Pays Alimony and Gives Custody of
Children to Get Divorce.


The somewhat notorious divorce case
OF Wright vs. Wright has been settled
quietly. An attempt was made to
avoid all publicity. and the entries in
the court blotter were not made until
yesterday, after disclosures were made.
The case was heard before Judge Ro-
laDp July 26, and terms of separat ton
agreed upon by stipulation.
Rollo H McQuarrie, the young man
ramed as correspondent, was given no
chance TO defend the attack on his
character. ard knew nothing of the
hearing until all was over. Another Pc
cullar circumstance is that while in the
complaint Al Wright charged his wife
with infidelit-- on numerous occasions.
ard the testimony WIS said to rest on
a written confession Of the woman. still
ne consented TO pay her alimony and
give her the custody of his children.
The decree and findings were in ac-
cord with the above. Mrs. Wright is
to retain the children and receive $50
a month aiimony as long as she re-
mains unmarried.
Meanwhile Rollo H McQuarrie's
friends say he is the victim OF a plot
to Desmirch his character. and are loud
in their condemnation of a judicial sys-
tenn that gives him no redress and no
chance to face his accusers. At the
same time they are inclined to denounce
the officials for their futile efforts to
conceal the proceedings.

San Francisco, July 29.-The Alameda
brings from Sydney papers describing
the trial and conviction of Butler, the
murderer who was captured in San
Francisco and returned to Australia,
and who has since been hanged The
trial lasted three days and in SOME
respects was sensational. On the last
day of the trial Butler attempted to
cut his throat with the metal tag
taken from a plug of tobacco. The
attempt was discovered, however be-
fore he had done any serious damage.
On the same day, while being led into
court, Butler became uncomfortable and
had fierce struggle with his guards.
He was finally dragged into the court
room and handcuffed and forced to
keep still
When the prosecution had finished
its case Butler was asked if he had
anything to say The murderer was in
a state of collapse, apparently. and
the court adjourned until the after
noon to give him time to recover. He
then, in a low Tone made a rambling
mines with Weller, at Weller's solicit
tation. On the way Weller acted
queerly, and when he displayed a pis-
toll, Butler thought that Weller was
going TO shoot him. Instead, however,
Weller placed the pistol to his own
head, and when Butler grabbed it in
the endeavor to take it away, the
weapon was discharged and Weller
was shot through the head. Butler
said he had used Weller's papers in
order to enable him to ship as q sailor,
as he had no papers of his own. The
case was then given TO the jury, which
dellberated for an hour and 20 slinutes
before bringing in a verdict of guilty"
The judge then pronounced sentence.
and when he concluded with the words
"and may God have mercy on your
SOUL" Butler quickly retorted, And
may he have mercy on yours, too

RICHFIELD's WATER
Great Interest Taken in the Case Now
on Trial.

Oh it'll.
Richfeld, July 2S.-When Richfeld
was built where it now stands, it was
because there was a spring flowing
out at the base OF the mountains north
and west of the present site 1t was
that spring which made Richfield. and
without that the city would be dry and
barren Therefore, the people were ap-
prehensive during the two days in
which the suit of the city against Bean,
Clark & Lauritzen has been going on.
The defense finished the cross-examina-
ton O. the state engineer, attacking
his testimony as to the geological struc-
ture, and trying TO show that mis- meas
urements were not properly made.
Bob Forester gave expert testimony
for the defendants. He had traced the
limestone from which both springs
came but a little way The limestone
in both were alike, but might not ex-
tend all the way between, though it
was Just as apt to do so. The water
Of the springs was not gathered in the
immediate vicinity, but came for some
distance. He believed the water came
from the west to the city spring. and
little west of north to the defend
ants
The two might be connected. ''but do
not seem to be closely connected" If
the two springs were connected. the
Bean spring would only get what the
city spring could not get
When Thurman took the witness to
cross-question, he said that if the Bean
spring was one foot higher than the
city spring, there might be a barrier
in limestone that would account for the
water running out at the higher point
While the last of this evidence was
being given, the courtroom was very
quiet, and all listened intently, for it
was the turning point of the whole
case. and when a number of assumed
conditions were taken and the witness
said if those conditions prevailed, they
are the same waters, the city was con-
coded the case. Tt will vet take all
dav TO finish the trial, but men who
bet on decisions wager five to one in
favorsof the city.

Prosecuting Attorney Reid asked the
leniency of the court in behalf of the
defendant, who had previously borne
good name, and from the fact that
other mitigating circumstances in the
case appealed for clemency.
The judge spoke feelingly as to De
ing called upon TO pass sentence upon
the defendant, even if others have to
suffer But. however painful it was,
for the family, wife and children TO
have the head of the family taken from
them, he had a duty to perform. The
defendant was sentenced TO one year
in the penitentiary.

Agent Corse of the Union Pacific and
Oregon Short Line was yesterday
shown the item appearing in the Tri-
bune. to the effect that the presence OF

the item as without foundation. 1t
was true that the auditors had checked

had been made for report on the ton
mage and wheelage of the Ogden Of

as a basis for computing the proper

Neither would the auditors be the ones
to initiate the change.
