OGDEN, May 81. = Especial. = Judge
Miner this afternoon sustained the de-
murrer submitted in the Bear river canal
case, granting the plaintiff ten days leave
! to amend, and modifying the restraining
order so as to allow the sale OF the canal
system under the deed OF trust held by
the Jarvis Conklin Mortgage Trust COM
pany.
| Within fifteen minutes after the judge
had sent in the order the sale had been
made by S. M. Jarvis, representing the
bond-holders of the 500, 900 issue, under
which the sale was made. George l..
Walker, an eastern capitalist, was the
purchaser, the purchase price being
I SS7 800. III. NJ. Beardsley, attorney OF
the Jarvis-Conklin people, bid the prop
erty in for Mr.. Walker.
| This sale is made subject to a 81 900, 900
deed of trust, and the liens of Garland q
Corey brothers. These liens amount to
over 500. 1000.
The canal system has cost over 81, 800, :
600, and but one branch of the canal IS
completed, That branch waters some
| 5000 acres of land, andthe land is in
cluded in the sale.
1t was expected that the decision in the
case would be handed down early this
morning, but the court officials were no.
titled that there would be no
court, as the judge was confined
to his bed at the Broom hotel.
The sale was adjourned last night
to O'Clock this morning, and when that
hour arrived another continuance was
taken until o. clock. Two o clock came
around and still nothing had been heard
from the judge and 2:45 was named as
the hour for the sale. Just three minutes
before that hour the judge sent in an
order as stated, and the sale was made.
| Now Judge Maginnis, attorney for
Garland, is asking himself how the gen.
tlemen on the other side were SO sure that
an order in their favor would be made
before O'Clock, and claims to have been
improperly and unfairly treated. He is
also asking himself how the judge could
lie in his bed and look up the authorities
in the case.
Mr.. Garland and his senior counsel will
arrive in Ogden on Wednesday and some
interesting developments are likely to take
place.
Just what effect this sale will have
upon the future development OF the prop
erty embraced in the canal system is I'M
known, as the parties most interested re-
fuse to talk, but it comes very straight
that some important changes will be
made, all of which will benefit the entire
territory.
THE BONDS ALL RIGHT.
The city mas been notified that the
bonds of the recent $4,000 issue are all
right, provided the council will make an
amendment to the sinking fund ordi-
nance, and the matter will receive atten-
ton at the Monday nights meeting of
that body. On Tuesday the money for
the bonds will probably be drawn.
John Keho, the young man arrested
here several days ago on Geographic
warrant from Evanston, was release1 to-
day and allowed to continue his journey
west. He was wanted in Evanston for
the theft OF number of razors, but as he
gave up the stolen property, the persons
from whom they were stolen refused to
prosecute.
MR.. RIEsLING ARRIVES.
Levi Riesling of Joplin, Mo-, the holder
of the S23, 600 chattle mortgage on the
Reed hotel, under the foreclosure OF
which the hotel has been attached by the
United States marshal, arrived in Ogden,
somewhat unexpectedly this morning,
and made the Pacific hotel his head
quarters. There he was seen by HERALD
representative at an early hour and ques-
toned regarding the course which he
would pursue with the hotel and whether
OF not the house would be reopened. He
replied that he had nothing to say at
present and would have nothing for the
press until he had met with his attorney
and the gentlemen who own the hotel
building. AS Judge Macmillan is in
Nevada, it will probably be the middle OF
next week before anything is done in the
matter. Up to late hour tonight Mr..
Riesling had not met the hotel owners
and the newspaper men could get moth
ing further out of him.
