GLADYS S, COOK THREATENS TO
CARVE OUT HER HUSBANDS LIVER

Not desiring to be a target for kitchen
utensils and odd bits of household fur
niture, Joseph Cook yesterday brought
suit for divorce against Gladys S. Cook.
To be technical. Joseph really brought
suit on November 10. 1907. but apparently
he has been living with his wife since and,
becoming discouraged a second time. filed
an amended complaint. in which he re-
cites his troubles since the first was filed
and also throws in a few more for luck.
The Cooks were married at Ogden, Oc-
tober S. 1906. and ever since that occur
renee. Cook says mat his life has been
almost unbearable because of the vicious
temper of his Wife Her principal delight
seemed TO be hurting lamp chimneys. bot
ties. books. plates. cups and a great va
riety of other things at his unsuspect-
ing head. Some took effect and some
missed. but those that missed narrowed
up his feelings just as those that hit
decorated his countenance. The mental
distress he suffered must have broken
all records. for after every charge against
the wife. Cook says that the incident
caused him anguish of the worst kind.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1908-07-12

The Cooks have lived in a number OF
places. according to the complaint, put
have always been elected because the
wife kicked up such a row on every pos,
sible occasion At one time they nveo
at No. Thornton avenue, 1854 South Mest
Temple and the Taylor house on East
Second South.
From all these places they have been
compelled to move, because OF the al,
titude towards things in general assumed
by Mrs. Cook.
Among other pleasantries which the
wife is said to have INDUCED in was
threatening now and then to cut out ner
husbands liver and accompanying her
threat By welding a large, sharp outcner
knife.
Again she would kick bruise and beat
him. IT is charged, and when In the mood
would kick him out of their home.
The climax came on July g. and g. On
the first two dates the husband says that
she remained out all night and on the
last date disappeared and he has not seen
her since.
He asks for the custody of 4-months-
old babe

A Word of Introduction.

At the request OF w. p. Cooper, the
secretary and manager of the Polk COM
pany in Salt Lake, Fisher Harris, the
secretary of the Commercial club, has
written the following introduction:
THE people of Salt Lake City may well
be gratified at the remarkable progress
the city has made along all the lines of
municipal development during the past
twelve months.
1.-The increase in population has not
only been large, as indicated by the size
of this volume compared with that or
the preceding issue, but the general char
acter of the people making up the addi-
tional population is eminently satisfac-
tory from all the standpoints of good
citizenship.
salt Lake City is the actual geo
graphical and commercial center of an
area of country containing, by reason OF
it's varied natural resources, the great
est wealth producing possibilities pos
seSsed by any similar extent or country
in the United States.
1.-THE city draws constantly lncreas-
ing tribute of wealth each year from the
mines, mills, ranches and ranges of Utah.
Idaho. Wyoming. Montana and Nevada.
The people who make their fortunes in
these states look to Salt Lake City as
a place of permanent residence and IN
vestment They are drawn here by the
characteristic American desire for the
best things of life, and they find them
here in our splendid educational system
schools colleges, Observation-Disclosures,
institutions of literature, science, music
and art. theatres, parks and public pleas
ure resorts.

Growth Is Substantial.

1.-The substantial growth of the city is
perhaps best shown by the wonderful
building boom" which has been in pro-
gress during the years 1907 and 1908, and
which. at this writing, gives no sign of
dimnution.
This remarkable building activity is as
noticeable in the residential as in the bus
mess districts of the city. Salt Lake City
at last finds itself in the 'skyscraper'
class and official statistics indicate that
In this phase of community development
Salt Lake leads every city of her size in
the nation.
1.-The gigantic task of paving the broad
streets of the city is well under way and
a new era of individual and municipal
interest in civic beauty is upon us, so
that not many years will pass before Salt
Lake City, already beautiful. will be the
City Beautiful of the trans-Mississippi
country.
The strong financial condition of our
banks and business institutions was sat
isfactorily demonstrated during the mon
ey panic of the past year. which not only
brought no failures. but no suggestion of
weakness.
because Of the conditions briefly pre-
sented here and by reason of her SUI
perb climate and the exquisite beauty
of her scenic environment. Salt Lake City
holds out more attractions to the tour
list. the home seeker or the investor than
does any other city within the range of
our knowledge.
