F0RD'S TRIAL.
Much Speculation Regarding the
PrOabIe Outcome.

Much Speculation Regarding the
PrOabIe Outcome.
The trial of Police Sergeant Ford
which has been one of the sensations
of the week, is exciting great atten-
ton among the members of the force
as we'll as those who do not wear the
uniform of the department. Every
one is on the qui vive and many are
the premises made. 1t is the judg-
nlent of many that when the case
comes to trial there will be a strenu-
Gus effort to whitewash the affair. on
the part of some of the friends of the
accused, while on the other hand it is
reported that those who insist on
judgment being pronounced after all
the facts in the case have been pre-
scented, are leaving no stone unturned
in an endeavor to get the entire his
tory of the transaction in readiness.
The commission will hear the testi-
mony in the matter tomorrow even
ing and will take the case under con-
sideration. 1t will not take much of
the time of the board, if nothing but
the facts in the last case are pre-
sented, but if the members conclude
to go further and call up old ones
more than one evening may be re-
quired.

Headquarter Democratic Society OF
Utah. Salt Lake City. Utah, June
l. 1885
To the Democratic Societies Of Utah;
The executive committee of the
Democratic Territorial society desires
to call your attention TO the approach
ing elections to be held under the act
of Congress, known as the Enabling
Act, and in doing so congratulates the
people of the territory upon is early
admission into the Union as a
sovereign state, and compliments the
societies upon the active ana inf1uen-
tial part they have taken and the aid
they have rendered the party to when
they are auxiliary in bringing Utah to
the threshold of statehood.
/ These societies have been in exis-
tence nearly four years. At the time
of their organization. the question IF
! the right of all the people of the ter
ritory, regardless of past differences,
/ to be represented ~ The rational con-
vention was being discussed. Since
that time the Dem ocratic national
convention has admitted and recog-
nized the Democratic party Of Utah,
to full, unconditional and absolute
/ representation. and Il Democratic Cen
gress has passed an enabling act pro-
viding for the admission of the terri
tory into the Union as state and the
same has been approved by d Demo-
cratic president In al the work
which has been done The past four
years. the societies have been active
and important factors.
The constitutional convention has
completed its labors and presented to
the people a constitution for their
adoption. True 10 the principles and
pledges of their parry the Democratic
delegates in that convention, by their
vigilance and untiring efforts, secured
the insertion in the constitution of pro-
visions which confer upon women
equal suffrag e with men and the same
political rights and privileges as TO
voting and holding Office under the
new state, and also the recognition in
that instrument of the Democratic doc
tril,e that taxes can only be levied for
public purposes.
In November the question Of the
ratification of the constitution will be
voted upon by the people, and at the
same time all the officers for the new
state, executive, legislative and judi
cial, are to be elected.
1t now becomes the duty of the
Democratic societies in the prosecution
of their work, to prepare the people
for the blessings of statehood. and for
the changed conditions which it will
bring to them. In the election of state
officers, the people will be entering
upon practical statehood. That the
Democratic party may properly pre-
sent to the voters of the territory a
platform of principles and acceptable
candidates for the various offices. it
becomes the duty Of the societies to
put themselves in condition to meet
the new demands imposed upon them,
and to take part in the discussion and
settlement of questions involved in the
coming campaign and election.
The constitution will impose upon
women the duties and responsibilities
Of electors and entitle them to the
rights and privileges Of holding Office.
This class of citizens in the past has
exhibited the greatest interest and zeal
in the work of the societies, and. in

SPENCER BEGINS WORK.
THE NEW COLLECTOR INDICTED
INTO OFFICE.
Week-RoIls to Be Filed Tomor-
row-Something on Valuations

