Show INTERES I INQ LAW8UIT. An Interesting and Important suit has been commenced in thu Second District Court and the outcome will be awaited wlih considerable Interest lu all parts of the Slate. The circumstances seem to hu as follows: A man tmmod Lay-tun Lay-tun died Intestate, leaving considerable property and four wives, each occupy log a seperale home. A sou of tno first wife whs appointed administrator and now brings suit ngi1nst thu polygamic polyg-amic wives to dlsposscs them of their homes, If tho suit Is successful, it will unque' lenubly mean nu enormous amount ot similar litigation all over the State. W'e believe U to ho tho duty of every mun, who In tho old days married, mar-ried, tuoro Mum one wife, Io care for and support bis plural wives and It Is also a duty to protect them from such litigation arising after his death. Even it will giving these wives the property pro-perty they occupy might be successfully success-fully contested, As the Randolph Roundup says: Pnlvganilo wives should Insist upon h deed to their homesteads an'absuiute title. Stlah wlSUba.tba, only cdvw absolutely ab-solutely prevent litigation ami lots, t Tltii Salt Lake Broad Ax reports that sonio of the friends of Jtrtlgq W. II, King believe that he 111' sever his connection with tho Deniocrailo party because of bin failure to seenro tho election to the United 8tates "Semite. We do not believe anything of the kind Judge King Is ton much of a Democrat and inn good a citizen tn allow al-low t-ueh a matter to carry him cot- rarv tohlshonuit pnlliol convictions. Jodgo King wiii an able and most acceptable ac-ceptable Representative In Conurcss of the people of Utah. Thu people nt Utah Would have been more than pleased to ngaln give him that honor. That the fortunes and nncertalniles of politics did not make him Untied St'ttes Senator Is no evidence that ho would not have been acceptable tn Hie iienpleof the Slain In lht position, and no argument, against his fitness. Wo believe Judge King has loo great a mind to sulk over political defeat, and that be will be found In thu Tutum as In tho past working for Utah mid for tho Democrnt'c partv of the Stale. |
