KAYSVILLE, April 25-William Wal
lace, who has been a well known char
acter in and about Kaysville for a
number of years, has not been seen in
town for a couple of weeks and it is
alleged that he has deserted his wife
and two children and skipped The
fact that before leaving he disposed of
some loose property for a cash con-
sideration, and the further fact that
when he went away it was ostensibly
to find work in Ogden, with a promise
to his wife that he would return the
next day, lends some color to the ac-
cusation that he has deserted his fam
lily. Before going he borrowed a sad
die and bride from a friend, and he
has not had the kindness to return
them yet consequently the owner has
made a $50 entry on the bedft side of
his profit and loss account. Taken
altogether the circumstances that have
come to light indicate that Wallace
had carefully planned to change head
quarters, and it is doubtful now if he
will return.
This desertion is a rascally piece of
work, for it is said the family are in
an almost destitute condition, with no
home and no means of support. Mrs.
Wallace has a great many relatives
and friends here, however, who will
see to it that she and her children do
not suffer. This is the second time
Wallace has deserted her. The other
time he was absent about year.
A NEW PAPER.
The Kaysville Post, new paper,
made its appearance this week 1t is a
clean, bright little sheet, and gives
promise of being a newsy paper. John
V. Long, formerly of the Tooele Trans
cript, is the editor, and James Mac
Laren of Salt Lake is a partner in the
financial end of the business. We wish
the new venture success.
Miss Winnie Larkins, a daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. James Larkins, and
Fred 3. Williams, young business

wedlock on Wednesday in the Salt
Lake temple. That evening they were

LarkinS, only relatives and a few close
friends Of the contracting parties be-
ing present There were some tasteful
and beautiful presents made to the
bride.
Mr. and Mrs. Williams will be at

young couple in extending them con-
gratulations and wishes for their per-
fect happiness through life.
