DEATH OF JOHN FARMER.
Well-known Salt Lake Business Man
Dies In Idaho.

John Farmer, who was widely
known throughout Utah, and especial
~ IN this city, where he resided until
recently, died yesterday at Montpelier,
Ida, at the age of 40. The widow, Mrs
Anna Farmer, viii arrive here tomor-
row and the interment will take place
at Mt. Olivet. 1t has not yet been de-
termined whether funeral services
will also be held here, but it is likely
that such will be the case, and if so,
announcement will be made.
Mr.. Farmer was an Englishman and
came here early in the '70s. He was
man of education and fine business
ability, but suffered from asthma,
which handicapped him in his life's
work and finally caused his death,
which, however, was directly due to
apoplexy.
He first engaged in the coal business
here and then became associated with
the John w. Lowell Wagon company,
holding the position of secretary. At
forwards he was connected with
George A. Lowe and with the Stude-
baker company. Prior to going to
Idaho he was assistant to Mr.. George
A. Snow, general manager of the Con-
solidated Implement company, in this
city. AT the time of his death he was
the local manager for this institution
at Montpelier. Besides his widow he
leaves six children, the eldest, Bar
nard, being connected with the Con-
solidated Implement company's branch
at Montpelier.
Funeral services are to be held at
that place today.

divorce suit of Edmund Halliday vs.
Mary Alice Halliday. states that the
allegations of the plaintiff that his wife
deserted him by refusing to leave
Liverpool, England, and come to
America to live with him, and that he
rsent her money to bring her here are
untrue. She says the reason Mrs
Halliday did not come to this country
is that she had not the means to do so
and furthermore she says the husband
deserted his wife. -
