ACCUSES FORMER HUSBAND
Mrs. Shreeve Wants Wagstaff Arrest
ed for Failing to Support
Children.

Mrs. Lucy Jane Shreeve, formerly
Mrs. Lucy Jane Wagstaff, wife of
Frederick c. Wagstaff, swore out a
warrant for her former husbands ar
rest yesterday on the ground that he
has failed to support their children
since July l last, although ordered by
the court when she secured her divorce
on May 81 to pay $50 month.
This action serves to complicate d
case which has. because of recent de-
velopments, become more or less nc
toriOus. On Oct. 10 last Wagstaf asked
the district court to modify the decree
granting his wife a divorce by turn
ing the custody of the children over
TO him. He alleged that his former
wife had left two of them at the
Kea-ns-St AIMS orphanage. and two
others with friends in different parts Of
the city, and had done nothing to aid
them. He charged his wife with num-
erOus jndiscTetiOns since she secured
her divorce, alleging that during tine
summer she visited the salt Talace
with People of a low ard disso ute
character and that she frequentec
wine rooms and other disreputaple
places.
In her answer the former wife as
serted that she was too poor to take
charge of the children, and that she
left them with friends end at the or
phanaee because her divorced husband
did not provide her with money enough
to support them.
On Nov. IS she was married to Alon-
20 SnTeeVe, her present husband.

AMPUTATED TAIL INTRODUCED AT
HORSE MATINEE in SMITHS COURT

Mrs Ella StahI claimed the horse and
sued Robert Elite to gain possession OF
him. Mr.. Elite was positive that the AMI
NAL was his.
In support of her claim Mrs. Stahl
showed that she had purchased the horse
from NJ. w Shaw of the City Package
Delivery company and that Mr.. Shaw had
bought the animal from Leon Smith, and
that Mr.. Smith had acquired the sorrel
from Mr.. Lyman. That took the sorrel
back to childhood days.
Mr. Elite on the other hand. proved that
he had paid $40 to B. T. Fitzgerald of
Draper for the horse, and that Mr.. tltz-
gerald had secured the animal from Rob
ert Giles of Heber City. Mr.. Giles is
owner of the Lazy X" brand. and the
horse, according TO this testimony, was
taken from his herd.
Mrs Stahl testified that her horse had
Jumped a fence and ran away last
March 1t is thought that the horse may
have wandered back to the Giles herd.
This might explain the perplexing ques-
tiOns of the case.

quite substantial donations of money were
added to the fund. The clothing was all

One, or rather three, of the most ap-

money and asked to have ii added TO
the fund. The employees of the Deseret

Powell admitted that he owed May SIS,

animal with a large. flowing tail which
was a thing of beauty, but q troublesome
appendage to keep clean. May he said,

operation had taken SIS from the value
of the animal On the contrary, in his
opinion, the horse was better than ever.

Both Expected Today.

The Minnesota and the Kentucky are
both expected TO drop anchor in Hamp-

Maine, which two short years ago was
the flagship of the cOmmander-in-chief.
but is now thrown back TO eleventh
place in the list came in today, max
ing fourteen battleships at anchor off
here.
The ships are disposed in two long
lines leading in a crescent which begins
just OF Old Point pier, and points to-
ward Norfolk. The Connecticut which
lies scarcely more than a stones throw
from the pier, heads the column near
est shore. Next TO her is the sister
ship, the Louisiana, the champion hard
hitting fast-firing vessel of her class
and then in turn come the Kansas and
the Vermont, all registering $1,000 tons,
and belted with steel that is rated we'll
nigh impregnable. These four vessels
compose the first division of the first
squadron of the fleet, and are the per-
sonal barges of Rear Admiral Evans.
Second Division.
The second division in the first squad
ron is made UP of the Georgia, Virginia,
New Jersey and Rhode Island. The
flag of Rear Admiral William II. En-
cry. in command of the division, floats
from the Georgia truck. 1t also bears
two stars, but in distinction from that
of the chief. the flag has
a red field. the same being true of all
of the three rear admirais who have
command of the divisions under Ad-
miral Evans.
Both absentees from the fleet today
we're in the second squadron column. a
vacant berth at the head of the line
was left for the Minnesota, which is
bound down the coast from the New
York navy yard. The Minnesota was
the last of the big vessels to dock at
New York, and was given forty-hOurs'
grace under the orders TO report in
Hampton Roads not later than today.
Awaiting the Minnesota in the second
squadron are the Maine, Ohio and the
Missouri, of the third division of the
fleet. and in the fourth division are the
Alabama. flagship of Rear Admiral
Sperry; the Illinois and the Kearsarge.
The Kentucky will complete this di-
vision and squadron when she arrives
from Boston. Like the Minnesota, the
Kentucky was repaired at the Norfolk
navy yard. but was sent away to be
