Mrs. William LAWYER, formerly Mrs.
Paf1n of Murray, is wondering whether
she is married or not. Her state of
mind is one of extreme agitation on this
point, and she has determined to en-
gage counsel to ask the court if she is
LAWYER or Paffin.
1t happened this way:
One year ago last month, November,
William LAWYER filed a complaint for a
divorce from his wife, Clara, alleging
desertion. The case came on before
Judge Hiles, and, after hearing the evil
dence that Clara had abandoned the
bed and board provided by William, a
decree was granted. William is a man
with matrimonial inclinations, and, not
desiring to live alone, cast his eyes
about for another better half
He met Mrs. Paffin, who consented to
marry him, and in April of this year
the ceremony was performed. Since
that time the pair have lived together
contented and happy.
But now comes Clara, the divorced
wife, and serves upon William an Aft
davit to the effect that at the time the
proceedings were had she was sick in
Denver, had no money to engage an at
torney, no friends to counsel and adj
wise her as to what course to follow,
and all that sort of thing, concluding
With the statement verified, of course,
that she will move the court that the
case be reopened; that he be compelled
to show cause why he should not sup
port her, pay her alimony and make
provision for her during the balance of
the time she remains single, or words
to that effect, or have the decree
called off.
The receipt of this bit of informa-
ton had a disastrous effect upon the
happy home of William LAWYER and
wife No. 2. Mrs. LAWYER, or Paffin, as
the case may happen to be decided
was greatly agitated, and so also was
the husband. They held a session of
an executive nature, and decided there
was something wrong, which needed
fixing. The woman was particularly
agitated, declaring she could not live
with man she was not legally welded
to. LAWYER insisted that all was right;
that he had a decree but his second
would not be pacified by any statement
he might make, so they spent 80 cents
coming up town to obtain counsel.
Fred McGurrin was selected, and the
case laid before him, not without a
great deal of language, because Mrs.
LAWYER was very much perturbed. and
insisted she did not want to live with,
cook for and otherwise help to make
home happy for man, unless it was
all right.
Mr.. McGurrin promised to resist the
affidavit with all the legal knowledge
he was endowed with, and the couple
went back to Murray to await further
developments, but in the meantime
there is suspicion in the LAWYER house
hold which will not be dispelled until
Judge Hiles again passes on the mat
ter, and declares his decree Of separa-
ton a firm and conclusive one.
1t is understood that Clara will ap-
pear in the city in a short time to en-
gage counsel to press her claims to

AN ACCOUNTING WANTED
STAR CONSTRUCTION COMPANY
WANTS SHARE OF PROFITS.
Canadian System Allowed the Star
Ccmpany's Business to Become
Impaired-Utah KILLERS After the
Big Flour Contract For the Orient
Rio Grande's Holiday Rates.

New York, Nov. 30.-John E. Berwind
has brought suit, on behalf Of himself
and all other stockholders of the North
Star Construction company similarly
situated against the Canadian Pacific
railway, the Duluth, South Shore &
Atlantic Railway company and VIII
liam c. Van Horne, to compel them to
make an accounting of the manage
ment Of the North Star Construction
company and other companies under its
control, and to pay over all profits and
proceeds resulting from such manage
ment. The complaint was filed in the
clerks Office of the United States circuit
court for this district today. In 1t the
plaintiff, who says he is the owner of
twenty-five shares of the capital stock
of the North Star Construction COM
pany, recites in full the history of that
corporation, which was formed under
the laws of the state of New jersey in
1888, for the purpose of constructing
the Duluth & Winnipeg railroad, in the
state Of Minnesota. Payment for this
work was to be made in bonds and
stock Of the railroad company. In the
fall of 1892 q majority of the stock of
the construction company was sold to
the Canadian Pacific Railroad COM
pany, through William c. Van Horne,
president of the Canadian Pacific Rail-
road company, and, it is alleged, Van
Horne agreed to pay the debts of the
construction company and hold the
stock of that company until bonds
could be marketed to pay the indebted
ness. The transfer was made in jan
uary, 1898, and promissory note for
the sum of $4,000 was given by the
construction company, which also gave
as security all its assets, including
bonds and stock of the Duluth & Win
nipeg Railroad company, the North
Star Iron company, and the Duluth &
Winnipeg Terminal company.
Il is alleged in the complaint that the
defendants permitted the business of
the railroad company to become i'm
paired, and in November, 1894, de-
mand was made on the construction
company for payment of the note, in
violation of the stipulated agreement
to hold the stock. The complaint al
leges that the board of officers of the
construction company, elected through
the influence of the Canadian Pacific
railroad company, stated that they
could not pay the note, and all securi-
ties were sold, and bought in again by
a representative of the defendants, and
at a price alleged to be far below their
real value. The Duluth & Winnipeg
railroad, it is further stated was
bought in under foreclosure proceed
lngs, and the plaintiff claims that he
and other minority stockholders were
shut out. The plaintiff claims further
that these sales realized more than
sufficient to pay the entire indebted
ness of the North Star Construction
company, and to pay the stockholders
OF the company more than the par
value OF the stock held by them.

swarmed around the teilers so that an

REVENUE STAMP CASH.
Santa Fe's Suit Against Northwestern
Union Company Dismissed.

New York, Nov. SO-The suit of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway
company, in the United States district
court to compel the Western Union
Telegraph company to affix and pay
for the revenue stamps required by the
war revenue law in Geographic mes
sages transmitted under it's contract
with the railway company, has been
dismissed at the railway company
cost.
The contention of the railway COM
pany was that the service which the
telegraph company agreed to give to
the railway company is to be free of all
charges. The telegraph company's an
swer was it could have no responsible
ity for the taxes laid by the United
States government on telegraphic mes
sages, and especially in view of the re-
peated rulings of the commissioner of
Internal revenue that the law requires
that the maker, signer or issuer'' Of
Geographic messages must affix and
nav for the stamps.

BIG FLOUR SHIPMENT.
Millers' Association Negotiating For
Big Contract.

The Herald, some time ago, spoke
of very large shipment of flour from
the Utah mills to Hongkong and Ma
MIA as one of the probabilities of the
near future. From reliable sources it
is learned that the Utah 1nillers are
assured as. of the contract for nearly 2,
100000 pounds.
When President Rich of the Millers'
association was seen about the matter
yesterday, he said the deal had not
peen closed, and until the contract had
been secured, he did not deem it adj
visable to say anything. From other
quarters it was learned, however. that
the association has taken the matter
UP, and the deal is practically closed
Should the association secure tha
contract, it will mark an Important
point pe in the history of Utah shipping,
as 1t will be one of the largest consigno
ments ever made from the state A

Suit to Enjoin the Collection of
Garnishment.


Garnishment.
The Overland Gold Mining company
and Asher Biddlecome, an employee,
yesterday asked for a writ of prohibi-
ton against Alexander McMaster, JUS
tice of the peace in the Fifth precinct.
It appears that last February t. E.
Laing filed a complaint in McMaster's
court against Biddlecome for $54.15 and
interest from May u, 1891. Service was
had by sending subpoena to the city
marshal at Mercur, and Biddlecome,
failing to appear, judgment was rem
dered by default.
The Overland company, for which
Biddlecome works, was garnished, and
moved to set aside the order of the
court which was denied.
Defendant files this request for a writ,
alleging that the justice had no juris-
diction. The case was set down for a
hearing before Judge Hiles Dec. 10.
