that has to swing on the gallows tree for
Braelandsi" and as she stood before him
motionless as a white stone with passion,
he turned into another road and left her
there. For he was impatient OF delay,
and with steps hurried and stumbling,
he followed the husband whom he had
driven to his duty.
When he reached Christmas home II
was easy to feel in 1t the majesty Of
Deaths presence. All mere mortal needs
had been forgotten; there was no table
laid, no thought Of meat, for Life stood
still to watch the great mystery transpir-
ing. The door to Sophy's death-room
stood open, for the day was hot and wind
less, and the household were gathered
there. He went softly in. Braeland
was on his knees by the dying woman.
Her head was folded TO his breast and he
was whispering in the fast closing ears
the despairing words of love suddenly
re-awakened. On the edge OF the grave,
what did they care had the whole world
been preesnt. He won her last loving
words, her last smile and her sweet blue
eyes set in death with their gaze fixed on
him. But Andrew stood humbly at the
foot of her bed, following her soul with
fervent prayer. with love that spurned
the grave, and which was pure enough to
venture into His presence with her.
When the sun set Sopby's little life OF
20 years was over. Braelands rode furi-
ously away without a word, and Andrew
threw himself on the turf, with his face
downward, and "communed with his
own heart and was STILL. 4" At this su-
preme hour all that was human fitted

age the men grew close TO each other, and
Andrew told jamie that he was TO be cap

offered him berth in his ship. And
thus all things were settled and stalked
over before they landed, and ere they
reached Pittencrsigie the men were al

The marriage was not delayed. Andrew
gave Christina a silk gown and hundred
gold sovereigns, and Janet gave her
daughter piece of land close to her own
cottage, on which jamie Immediately be-

Rival Administrators.

R. D. Jones and r. H. Jones, appel
eants, VS.. B. H. Jones; judgment of the
lower court affirmed; opinion by Judge
Bartch, concurred in by Judges Merritt
and King.
The case was a double-barrelIed one.
The first section taken up was that Of
r. D. Jones and r. H. Jones, appel
lants, VS.. B. H. Jones, respondent; ap-
peal from the Fourth district court,
Judge Smith presiding. The probate
court of Box Elder county, on January
26, 1895, made an order appointing r.
D. Jones and r. H. Jones special adj
ministrators Of the estate of l.. H.
Jones, deceased (pending an appeal
contest on the right of general letters.)
From this grant of special administra-
ton B. H Jones twice attempted as
general administrator of the estate to
take an appeal to the district court,
This action removed the record Of
special administration to the district
court and the special administrators
moved to dismiss the appeal on var
ious grounds. At the same time B. H.
Jones, still assuming the representa-
tive capacity of general administrator,
made counter motion in the district
court to dismiss the proceedings.
The court granted the counter mo-
ton and denied the first motion, and
from this Judgment the present appeal
was taken
Growing out of this was the second
section of the case entitled Ricy H.
Jones, appellant, VS.. the New York Life
Insurance company; appeal from the
Fourth district court, Judge Smith
presiding.
The plaintiff sued the New York Life
Insurance company to collect $1,000
upon an insurance policy upon the life
of Lewis H Jones. The defendant an
sWered that B. II. Jones and R. D.
Jones each claimed the said insurance
money as administrator of the estate
of Lewis Fl. Jones, deceased; that it
was ignorant of the respective rights
of the claimants, and that it was not
in collision with either. 1t asked to
be permitted to pay the money into
court and be discharged. The order
was made and the money paid into
court.
The plaintiff claimed that the policy
had been assigned to him, and that
1t formed no part of the estate of the
deceased.
The court below ordered that plain
tiff's motion for Judgment on the
pleadings be denied and further or
dered that B. H. Jones and r. D. Jones
be substituted as defendants instead
of the defendant insurance company
upon the latter paying the $1,55O into
court. From this ruling the appeal was
taken

delivered the opinion and Associate
Justice Bartch concurred.
The plaintiff, on October /, 1893, was
8 years of age, and on that date at
tempted to cross the track of the de-
PENDANT railway company at a crossing
three-fourths of a mile from American
Fork station, when, by reason Of a
plank having been placed on the track
close to the north rail, making a trap
between the rail and the plank, her
foot was caught and so held that she
was unable to extricate it and while
she was so held a passenger train, COM
ing from American Fork at great
speed, ran over the child, crushing and
mangling her right leg and sever1ng it
from her body. Negligence on the part
of the railway company was alleged
and a suit brought to recover s25, 900
damages.
On July 10. 1894, the case was tried
in the First district court, and the jury
returned a verdict for the plaintiff, as
sessing her damages at $10500.
Appeal was taken on the ground that
the damages were excessive and given
under the influence of passion and pre-
JUDGE, insuficiency of evidence and
errors in law occurring at the trial.

First National Bank of Haley, Ida
no, appellant, VS.. H. D. Lewis and
John S. Lewis; appeal from Judge
judgment of the lower court was re-
versed and the motion for a new trial
overruled. Judge King delivered the
opinion, which was concurred in by
Judges Merritt and Bartch.
On June 1, 1888, W. S. Mccormick &
Co., as the First National Bank Of
Haley, brought suit against j. S.
Lewis and others in the Idaho courts
to recover $2,7S1.40 and interest, and
obtained judgment. Before the judg-
ment was rendered J. S. Lewis died
intestate and the defendants, John S.
Lewis and Hiram Lewis became his
executors and legatees. At the time
Of the death of j. S. Lewis he was
resident of Ogden and under order OF
the probate court of Weber county,
the executors acted. The judgment
was presented as a legal claim against
the estate of j. S. Lewis, but the ex-
ecutors refused to allow it, wherefore
the plaintiffs prayed for judgment in
the Utah courts for the amount of
their claim
The defendant set up that no judg-
ment had been rendered against them
in Idaho as executors of the deceased
J. S. Lewis.
Judgment was rendered in the Fourth
district court at Ogden for the plain
tiff for the sum claimed and interest
amounting to $4.15239.
A motion for q new trial was grant
ed and from this order the appeal was
taken.

