Sensational Charges Ventilated In
Judge Hiles' Court.
wIFE'S WARM COMPLAINT
ACCUSES PEMBLE OF CRUELTY
AND ADULTERY.
Ex-Policeman McDonald's Wife Sues
For Divorce On Ground of Gross
Cruelty-Painter McAfee Made
Defendant For Divorce-Another
Desertion Case-Esteyes Probated.

The celebrated divorce case of Penn
Die VS.. Pemble was on trial yesterday
before Judge Hiles, and the sensational
testimony will be. gone over again to-
day in rebuttal or by way of argument.
Goodwin, Van Pelt & Twomey are
counsel for Robert Pemble, and Ed
ward and Frank T. McGurrin repre-
sent the defendant and cross-complain-
ant, Fanny Pemble.
The suit was commenced last spring
by Pemble, who alleged that his wife
had sold out the household furniture in
his temporary absence, and with -her
two children returned to her fathers
home at Mount Zion, Ills. This act, ne
charged. constituted desertion.
Mrs Pemble answered her husband 5
complaint by denying the act of deser-
ton and filing a croSS-bill, charging
failure to support, extreme cruelty and
adultery on his part committed with
one Maud Noble at Frisco in August.
1894. The defendant also alleged that
her husband had threatened to leave
her unless she submitted to criminal
operations, but these acts she refused
10 accede tc. Numerous other acts of
cruelty were specified in the cross-com-
plant.
1t developed in the testimony yester-
day that Pemble and his wife were
married in Platt county, Illinois, in
March. 1890, shortly after which time
they came to Utah. Pemble engaged in
the saloon business at Frisco and Nil
ford, and later at the Warm Springs in
this city. Plaintiff is nearly so years
old, and his wife is about twenty years
his junior. In May. 1896, he sought to
procure a divorce from her at Beaver,
but she contested. and he was forced
TO abandon his suit.
The evidence yesterday was some
what conflicting, and every point was
fought by opposing counsel. The dis
agreement is not so much over the de-
cree of divorce as it is a question of
division of Pemble's property, which
consists of q farm worth $500 in Ma
con county, Illinois, and mining prop
eity in this state.

UTAH BUTTER FAMINE
Cheap Kansas Product Finds a
Ready Sale.
NO OLEOMARGARINE SOLD
HOME BUTTER NOW COMMANDS
FANCY PRICES.
0 OLEOMARGARINE SOLD
Utah Creameries Cannot Begin to
Supply the Demand and the
= Shortage Is Made Up By Import
tations of Inferior Butter From
Kansas-Complaints Made.

The Salt Lake market is flooded with
very bad butter, and the many COM
plants on this score led to the belief
that oleornargarine was being sold. This
belief was strengthened by the fact
that Denver is suffering from an oleo
deluge. There it is colored just like
the best quality of creamery butter; ii
is put up in similar neat one-pound
packages, branded with popular brands
of creamery butter. and sold at % cents
pound. while the genuine creamery
butter sells for 80 cents.
No Oleo Sold.
There has been no oleomargarine sold
openly in Salt Lake in two years. The
legislature enacted very stringent laws,
making il unlawful to color oleomar-
garine like butter, to put it up in sim
liar packages or to sell it for butter.
Heavy penalties were provided for any
infraction of this law.
In addition to this there is a United
States tax of s4S per year on each re-
taller and $3.50 on each wholesaler be-
sides a heavy tax on the manufacturer.
Inquiry at the revenue office yesterday
revealed the fact that there is not now
a man nor firm in Utah licensed by the
federal government to manufacture or
sell OleO0QdfRdIlHt III any
So that if there are sales il is in direct
violation Of the federal as well as the
state law.
Butter Famine In Utah.
The dealers in the city explain the
presence on the market of so much bad
butter by stating that there is butter
famine in Utah. The Utah creameries
cannot begin to supply the demand, al
though the retail price is 30 cents. To
make up the shortage large quantities
of so-called creamery butter is being
shipped in in cold storage from Kansas,
and as this yields better profit to the
dealer than the home butter, large
quantities of it are being sold. 1t is
laid down TO the dealer at 90 cents and
less in some cases, ana is sold at fror,
25 to 80 cents.
This imported butter is OF an inferior
quality and is the cause of the numer-
Gus complaints. Its low quality is due.
the dealers say. to it being in storage
so long that it loses it's flavor and be-
comes stale and fiat. 1t also abscrbs
the doors OF other articles with which
il is stored.
Here is a problem for the butter max
ers of Utah. If this butter can be
shipped in in large quantities, in stor-
age by itself. and disposed OF on short
notice and then sold at lower price
than the home product. the Utah pro-
Queer has competitor worthy of his
attention.
