Brown, as he thrg himself back in mis-

WANTS WIDOWS THIRD
Mrs. HiltOn's Claim on the Park
Estate.
MOVE MADE
CHARGED THAT EXECUTOR HAS
BEEN DERELICT.e

Another move was made yesterday by
Annie F. A Hilton to secure for her
self a third interest in the estate of the
late DR.. John r. Park. who willed his
entire weaith.Nyalued at over S45,eJ0, to
the University of Utah. Mrs Hilton's
action is disclosed in q petition TO the
chancery division Of the district court,
which was prepared and flied yester-
day by her attorney, Nathaniel V
Jones.
Mrs. HiltOn's petition states that 5.
". Stewart, the executor OF Dr. Park 5
will. has so far tailed to return to the
court her claim for a widows third in
.erest in the estate, nor mas he at
tempted to inform the cOulJ OF her
s.a,us with reference to the deceased
or ms property. 1t is then reclted Uhat
petitioner Is the surviving widow OF
DR.. Park, having married him in this
city on or about Dec. 1, 1872
1t is further alleged by Mrs. Hilton
that she has never received any part
of the property of the late wealthy eou-
Gator, and has never sold her interest
therein as the surviving widow Of de-
ceased. The petitioner charges that
the executor was dereHCt in having the
inventory and appraisement returned
TO the court without mentioning tAebl
she is entitled TO d third of the real es-
tate as her separate property
Mrs. Hilton then sets up that she IS
entitled to a reasonable family allow
ance for her maintenance and support
out of the property of the decedent
pending administration upon the es-
tate and final settlement The sum OF
500 monthly is alleged to be d reason
able allowance,
The petition also asks that upon
hearing Mrs. Hilton be adjudged the
surviving widow Of DR.. John r. Park,
and therefore entitled to "a third of all
his property to be set apart as her
separate property
Attorney Jones fled the petition with
the clerk without asking to have day
set for hearing il.

NO SUNDAY OPENING.
Library Trustees Object to Councils
Conditions.

Library Trustees Object to Councils
Conditions.
Notwithstanding that Mayor ThOmp-
sen yesterday approved the action of
the council Tuesday evening in author
izing the opening of the public library
on Sundays there is said to be very
serious doubt that the library viii ever
see an open Sunday, during the pres
ent administration at least. The provi-
so stated in the counciIs concession
was that the expense Of heating the
library rooms be borne from the library
fund. but this restriction is not TO the
liking of the library trustees, who had
concluded to arrange for Sunday &C
cCmmOd2tiOns, in response to popu-
lar demand, if the council would as
sumo the expense of the innovation and
pay it out of the general fund
Estimates of the cost of keeping the
library open Sundays show that 81
each Sabbath would be required for
fuel and stocking. Light is furnished
free, but incidental items would, it IS
stated. run up the extra expense to
about $500 yearly. and the library tTus-
tees are not disposed to devote so large
a sum to this sort of expense when
the money would show to better ad-
vantage, it is reasoned, in the pUr-
chase of new books.
In any event, the library will not be
opened for Sundays until after the
trustees have considered the newly de-
veloped situation at next month s
meeting.