DThirkieId Wins,

Frank L. Thirkield VS.. the Mountain
View Cemetery association, appellant,
from the Fourth district court; judg-
ment of the lower court was affirmed
Judge Bartch delivered the opinion
Judges Merritt and King concurring.
The case, briefly stated, is that on
November 26, 1892, the plaintiff was
the owner in possession of a lot in the
Mountain View cemetery, at Ogden,
used by him as burial place for his
family, and at the time contained the
remains of his child, Louis Alfred
Thirkield. The defendant removed the
remains of the child from the grave
and inferred it in another spot in close
proximity to the original grave, and in
TERED the body of another person in
the child's grave.
1t was alleged by plaintiff that by
reason of the aforesaid action he was
greatly distressed in mind and body,
and he demanded SIS, the value of the
child's casket and grave clothes, and
$4,000 damages.
The defendants, answering, stated
that the lot in question was sold to
James N. Kimball, of Ogden, in the
year 1887, and by mistake afterwards
they sold the same lot to the plaintiff.
On Nov. 70 MIS-, hlnpa4l, mother, OF u
n. Kimball, died and the defendant as
ISOLATION prepared a grave in the lot
in question and while doing so re-
moved the body Of the child with the
utmost care and reinforced it about
sixteen feet from its original resting
place.
The jury in the lower court found a
verdict for the plaintiff, assessing his
damages at $1,150, from which the
present appeal was taken on the
ground of errors in the charge to the
jury, and that the verdict was the re-
suit of such cause, aided by passion
and prejudice on the part of the jury.

Against the southern Pacific.

James Chapman VS.. the Southern
Pacific Railway Company, appellant,
from the Fourth district court. The
opinion affirming the judgment of the
lower court was handed down by
Judge King and concurred in by
Judges Merritt and Bartch.
This was a suit for damages against
the defendant company brought in the
Fourth district for personal injuries
received while in the employ of said
company. The amount of damages
asked was $4,000, but when the case
was tried judgment was rendered for
$500 and costs of suit. An appeal
was taken on the ground that the evil
dence failed to justify the verdict;
that the verdict is against law; that
the damages are excessive. and that
errors occurred at the trial and ex-
cepted to by defendant. The case was
argued and submitted. It appears that
Chapman was employed in and about
a saw mill owned by the defendant
company in Box Elder county, and
while performing his duty was thrown
on to the saw and his hand badly
cut. by reason of the platform on
which he stood giving way.

Under the most excellent system of
treatment and care for the sick, origin
ated and organized by Doctor G.. w
Shores, upon the golden rule principle of
humanity towards the afflicted, any suf-
ferer. no matter how high, or low, how
distressed or hopeless, may apply any
time, either in person or by letter at
lions Medical Institute and receive
from the hands of the most successful
specialist of the age, the best care and
treatment known to the modern world
at a uniform nominal cost, and is within
the means and reach of everyone
This generous provision is not limited
to any particular class of sickness. 1t
is not restricted to patients suffering
from any particular disease It applies
to all chronic infirmities. Whether the
patient suffers from chronic kidney or
liver trouble or from rheumatism, skin
disease, asthma, bronchitis, lung disease
or nervous disorders. the same assurance
of radical and lasting benefits is offered
to all sufferers alike.
Doctor G. W. Shores famous policy of
nominally low fee rate to all suffer
ers alike, is the most generous measure
Of humanity for strictly expert medical
services ever introduced in the legitimate
speciality practice of the civilized world.
1t is considerably under one-fourth the
customary charges for professional SER
vices in chronic maladies.
In other words, Doctor 6. W. Shores
has simply provided a system by which
the greatest possible benefits of modern
and enlightened medicines are placed
within the reach of the rich and the
poor exactly alike, on absolutely the
same footing. because under the law of
that system, those of the hunblest
means are provided with care, medicine
and treatment, equal to the best com
manded by sick millionaires.
It is and has been matter of obser-
walton that the people Of this great
country entertain and manifest a very
warm feeling towards Doctor G. w.
Shores. 1t is expressed on all hands. It
is heard everywhere, as the sentiment of
a great community and considering the
tens of thousandS in our midst, to whom
Doctor G. w. Shores perfect system of
trea tment and famous vegetable medi-
cines that cure without poison, have
proven of so great a benef1cence; so I'M
speakable a personal blessing. is it re-
markable that it should be so? Would it
not be remarkable if it were otherwise.

Philip T. Cook VS.. the Bullion-Beck
and Champion Mining company, ap-
pellant. The lower court was reversed
and new trial ordered. Opinion by
Chief Justice Merritt, concurred in by
Judges Bartch and King.
The plaintiff recovered a judgment in
the First district court for $4,000 dam
ages for personal injuries sustained
while in the employ of the defendant
company. Cooke was working in the
Eureka-Hill mine and fell through a
board walk across the Daisy Slope,
falling Sc feet, breaking one of his
legs and otherwise bruising and hurt
ing himself.
The defendants appealed on the
ground that the accident was not
caused by any negligence of theirs,
and If it was, the plaintiff had been
guilty of contributory negligence.
