only that it is possible for the railroad
enterprise to be put through with the
expenditure of little more money
and the power people to remain
where they are, while it will be abso-
lutely impossible for the power plant
people to complete its enterprise if the
railway people remain where they are.
And the men believed that the law
would so look at it and decide in favor
of the power plant.
Of course this fight is on between
the two corporations and is not for
the citizens of Provo to participate IN,
but if the fight is to result in the sus-
pension of one of the two projects
the overwhelming sentiment of the
people here is that they can better get
along without the power plant than
without the railway through Provo
canyon connecting Provo and Park
City.
The railroad people have ordered
more men and teams put to work on
the grading now being done in the
canyon.
BEFORE JUDGE HATCH.
The trial of the case of S. Leddeard
& Co. VS.. William Twelves occupied
the time of the court last evening I'M
til near midnight. The case was taken
up again this morning and has been
in all day, and the prospects now are
that it will not be concluded before
tomorrow. The defendant was en-
ployed by plaintiff as bookkeeper for
three years and ceased work in 1892
He is accused of having drawn more
money to the amount of 81, 1927 dur
ing his three years than his wages
amounted to. Part Of that was settled;
$500 at the time of discontinuance, and
the impression was given out that the
,.co ,f Il
PENDANT understood he was working
part of the time for SIS per month,
whereas his employers allowed him
$50 per month only. Mr.. Twelves had
charge of the cash and bank accounts
and was allowed to make out all
checks, Mr.. Leddeard signing them in
blank, such implicit confidence had he
in the young man. Now it is charged
that numerous erroneous entries were
made by the bookkeeper in his own
account, such as drawing check for a
certain amount and charging a smaller
amount in his ledger account. The
complaint that he had done this, as
was noted yesterday, was laid before q
grand jury, but that body ignored the
charge. The reason that the case is
occupying so much time is that each
and every entry in the mans entire
/ account for three years is being gone
over and offered in evidence, and many
objections to the introduction of the
same are being made S. A. King is
for the plaintiff and j. w. N. White
cotton for the defendant.
The Payson Exchange bank has
! filed suit in the Fourth district court
against John ]. Banks, ]. W. Moore
and William Ferguson for judgment
for S151 with interest and 5000 attor-
ney's fees, on a promissory note for
! $3.50, made January II, 1895.

Levy Curtis of Springville was in the

quarries recently discovered near the
mill in Spanish Fork canyon. Mr..
Curtis says that blocks of the. stone
sufficiently large for use can be easily
/ taken out OF these quarries, and that
4 tests of the stone recently made by
the Salt Lake Lithographing company
are eminently satisfactory. Notices OF
/ location of the quarries-the German
