Judgment Against the Salt Lake
and Fort Douglas Railway.
AN OLD CASE CONCLUDED
IN WHICH MARTHA ANN C0OMBS
WAS THE PLAINTIFF.
Decree of Divorce Set Aside In the
Case OF Charles w. Milner Against
Maud L. SIiIner-District Court
Rulings, Probate Orders and Mis-
ceIlaneous Court Notes.

The old case of Martha Ann Coombs
against the Salt Lake & Fort Douglas
Railway company ct al, which has
been in the courts for four years. was
finally disposed of yesterday by de-
cree entered by Judge Ritchie.
Mrs. Coombs was and is the owner Of
the north half of block /, plat G., Salt
Lake CITY, on U street, adjoining the
reservation. The defendant company
made 4 deep cut on the north side of
the block, greatly damaging plaintiff S
property.
Early in 1892 Mrs Coombs br.Yght
suit for an injunction, to be made alb
solute unless the defendant paid dam
ages to be assessed by court Of equity
within a given time After a trial
lasting several days, Judge Bartch gave
judgment tor 49, 400 damages but re-
fused the injunction. The defendant
being insolvent, the judgment was
valueless. The plaintiff appealed to
the supreme court and the lower court
was reversed and the case remanded,
the supreme court holding that the
plaintiff was entitled to an injunction,
but in demanding the case that tri-
bunal did not say whether it was for
a new trial or final judgment
The plaintiff then moved the lower
court for final judgment and injunc-
ton. the case coming before Judge
Zane, who wrote the opinion of the
supreme court. Judge Zane intirated
that the supreme court intended the
plaintiff to go through another trial on
the question of damages.
Mrs. Coombs' counsel then withdrew
his motion, but later renewed it before
Judge Merritt. who overruled it The
plaintiff appealed to the supreme court
from that ruling and the supreme
court, by Judge King, reversed the
lower court and ordered a final judg-
ment and injunction TO be entered.
The lower court then granted the in
junction unless the defendant paid the
damages within 80 days, which il failed
to do, and the injunction was made
absolute. Yesterday this last order
was made requiring the receivers to
take up the tracks running past the
plaintiffs property within 80 days
This will enable the city to grade
the street and fill up the deep and
dangerous cuts which spoil L street at
that point

he saw a fire alarm, smashed the glass
and summoned the nearest brigade. Three
engines, an escape, and 16 men were at
once dispatched to the scene of the con-
migration, which existed only in Mr.
PowelfS heated Imagination. Only the
other day 10 engines were brought from
ali parts of the metropolis to a supposed
nre at the Gaiety theatre. of which a
false alarm was given; and during the
year between 400 and 500 bogus sum
nonses are given. In this case Powell
was followed by young man named
Reading, who saw him commit the ac-
ton. and as soon as he found a con-
stable gave the practical joker into
custody. Mr.. Curtis Bennett. the Maryle-
bone magistrate, determined to make an
example of a useless member of So
cisty, who can find no better employ
ment than committing an action OF which
even degenerate donkey would feel
ashamed. He therefore fined him $50,
with 50 costs, or in default ordered him
to go to gaol for two months. Powell
went to prison. Picking oakum is the
proper work 1or a man whose arms 50
itch for work that they cannot refrain
from giving false fire alarms.
