THE SUIT OF THE DISSATISFIED HEIRs-cURIoIs
COMMENT OF A MORMON PAPER.
On Saturday afternoon q suit was instituted
ia the Third District Court by Eneiine A.
Young, on behalf Of herself and the heirs-at-
law and legatees and beneficiarieS under the
last will and testament OF Brigham Young, de-
ceased, plaintiff, against George q. Cannon and
Albert Darlington, and Brigham Young, execu-
tors OF the last will and testament OF Brigham
Young, late deceased, and John Taylor, john
George Goddard, Leonard w. Hardy, Theodore
Mexican, Joseph G. KtngSbury, and Angus NJ.
Cannon, defendants. the matter has been
and though the complaint was died In the court
early on Saturday afternoon, for some unac-
countable reason only certain parties were al
lowed any Information on the subject. The
grievances too numerous to mention, charging
the executors with frauds of every description
faPab h OF being penetrated under the oilice
fusion With President John Taylor and others,
the purpose OF the cOlusOn being TO rob the heirs
OF portion OF the property and money alleged
10 belong lawfully to them. The amount sued
for and Gained to have been frauduleatly
taken from the heirs sis not less than 81 900 0)o"
The complaint is very specific, and is one OF the
most complete articles Of the kind ever gotten
up In this territory. In this connection an ap-
piication was made for an injunction restrain
ing the executors from further pursuance of
thelr duties, and asking the appointment Of re-
celvers to take charge OF the property pending
the trial OF the suit, and without giving the
ue1enuanJS an opportunity to be heard the in.
JUNCTION was granted a bond OF $1,000 being
filed, and Judges Sutherland and Mcbride be-
coming the surettes. w. s. Mccormick, Esq,
ana Marshal Shaughnessy were appointed re-
ceivets, the bonds being fixed at sioO, 900. Mr.
Mccormick has not yet filed his bond, and as
MARSHAL ShaughneSSy Is not 10 the city OF
course MS bond is not filed; he is not expected
TO return until the last OF the month"; TIlford
& Hagan and Sutherland & Mcbride are the at
torneyS for the plaintiff
up to last evening the defendants had taken
no action IN the matter, though it had been ex-
peCteo tnat some course would be followed; and
l1 Is not yet known what the line OF defense will
be; The trustee in trust has employed Richards
d Williams, of ogden; Aurelius Miner. esq, of
This city, and Judge DuSenberry. OF Provo as
ms counsel; on the part of the executors, Sheeks
while 1t Is anticipated that some eminent legal
ABILITY will be brought from the east to defend
the case for the latter parties
Inc peculiar circumstances Of the case and
desira lie to the people of Utah that this fight
should not occur; and a d.sinterested person
would naturally think that the heirs and chill
dren OF Brigham Young would be the last to
upon by attorneys and the public the last to
want his actions made the subject OF LAWYERS
an1madversions and popular criticism; the last
TO place their fathers name In what may be
called false light, and cast shadow upon his
memory. 1t frequently happens In post mortem
quarIels OF this kind that actions that were all
right and proper and could be so shown were
the persons alive to explain them, are, by the
when the parties and means for giving correct
explanations have passed away. 1t is hoped
that this Will not prove such q case, and that no
attempt Will be made 10 throw mud or wash
should take more property than President
Young left TO induce his children to try to bring
his name into d1srespecr and put stain upon
MS memory.-[saH Lake {UtaH Herald, June IL
