WEDNEsDAY,

County Court
And Fires Bomb-sheIi at Judge Bishop
Court Mattsrs-General
Gleanings-

Some lively scenes were enacted at the
meeting Of the county courtyesterday when
Eon. David Evans appeared and in behalf of
himself and other taxpayers called atten-
ton to the fact that Judge Bishop was
drawing q salary of 81 900 per year st the
present time which was not authorized by
law. He stated that he did not believe
ttss Judge Bishop or aug one else wanted
20 take advantage OF the unjust imposition
upon lbe public, but that 1t had been purely
al oversight.
When he said this Il fell into the bosom
OF the court like g ;hupderbolt.
Mr.. Evans continued and stated that a
test case of this kind was made in June
1890 in Salt Lake. The county clerk re-
fused 10 sign warrant for the salary of
the probate Judge and it was carried up TO
the supreme court and the action OF the
clerk was sustained. The probate Judge IS
entitled TO 81 per day as salary and miisge
according to law, but not $1,000 additional
salary.
judge Bishop does not seem to view 1t in
that light and threatens to resign if the
case is carried UP.
