To Regulate Gambling in Ogden.

Ogden Standard Washington's
birthday anniversary will be remem-
bered by many as the day upon which
they ceased to be privileged to play n
quiet little game in quiet little room.
in the rear of a quiet little smokinr
parlor
on that day Chief Davenport of the
police department issued orders closing
up these spider and fiy' joints.and to
further promote the morality of the
city gave orders to arrest anyone
found running such quiet little game,
I he result Is that there is no gambling
except In regulated gambling houses,
and the effect OF the order has been,
further. to rathcr cut down the number
patrons at the regular joints. Mayor
Boyle and several members of the
council were seen yesterday, and they
all asserted that they proposed to back

suing FOR A FORTUNE
THE SUM A FULL FIFTY THOUSAND
foot Bank Says the Money Belongs
to That Institution.

A decidedly unique. important and
somewhat sensational suit was filed in
the Third district court shortly after
noon today. The plaintiff is C, Il.
Thum, receiver of C. Bunting & Com
pany, bankers, who failed at Black
foot, Idaho, in February, 1897. and the
defendant is Daniel Wolstenhoime, the
well known Salt Lake coal dealer. Mr..
Thum Is suing for $4,000 life insur-
ance money, which he alleges was illeg-
ally collected and which he now de-
clares is Illegally held by Wolstenholmc.
Briefly, the grounds upon which the
complaint Is based are these;
In November, 1894, Charles Bunting,
brother-in-l of Wolstenholme, and
general manager of the now defunct
bank, took out d 100000 life insurance
policy with the New York Life Insur-
ance company. Less than three years
afterward Bunting died, but before
passing away had paid the insurance
company $5l10 in premiums. 1t Is al
legged further that all Of the premiums
were paid from FUNDS of the
bank while the institution was insolv-
ent and while Bunting had no money
in 1t; that the last payment was made
in 1896 and that Bunting during that
year assigned the policy to his brother
in-law, Mr.. Wolstenholme, for which
1t is asserted the latter paid nothing
and that he did not obtain possession
of the valuable document until March.
1897; that on coming into such possess
sion the defendant Immediately pro-
ceeded to and did in fact collect the
full $4,000 which plaintiff now contends
Is in equity and good conscience an as
set of the bank.
Brown and Henderson represent the
plaintiff. What the defendants answer
will be Is not yet known.

A TOOele ROMANCE.
Mr.. George Lee Re-Weds the Woman from
Whom He Was Divorced Year Ago.

A story comes from Tooele with
tinge of romance in it. A year or so
ago Mr.. and Mrs. George Lee were d.
vorced. having reached the conclusion
that they were unsuited to each other.
Time and again they tried to reconcile
their differences, and time and again
they failed. Finally the court was ap-
pealed to and removed 1.-THE yoke of
marital uneasiness that was so CALLING
to both of them. Then they travelled
the journey Of life single handed and
alone. They We're unaccustomed to
such periginations and soon grew tired
of them. They yearned to put on the
yoke again, and travel side by side
once more. The more they thought of
1t the fewer obstacles they saw In the
way. After a while there We're none
at all. So one day last week they HE'D
themselves to the office Of the county
clerk, took out a marriage license and
once more were made man and wife.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lee are both upwards of
forty years of age and have a large
| family.

"a little incident to show the nerve

overhauling the after magazine one

cans OF powder and gun-cotton, and
cleaning house, as 1t We're, under the
direction of II lieutenant and a gun
ner's mate. The latter stood leaning
over the hatch, singing out orders to
the men in the magazine, when he ac-
cidentally knocked his lantern against
the steel side of the hatchway. The
spring that held the lamp gave way
and II fell into the pit, bottom-side up
and still burning. upon the top of a
large tin can of powder. The men In the

A JUROR TO ANSWER.
Cited to Appear in Court for Contemplating
Couple Divorced.

Correspondence of the News"
Fillmore, Feb. 2i.--very little bust
ness has been done here at the term of
the district court which closed yester-
day The case OF WA. Ray VS. N. J.
Boregard went over for the term; cour'
ordered that an amended answer may
be filed ON the payment of $40 costs to
plaintiff by the defendant.
Peter Huntsman vs S. r. Huntsman,
application for new trial still under
aGvisement.
The court ordered the clerk to issue
citation to Samuel w. Western, a petit
juror at the December term, to appear
at this court on the first day of the
June term, A. d. 1898, to show cause
why he should not be punished for
contempt of court. The trouble has
arisen from the fact that Mr.. Western
was one of Jurors on the panel which
tried the Huntsman case, and as such
sought a clearer insight upon the sub
ject by going into the saloon where
the fracas took place, and making a
personal examination as to how certain
falls occurred. To hear some of the
lawyers talk, 1t appears that in this
case Innocence is not bliss" and may
be the peg upon which a new trial will
be hung.

chemist of San Francisco, and Prof l. T.

were secured; but it is pity that the names
of such eminent authorities should be used to

The Salt Lake Opera company sang
and played at Ogden last night. And

sang and played better than at any
previous performance of the present
engagement. There We're no forgotten

and an increased ease in general In
depreciation. To Salt Lakers who had
seen the presentations here the I'm
provement was very noticeable and
clearly demonstrates that all that Is
necessary to make the company a
successful producer of light opera Is
practice. The audience was a large
one and thoroughly in sympathy with
the performance. The work of prin-
cipals and chorus alike was warmly
appauded and the local hits made
