FARMER FERGUSON'S ANSWER
ACCUSES HIS WIFE OF SERIOUS
OFFENSES.
Another Chapter Added to the Cot
tonwood Scandal-Charge of Per-
jury and Adultery.

Isaac Ferguson of Cottonwood will
not submit tamely to his wife's suit
for divorce against him. Through his
! attorneys, Young & Moyle, he filed an
answer and cross-complaint in the dis
tract court yesterday that is brimfull
of serious allegations.
This is the sequel of the case heard
some time ago, in which Ferguson
charged George Simpson with adul-
terry. When that case was finished Mrs.
Ferguson fled a suit for divorce
against her husband. in which she all
legged cruelty and ill-treatment.
Now Ferguson has come back with
counter charges. He denies that he is
the owner of the amount of property
his wife claimed, or that he is able to
pay the alimOny asked for And he
denies that the property is community
property, and that she had any part
in its creation.
Then he accuses her of many things
He said that she swore falsely in the
Simpson adultery case, to the effect
that he had committed adultery with
her sister, Mrs. Oakden. He said that
she has at various times called him
very many bad names and cursed him
with vigor; that she acted in such a
way as to cause scandal among the
neighbors.
But he caps the climax with a direct
charge of adultery with Simpson on
many occasions. After naming several
dates, he makes the general statement
that their illicit relations have contin-
ued during the past two years

Vernal, June 13.-The county board
of equalization concluded the task of
going over the tax roll today. Com
plants Of excessive valuations have
been comparatively few, but in some
instances very emphatic. The strongest
protest came from the large merchants,
who were inclined to think they had
been taxed out of proportion. The as
SCISSOR disclaimed any intention to dis
crminate, but justified his figures in
each instance, holding to the view that
the valuations were none too high.
Several reductions were made, however,
over the protest of the assessor, as fol-
lows: L. Johnson & Sons, reduced on
merchandise 500; s. D. Cotton & Co.,
reduced on merchandise $500 and on
improvements $500. The improvements
of w. p. Coltharp & Co. were raised
$500.
were not materially changed from the
figures fixed by the assessor. Real es-
tate values were not disturbed TO any
great extent, but a number of raises
were made on Improvements.
The roll shows an increase of "a, 900
head of sheep over last year, and 700
head of cattle. A great many new
names appear on the rolls, which has
something TO do with the big increase
of nearly 100000 over last years valu-
atoms. Uintah is right up close to the
100000 mark, and may reach that
figure before the years assessments
are concluded.

THREE SUSPECTS CAPTURED.
Sheriff Lindsay of Summit Makes
More Arrests.
Especial Correspondence.)

Especial COrreSpOnQence.l
Park City, June 16.-While working
with the Salt Lake officials the early
part of the week and assisting in the
capture of Hurley and his companions,
Sheriff Lindsay of Summit county got
a clue to the whereabouts of a gang of
thieves who have been operating in the
neighborhood of Park City all winter,
and today captured them.
On the night of Jan. 16 four guns
were taken from the store of Joseph
Fares and two fine saddles were stolen
from ]. c. Weeser and up to a few days
ago no clue could be obtained of the
thieves.
This morning Sheriff Lindsay and
County Attorney Calls went out to the
hills and recovered the saddles and two
of the guns.
A a. Willis was arrested and charged
with burglary. He pleaded not guilty.
On motion of Attorney Calls the hear
ing was postponed until Monday.
Two other suspects are in Jail now
awaiting a hearing, which will come off
at the same time. The officers, for some
reason, refuse to give the names of the
suspected men.
In relation to the statement made by
Salt Lake officers in The Herald of this
morning that Hunter, the man who had
aided Hurley, was released by Attorney
Calls, Mr.. Calls states that Hunter
was not arrested by the Salt Lake Off
GERS, but merely brought to town on
suspicion. The county attorney informs
your correspondent that Hunter is I'M
der the surveillance of Sheriff Lindsay;
that he is. in fact, under bond to ap-
pear when wanted, and that it is the
determination of the Summit county
officers to cooperate with the Salt
Lake officials to break up the gang of
thieves that have been operating in
Summit and Salt Lake counties.

reached by a unanimous vote of all the
banks in the clearing house associa-
ton of the city at a meeting held to
consider the matter yesterday morn
ing Under the rules of the association

resolution, and passed without a dis
senting voice. 1t provides for the

FIRE ESCAPE CASE.
Mr.. o'Meara Fined $40 and Will
Appeal


The city's case against w. P.
O'Meara for violating the fire escape
ordinance, as heard by Judge Timmony
yesterday, was IAN informal affair"
with spicy proceedings, growing out of
the defendants efforts to represent
himself, and Clerk Diehl's prosecution
Of the case.
Everybody interested had d word t.
say, and general discussions and dis
putes were numerous. Mr.. O'Maard
made statement, the substance Of
which was that Chief Devine asked
more of him than he did of other rrop.
erty owners.
Chief Devine, on the stand, testified
that he had asked the defendant three
or four times to erect d tire escape,
giving him his choice as to Its location
either in front or in the rear of the
building
Under what conditions did you say 1
could put this one in the rear?" asked
the defendant.
Clerk Diehl interposed an objection.
which was sustained. The court read
the ordinance. which says the fire
escape shall be located where the
chief of the fire department shall des-
isnate, and the defendant then stated
that the chiefs selections and demands
would, if complied with, incur an I'M
just expense. He was willing to put
up the escape, but did not want to
deface the appearance of the building
in front, and, if erected in the rear,
he claimed the chief would insist on
other improvements.
The court stated that there was only
one question for him to decide-wheth-
err the ordinance had been complied
with in this case.
1T has not" he continued, land I'll
give you opportunity to test the valid
ity of the law The court then i'm
posed a fine of $50.
The defendant observed that ii was
cheaper to pay the fine than the cost
of fight, though later he signihed his
intention of appealing the case.
