Show District Court Calendar is Quickly Dispatched With demurrers introduced and overruled, ov-erruled, many of them without argument, argu-ment, and the statutory time given for answer in moat cases, a considerable number of the civil eases appearing on the calendar for the third term of court were thus briefly disposed of, and adjournment came Thursday noon nly two of the cases being at all lengthy. leng-thy. The only criminal case on the calendar, cal-endar, that of the state against Casper Cas-per Christensen jr., accused of failure to support his minor children, was settled set-tled with the stipulation that the defendant de-fendant should pay $5 per week toward to-ward the support of the minor children child-ren for one year or until further order from the court. Bond in the sum of $260 was given for the performance of the agreement. Interlocutory decrees of divorce were given Mrs. L. W. McCarty and Mrs. W. 1). Thompson, both of Groen River, after some rather high-colored bits of testimony werr given by the women as reasons for being in the divorce di-vorce market, each of the Women acting act-ing as witness for the other. The husbands hus-bands failed to make any appearance in either case and the knot was untied in short order. Mrs. McCarty is the mother of three children, aged 8, 6, and 4; and Mrs. Thompson is the mother of two, aged 15 and 13 years. The children were awarded to the care of the mothers in both cases and Mrs. McCarty and children will take up their residence in Salt Lake while Mrs. Thompson will reside In Provo. Neither party asked for alimony, but Mr. Thompson voluntarily settled the sum of 17000 on Mrs. Thompson and children. It would do almost any native-born citizen of this glorious land to attend a naturalization session such as that of Monday afternoon when five of those listed for examination as to their fitness for admission to citizenship appeared before Judge Christensen, with their witnesses, and underwent such a grilling as very few of the native-born could pass off with colors, flying. The applications of Christian and Hans Arnold Eberstein, brothers, of Ferron, both natives of Germany, were held up until the termination of the war or until eongress may remove the present bar to the admission to citizenship of any person owing allegiance al-legiance to a country with which the United States is at war. The testimony of the witnesses in both cases was carefully taken down by the court reporter, re-porter, and the judge expressed himself him-self as satisfied with the testimony. John William Behling, also of Ferron, failed to appear and his application was continued over to the next term of court. The application of Wm. Wad-dell Wad-dell Graham of Molen was also continued con-tinued as the applicant was lacking certain necessary depositions from California, where he formerly resided. resid-ed. Iemuel Williams of Huntington, a subject of England; Mike Spadafora of Green River, a subject of Italy; and Carl Emil Nielsen of Ferron, a native of Denmark; all received admittance into United States citizenry. It was early foreseen that there would be no cases for a jury and so It was not necessary to call any of the list given in last issue.
