two OF which the prayer of the plaintiffs
was granted and the third was given ten
days to file an amended complaint.
SHE DESERTED HIM.
John S. Cox asked for divorce from
his wife, Elizabeth Cox, on the grounds
o. desertion. The plaintiff alleged that
they were married in Salt Lake Jan. L,
1856, and the parties lived together only
seven weeks when Mrs. Cox went to New
Zealand to see her parents and did not
return to this country for two and one
half years, but even then she did not re-
turn to her husband, who alleges that he
had never seen her since the time she first
left him.

her2" queried Mr.. Morse.

FAITHLEss JOHN.
enna Bonan berger Us. John II. Bonan-
berger, another n1isfit couple, had their
marriage annulled. The parties were
married at indianapolis on Nov. 27, 1885.
Mrs. anberger alleged that her hus
cand was skilled candy maker aud
earned $40 a week and that they lived
happily together until June, 1892, when
the defendant began devoting his atten-
ton and speeding his money on another
lady and SINCE that date had failed to con-
tribute anything to the support of his
VIE and that she had been
obliged to earn ner own living.
The defendant admitted most Of the
allegations, the chief point of contention
being as to The amount Of alimony. The
temporary alimony had been previously
fixed by the court at S. week, but the
osfeuse thought that these hard times $40
a month would be enough.
Mrs. Bonanberger said that her hus-
band owned real estate in Council Bluffs |
TO the value OF 81 800, but this was de-
MED. His honor granted decree of di-
vorce, permanent alimony of $40 month
and 500 attorneys fees. First payment
OF alimony to be made on that basis on
September 1st.

complaint was found defective in the |
light OF a recent action on the part of the !
defendant, ten days. time was given to |
amend. 1t is understood that the plaintiff !
will ask for permanent alimony and at |
torney's fees at the cost of the defendant. |

ADVICE NOT GIVEN GRATIS.
United States District Attorney Judd I
asked the advice of the court with refer
ence to a point in dispute between coun-
sci in the case OF The bonds of Harry
Hammond. Counsel mentioned that the |
doubt had arisen upon section 5169, sub |
section 2, from which he read. His own /
contention before the commissioner was
that whenever the bail was fixed it did |
not matter how many sureties were |
offered SO that the amount required was
made up, but each surety must be worth |
the penalty OF the bond, so that each one /
should be answerable TO the people or the
government for the full amount, and |
that, as between themselves, the court !
might allow them to undertake for less |
amount than the penalty bond.
Attorney Waite was about to reply .
when Judge Zane declined to express an /
opinion at this time. lie referred the |
case TO Commissioner Pratt he said, to |
take the bond, and he should not now at
tempt to dictate TO him. Hewould, how !
ever, consider the point when the case /
came before this court in regular order.
HIS honor did not wish TO have objections |
brought up there in this irregular way.
MORE CONTEMPT.
This was the day set for sentence upon |
Banker George Z. Whitmore, recently |
ndludged guilty of contempt of court in |
regard TO the removal of the water box.
about which so much has been said and |
written. The defendant was present: so
also were Attorney Varian, representing +
the complainant, L. G. Scott Elliott. and !
Attorney Arthur Brown, the defendants |

sence of a witness professor Brooks) /
