Civil Jury Cases-New Actions
Commenced-Court Notes

The anticipated fight over the custody
OF little Wallace j. Burt failed to mate
rialize yesterday morning, owing to the
fact that Judge Zane sat down very heav-
lily and earnestly upon it in its incipiency.
Judge Powers, addressing the court, said
that the matter had been set down for
hearing and he was ready to proceed.
''Well,' said the court, 1.-THE custody
of the child has been disposed of once by
decree of this court, and it will have to
remain in Mr.. Groesbeck's custody until
that order is modified
''But, your honor,'' interrupted Mr..
Jones, "that is what we wish to do now,
as 10y
Judge zane-The child must be turned
over Immediately to its proper custo-
dian.''
Judge Powers - We want the child
brought into court and delivered at once
to Mr.. Groesbeck.
Judge Zane-That will be the order. If
motion is made for modification of
the decree it must be made in the proper
manner. This is no time to hear such a
motion. l have already granted the writ,
and the child's mother must obey the de-
cree of the court,
Mr. Jone5-The child is in the building
and If that is the order we will turn it
over.
Judge Zane-W Well, that Is the order.
The parties then left the court room
and long wait was had in the hall.
Finally, Mr.. Groesbeck lost his patience
and told Mrs. Burt's attorney that he
wanted the child at once and If it wash t
delivered to him Immediately he would
take heroic measures IN ret If
The attorney then went up to Mrs.
Burt i room and soon returned with the
mother and child. Mr.. Groesbeck rushed
for the little one, but Mrs. Burt jerked it
away and all entered the court room.
They remained there for a few minutes
when they again left the room and Mrs.
Burt turned the child over to Mr.. Groes-
beck, who took it home.
AS soon as Mrs. Burt's attorneys can
be heard, they viii argue motion for a
modification of the decree, which will
award the custody OF the child to its
mother.
Mrs. Burt, who by the way is not Mrs.
Burt but Mrs. W. d. Snyder, was accom-
panied by her young husband, whom she
married at Evanston, Wyo., on March IS.
Mr.. Snyder is a brother of J. J. SNYDER,
the well known loan and real estate agent
in the Dooly building. He refused to say
anything with reference to his marriage
to Mrs. Burt, when called upon by a
HERALD reporter yesterday afternoon.
He talked, however, as though he would
like TO have the papers say something
which would give him "lead pipe cincho
on them. THE HERALD doesn't do bust
ness that way, and if he expects anything
sensational he will be disappointed. In
fact, there is no material to make a sensa-
ton out Of. If Mrs. Burt wanted to
marry Mr.. Snyder and Mr.. Snyder wanted
to marry Mrs. Burt, it was nobody's
business but theirs.
MARTHA TURNER WINS.
Judge Zane rendered his decision YES
terday morning in the case of Martha
Turner VS.. Wells, Fargo & Co. and two
other banks of the city, wherein the
plaintiff sued for certain monies in the
said banks assigned to ner by Minnie
Barton, deceased, shortly prior to her
death. The amount of money thus as
signed was S., 1857. The decision was
beautifully brief, and his honor said in
substance:
1.-THE court is of the opinion that the
deceased had right to make this assign
ment and that she knew what she was
doing when she made it; further, that it
was not done as a result of undue infiu-
ence. This of course applies to all the
banks, as the others were to stand by the
decision in this case
a thirty days stay was then allowed
upon request of the intervenors.
The latter say that they will appeal to
the supreme court of the territory, and if
Judge Zane's decision is affirmed there
they will take it to the Supreme Court of
the United States.
