The first fatal shooting shoot
irg that Shoshone has had for

IT IS DEAD
And Cannot De- rlore De1d-fiou. w.
E. Borah Uses Da5oiS Own Ex-
preston IN Regard 10 the
ricrn.oH Question

e.
nesday evening was beyond the ex-
pectations Of bis most staunch adj
mirers. Form the time OF his
greeting the vast audience until
the close Of his speech the atten-
ton Of those assembled did not
flag for a single moment
The Mormon question and tariff
revision were the principal issues
discussed By Ar. Borah and he ex-
plained these in such a manner
that there was no room left for
doubt in the minds OF his attentive
listeners
The Mormon question, said Mr.
Berah, Is not an issue OF this cam
paign for the reason that the laws
are now on the statutes 10 punish
criminals and Mormon practis
ing pologamy Is a criminal and
can BE- prosecuted through the reg
ular channels Of the courts. Even
If It were an issue, lie continued,
ii would be out Of the jurisdiction
OF Senator Dubois were he re-elee;-
ed t. the Q. s. Senate The
question of polygamous Mormon 5
Will never be treated in the L. 5.
Senate and were Senator Dubois to
remain there Tor the rest OF his
natural life he would not even
hav- a chance to vote On the ques-
ton. Every law on the statutes
that provides Tor the prevention OF
polygamous pEaetises was placed
there during the republican admin
istrations and If Senator Dab is
knows OF a case OF polygamy in the
state Of Idaho. aad he says there
many, It Is lis duty as a true citi-
zen Of the state 10 bring that party
to justice.
s.r. Borah then cited a portion
OF Senator Dubois speech in con
gress when he said that poiygamy
in idaho was dead and could not
be more dead. 1t Is only practised
by some Of the older members OF
the church and when they die
there viii be an end 70 all polyga-
NOUS pracises among the members
Of the Mormon church. While
this is portion Of the speech OF
the Senator still he now tries to
make the Mormon question an Is
sue Of the campaign when he has
said himself that it was dead and
could not be more dead.
In speaking Of tariff revision the
speaker called attention to the
prosperous condition of the coun-
try during the administration OF
President Harrison. Under this
reign Of protective tar
if the whole nation was in a very 1
condition and when the
came into power through (

AGED COUPLE DIVORCED,
CRUELTY BEING CHARGED
WIFE FINDS STRANGE WOMAN
IN HER HOUSE
Inhumanity on the Part of Daniel
D. Alton Toward His Family Re-
suits in Decree of Separa-
tion

The Alton divorce suit in department
for the plaintiff.
The Altons were married in Wisconsin
in 1866 and from there moved to Mime
sofa, living there until about ten years
ago when they became residents of
Sawtelle.
The plaintiff, Mary e. Alton, speci-
fled numerous instances when her hus-
band, Daniel D. Alton, treated her with
cruelty as he did their children.
Charges involving other women were
made part of the testimony.
Mrs. Alton upon her return from a
visit to st. Louis found some woman
in charge of her house at Sawtelle and
her husband refused to permit her to
either bring her belongings there or
enter the house herself. The separation
then followed and Mrs. Alton removed
to San Diego where she now makes
her home.
When the case had been submitted
an amusing incident developed Judge
Yorke looked at distinguished looking
gentleman seated beside w. e. Cox, at
torney for the defendant and inquired
gravely if the defendant was in court.
Upon being told that he was not his
honor appeared relieved and remarked
that he could hardly bring himself to
think that such a fine looking man as
he who sat beside Attorney Cox could
have been guilty of the exaggerated
cruelties set forth in the petition and
proven by the testimony submitted in
the case.
Attorney Cox arose and with great
gravity presented the gentleman in
question to the court and with mutual
Fluctuations the case was ended by a
decree being granted Mrs. Alton.
No property rights were involved in
the decision as a mutually satisfactory
understanding had been arrived at out
of court.

REvIvES DESTROYED WILL
Basis of the Suit Is the Distribution
of the johnson
Estate

In the superior court, room No. q,
yesterday there was filed petition
to have the estate of Sarah Johnson,
who died here last May, administered
upon. The estate involved consists of
both realty and personally and
amounts to $4,000.
The petitioner in the case is Melissa
Carpenter, a sister of the decedent,
residing at Franklin Grove, ILL.,, who
with her sister, Fredie Bell of the same
place and her brother, Martin Johnson,
residing at Olin, Iowa, were named as
legatees, share and share alike in the
will. The daughter of Mrs. Johnson
resides in Los Angeles and is the wife
of Frank Sherbourne. Under the will
she was disinherited, one dollar being
left her.
The petition sets forth that Mrs.
Johnson executed the will during July,
1904, and named as executor Melville
C. Hester. After her death her effects
were searched, so the petition sets
forth, by her daughter and the will
found with its provision cutting her
off. In order to effect a distribution
of the estate that would include her,
she destroyed the will and set UP a
claim for her share under the inter-
state law.
A copy of the will having been kept
by the attorney who drew it up and
the witnesses who attested 1t being
known, the plaintiff seeks to have the
provisions of the destroyed will made
effective and sets forth that 1t was
wilfully and maliciously destroyed by
the daughter.

Los Angeles herald., 1906-04-12

Considerable progress was made yes
terday by the citizens committee of the
Young Mems Christian association
which is canvassing the business in
terests for funds for $350,000 building
AT meeting held in the afternoon,
at which the chairmen of several of the
groups were present. pledges amount
ing to S3600 were turned over to the
executive building campaign commit
tee. In addition to this, it was reported
that quite a number of large subscrip-
tions were in sight and doubtless would
be signed up in a day or two.
Yesterdays subscriptions bring the
total amount reported to oate up to
$161,S10, leaving a balance still to be
raised of $1SS,190 The work of the
citizens committee is beginning to tell,
both in the number and the size of the
subscriptions. The indications are that
the ratio will continue to increase from
now on until the close of the campaign
and that in the next two weeks the
building funds will be rapidly swelled.
Largest Subscribers
Among the largest of the recent sub
cribers are the Slauson estate and
has signed for $1,000. Judge ]. w. Nc
Kinley's name went down yesterday
for $500, and DR.. Francis Kellogg
pledged himself for $3.50. r. H. Howell
subscribed $3.50, and each of the follow
ing signed up for $100: Charles o.
Nourse, Lynn Helm, Will A. Harris, F.
H. Hamilton. w. l.. Dixie and John r.
Mathews. Fifty-dollar subscriptions
were turned in by w. E. Tyler and
Horace Wilson.
At the meeting yesterday, J. E. Carr,
chairman of the executive building
campaign committee called the atten-
ton of the chairmen of the various
groups of the citizens committee to the
fact that only eighteen working days
now remain in which to complete this
canvass and that this meant hard and
earnest work on the part of every per-
son interested in this movement.
Officers Sacrifices
In this respect the officials of the Y
M. C. A. are setting an, example, most
of them now giving up the greater part
of their time to this project to the
neglect of their private affairs.
They feel, however, that Los Angeles
must have Y. M. C. A. building that
will supply the needs of the association
in this respect, and they have put
their shoulders to the wheel with the
idea of accomplishing the desired re-
suit.
The proposition which they have sub
mitted to the citizens of Los Angeles
is similar to one that has been indorsed
by the people of a large number of
other cities to the extent of subscribing
all the money required, and in some
cases more than had been asked for by
the officials of the Y. M. C. A. Some
committees which are not nearly so
large or so prosperous as Los Angeles
have subscribed nearly as much money
as is deemed necessary to supply the
needs of the local association in the
way of a building.
