LOGAN, rep. S.-10e county court
now meets without a probate judge to
preside over it. Since the decision by
the supreme court that the judges of
probate cannot hold over, the only
thing for county selectmen to do is to
select one of their number as chair
man of the court and proceed with
business This is what the Cache

session this week Selectman Haybau
was chosen as chairman and business
was proceeded with as usual

The star case in the First district
court this week has been the suit of
Grehm VS.. Grehm, proceedings for di-
vorce. This case has been tossed back
and forth between this city and Ogden
for over a year. and when statehood
came and the seat of a district court
was located permanently in this city,
there was no excuse for bandying it
about any more, and the matter final
ly came to trial. The plaintiff is John
Henry Grehm, a German of more or
less unsavory reputation, and he de-
sired the bonds of matrimony existing
between himself and wife Mrs Eliza
V. Nielsen Grehm, dissolved. There
seemed to be from the first an incom-
patibility in the union OF the two ma
tionalities which have been at war on
the eastern continent for many years,
and so the trouble began. At the
trial twenty-siX witnesses were worn
in one day TO tell Of the troubles,
fights, etc, of the connubial pair
Night sessions were held. but still the
case hung on, until Saturday, after
three days Wrangling. Judge Hart or
dered that the decree of divorce be
granted and that plaintiff pay $3.50
per month for the support Of the baby
and within thirty days to convey to
defendant warranty deed TO a certain
piece of property located in Logan
City.
