Judge Miner viii probably make an order
in the case tomorrow
This is the result OF teud which has
existed in the Ahern family for nearly q
year. In the difficulties which have arose
the wife has had the sympathy of the
community.
Early in September Ahern had his son
John W, arrested for an alleged assault,
and the young man was fined in a
\ commissioner court. The evidence
put in at the hearing showed
that John had struck his father only after
the latter had applied vile epithets to him
and also abused his mother in a shocking
manner. Notwithstanding this fact tn e
court held that the young fellow was
wrong. and imposed a fine. Now the
father is suing the son for 1929 damages
alleged to have been sustained by him
through personal injuries received the
time OF the family jar.

A FIREMAN INJURED.
Elmer Moreton, one of the firemen at
the Central fire station was seriously in
jured while assisting in the testing of a
patent hose holder. Three of the men
one Of them being Moreton, were holding
the old nozzle with the water turned on
full force for the purpose of showing by
contrast the advantages possessed by the
patent, when the hose switched out OF
legs. The stream was turned upwards
and caught the unfortunate man in the
stomach, injuring him internally. He
was picked up and carried into the office
OF the station. Medical aid was sum-
moned and the injured man is resting
easier tonight.
SNOW SLIDE.
On Sunday afternoon the first snow
slide of the season occurred in Middle
Fork canyon. Three of Billy Wilson S
logging teams and their drivers were
caught in the slide and buried under from
five 60 twelve feet of snow. The loggers
organized and succeeded in getting the
men and one team out, more dead than
alive, but the other horses were dead.
The snow in the canyons and on the
mountains is very heavy and more slides,
some of serious proportions, may occur
before spring.
Present indications seem to point to al
most unlimited litigation over the Grant
avenue school house before the matter is
finally adjusted. The board of education
may call upon Judge Miner to make a
settlement with the contractors and ma
terial men.
REFORM SCHOOL ACCOUNTS.
Judge Woolley of Salt Lake came up to-
day and with Major Stephens, the other
member of the auditing committee of Tie
Reform school, went over the books of
the secretary and treasurer of the institu-
ticn for the year 1892. A report will be
presented at the next regular meeting of
the board, on February 9th.
A COLLAPSED COMBINE.
The ice combine which has held Ogden
in its grip for two years, went TO the wall
with crash today, and the chances are
very bright for cheap ice and plenty of it
next summer. The ice companies have a
very large crop on hand this season and
the rates will be terribly slashed. The
cause of the rupture was disagreements
between members.
A meeting of the business men of Ogden
has been called for Tuesday, the 21st. to
organize a Business Mems association.
