Lark, Utah, June AFTER twenty
five years of married life, and after
having been the mother of his eleven
children, Mrs. jackson Ayers, the wife
of carpenter, formerly of this place,
has been sued for divorce on the ground
of desertiOn. Behind the dry details
as they are set forth in the papers in
the case, lies the pathetic story of a
patient, accomplishing, faithful wife,
deserted by her husband for a younger
" oman, the wife's sister in this case
proving the lure.
A quarter of a century ago Mr.. and
Mrs. Ayers became converts to the
faith of the Latter-day Saints. They
emigrated to Utah; they were sealed in
the temple and, according to all the
testimony. they were happy until a
short time ago, when Ayers returned to
his old home in Georgia.
The buxom sister If Mrs. Ayers, living
in the old family home, won Hyers
heart, hands down. He promptly for
got his steadfast companion of many
years, after he had found his twin soul
in the soul of her who remained in the
southern state.
1t is said that true love never did
run smooth, but il appears to have run
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1907-06-02

Mrs. Ayers is determined that the little
property accumulated through the long
and tedious efforts of ferself and her
husband shall be surrounded with safe
guards that will insure it against re-
verting to her husband and his twin
soul, or both of them In the event
that a deed to property is forthcoming,
Mrs. Ayers is willing that her husband
shall go to his twin soul and. for the
matter of that, to keep on going after
he gets there.
Ayers. doubtless. with heart-rending
agony. has torn himself away from his
twin soul in Georgia long enough to
come to Utah to settle up his temporal
affairs. The settlement of those tenn
poral affairs may involve more difficult
ties than either Mr.. Ayers of his ~ \
soul SUSPECTED when he bearded the
train. His charge of desertion is con-
sidered humorous by those who are
eonversant with the facts.

COURT ALLOWS PLURAL WIFE TO
HOLD PROPERTY DECIDED BY HUSBAND

Judge Morse yesterday decided that
edges a plural wife for thirty-one
years, and by whom he has had ten
children cannot compel her to deed
property back to him which ne freely
gave IT, even though 1t was only the
day tefore he was sent to the state
mental hospital
The case in question was that
brought by Daniel Jones against Ellen
Joyce Evans. The comDiaint asserts
that on Sept. s, 1902. he decided Prop
erty to her consisting of a tract of
land near Union, Salt Lake county.
The next day, it is alleged, he was
sent to the insane asylum because 6s
an injury to his head received year

before. The complaint says that the
plural wife took advantage of his con-
dition to secure the property.
The allegations made by the wife are
to the effect that Jones gave her the
property freely, and that she was en-
titled TO it, as she had been his wife
since 1875 and had born bin ten chill
dren. nine of whom are living. She
also asserts that he has Always MAIN
tanned her in home os her own and
has acknowledged her 1Iid her chit
dren openly. Their home mas always
been on the property in question.
Judge Morse decided that the plural
wife's contention was correct and that
she did net take advantages of her
husband in securing a decd to the

in cost is the material and the cost of making

limitations Of leather is wasted cost the
Wearer must pay for and receive no extra value.
{ Why this wasted money? Why buy shoes made

not to sell such shoes. If you prefer such be-

leather saved by substituting paper would cost
from twenty-five to fifty cents pair Of shoes,

way he WI: be obliged to go elsewhere Sew
eral months ago we decided to handle honest shoes
made from leather, We wrote to several man

we wanted. We finally made contract with
Hamilton & Brown Shoe Co. in which they agree
not to send me shoe at any price in which there
had been used an imitation of leather Ishall

A Card from Dr.. Dye.

James Yoak, of near town, has
typhoid fever, and has been q
very sick man for over three
weeks. He is doing as well as
could be expected yet there is an
idea among some that he will not
recover.
Senator" Yoak tells Polly
Pool that Or. Dye will let
James die" and Polly tells Mrs.
Dye, and tits hard to tell how
many may hear such. Now we
are not known for carelessness
among typhoid patients Oh other
bad or serious sickness in fami-
lies whom we treat. Being busy
at times we may pass off less
things lightly.
Now likely this all comes from
James having no special nurse,
but we think we know what is
for the best. A good nurse is ell
right in It's place. This is q large
subject, who nurses.
Now for God s sake keep closed
lips and await the future. Some
one may and will tell the patient,
or talk where they may get these
things. In short give me the
honest young man or woman who
will do as directed by the physi-
clan, and not a professional nurse
with 4 or 6 or 8 months exper-
fence, as has been my luck to see,
knowing TOO much and doing too
much. w. 7. w. DYE, al. d.
