This testimony was but side line to
the main events that led up to the di-
vorce courts for the Wilfongs, however
Mrs. Wilfong told how she bought S25

came greatly incensed at such a lavish
expenditure and threatened to break
them all to pieces. Mrs. Wilfong was
given a decree of divorce.

the railroad submitted compromise OIL

This proposal provoked a storm OF
protests from residents on the west SIDE;
One faction insisted upon the miro

GROCER is HELD UP
BY A LONE ROBBER
Armed Man Enters Store and Forces
C.. M. King to Surrender
$50.

c. NJ. King was robbed in his grocery
store, sol South West Temple street, by
an unmasked man armed with a revol-
yer, shortly before 9 o'clock last night
Tho holdup got about $50, part OF IL
from the cash register and part from the
pockets OF Mr.. King.
A purse containing s35, which the
grocer laid down when the robber ordered
him to throw up his hands, was over
looked, In laying the purse on u shelf
under the counter. Mr.. King, who is an
elderly man, dropped II on his pistol,
but he made no attempt to pick up the
weapon. A small hoy who was in the
store when the robber drew his gun,
lodged behind the counter until after
the holdup left.
From the description Of the robber
given by Mr.. King, 1t is believed that
he was one of the pair that held
up the Mt. Olivet street car wednesday
night, The only difference in the gem
eral description was that in the robbery
last night the man wore n cap while
both men wore hats in the street car
robbery. II is thought that a second
man was stationed outside tho grocery
store as a lookout" though no one saw
him.
AS soon as the robber had left the
store Mr.. King notified the police by
telephone and search OF the neIghborhood
was made. but no suspicious looking per-
sons were found.

NOTED DEMOCRATIC
SPEAKERS COMING
Local Democracy Is Arranging for a
Great Love Feast On
April 5.

One or more Democratic speakers OF
national prominence will probably be
invited to meet with the Utah Demo
Gratis at their state conference to be
held in Salt Lake on April and TO ad-
dress the Democrats on national poll
tics.
The committee of Democrats to ar
range the programme for the confer
ence met yesterday afternoon at the
office of James II. Moyle and outlined
a tentative programme. Those who
will be asked TO speak at the confer
ence, however, will be consulted before
the programme is made public.
The fact that conference railroad
rates will be on at the time of the con-
ference leads the committee TO the be-
lief that there will be u large gather
ing Of Democrats on the occasion of
the meeting. Participation In the
meeting will be limited 10 members OF
the state committee, the chairmen OF
county committees and the precinct
ehairmen. A full attendance would
bring the number of those participating
in the gathering to about 600.
