REED VS.. REED.
The Wife In This Case Also Alleges
Cruelty.

Another divorce suit, much on the
lines of the previous one, was entered
by Maude Reed against William II.
Reed. In this case the parties inter-
married in this city on March II, 1894.
The complaint states that on Aug. 10,
1896, the defendant, without any just
cause or provocation, choked and stran-
gled his wife with such force that the
marks of his fingers remained on her
neck for days On Oct. 10 of the same
year. Mrs. Reed says, her husband
struck her in the face a very severe
blow with his hand. and on Nov. is. re-
peated the act, with the addition of
vile and abusive language.
Plaintiff then goes on to state that
her husband habitually absented him
self from home, against her wishes, and
frequently remained out until o'clock
in the night. and when she asked what
detained him, he told her it was none
of her business. His conduct became
so bad that she was obliged to leave
him and return to her parents.
AS a further ground for divorce, Mrs.
Reed alleges that her. husband has will
fully failed and neglected to support
her. although he is in receipt of an in

business, in which he is a partner

May H. Parry has begun suit for di-
vorce from David NJ. Parry on the
grounds of cruelty and drunkenness.
1t is alleged in the complaint that the
marriage took place in Salt Lake City
on Nov Z, 1898, and that ever since the
defendant has treated her with great
cruelty; that he is an Incorporate man.
frequently getting intoxicated. Mrs.
Parry, in specifying the acts of cruelty
complained of, says that on Dec. 81,
1894 in the town of ReXburg, Ida. her
husband, while in a street car with her,
got hold of her and knocked off her hat
and left it in the street, and jerked her
around all the way home, and when
they got there tried to choke her. On
April u. 1897. while the parties were
temporarily in Elko, New, she says he
slapped her in the face and otherwise
abused her, and in Salt Lake he threw
her down and threatened to shoot her.
and on another occasion dragged her
down the steps of her mothers house,
and was threatening to do further vio-
lence to her person, when her brother
interfered and saved her.
Mrs. Parry further alleges that her
husbands conduct has become unbear-
able; that he follows her and crosses
her path at frequent intervals; listens
at the doors of her apartments, and
once told her father he would kill her.
The plaintiff prays for a decree of di-
vorce, a reasonable amount of alimony
and costs of the action.

UNCLE SANS CROOKED BOSSES.
FRAUDS IN CONSTRUCTION OF
NAVAL DOCKS.
Civil Engineer Menocal Charged With
Collusion-WiIl Be Tried By
urt-martial-Some Ugly Facts.

New York, Jan 27-Two specific
charges upon which Civil Engineer Ne
mccall is to be tried by court martial
next moth have already been drawn
by the judge advocate general OF the
navy, the substantiation of either in
volving dismissal from the service. The
first is that of culpable negligence, says
the Washington correspondent of the
Tribune, in the performance of duty
under which fall at least ten specitlcd-
lions. every one fortified by the most
damaging evidence. The second charge
so far formulated is that of neglect OF
duty, and under this al least a dozen
instances are specified. They relate to
the demOnstrable gross frauds Drac-
ticed direct under the supervision OF
Mr.. NenOcal not when he was temper
arily absent from the scene Of opera
ton, or when a subordinate was filing
the inspectors place; not when Mr..
Menocai was n Florida, or during any
of his frequent visits TO New York City,
but, when, it is asserted. he was in d.
rect charge of dock construction, and
actually witnessing the progress of the
contractor
The efforts Of the naval legal authori-
ties have ended in withdrawing the
first two charges with their specifica-
tions. and cOllating the testimony to
secure conviction upon them. Assistant
Judge Advocate General Laucheimer.
who has been in BrOO Alyn working up
the case, and examining the evidence
dug out by Constructor BOwles. has
fully another month to complete his
presentation for the prosecution, and
it is strongly intimated that before that
period expires. he will charge collision
between the government inspectors and
the contractors. So far. while no charge
of collision has been formally present
ed to Secretary Long, several ugly
facts have been brought to light which
would merit Severer measures than
those yet threatened.
Secretary Long says he expects Me-
nocal to hurry from Nicaragua without
any delay, and arrive in New York by
the middle of February. As the ac-
cused man will undoubtedly wish to
examine the charges, and on account
of their gravity, go over them with his
attorneys before the trial begins, the
first sitting of the cOurt-martial may
be postponed until March l.
Regarding the efforts now in prog
ress to repair the damages, and render
the dock serviceable to the government,
Secretary Long is most hopeful that
the huge structure will be ready for the
battleships when they return north
next spring.
There will probably be no congress
siOnal investigation of the docks, and
certainly not before the termination of
the court-martial, which the secretary
has been able to convince members of
congress will be a drastic proceeding
throughout.

