Two Wives end One Husband
Ask For Legal Sep
aration.

The usual grind of the district court
was yesterday increased by the appli-
cation for divorce of three mismated
couples. In the first Nellie May Libby
asks for a permanent separation from
her husband, Frederick Lorin Libby,
a local letter-carrier, whom she mar
ried in this city on July IA, 1894. Failure
to support and desertion are given as
the causes for the suit. Mrs. Libby
asks for the exclusive custody of her
7-year-oId daughter. Vera Airline, and
such alimony as the court may see fit
to grant.
Tilda b. LAWN thinks she ought to be
permanently separated from her hus-
band, A. p. LAWN. whom she accuses
of failure to support. According TO the
complaint filed yesterday, the husband.

month. yet for the last year he has
failed to contribute to the support of
his wife or two minor children, Andrew.
aged IA. and Agnes, IL years old. Mrs
LAWN asks for the custody of her chill
dren. a reasonable alimony to be fixed
by the court. besides $50 attorney fees
Nils J.. Torkelsen claims to have suf-
fered great mental distress through the
cruelty OF his wife, Georgina ]. Tor

action for divorce filed in the district
court, consisted in his spouse
daily saying she hated and despiSed
him; also in ordering him to leave her
and never return. The couple were
married in Norway, Dec. 10, 1893.

NEW ROCK ISLAND DEAL.
Expected That 1t VIII Absorb the En-
tire Frisco System.


It is limited in railroad circles that in
a few DAYS the Rock Island will make
one Of the bOldest moves yet attempted
in its recent deals to secure control of
the south and southwestern shipping
interests. This deal means the absorb
ton OF the entire Frisco system, which
will add about 3,4O0 miles of railroad
10 the Rock Island system. 1t is under
stood that the deal has been under con-
sideration several weeks. and if it goes
through. it viii make this system the
second largest under one management
in the United States. There will be only
one larger system. That is the Penn
Sylyania, which operates about 1000
miles Of road.
Il is no secret that the Rock Island
Is looking for an outlet to the coast via
salt Lake 1t was the impression that
a tle-up might occur with the Denver,
Northwestern & Pacific, bur later de-
velopments tend to discourage the pos
Sibility Of such an alliance.
The Rock Island has been most active
the past year in extending its system
west and south. The Frisco system,
which II has under consideration. was
formerly two lines, known as the st.
Louis x san Francisco and the Fort
scott x Memphis. These lines were
consolidated about a year ago. The

NEW ROCK ISLAND DEAL

THERE were no developments of inn
portance yesterday in the Rio
Grande matter. but the changes
we're still the paramount topic of con-
,..r-ation in railroad circles. 1t was
racortad that Mr.. Welby had resigned.
M formal resignation has been handed
in Mr.. WeIby accompanied the Of
s.faIs on their trip to Bingham, and
the subject Of Mr.. Young's appointment
mas brought up for the first time then.
Mr.. Welby was informed that the
office Of general superintendent was 10
h. abolished. He could not remain in
an office which was to be discontinued,
and be- accepted the situation as grace
fuIIv as ne could. 1t was learned that
h vas the intention not TO make a
change until the 18th of August, but

Mr.. Welby is spoken of in the high
est terms. not only by his outside
friends, but by railroad men generally
and il is the general impression that
he will not remain idle long. He is re
garded as too valua bic a man, and il
has been limited that it would occasion
no surprise If announcement came of his
appointment to some responsible posi-
ton on one of the new lines in process
OF construction, either between Salt
Lake and Denver or between this city
and the coast. He is a warm personal
friend of Colonel d. c. Dodge, who IS
interested in the MOffat road, and when
the time comes il is expected he will
be taken care of.
Mr. Weby began his railroad career
In 1872. He was connected for several
years with the Grand Trunk line. and
in 1881 went TO Colorado TO take the
position of chief clerk to the division
superintendent of the Rio Grande. Two
years later he was made general SUI
perintendeut. a position he has filled
so well that only praise is heard for his
services from those who are familiar
with railroad work.
