Just why a Republican legislature,
pledged to reform, should attempt to
harrass the State Auditor and his as
sistants, in their efforts to defeat the
Doodle pine land ring is.a question
that probably only the Legislators and
the ringsters themselves can solve.
State Auditor Dunn is doing every
thing in his power to bring the plum
derers of the State to task and has
already. unearthed frauds to the ex-
tent of ST., 600 in the Office and he
has only commenced to probe the
rottenness. The.Staples bill, it seems,
was framed for the express purpose OF
handicapping the department and the
senate should turn it to the wall
completely and give the Auditor the
full swing he desires.

johnny Larsen Goes to the Reform
School.

John Larsen, the 16-year-old boy sent
from Police Justice Smiths court with
a view to his being committed to the
Reform school, came up before Judge
Bartch. Clerk Of the Police Court
James testified that Larsen was con-
victed a week ago of petit larceny, and
that he had been before the police JUS
tice half dozen times previously on
various charges and was quite incor-
rigible.
Mr. Larsen, the lads father, told the
court of his sons bad ways and how
he persisted in associating with evil
companions. His mother died fifteen
years ago and witness could do moth
ing with him and was anxious that he
be sent to the Reform school.
The youthful defendant. in reply to
Attorney Harrington said:
I'm guilty; all that's been said of
me is true"
DO you want to go to the Reform
SCHOOL," asked Attorney Harrington.
Yes, sir, that is my best place; but
I would like one more chance"
Judge Bartch made an order com
hitting the lad to the Reform school
at ogden. and he was taken thither in
the afternoon.

to increase the number or to now re-
store Gilbert to his former position. To
do so would, they say, be a violation
Of the ordinance. Hence defendants
asked that the court quash the alter
native writ of mandate now applied
Tor and dismiss the same with reason
able costs.
The arguments occupied a consider
able time. In the course of his remarks
Judge Powers insisted that the fire
department had no right to trif1e with
the decision of the supreme court and
declared that the city had already
enough law suits on its hands without
any that were wholly unnecessary and
uncalled for.
Judge Hoge pointed out that the
charges upon which the fire and ponce
commissioners had now sought to try
! Gilbert were altogether apart from
those embodied in the record OF the
court, but the writ of mandate came IN
and stopped the investigation.
In giving his decision Judge Merritt
said that this question had been UP
before him several times. A law was
enacted by the last legislature creating
q board of fire and police commission
ers. with the view of making the city
fire department more efficient, ana II
was not for him to comment upon or
criticise the policy of that body; ne
had simply to administer the law as ne
found it. When the matter was before
him on a former occasion he studied
it very carefully while taking it under
Amusement. The case afterwards
went to the supreme court of the ter
ritory and the other three Judges
unanimously sustained this fullhg.
Now the board of fire and police com
missioners came into court and sald'

His honor added that he was bound
by the recent decision of the supreme
court in this case and must follow It's
ruling. Therefore he should now grant
the writ of mandamus. 'Now," he
continued, ''let us see who is superior
in this district-the courts of the terri
tory or some local board"
Judge Powers said he supposed costs
would follow as against the defendants,
and the court answered in the affirma-
tive, accompanied by the significant
words. Now don't let there be any
tomfoolery about this matter"
Attorney Frank B. Stephens, a men,
Der of the fire and police commission,
who with Chairman Frank w. Jen-
nings) was present during the. proceed
ingS, arose to explain that the board
had not meant to treat the Supreme
court with any disrespect whatever or
to show disregard for its ruling. But
there were charges pending against
Gilbert and others of the fremen which
formed 10 part of the medical eXamina-
ton.

Chief Justice Merritt yesterday sat
down pretty hard on the board of
police and fire commissioners and on
Chief Devine. of the fire department,
in the matter of the application of
William Gilbert for a writ of mandate
to compel the board to reinstate the
petitioner to his former position in the
fire department. His honor granted
the writ of mandate in short order,
and from remarks made from the
bench it was apparent that he con-
sidered that the board was trifing
with the court and he gave them to
understand that the supreme court
was greater than the board and that
it would be wise in future not to
monkey with the buzz saw"
Gilbert, in his petition, set out that
he was wrongfully suspended from the
fire department on June 20, 1894; that
the Third district court had so ruled
and the supreme court affirmed the
ruling of the district court; notwith-
standing which, when he applied for
reinstatement. it had been denied him.
IN their answer filed yesterday the
defendants set up a general denial and
allege that Gilbert was suspended,
without pay. on charges of general
disqualification made against him by
Chief Devine, and that the same are
still pending and undisposed Of. The
board set the case for hearing on May
20, say the defendants. but on the day
previous they were served with and
stopped by the writ of mandate,
whereupon the case was adjourned till
May q. For further answer the board
alleges that prior to September %, 1894,
the fire department had in its employ
thirty men, and that on the date named
the city council, by ordinance, fixed
the number at not TO exceed twenty
five men; that the departments force
is now full and there is no vacancy
whatever; that the board has no power

Prohibition
Hiskey's Writ of Pro
- Granted.

Granted.
Judge Bartch heard the application
of William Hiskey for writ Of pro-
hibition restraining Justice Harvey
from committing the petitioner for
contempt of court. Hiskey was
brought up before Justice Harvey on
supplementary proceedings on Judg-
ment against him and he was ordered
watch and the half of a sum of $54
coming 10 him from the Union Pacific
Railway Company which latter was
payable the day following that on
which the order was made. Hiskey did
not obey the order of the court in re-
gard to the amount coming to him
from the railway company and he was
cited to show cause why he should
not be punished for contempt.
His attorneys, Judge Howat and
George L. Nye, applied for the
writ of prohibition on the ground that
the justice had no power to make any
order regarding the disposition of
money not under the control of the
petitioner.
Attorney D. n. Straup argued a de-
murrer to the writ of prohibition,
which was overruled, and the hearing
proceeded. Hiskey was examined in
support of the petition, and Justice
Harvey against it, and after the argu-
ments his honor sustained the writ.
Justice Harvey will appeal from this
decision mainly on the ground that
supposing the petitioner is right in the
ground he takes his proper remedy was
by an appeal from the order 10 apply
the money on the judgment and not
by a writ of prohibition.
