and failure to sup
port and asked temporary alimony to the
amount of $3.50 and SIS costs. The defense
asked that the amount of alimony be re
ducsd on account of the humble circum
stances Of the client The court ordered
that the defendant pay SIS costs and sri
alimony and attorney fees.

case has not yet been named

JACK THE RIPPER.

Lawson Tait's theory expounded to re-

will tell you why. On the discovery of one
the murders the police promptly made the
circuit round the neighborhood; nobody
was arrested, or rather no man was ar
rested. They did not look for q woman.
How could woman have so cieverly COM
mitted the deeds 1t must be clearly under

be thoroughly splashed with the blood. 1t
would be impossible to hack and hew a
warm body in ripper fashion without
getting all over blood. A man
who thus besmeared himself could
not possibly have got clear away.
The thing would be perfectly easy for
woman. Conceive the murder done and
the woman is splashed. All she has to do
is to roll her skirts to the waist, leaving
her petticoat, fold up her shawl and tuck
it in her middle, and then she might pass
through a crowd with very slight risk OF
detection. Then as to washing the blood
dyed garments, how is man to pour away
the bloodwater undetected A woman is
always at the washtub and she would put
the clothes in cold water, where, with a
little soap and rubbing, they would become
clean, practically unstain ned, and she would
be unsupported"

Cleveland VIII be the Standard Bearer, Says
an Old Democrat

an UlQ Uem0crat
To the Editor OF THE HERALD.
Since ex-President Cleveland's declara-
ton against free and unlimited coinage in
his Cooper Union address has engendered
SO much comment, it may not be out of
place for an old western Democrat to note
q few facts which we, in our sagerness for
more money, ere liable to overlook.
First, we notice that Mr.. Cleveland was
always opposed to free, unlimited and in
dependent coinage Of silver regardless of
national lines. That there are two sides to
this silver question none can doubt.
One admirable trait of character in Mr..
Cleveland is, he is truthful and will ex-
press his opinion fully and freely though it
keep him from the pre- sidency. And while
this is trne, the great statesman is just as
true to his party as he is to his conviction
of right. If Mr.. Cleveland should be
chosen as standard bearer of the great
Democratic party in 1892 (Which he will be
if he lives), and is elected President OF

ADVENTURES OF ONTARIO GIRLS
WHILE BATHING.
How Young Man Offended His Best
Girl-Young Women Who Have to Go
Home in Their Bathing Costumes
Truthful PETERS, y Story.

There is young man at Ontario who
is in serious trouble with his best girl,
as Truthful Peter" relates as follows in
the Ontario Observer:
"Not long since the zaniero OF water
company doing business not one hum
dred miles from Ontario was much
troubled in spirit because of the many
and successful attempts of the youth of
his neighborhood to convert his COM
pany's reservoirs into rival bathing re-
sorts to sanity Long Beach and pie
beian Santa Monica. Not that he OBJ
jected to his own district attaining a
reputation similar to that Of those far
famed watering places. Oh, mo-! The
fact was, there were people who lived on
the pipe lines below some Of the said
reservoirs who objected to imbibing
water from swimming bath. How
/. eyer, our zanjero vowed vengeance on
the first offender whom he should catch
in hagrante delictu, and this is what
happened:
early, he was driving past one of the
reservoirs under his care, and which as
yet supplies no human habitations.
The banks are high around the reser-
voir, 80 that our zanjero could not see
therein. II he could but have done so,
what vision of beauty (or rather two)
would he have gazed upon But then
this tale would not have been told.
But man is short-sighted and full of
cussedness. Our zanjero is eagle-eyed,
and noticed, amid clump of bushes,
some female wearing apparel. Like
fash he grasped the situation-there
were women in the reservoir-he would
arrest them! No, on second thought,
he guessed not, he hated to have trouble
with women. Hah bright idea, he'd
hide those clothes. No sooner was the
resolution made than put into effect.
He carried the clothes off some distance
and carefully secreted them in the
brush, then regaining his cart, with
fiendish chuckle he drove off as fast
as his horse would carry him. Now,
our zanjero is handsome young
fellow, and, like most handsome young
men, he had best girl. People have
said that this one is the loveliest of her
sex in San Bernardino valley, and that,
you know, is saying great deal. This
pest OF girls has brother, then, a great
friend of the zanjero's, and on the morn
ing OF our tale the zanjero and he met.
Our zanjero in due time related his great
joke on two unknown females, and both
were merry thereat. About the same
time, two handsome young ladies in
very becoming bathing costumes might
have been seen, wandering despairingly
and with tear-stained cheeks amidst the
bushes and scrub near reservoir, ,vainly
seeking the garments usually considered
necessary for two-mile walk over a
public highway. s. -.
"That night the zanjero called at the
residence of his fiancee, but was not ad-
mitted. The brother, in spite of long
friendship, threatens to use shotgun
on him, and the marriage of the zanjero
will not prove failure this summer, for
it will not be consummated."