LOWER COURT AFFIRMED.
In the Case of Hanks VS.. Thomas
Matthews ct. al.

In the supreme court yesterday, an
opinion, written by Justice Bartch and
ooncurred in by Chief Justice Zane and
Justice Miner, was handed down in the
case of Mary f. Hanks, appellant, VS..
Thomas Matthews. Arthur Brown and
Matthew Cullen, in which the judgment
of the trial court is affirmed.
The action was brought upon a bond
on appeal from the supreme court of
Utah to the supreme court of the Unit
ed States, to recover damages from the
principal and sureties on the bond, for
rents and profits from certain real es-
tate in controversy, which accrued dur
ing the tendency of the appeal.
1t appeared from the pleadings that
on June !, 1894, Ephraim NJ. Hanks,
husband of the appellant, gave a deed
for certain real property, to the re-
spondent Matthews. and gave him pos
session of the property. The deed,
though absolute on its face, was, in
fact, a mortgage to secure the payment
of money advanced
Hanks brought suit against Matthews
and obtained judgment declaring the
deed a mortgage, and decreeing that
Hanks have the property on paying the
amount found to be due Mary E. Hanks.
the appellant. advanced the money to
her husband to pay Matthews, and her
husband conveyed the property to her
by warranty deed.
Matthews appealed to the supreme
court of Utah, where the judgment was
affirmed, and Matthews then carried
the case TO the United States supreme
court, where his appeal was dismissed
Mrs. Hanks then sued Matthews and
his sureties, Brown and Cullen. to re-
cover $3.50 rents of the property, col
lected by Matthews during the pen
dency OF the appeal.
The defendant interposed a de-
murrer, which was sustained and the
action dismissed, on the ground that
there was a defect of parties plaintiff
in that it appeared that EDhraim
Hanks and the administrative of Eph-
RAIN Hanks. should be parties plain
tiff From this ruling Mrs Hanks ap-
pealed. with the result that the judy
ment CT the court below was affirmed.

miles from 12-mile pass. II appears that
for the past two years Frank Taylor
has been making periodical trips to this
point, and during that time he traced
a great ledge of quartz for distance OF
nearly two miles. and sampled the rock
at various points, receiving assays
which ran as high as $50 in gold AT
some points the ledge is 40 feet wide,
and the assays were made from
samples taken from the surface. None
OF the specimens which were tested
failed to show mineral. Experts who
have seer the ore declare that it is
identical with that taken from the
Eureka Hill, and the theory is that II
is 4 continuation of the same ledge
which has made Tintic famous as
producer. ard that it extends north
ward at great depth. and then comes
TO the surface again. This theory,
which has been held by a number OF
mining men for years past, is further
demonstrated by the fact that nearly
all the ore which is being taken from
the Bullion-Beck mine comes from the
north workings. which are in about l.,
400 feet. on the 900 foot level. On Jan.
l, Frank Taylor. Ethan Allen and
james Morgan located the Taylor No.

,, and Messrs. Taylor and Allen have
pitched their tent on the ground, and
are now working the claims and intend
to sink a shaft on the ledge. On Mon
day morning James Crooks and James

some locations, known as the oxford
and Morse claims, in which w. II.

cations near the ledge, and yesterday
perhaps a dozen other men left for
North Tintic, some of whom are locat-
ing claims for Superintendent Kirby
and other parties. Yesterday evening

ed, and are enthusiastic over the out
look. They made two locations which
