THE ROOF LEAKED,
standingNCrowtOm d Co.'s
Guaranty That 1t Would Hold
Good for Twenty Years

The case of James Thompson VS.. F.
Crowton & Son ct al. was tried, argued
and submitted yesterday in the Third
District Court. This morning the Court
stated in effect that it seems the defend
ants guaranteed certain patent roof
placed on plaintiffs dwelling house to last
from ten to twenty years, if properly
painted, and it appears that the roof has
leaked ever since it was constructed,
in consequence of which dam
ages were sought On the other
hand, the defendants deny making other
guarantees than given by the company,
but from the testimony it becomes evil
dent, 1 am inclined to think, that the
agreement was not fully kept.
The Court gave judgment in favor of
the plaintiff to the amount of $25 for re-
pairs, $25 for damages, and $25 for dam
ages to the house from rain, as against
Crowton & Son, and against defendant
Pugsley for costs.

COLLIN ADMITTED TO BAIL.
A Synopsis of McMurrin.s ssDying
Declarations = He Admits
Firing at Collin.

A writ of habeas corpus was issued yes
terday for the purpose of admitting
Henry C. Collin to bail. The Prescott
ing Attorney and Mr.. Rawlins agreed
that McMurrin's dying declaration might
be admitted in evidence on motion to adj
init to bail, and Squire Speirs and Mr..
Wells, who took McMurrin's testimony,
were to-day sworn and stated in sub
stance that DR.. Benedict at the time in
formed McMurrin that he couldn't live;
that DIR. Benedict and Speirs asked the
questions and Wells wrote them down at
the time the man was thought to be
dying. McMurrin stated he met Collin in
the dark alley, and in crossing he run
against Collin and struck over him. Col
lin shot, and in the excitement he (Mc-
Murrin) also fired.
Collin was admitted to bail in the sum
of 81 800, on account of being a poor man.

Value of Deem Breathing.

Deep breathing and holding the breath
is an item of Importance. Persons Of
weak vitality find an uninterrupted sue
cession of deep and rapid respirations SO
distressing that they are discouraged
from persevering in the exercise. Let
such persons take into the lungs as much
as they can at breath, and hold. it as
long as they can, they will find grateful
sense of relief in the whole abdominal
region. Practice will increase the ability
to hold the breath and capacity to hold
the lungs. After time, the art may be
learned of packing the lungs. This is
done by taking and holding the long
breath and then forcing more air down
the trachae by swallows of air. The oper-
alton may be described by that of fish's
mouth in water. To those who have
never learned it it will be surprise to
what an extent the lungs may be packed.
Caution at first is needful, but later prac-
tice will warrant large use of the treat
ment. The whole thoracic and abdomi-
nal cavities will receive immediate bene-
tit, and continuance, with temperance in
eating and good air and right exercise.
will bring welcome improvement.-Her-
aid of Health.

LATEST DISPATCHES.
TO Compete With coolies.

CHICAGO, December 16.-The secretary of
the Chicago branch of the International
Union was seen in regard to the taking
of cigar makers to San francisco to compete
with Coolies this morning. He said
about eighty Chicago men had signifed
their wishes to go to San Francisco. Ar
rangements had been made with the New
York Central and Union Pacific roads to
take the men there at the rate OF 500 each,
no matter where they take the train. The
members of the Union are guaranteed from
SO upward for mold work, and $12
upward for hand work. The rates which
prevail here are 81 and So. The necessary
funds to be advanced by the Union to any
member wishing to go and unable to pay his
fare. the money so advanced to be repaid by
installments of 10 per cent. of his earnings
weekly.

here have, from his flabby attempt at iourn-

when even a 'feather-weight," as he
terms us, steps on his corns, serves to
reveal the envious malice that is back of
his weak and watery attack. There is
nothing at all surprising in the attack

Looks Like Libel

On Friday evening last the Deseret
News contained a very malicious fling at
Judge Zane. 1t is hard matter to con-
Wet any one of criminal libel, but it looks
very much as though the parties respon-
slole tor this are liable for prosecution for
That crime. The language referred to
consists OF an extract from an alleged
newspaper called the Idaho Democrat and
the Introductory and approving remarks
of the Nesrs, as follows:
The Idaho Democrat hits pretty near the
truth In the following, as it frequently does
when referring to the situation here: * Salt
Lake Judge has decided the city ordinance
prescribing penalties for promiscuous inter
course unconstitutional. The Judoe
had to decide the way he did, The enforce
ment OF the law would have implicated too
among the number'''

practice would cause great delay. The
law requires the clerk to set the
cases down in regular order, but [
never knew that the Court was
not allowed to change the order of set
ting the calendar, as it is often necessary
for the Court to use discretion in such
matters The only question is as to
whether the defendant has had a reason
able time to prepare for trial. / under
stand the motion here is to set aside this
order, which was made on the statements
of the prosecuting attorney under oath.
1t is not necessary that the order be re-
cited, as counsel has given consent for
the trial to take place another day.
Varian-Your honor can set the case
for trial for next week Tuesday, the 22d
inst, at 10 o'clock, if agreeable.
The case was so continued, to the sat

At the Theatre Last Night.

notwithstanding the severe criticism
in yesterdays papers, Kiralfy's Around
the World" drew out very large attend
ance last evening. The performance was
worse, if anything, than on the previous
night. One of the main characters adj
,yertised, Ell Madhi, did not appear, ashe
had been sent to San Francisco in adj
vance OF the show The purpose of this
dodge is as apparent. as it is dishonest.
1t is surprising that such well-known
managers as the Kiralfy Brothers should
descend to such trickery in their bust
ness. The singing last evening was
and some of the acting very
poor. The Indians were the worst ever
seen on the Salt Lake stage The bright
est features OF the piece are found in the
scenery, the ballet and the Mignani
Troupe.
The farewell performance will be given
tonight, and tomorrow the company
will proceed west.

Whether or not Mr. Hampton is a good
man cannot be settled by outside clamor.
The practice in courts of justice generally
is to try the cases the same term of in
dictment. l don't know a rule of prac-
tice that requires court to continue a
case from one term because the indict-
ment was found the same term. Such
