Mrs. Georgia Pearl McAfee was prob
ably never the legal wife of Patrick
McAfee, whom she is now suing for a
divorce. At least that is the appear
ance the case ROW has. in view Of
dispositions just received from f. j..
Brandon, county recorder of Santa
Clara county, Cal.
He states that she was married to
Phillip SAM in April, 1890, and that
that contract was duly signed by both
parties and recorded. They were a
very young bride and groom for Mrs.
McAfee was only Is years old when she
became his wife and SAM age was Is.
Brandon states that the two lived for
some time in San Jose as man and
wife.
The two we're never divorced, says
the Santa Clara county clerk. or at
least if they were he had no knowledge
of it.
Mrs. SAM left San Jose for Utah, and
after her arrival here signed Pearl

they introduced each other as man and

Brandon about getting a divorce later

A Nice Legal Point.

The case of B. K. Block VS.. Charles
Bonnetti, in which the plaintiff is su-
ing for an Indebtedness of s126 and the
defendant pleads the statute of Hmita-
ton, was discussed yesterday before
Justice Stewart.
A rather nice legal point is involved.
The law of 1888 makes an account out
lawed in two years, while the legislative
law of this year extends the time to
four years. The question was whether
the first or the latest law was opera
tive in the case of Bonnetti, and as
there was some conflict as to the date
on which the defendant made the last
payment, the case was continued until
today.
Arthur Brown argued for the plaintiff
and Attorney Hoppaugh represented
.Bonnetti's interests.

JAP MEYERS.
He VIII Appear In Justice Stewards
Court Today.


Jap Meyers will appear in the court
Of Justice Stewart today to answer to
a charge of adultery, preferred by AL
bert Whitaker, who alleges that
Meyers has ruined his home.
This is the case which was men
toned in yesterdays Herald. 1t APP
pears Whitaker has been away from
home for long time and that during
his absence Meyers has been boarding
with his wife. It seemed to be a; very
amicable agreement, for Meyers had
a horse and Mrs. Whitaker bought a
buggy and used to take her boarder
to and from work with it. The neigh
bors talked a great deal, but did not
disturb their relations and when a day
or two ago, Whitaker came home he
found Meyers occupying his place. He
ordered Jap out of the house. but gave
him time to put mis- clothes on and
created no row as he says he did not
want TO have any trouble, seeing that
he had ample evidence that his wife
was guilty and could get a divorce.
Meyers hung around hoping that
Whitaker would abuse his wife so he
could have him arrested, but he didn't
and the first thing Jap knew he was in
Jail on a charge of adultery.
He stated yesterday that owing to
the 1iason, his children had been COM
PEELED to sleep out of doors. Mrs.
Whitaker followed Meyers to this city,
taking her youngest child with her
and he does not expect she will come
back again.

that sort of thing As g, matter OF fact,
there has been no lining UP of matters,
but there is e tussle going on between
the powers of the lines as to what
share each shall get cut of through
freight. The Union Pacific folks want
a great deal more than the Short Line
PEOPLE are willing to concede them. and
that is the rock on which they split. A
Herald man was told yesterday that the
difference included every class of
freight which was shipped from the
west to the east, and vice versa.
The Short Lire folks have ali the
best of the fight at this time, in this,
that theg have another outlet via the
Western. since the opening of the Og-
den gateway. SO they are in a position
to state TO the Union Pacific that If
they do not want to make the arrange
ments suggested, the stuff can be sent
on east over the Western and connect
ing AntS ana the snort Lime VIII Ge

The Union Pacific people can not af-
ford to make any demonstrations, but
must content themselves With pleading
and coaxing. As result, the coaxlng
IS going on right along. With no ap-
parent effect.

THE RAISE IN VALUATIONS.
1T WILL BE RESISTED By THE
TAX PAYERS.
Board of County Commissioners VIII
Not Act In an Official Capacity
Attorney Van Colts View of the
Case.

Yesterdays developments indicate
that the order of the state equalization
board relative to the per cent in
crease on tax valuations in Salt Lake
county will be resisted by aggrieved
tax payers rather than by the board of
county commissioners in their official
capacity. The county board has not
taken any formal action yet in the
premises. and probably will not, If the
advice of County Attorney Van Colt
is followed. Mr.. Van Colt stated yes
terday that he did not believe it was
within the legitimate province OF the
county commissioners to further resist
the order of the state equalizers, but
he does believe that any tax payer
would have an inpregnabie position in
court on a petition to prohibit the state
boards order becoming effective. Only
recently in an identical case where the
language of the constitution is exactly
the same as in the Utah constitution,
the supreme court of the state of Mon
tana decided that raise made by the
state board of equalization in enc
county without a corresponding reduc-
ton in another county is void In
other words, equalizations must not
substantially affect the aggregate val
uations for the entire state. The Colo
RADIO supreme court has ruled precisely
the same as did the Montana court in
a. similar case that is analogous to the
Utah case under discussion. Attorney
Van Colt also stated that he believed
that the raise Of the valuations on
cash and mortgage especially would
be construed to have a luilifying eff
feet on the state boards action.
