COUPLE WANTED A QUICK DIVORCE
AND THOUGHT THE CLERK COULD GIVE IT

He was meek and she was belligerent.
The husband .acquiesced in all that his
wife said. She was fair, fat and forty,
maybe. Both were from the common
walks of life. This brief description
fits the couple who called at the county
clerks office yesterday afternoon to ap-
ply for a divorce. The wife led out by
inquiring for Referee Eldredge. This
meant Deputy Clerk Eldredge, who
frequently is delegated by the court
to take and report testimony in default
divorce cases, thereby earning the title
OF referee.
Are you Referee Eldredge?" asked
the woman as the deputy clerk came
forward.
ct am: what can I do for your" an
swered the accommodating official
We'll. we want n divorce and they
told Us to come to you, as you divorces
folks quicker than the lawyers does,
and don't charge so 'dinged' much"
spoke the woman. the husband nOdding
assent.
The urbane clerk flushed and blushed
as he has not done since he was kan
garoOed." Finally Jodey got his
tongue. 81 am sorry that I can't do
anything for YOU until your case gets
into court in the regular channel Then
II the defendant is in default for failure
to answer the others complaint the
testimony may be referred to me to
take and report back to the court. IL

WESTERN MAKES
A NEW SURVEY

Line Across the Oil and Coal
Fields.
SURVEYORS IN THE FIELD

TO CALIFORNIA.
SURVEYORS IN THE FIELD

Advices from Green River state that
the Rio Grande Western surveyors are
running an entirely new line across
the country, supposedly to connect
with the Salina canyon road. The Green
river party started in near Cisco, AMI
has run a line in q westerly direction
through Grand into Emery county. The
line crosses Green river two miles be-
low the mouth of the San Rafael, about
twenty-five miles south of the town
on Green river.
The route taken crosses the undevel-
oped oil region of Green river, and if
continued Will penetrate the heart of
the Emery county coal fields. From
the general direction of the survey, II
is believed il viii connect with the
Sallna canyon survey near the Muddy.
From this point another survey al
ready completed runs nOrtheSst
through Castle Valley to connection
with the main line at Mounds. Engi-
neers are now working in Salina can
yon, going over the old survey, reduc-
ing the grades and curves AMI getting
everything in such shape that a main
line could be run through there if de-
sired.
The route surveyed would give the
Rio Grande a cutoff which would save
several hundred miles of Southern
California if continued to a connection
with the san Pedro BY many 1t is
believed that something ike this is in

EIdredge then asked why the couple
of mature years wanted to be divorced.
'Oh, I'm tired Of him and he is will
ing to get rid of me-" answered the
woman, the husband again ducking his
head with You're right. only
Here the woman's Scowl silenced her
husband.
IF you wants to know more about
my kick on him I'll tell you" suggested
the ruling spirit in the family But
the deputy clerk replied that he had
heard enough, except that he would
like to know who sent the unhappy
pair to him to unite the knot. His Gu
riosity on this point was left unsat-
isfied.
IF you are determined to be divorced
from each other I would advise both OF
you to consult a lawyer" suggested
Clerk Eldredge.
Hang the lawyers. they are after
the coin too much to suit me-" retorted
the woman.
Then go to the Kangaroo court ad-
vised the district court official. "for
there they VIII let you off easy and at
the same time you viii he helping the
Elks' building fund "
Where is it2" asked the woman.
I'VE don't want to waste any time
Eldredge then gave specific directions
to the couple where to find the mock
court and they ambled out of the public
building as though they intended to be
divorced before shutdown. but they
failed to reach the Kangaroo court.

proxy or deputy. got upon the trail of
the city of ogden yesterday. Ogden

atty of facing contempt proceedings.
IT is a custom of the federal court.
not generally understood by the public.
to issue sUbpOenas and otfs-r papers
in the name of the president as chief
marshal Personal service is necessary,
and as no deviation from the rule is
made in cases where municipalities and

appearing documents are the result
Consequent to the action begun by the
Ogden WaterwOTks company against
the city of Ogden on Friday, II became
necessary to serve a writ upon ogden.
Following is a brief excerpt from the
paper turned over - Marshal Miller by
