JAMES l. GALLAGHER DECLARES
WIFE'S CONDUCT A DIRTY SHAME

General uncleanliness on the part of
his wife, Harriet S. GALLAGHER, is one
of the grounds upon which James l.
GALLAGHER is seeking a divorce The
complaint was filed yesterday in the
district court
First he accuses her of being a poor
housekeeper, and says that ever since
their marriage in Salt Lake, Oct. 1S.
1883. and especially for the past ten
years, she has kept the different houses
where they have resided Gin a filthy,
unclean and insanitary condition, by
reason of which said plaintiffs homes
have been during the greater portion
of said time totally unfit for the plain
tiff and his children to reside therein. +"
The wife is also accused of neglect
ing and failing to care for their six
children for the past three years, so
that they became and continued to be
during the greater portion of said time
so filthy I'm person that the neighbors
and acquaintance of plaintiff and OF
said minor children have refused to

DEMURRER IN WATER SUIT
Fifteen Defendants In Famous Prog
ress Case Say Complaint Is
Insufficient.

Fifteen of the defendants in the case
of the Progress company against Salt
Lake City, Milo Andrus ct al, for
damages caused by the building Of the
Big Cottonwood conduit, filed a de-
murrer to the complaint yesterday in
the district court. 1t is stated i'm the
demurrer that the complaint does not
state facts sufficient to constitute a
cause of action, that the complaint is
uncertain in that it does not appear at
what point or points the plaintiff
claims the right to divert the water of
Big Cottonwood stream claimed by it,
and because it does not state the guam
THY of water plaintiff claims to have
the right to use for power purposes
nor the quantity it has a right to use
for domestic and irrigation purposes.
Those that participate in the demUr-
rer are H. A. Bagley Charles Bagley
William Boyce, Brigham Smith, Isaac
Ferguson, Isaac Ferguson, jr., John p.
Hanson, George A. Boyce. Thomas
Hobbs, Thomas H. Pierce. William W.
Smith, d. D. Tarpey, Alexander DAHL
and NJ. c. Walker.
This is the famous case in Which
Judge Morse issued a restraining order
preventing the city from using the new
conduit, and which resulted in Il $500
fine for Mayor Thompson for contempt
of court because the city did not obey
the injunction. The injunction has
been subsequently modified by the con-
sent of all parties, and the city is now
using water from the conduit and will
do so until the suit is settled, which
will probably not happen for several
years.

Boys BAND WILL GO EAST
Children's Play to Be Presented
Again to Defray Expenses
of Trip,

The TOymaker's Dream" which was
given at the Salt Lake theatre last
Wednesday evening by over sixty of
the Salt Lake theatre Monday evening,
June "a
There has been a public demand for
a second performance, not only because
of the success attending the first pro-
duction. but because there has been no
entertainment given the past season
that appeals to children as does this
one.
In addition to the regular play, there
will be added extra numbers, both mu-
steal and special stunts. There viii be
in this second performance over 100
children. There will be introduced Pc
ter Pan" music. The Juvenile band and
orchestra will play at the beginning
and between acts. One of their num-
bers will be the "NewhOuse Club
March," a new piece composed by the
leader of the band, l. P. Christensen.
The proceeds Of the entertainment
will be devoted to the eastern trip of
the juvenile band. 1t is believed that
the trip of the juvenile band to the
large cities will be of the greatest
value as a Utah advertisement. The
band is under the management OF
Charles Hahn, until recently chief pro-
baton officer of the juvenile court. L.
p. Christensen and E. II. Reynolds,
formerly superintendent of the Morris
school and teacher in the Franklin
school, will also accompany the band.
The band leaves here on July Is. stop
ping at Laramie, WyO.: Chautauqua
and on to Iowa. Chicago is reached
July "A, where the boys play two en-
gagements. In northern Indiana they
have three weeks engagements, visit
ing many cities in that state, also
Wheeling, w. Va; Richmond, Louis
vile, Ky; st. Louis and other cities.
Utah literature will be distributed and
the boys expect to convince fasteners
of the glories of Utah
The Utah Juvenile band will also in
clude some of Ogden's young must
clans. and the Junction City is enter
ing into the arrangements to assist the
bows as we'll as advertise the state. The
play THE Toymaker's Dream" will be
given i'm the opera house in Ogden next
week. the band going up to assist, as it
will here Monday night.
The ladies who have been interested
in the general work among the boys
of the city are assisting in the plans,
led by Mrs Kate Bridewell Anderson
and Mrs A l.. Young.

associate with them and have Stunned
and scorne6 plaintiff and his family by
reason of the filthy condition of said
children
The wife is also accused of falsely.
wickedly and Wilfully" charging her
husband with being untrue to her and
with circulating said false and scam
dalous statements" among the neigh
bors, all of which created public scan
dal and brought plaintiff into public
disgrace.
In addition to all this, GALLAGHER
charges his wife with cruelty. He says
that she often uses the most vile, vul-
gar and abusive language towards him
and the children, and that during the
past six years the language she has
used has been of such a character as
to make it wholly unfit to place on the
records of the court.
The children range in age from II to
3, and the court is asked to allow the
plaintiff to care for them until the &C.
ton is settled. as the mother is said to
be wholly unfit to have their custody.
