issued by the government. Mr., Hart
is Utah man., educated in the state
university, His books arc said to be eX-
cellent works, whose information is given

more remote parts to reclaim less valu-
able areas at as great OF even greater
expense.

M'MILLAN SUITS
COME TO A CLOSE
Contest Which Was Fought in
Court for Years Is Settled by
Stipulation.

BY stipulation entered before Judge G.
w. Morse in the district court YESTERDAY,
the case OF Mary Jane Mcmillan against
Daniel Mcmillan for separate rnainten- :
ance. which has encumbered records of
the district court for nearly five years.
is settled and all actions growing out OF
1t. including suit for alienation OF al.
fections filed by Mrs. Mcmillan against
Mary c. Matson. are dismissed.
The Mcmillan suit had come TO be
known as the hardest fought and longest
drawn out case OF its kind on record In
the district court. The record Of actions
long ago became too small to hold the
numerous entries and extra sheets have
been inserted In the book from time to
time to accommodate the case.
yesterday, Mcmillan Is to deed to his
Wife parcel OF land in Davis county OF
considerable value and give her $500 In
lieu OF alimony. She. in turn is to with
against Mrs. Matson and TO permit the
dismissal of the numerous orders to show
cause that have been issued.
Back in 1908 Mrs. Mcmillan sued for
separate maintenance. After years OF
battling in the courts s;,e won decree
giving her a certain amount of alimony
for support Mcmillan has been cited
times innumerable on orders to show
cause why he should not be held in con-
tempt OF court for failure TO pay the all
mony. Bench warrants have been issued
for him and the county jail has yawned
for him on more than one occasion
A year ago Mrs. Mcmillan filed suit
against Mary c, Matson for s25, 600 dam
tions. Later she filed a suit against both
Mcmillan and Mrs. Matson to recover pos
session of property which she charged
Mrs: Matson with having obtained from
Mcmillan by undue influence. All these
cases are dismissed under the order en-
tered yesterday.

Davis had firted with death a thou

about twelve years ago. He was convict

the governor and went forth free man.

gallows FOR seyeral years. The friend

OF Nevada. saved his life.
When Goldfied appeared upon the
map Davis went to that camp and re-
mained there for number of years. In
the various clashes between the Miners
union and the mine owners Davis was
always on the side OF the mine owners
and for a long period hardly day passed
that he did not receive several letters ad-
vising him. that lie would be assassinated
In the event that lie did not leave the
camp within twenty-four hours. Davis

Governor Spry Talks.

Governor Spry and ATTORNEY General
4. r. Barnes appeared before the com :
mssiouers on behalf OF the contracting
company. Both urged that the permis-
sion be given. declaring that the state
capitol commission had figured all along
on having the material hauled by rail and
had not made allowance for the extra
time and cost OF hauling by teams
In voting agninst the franchise. Com
missioner Korns argued that it would es-
tablish a, bad precedent for one thing
and that hereafter the city could be
forced TO grant the same privilege TO any
contractor. thus bringing about q prac-
lice of hauling freight generally over the
street car tracks. This argument was
met with the assertion that the building
of the capitol was a public enterprise and
was entitled to extra consideration. .
3 The motion 10 grant the franchise, SUBJ
mitted by Commissioner Richard p Nor
Tis. provides that the company shall haul
material only between a. III and p.
m, and must put up q bond for $4,000
10 indemnify the city from any damages
that might arise from the heavy traffic.
The permit is for two years.
