ANSWER AND SS-COMPLAINT
In the Whitaker Divorce Suit-Al-
leges Adultery.


The defendant in the divorce suit of
susannah Whitaker against Albert
Whitaker yesterday filed an answer
and cross complaint in the Third dis
trict court.
Defendant, denies the allegations
that he deserted the plaintiff that he
failed to provide for her and his fam
ily ard denies that ne is of dissolIte
habits and unfit to have the custody
of the children and also denies that
the PLAINTIFF is in INDECENT circum-
stances.
By way of cross complaint the fact
of the marriage in England on Feb. 49,,
1884, is set UP and for cause of divorce
it is alleged tLlat on July %, 1897 the
plaintiff committed adultery with one
Jap Myers at Murray and also on Aug.
II, 1897. and again 1T is alleged that
Mrs. Whitaker was guilty of a similar
act on Aug. 20, 1895 with Joseph Smith
at a room in a rooming house in this
city. Other dates are mentioned on
which it is alleged that Mrs. Whitaker
was intimate with Myers. wherefore
defendant prays that be be awarded
the decree of divorce and the custody

suhciency of Appeal Undertaking

Sufhciency of Appeal Undertaking.
A rather nice question of law came
up in Justice Stewards court yesterday.
1t was in the case of A. T. Hill, who
sued F. Blake for $40, which he claimed
was due ON a bicycle.
Hill get judgment for the amount
and costs, but the defendant gave no
tice of appeal and made a deposit of
the amount of the Judgment and costs,
although the attorney for the opposi-
ton took exception as to the srdfficiency
of the deposit.
One part of the section relating to
this subject states that "a deposit of
the amount of the judgment appealed
from, including costs, shall be equiVa-
lent to the fling of an undertaking. /"
The appellant held that lhis was suIff-
Gent, and that it was not necessary
to give a cash bond of 500 as required
in the same section.
A clause, contradictory to the above
in the same section, says that IAN ap-
peal from a justice court shall not be
effectual for any purpose unless an I'M
dertaking shall be fled within five days
after the fling Of tine notice OF appeal,
with two or more sureties to the same,
OF 500 for the payment of costs ON the
appeal
Justice Stewart held that a deposit
of the amount of the judgment and
costs in the lower court is not sufficient
to warrant proceedings on execution,
but that 500 or a bond for that amount
and the amount of the judgment must
be deposited before proceedings in the
appeal court can be begun.

SALE OF -FOUR ACES.
Advances Noted in South Swansea,
Swansea and Mammoth.

The call of the mining exchange yes
terday was almost featureless, with the
exception of the advances made in
South Swansea, Swansea, Mammoth
and the sale of a block of Four Aces.
Bullion Beck also made a good showing
and this stock went up to $3.50 in the
bidding
For some reason, probably best
known to the bear element in the pit,
the leading gold stocks have been very
quiet of late and several declines have
been noted. This has been the case es-
peciaIly with Mercur. Disqualification
and Northern Light, the latter suffering
from a bear attack during the cali.
Four Aces disclosed considerable &C
tiYity. and made transfers of 1000
shares at 31s cents.
South Swansea was a favorite when
the unlisted securities were called, and
at the close advanced above the dollar
mark in the bidding. Swansea was also
f1rm and developed an upward tendency
in the bidding as well as in the offer
ings. Dexter was stationary, while
Gold Dust failed to receive a bid Sac
ramento was fairly strong at q cents

The closing quotations were as fol-
lows:

THE NORTH FORK PLACER.
Excitement Continues Unabated on
the Branches of Coffee Creek.

Excitement continues unabated on
Coffee creek, Trinity county, and the
rush to these placer diggings is as great
as ever.
AS mentioned in these columns some
time ago, the North Fork Placer Mining
company of this city is the owner of
the best located gravel deposits to be
found on the creek, and, although it has
been known by the management that
there were several fortunes in the
ground the time and energy of the
two years in putting in fumes and by
draulics, and this work has been re-
tarGed to q considerable extent on &C
count of financial difficulties
Since the excitement broke out, how
ever. the company has renewed opera
tons with greater vigor than ever be-
fore as its ground is located between
the remarkably rich finds on Coffee
creek and the diggings where the big
nugget was recently taken fIom, in
Hickory gulch. and Attorney E. H
Scott of this city, who is one of the di-
rectors and stockholders of the COM
pany and is now on the ground, writes

not far from Coffee creek, writes the
company that several important gold

Gently between the north and south
forks of Coffee creek. and that at least
1000 men are working and prospecting
in that locality, while the rush is in
creasing and gold-seekers are coming

GRAND RNcAMPMENT GOLD.
L. W. Smith of Kamas Makes Valu-

L. W. Smith of Kamas Makes Valu-
able Discoveries.
Coalville, Sept. 16.-There was quite
a furry of excitement here this morn
ing among a number of our citizens
when Mr.. Louis w. Smith of Kamas
stopped for few moments on his way
home from the Grand Encampment
country in Wyoming, whittier he went
on June 20 last in company with three
others in search of hidden treasures.
They struck it rich, and say that Klon-
dixie has no charms for them, nor is
Alaska in it at all for either placer or
lode gold mining claims with the Grand
Encampment.
They brought with them about $4,000
in gold nuggets, varying in size from
that of a birdshot to a large goose egg.
This is no fake, for the yellow beau
ties were exhibited here today by Mr..
Smith and party to the wondering gaze
of a score or more of excited residents
of Coaiville, and the real thing is there,
while the veracity of Mr.. Smith is too
we'll established throughout this county
to leave any shadow of doubt in the
case
Mr.. Smith had one large nugget of
about the size of an ordinary hens egg
that fairly glittered. In fact, there was
more gold than rock or dirt in sight in
the piece. This was found by washing
out a pan of dirt. Then, again from
two tons of ore which they carried on
their backs some two miles from their
claim on the mountain to an old mill,
chunk of solid gold about the size of
and ordinary teacup was run out, for
the milling of which they paid the mill
owners S..
Mr.. Smith says that most of the mug

style pan fashion. Home duties" he
says. prevented them from remaining
longer at the diggings;;" but they have
brought home nice sum, secured their
claims and demonstrated their values
They are highly elated over their rich
finds and have great cause for being SO,
and intend returning early in the spring
prepared to open them up quite extern
sively. This has been the sole topic of
conversation here today and several
parties are already preparing to leave
for the new colorado in day or two,
andit will not be very surprising to US
if the Grand Eneampment should be-
come very popular section in the very
near future.
