A LIE NAILED.
A Story of Police Brutality Busted
by Justice Speirs. b.

1t is a very frequent occurrence for
the Salt Lake Tribune to champion the
cause OF persons who have been ar
rested for Offenses against the city or
dinances, particularly if statements are
made-nO matter how untrue-refect-
ing upon the conduct of the officers
when making arrests. The paper men
toned takes up the flimsiest statements
and makes a great expose ca of the Of
ficers' alleged brutality, and when facts
are known there is nothing in them.
But still, charges are made against the
ponce and they have been greatly mis-
represented
We do not claim that our force is
composed of angels, but it is certainly a
fact that they have been charged with
being brutal and savage when not the
slightest cause existed.
An accusation, such as we have often
heard exploded in its incipiency yester-
day afternoon in the Police Court A
young man, named 4 Shear, was ar
rested Wednesday night for drunken
ness, disorderly conduct and profanity,
and when arraigned Yesterday, pleaded
guilty-desiring TO make a statement
in the case. Being granted the
privilege, he went on to say that
he was arrested in front of the White
House by Officers Thomas and A Smith,
and that without the slightest resist
ance, and while signifylng his willing
ness to go to Jail peaceably, ne was
struck by both of the officers, felled to
the ground and brutality beaten; that
| Ned Riggs was present and saw the oc-
curTence and would testify to the truth
of the whole of his statement.
This was stated so deliberately, and
| seriously, that Justice Speirs decided to
! institute an Investigation In the matter,
and Ned Riggs was subpRnaed. The
officers denied the charge of Shear, and
| Riggs, Shears own witness, when put
upon the stand told a straight story
! He saw the arrest made, not at the
! White House, but at the saloon under
the Wasatch building when defendant
was challenging the town TO engage in
| mortal combat saw Officers Smith and
Thomas catch hold of his arms and
walk off with him; no blows were given
by either party; noStTugghng ensued a;
everything was done quietly and with
out force, the only noise being caused
be defendants swearing and challenging
TO fight.
Justice Speirs said that sufficient testi-
mony had been introduced To show that
Shear did not know what he was talk
ing about and that his statement
against the officers was untrue an6
malicious, and not entitled to consider
alton. He alluded to the disaSreeabI'
duties of the policemen and the aReunt
of abuse they were subject to, Of which
q resentment by them was the excep
tion, and advised the defendant to b
more careful of his statements Shea
was fined SIS for his part OF the row
IF he had told the Trib before Justie
Speirs learned his story and ventilate'
the business, we would have read II

THIRD DISTRICT COURT.
Proceedings before Chief Justice
Zane Yesterday.

The attention OF the presiding Judge
at this department of Justice yesterday
was given to several civil suits, DISPOSE
ton of which was made as follows:

yesterday, was denied excepted to.
Ray ii. Mcbride ct al. VS.. Chester w.
Collins ct al. trial resumed; H. A.
Chaffin sworn for plaintiff; Charles
Crismon, plaintiff, asked leave to amend
the complaint by changing the amount
prayed for therein; plaintiff rested;
defendant moved for a nOn-Suit; over
ruled. After testimony by Mr.. Strom.
one of the defendants, the evidence was
closed and the points argued by counsel
and submitted, when the Judge took
the matter under advisement.
E. Sells ct al. VS.. Chicago Con. and
S. Co. ct al; complaint amended bv
stipulation, and alias summons ordered
10 be issued.
Thomas A. Tenant VS.. William AYR
ton; Williams Il Young for plaintiff and
Arthur Brown for defendant. This is a
case in which the complainant alleges
that on the 1st of January, 1888, and
long prior thereto, he had been seized in
fee simple and IN possession of lot 2,
block 80, plat A, Salt Lake City survey
that he was the owner in fee Simple of
said premises, and at all times entitled
to the possession thereof; that about
the 1st of June, 1888, while so in posses
sion, defendant unlawfully ousted the
plaintiff from the possession of said
premises, and ever since that date has
and still does unlawfully withhold the
same from plaintiff, to his damage in
the sum of $500; wherefore, plaintiff
prays judgment for the possession of
said premises. and for his damages,
taxed at $500, and for costs of
suit. The answer to, the COM
plant denies that the plaintiff is
the owner of the lot in question, or any
part thereof, or entitled to, the posses
sion thereof, at any time, or at all ;. that
the plaintiff has been damaged by the
defendants Withholding said premises,
or the possession thereof, in the sum of
$500, or in any sum, or at all; that de-
PENDANT Wrongfully or otherwise ousted
plaintiff, and that defendant still un-
lawfully or otherwise Withholds said
premises from plaintiff. Defendant al
leges that he is entitled to possession,
having continuously, openly and nOto-
/ riouSly occupied the same for ten years
prior to the commencement of this suit,
and that such occupancyand possession
have been adverse to plaintiff or any
other claimanti wherefore, defendant
demands to be adiudged the owner of
said premises, and that he recover costs
in this behalf expended. The examina-
ton of Witnesses was begun at late
hour yesterday, and before the conelu-
sion OF the questioning of the first one
the court adjourned until this morning.
The questions involved in this case
are such as will draw forth some fine
points in law, and viii probably involve
brought out in the Cain-Stringfellow
trial, some years ago, as the possession
dispute arises from the anomalous con
dition of titles to property in the early
days of the ctty's existence.

