WORKED BUT LITTLE AFTER HIS MARRIAGE
Free Board and Lodging Followed When Boughan Wedded Widow.
Elizabeth Boughan, who married Joseph Boughan at Bingham January 29, 1905, has tired of her bargain and wants to again take the name of her first husband, West. She alleges in her divorce complaint, filed in the district court yesterday, that he had deserted her in September, 1906. Boughan is a carpenter, aged 46, and earns $150 a month, but has not contributed to their joint support.
Indeed, from the story the wife tells, he seems to have had the best of the bargain, for he lived with his wife in the rooming house which she kept, and paid nothing for board and room. Mrs. Boughan was the widow of John West, and she asks the court to continue her in the title to the property left her by West, which consists of real estate in Bingham canyon, including the boarding and rooming house. She also asks for the costs of the suit.

WIFE SEEKS RELIEF AS HUSBAND’S MEAL TICKET
Elizabeth Boughan wants a decree of divorce from Joseph A. Boughan upon the ground generally that she has had to do the major part of the hustling since their marriage and that Joseph has failed to contribute anything toward her support. Mrs. Boughan also alleges that during the time she and Boughan lived together he boarded and roomed at her boarding house and failed to come across with the necessary.
The Boughans were married January 29, 1905, and Mrs. Boughan says that her husband deserted her in September, 1906. During the marriage, she adds, Boughan lived at her boarding house, but paid nothing for his meals or room. Mrs. Boughan sets out further that she owned certain property at Bingham at the time of her marriage and she asks the Third District court to decree that his property is her’s individually.

BOUGHAN SAYS WIFE IS NOT DEPENDENT ON HIM
Joseph A. Boughan has filed an answer to the complaint in divorce proceedings recently instituted against him by his wife, Elizabeth Boughan. In the Third District court, Mrs. Boughan asked for a decree on the ground of failure to support, alleging that her husband had lived with her at her boarding house and had failed to come across with any money.
Boughan admits that he has failed to support his wife since their separation in 1906, but says that his wife has collected $180 from their joint properties since that time and that his wife is not dependent upon him for support. Boughan also says he contributed $2000 toward improving his wife’s property during the time that they lived together. His prayer is that his wife’s complaint be dismissed and that he be given an interest in the real estate standing in his wife’s name for the advances made and labor done by him.

BINGHAM. Mrs. Joseph Boughan and sons, John, Fred and Lawrence, spent a few days sightseeing at the capital during the week. [The Salt Lake Herald, 23 August 1908, page 12.]

BOUGHAN DIVORCE ACTION IS DISMISSED BY COURT
Judge Morse on Wednesday dismissed the complaint and cross-complaint in the divorce case of Elizabeth Boughan against Joseph Boughan. The parties formerly resided in Bingham, and Mrs. Boughan charged her husband with desertion and non-support. Mr. Boughan filed a cross-complaint, in which he charged his wife with desertion. He alleged that his wife left Bingham about two years ago and came to Salt Lake to reside.
After hearing the evidence the court found that neither side had proved grounds for divorce and hence both the complaint and the cross-complaint were dismissed.
