TO Avoid Paving Alimony.


TO Avoid Paying Alimony.
NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-Charles Maubec,
the wealthy wine merchant and member
of the firm Of Carpey & Maubec of this
city and San Francisco, has refused to
comply with the decree of the court of
common pleas, which awarded his wife,
Mary, divorce and ordered him to pay
her alimony of $3.50 a month and counsel
fee of 81 900. The decree of the court re-
quired him to give bond of $4,000 for
the payment of monthly alimony nd this
he has neglected to furnish.
1t is charged that soon after the decree
was granted Maubec left the city and
went to New Orleans, in order to avoid
the consequences of his refusal to com ply
with the decree of the court. An applIca-
ton was made for the appointment of a
receiver of the property of Maubec in pro-
ceedings for its sequestration. in order to
satisfy the claim of the wife for alimony
and that of the counsel for his fees. AS
there was no opposition to the motion, it
was granted.

The sixth annual state Sunday school
convention for Montana will be held in
the city of Helena, June 1920, 1895. Every
effort will be put forth by the executive
committee to make this the most notable
Sunday school gathering ever held in the
state. William Reynolds of Illinois, the
international state organizer, will be pres
sent, and negotiations are in progress by
means of which it is expected to secure
one of the most prominent Sunday school
normal instructors in the country. In adj
dItion to this the very best local talent the
state can afford will be engaged. The
prominent idea of the convention will be
that of training teachers for more efi-
Gent service. With a place of meeting
accessible from all parts of the state, and
an unusually attractive programme. IL is
confidently believed that a sufficiently
large delegation can be obtained to secure
reduced rates on the railroads. Let every
one interested in Sunday schools look for
ward TO this as the event of the year and
at once begin to plan for attendance.

GONE TO THE JURY.
THE HAGUE CASE EVIDENCE
NOW BEING CONSIDERED.
Twelve Good Men and True Retired
to Their Room at Four o'clock
Yesterday, But Had Returned No
Verdict Up to an EARLY Hour
This Morning.

PROVO, Nov. 20.-This morning
Judge Henderson delivered the closing
argument for the defense in the Alma
Hague case. He made an earnest,
logical argument, carefully going over
each feature of the case, showing that
there was no evidence whatever to
show that Alma Hague had forged the
Ingram Bros. note or any of the notes
introduced in evidence, and this case
hinged entirely upon the question OF
Mr.. Hague's innocence or guilt of the
forgery of the Ingram Bros. note.
Judge Henderson talked for nearly
two hours.
Judge Judd closed for the prosecu-
ton and made lengthy argument, re-
viewing the evidence and calling at
tention to the entries ON the books and
the confessions of defendant. which he
claimed wove a net of guilt around de-
PENDANT so strong that no evidence OF
previous good character and no villifi-
cation of the prosecution or eloquence
by the counsel for the defense could
overcome.
At the conclusion of Judge Judd's re
marks, the court instructed the jurors
who retired about o'clock. No yer
diet is looked for tonight.

over from Payson this morning and
placed in the county Jail, to await the
action of the grand jury, in default or
$500 bonds. on charge of rape. City
Marshal Ballard, of Payson, brought
the prisoner over. Mr.. Ballard says
that Monday evening Booth, who is a
man about 20 years of age and resi-
dent of Salem, was going to his home
from Payson. On the road near Pay
son is the home of Mrs. Rosina Fret,
woman about So years of age, where
she lives with her four children. Booth
got off his horse and went to the house,
where he met Mrs. Fret outside of the
house. and by threats and force accom-
plished the offense which he is charged
with. The screams of Mrs. Fret and
the children brought neighbors to the
house before Booth had left, but he
succeeded in mounting his horse and
escaping. Neither Mrs. Fret nor the
neighbors knew him. but Marshal Bal
lard went to Salem yesterday and from
descriptions given him succeeded in
finding the right person. who was ia
ken before Justice Barnett, of Payson,
where he pleaded guilty. and was
bound over to await the action of the

Last evening q number of boys and
men gathered around the Payson jail,
having first sent a boy to tell Booth
that about 500 men We're coming to
lynch him. The prisoner was very
badly frightened and his appeal for
mercy and aid aroused the neighbor-
hood for blocks around, and caused
Marshal Ballard to proceed to the Jail
to investigate the cause of the noise
The crowd dispersed as soon as asked
to do so by the marshal. and he does
not believe that the men had any other
intention than to brighten the prisoner
Booth claims that he does not re.

plains that he was drinking at the
| time.

ELKINS' LAND SUIT.
The Charges Made By the Plaintiff
Against the Senator.

NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-The hearing
of suit in which VIM. C. Reeves sues
United Stakes Senator Stephen B. Ell
kins. of West Virginia, to recover an
interest GAINED by him in certain lands
i'll New Mexico, and also for an ac-
counting, was commenced today before
Judge Patterson in the special term of
the supreme court 1t is claimed by the
plaintiff that in 1871, Mr.. Elkins pur-
chased some land in New Mexico, in
which the plaintiff was to have an in
terest Of one-third, and that a deed to
mat erect was executed, under which
his interest in the land was to be held in
trust by him for the defendant. Mr.. Ell
kins, he alleges, has sold a portion of
the land, and has received a consider
able amount from its sale, for which he
has never accounted.
Senator Elkins acknowledged that he
purchased the land and that on October
II he signed deed under which Reeves
was to become entitled to .one-third of
the lands on paying him S1.25 an acre
for them. This was, he ayers, the only
papers ever executed The plaintiff, the
defendant alleges, agreed to pay this
price for the land in a short time, but
never did so.
He finally told the defendant he was
not in position to carry out his agree
ment and relinquished his interest in the
lands. Under these circumstances. Sena-
tor Elkins says he sold the portion Of
the lands claimed by Reeves to T. b.
Catron. on the same conditions as they
had been previously held by the plaintiff.
He also pleads that Reeves is barred by
the statute of limitations.

Pelican Point Investigation.

Last Saturday the grand jury began
the examination of witnesses in the
Pelican Point murder case, which at
tracted so much attention last spring
when the bodies of three young men
were found near Hays ranch on the
west side Of Utah lake The evidence
at the coroner's inquest disclosed that
the men had been murdered and
thrown into the lake. presumably some
time in February last, but so far the
perpetrator or perpetrators of the
triple crime have not been brought to
Justice. The officers, however, have
been quietly working on the case, and
all the evidence they can produce will
be submitted to the grand jury. There
are many witnesses to be examined,
and it is not probable the case will be
concluded this week. The officers are
reticent in regard to the result of their
efforts to discover the guilty party. and
nothing will be known in regard to the
matter till the grand jury has finished
its considera ton of the case.