CLEVELAND.
The Grand Governor ralks a Little

The Grand Governor Talks Little.
New York, December "A Washing
ton special to the Ereniag Post says:
a prominent Democratic member of
Congress who recently visited Governor
Cleveland, says the latter said to him:
L intend to resign on the 9Th of January
and as Northumberland Hill will
administer the executive Office for next
year, have turned the writing of the
message over to him. After laying
down the duties of Governor I Shall
listen to whatever my domestic friends
have to say, and | shall divide my time
between Albany and Buffalo until the
day arrives to go to Washington. | in
tend to give due consideration to the
counsel of my own party friends. 1t
may be when [ enter the presidential
office some things may not move as fast
as some Democrats wish, but think it
will be better to go slow and be sure.
We cannot hope to avoid mistakes, but
if we proceed slowly we will make
fewer mistakes than if we go with g.
rush."
The member of Congress with whom
Cleveland talked says the Governor viii
become President without any ambition
for second term; that he holds to the
second term principle laid down in his
letter of acceptance, and declared his
great object is to so administer govern
ment as to lay the foundation OF long
continued Democratic rule. ass
The Governor incidentally alluded to
the report of the QUARREL between him
and Hendricks, saying they did not in
their conversation discuss politics, and
that two men never parted more pleas
antly. This Congressman drew. from
his conversation with Cleveland that
the latter has not yet made up his mind
with regard to single Cabinet appoint
ment. He is deferring those matters UNI
til he retires from the governOrship.

The Academy Lecture.

The lecture delivered last evening by
Professor L. E. Holden, at Hammond
Hall, was attended by greater number
of citizens than any of the previous
ones of the series, evidencing a growing
interest in intellectual entertainments,
which should be gratifying to the
Academy committee. The subject last
night, that of physical culture, was
handled in a scholarly and mastery
manner. The professor showed the
defects in the school systems of to-day,
and advocated in plain, unmistakable
words, the introduction of scientific
in Russia, with workshops at
tached, wherein could be taught trades
and arts. The next of the series will be
delivered by Professor Benner, on the
18th instant, on the Yellowstone region,
illustrated by stereopticon views.

Death of an Old Resident.

John Taylor, whose demise occurred
yesterday, about half an hour before
noon, was wen and favorable known IN
Salt Lake City. and particularly in the
Ninth Ward, where he has continuously
resided since 1861. He was taken i'll on
Sunday afternoon last, and was con-
fined to his bed from which he never
more arose alive. Pneumonia in an
aggr ~ated form, was the disease which
took from the cOmpanionship of friends
and the loved ones of home, q respected
citizen.
Deceased was born on the eth of Sep
TENDER, 1923 at Knutsford, Cheshire,
England /; he was baptized into the Nor
mon Church in 1913, and zealOusly OBJ
served the principles taught throughout
his life, being soon after his cOnfirma-
ton as a member appointed to preside
over a numerous branch in his native
country. Later. ne left the mother land
and halted in Iowa City, where he was
again charged with the presidency of a
branch : in 1850, crossing the plains, he
was chosen captain OF company OF
emigrants. He and his family arrived
in this city in September, 1860, and after
residing a short time in the Fourteenth
Ward, moved TO the Ninth, where. as
we have said, he has resided since. For
a number of wears he superintendent
the Sunday school of that ward, which
under his care, was a thriving and pros
porous institution; but of late he took
bbut little interest In anything outside

| himself. He was a conscientious, honest
citizen; kind, indulgent father, and
beloved husband, and his sudden tax

his family and those Intimately &C

Cameron will call up his resolution at
an early day.
Hill submitted the following.
ResoIged, That in the existing de-
pressed condition of the industrial
interests of the country and in the
presence of the great fall which has
taken place and is still in progress in
the wages of labor and the prices of
products of farms, workshops and
mines, the recommendations of the
President and Secretary of the Treasury
that the coinage of silver dollars ard
the issue of silver certificates be pro
hibited are calculated to create alarm
and thereby aggrayate the difficulties of
the situation, and to the end that the
public mind may be quieted by aSslLr-
ance that if the total volume OF cur
renCy is not to be enlarged in cores
p0ndence with the increasing popula-
TiOn and exchanges of the country, it
shall not at least be reduced by sus-
pending the coinage of silver dollars,
the Senate declares its opinion to be
that no valid reason exists at the
present time for imposing any new and
additional restrictions upon either the
coinage of silver dsllars or the issue of
silver certificates.

A Hearing Before Commissioner
j Mckay Yesterday.

Yesterday, Commissioner Mckay was
occupied in inquiring into a case which,
at times, presented some ludicrous
phases. 1t was a hearing for polygamy
and lasciyiouS, cohabitation, in which
Ole L. Hansen, of West Jordan, was the
victim of the charge. The woman who
is alleged. TO be his second wife is Dan
ish. and her little knowledge of the
English language occaSioDed some
amusement, because of the answers
made in broad Jutlsnd dialect to the
interrogations of the Prosecuting At
torney. At one stage of the proceed
ings, when questioned by Mr.. Dickson,
she began an elaborate explanatory ad-
dress in the Danish tongue, necessltat-
ing the importation of an interpreter
from the Diitrict Court, in the person OF
Deputy Marshal Sprague, who Is a
Dane himself" The prosecuting at
torney endeavored to elicit from
her an acknowledgment OF her
marriage with Hansen, but up 20
the time of his giving the task up as a bad
Job did not get the proof he wanted. she
was questioned as to visit she made
to the Endowment House, and what heI
reason for such visit was, but she fatty
denied going there to be married TO the
defendant. There appeared to be q
screw loose somewhere in the obtaining
of evidenceOn the polygamy count. But
/ it was thought that sufficient to hold
Hansen on the laseivious cohabitanon
charge was CHAINED, and he was, there
| fore, held, in'S2, 800 bonds to answer thls
morning, at 10 o'clock. Failing to Obtain
bondsmen he was remanded to custody
