Anna Walker vs James Walker: divorce granted.

Sarah E Bolles vs John Ward Bolles: divorce granted, and Complainant granted right to resume her former name of Sarah E Walker

Elizabeth Gibson vs William A Gibson: divorce granted, and complainant allowed to resume maiden name of Elizabeth Hobbs.


Thomas Murphy of Bellmont who has been working at Carey’s stave mill at Golden Gate fell in a vat of boiling water, Wednesday and was so severely scalded that he died early Thursday morning.
