a GAY GAMBLER.
If He Had Won He Would Have Re-
turned the Money.

The suit OF Margaret Thompson
against Harry Hynds and Thomas Nc
Dermott occupied Judge Street and a
jury all of yesterday and was not con-
Guided when court adjourned.
Attorney John NJ. Zane appeared for
the plaintiff and Messrs. Powers,
Straup & Lippman for the defendants
The plaintiff alleged that she gave
her husband, Thomas Thompson, $1,000
with which to buy mining stock for
her, but instead of using the money
for that purpose he gambled it away
in the gambling house kept by the
defendants and she sought to recover
the amount from them.
The testimony for the plaintiff went
to show that she had mOrtgaged her
real estate to raise the money to buy
Mercur and Ontario stock, but that the
cash had gone in the way stated.
The line of defense was that Thomp-
son generally won when he "bucked the
tiger" and that instead of losing in
this instance he was q winner. and
also that he was in the habit of plav-
ing at other gambling houses in the
city and may have lost his money
there. but that he didn't lose it in
Hynd's place.
The husband. who is a little fellow,
occupies . seat next his wife in the
court. He was examined Yesterday
and testified that he lost the money in
Hynd's place, and declared that if he
had been a winner he would have
given the money back to the bank,
whereupon everybody in the court room
smiled

E. r. Eldredge, on behalf of himseit
and 1O4 other stockholders of the Des-
eret Savings bank. have, by their at
torneys. Messrs. Moyle, Zane ana COS
tiean entered suit in the Third dis
+rict court against John d. Spencer
as collector of Salt Lake county, and
the Deseret Savings bank, for the pur-
nose of obtaining an injunction re
straining Mr.. Spencer from collecting
certain taxes and restraining the ul-
rectors of the bank from paying the
same.
The plaintiff alleges that he is
stakeholder in the Deseret SAVINGS
hank and that all the caDital Stock
undivided profits, surplus and reserve
fund of the bank is invested IN real
estate, which has been assessed LOT tlde
purposes of taxation for the year 1850
at S125. $50, Id the amount OF the taA,
aggregating 81, 1894. has been paid ana
of the real estate so taxed $S|o'' Is
situated in Salt Lake county.
The complaint then goes on to state
that Notwithstanding that state or
facts Mr.. Spencer has assessed the
stockholders of the Deseret Savings
hank for the year 1896 at $4S.S5O on the
capital stock of the institution and de-
mands payment of S1,25O.56, the amount
of the tax so levied.
The bank presented these facts TO
the county commissioners sitting as
a board of equalization and demanded
that the tax on the S4S,S $50 be stricken
out. None Of the stockholders were
notified to appear before the board OF
equalization and had no opportunity OF
doing so and protesting.
1t is then alleged that the tax on the
capital stock is illegally levied, the
bank having already paid taxes on the
real estate purchased with the money
represented by the capital stock, that
the plaintiff and other stockholders de
manded Of the bank corporation that
it do not pay the tax on the stock
and plaintiff therefore prays for an
Injunction against Collector Spencer,
restraining him from collecting said
tax and for an injunction against the
bank restraining it from paying the
tax.
A temporary restraining order was
issued pending the hearing of the suit
This suit explains why the tax on
the capital stock of the bank was ad-
vertised in the delinquent tax list
against the stockholders, the legality
of the levy being in dispute.