County Collector John D. Spencer was
indicted into his new Office yesterday,
and at once began the preparation of tax
notices, which will be mailed the coming
week. There are 10000 of these to be sent
out, and the work will consume some two
weeks. The postage stamps for this work
will be purchased by the county court at
the meeting Monday; or, at least the
money will be appropriated on that day.
On Monday the assessor will file his roll
with the county clerk as provided by law.
The totals are not figured as yet, and AS
SCISSOR Lynch stated last evening to a re-
porter that they would not be made for
several weeks yet. He has to file the rolls
today as provided By law. bat there re-
mains some proof-reading to be done. 1t
IS the intention of the assessor to have
the rolls as nearly perfect as it is possible
for them to be made. and in order to ar
rive at that degree. he will tomorrow ask
the county court to allow him to have
them proof read.
Mr.. Lynch said that the valuations are
nearly all in; the only remaining ones
being about three personal property valu-
atoms which he was completing yesterday
afternoon.
1t will be the duty of the clerk to foot
up the totals on the rolls. and when this
is completed the valuation of the property
will be known. The board of equalization
will then sit and correct errors, after
which the tax will be collected.
Mr.. Lynch, of course, has an idea as to
what the valuation is at this time, and
says that The Herald's figures published
some time ago will be found to be very
nearly correct.
In this connection the other morning
paper will. this morning, print the esti-
mate published by this paper some weeks
ago as given by the city auditor, in con-
nection with the cost of running the city
government this year.

FIREMEN'S MIDDLE.
Who VIII Be Dismissed, Still the
Burning Question

Burning Question
The question as to what shall be
done with the firemen who are Non
duty, in excess of the number which
the city council desires. is still agitat-
ing the members of the council. the
city attorney and the members of the
board of fire and police commissioners.
A conference was held yesterday
between the city attorney and Commits
sioner Stephens at which measures
were taken which will be crystalized in
a report by the former TO the next
probability be in the form of an ordi-
will be permitted to work and direct-
force by laying off four of the men.
Who these four will be is a matter
which cannot be announced at this
time, but it is thought that in view of
the recent decision of the court, that
those who were last appointed will
have to go. This is in line with
statement of one member of the COM
mission who has said that in his opin-
ion the decision of Judge Merritt is to
the effect that Gilbert, Mowers, Clark
and McMullin were Illegally laid off.
or discharged. In that event the men
who were selected to fill their places
were illegally appointed.
If this view of the situation is the
correct one, and it seems a plausible
way of putting it, to say the least, it
will be easy to determine who will
have to go.

252 carriages passed over Penrose
Drive and Fort Douglas avenue on
Decoration Day. How speedily have
the destinies of popperton place been
changed! For every vehicle that has
been driven through it in the past
thousands will be driven through it in
the future. The rich will see its
charms and build their homes there
above the city's dust and smoke and in
the full view of the great panorama.
In few years the gentle slopes will
be bedecked with palaces. Frontage on
Fort Douglas avenue is now on the
market-that is some of it is on the
market-some of it is not on the mar

are of any disadvantage to the street,
but as there are none there it might
as well be stated. There are some
houses, however, and there will be
some more on that great street, be-

wont remain unoccupied long unless
the love of home is to lose its place in
the human heart. Within three years

view of the fact that they are soon to
be charged with the responsibilities of
government, it is eminently proper
full and equal membership in our
Democratic societies. 1t is therefore
the sense of this committee that each
and every society in the territory
should make an imm ediate active can
vass, and invite the women to join
and become members of the societies;
and, by perfecting the organization.
accord them full and equal representa-
ton in the offices. committees and
membership of the societies. so that
they may take an interest and active
part in carrying on its practical opera
tons.
1t is the intention of this committee,
at an early date, to call a convention
of delegates from all the societies
throughout the territory, and the work
of organization should be begun at
once, pushed as rapidly as possible.
and completed before the convention
is held, SO that women as well as
men may be eligible TO act as delegates
and be admitted as such to the con-
vention.
In all the work of political progress
in the territory, during the last four
years, the Democratic party has been
the pioneer, and it must continue to
lead. Let it be the first to welcome
and practically recognize the privi-
leges which will be conferred upon Us
by statehood, including equal suffrage
and the right to hold Office provided
for in the constitution.
By order of the executive committee.

up on charge of petit larceny. He
was arrested some days ago and at the
time pleaded not guilty. Becoming ap-

was strong, Richards concluded that
he would get light sentence by
changing his plea and accordingly did
so. To his infinite regret the court
read him a lecture and sentenced him
to seventy-five days in Jail.
