his clients had received the notice
yesterday afternoon, too late to bring
the young ladies into court today, as
they were at Bingham Canyon,
over twenty miles distant. He
asked that the matter be postponed
till 10 a. m. on Monday. The re-
quest was granted.
James J.. Smith. convicted of
libeling J. II. Mid ilemiss, was
called before Judge Anderson for
sentence. He presented a copy Of a
letter written by Middlemiss, show
ing that the latter had libeled him.
Judge Anderson said there was a
legal remedy against that, but it
afforded no justification for a cOun-
ter-slander. IL would not do 10
allow the distribution Of libelous
circulars about a person, no matter
