THE way the Indians tell it is as fol

He had created. wherever He touched the
green land j tree would grow up. He was
pleased at this and smiled. and then the
trees were clothet with verdure All sum-
mer the trees grew, but the first cold Of
autumn caused the leaves to turn to goid
and red, and then to die. AS they fell
from the trees their Creator felt that they
were too fair TO cease entirely to exist
So by His grace He renewed their lives
Each leaf then became winge | bird. which
Immediately SCARED aloft and sang OF JOY
and sunshine.
1.-THE robin came from the red-stained
oak leaf; the cardinal bird from the maple,
and the faded yellow of the willow was
r!etamorphozed into the yeliow-bird. The
aomely brown leaves became swallows and
iarks, who were given sweet voices to COM
pensate them for lack OF gaudy pIumage
which decked the other birds.
THE birds, mindful of their origin, al
ways haunt the trees, and thus the fact
that birds and trees are found in the same
localities is gracefully and beautifully ex-

ASSIGNMENT SET ASIDE.
Utah Book and stationery Company
to Ed. w. Duncan.

to Ed. w. Duncan.
Judge Young yesterday delivered his
Judgment in the suit of the Higgins
Tooker company VS.. the Utah Book and
Stationery company which was argued
about three weeks ago and submitted.
His honor ordered that the assignment
be set aside, that the assignee receive
no compensation and that the sale to
Barrow be set aside. Thirty days was
allowed for defendants to elect course
of further proceedings.
The case which has been in litigation
for long time is quite an important
one. The main facts are that on Sep
TENDER 5, 1894, Higgins & Tooker COM
pany, and others, commenced suit
against the Utah Book and Stationery
company to recover So, 404.46 for which
judgments were entered by confession,
but said judgments have never been
satisfied. On July 5, 1894, prior ito the
recovering of the judgments, the de-
PENDANT, the Utah Book and Stationery
company, assigned to e. w. Duncan
all it's property, alleged to be worth
about $4,000, for the benefit of its
creditors while the liabilities of the
company amounted to about $4,000.
1t was then alleged that the assignee
sold not to exceed 50, 500 of the stock
and then secretly made an agreement
with one ]. L. Barrow by which Bar

Matt I. Osborn and the Geyser Min
ing company yesterday filed separate
| answers to the -suit brought against
them by Daniel S. Mosby, by his guar
dian, S. W. Mosby.
The defendant Osborn admits that
Daniel S. Mosby is insane and con-
hned in the insane asylum at Las We
| gas, N. NJ, now, but denies that he
mas been continually insane for more
than ten years last past; also denies
that he now is or ever was the owner
OF half or any portion of the Geyser
mining claim.
The other material allegations of the
complaint are then denied and it is
alleged that the conveyance to Mosby
CT half interest in the mine was to
secure loan of $4,000 made by Mosby
10 Osborn; that in the summer of
1852, while Mosby was of sound mind.
he and Osborn had an accounting
and settlement, and it was then agreed
that Mosby's interest in the mine
would be the sum of $1,000, and that
he should hold half interest in the
hlne as security for the same, and
not otherwise. The defendant admits
that Mrs. Dressler applied for letters
OF guardianship over Daniel S. Mosby,
but denies that ne exercised any un-
due influence over her and AYERS that
the statements made by her in regard
to Mosby's interest in the mine were
true, and that the suit brought by her
against Osborn to recover the $4,000
and the judgment therein granting
Mrs. Dressler, on behalf OF Mosby, the
$4,000 and awarding Osborn clear
title to the property, was in good faith,
straight and honest. The defendant
further says he conveyed on April 10,
1898, to the Geyser Mining company ali
his title and interest in the Geyser
mining claim and that the company is
now the owner of the same
AS explanation of the reason why
the defendant paid Mrs. Dressler Mos
by's guardian, only $50 in cash in salts
faction of the Judgment for $4,000 and
interest, and in return for which he
received a deed for the half of the
mine standing in Mosby's name, the
defendant alleged that on April 49,
1898, he was served with a.,writ of at
tachment for $2,665.20 on a judgment
against Mosby and Mrs. Dressler, and
that the $4,000 and interest amounted
to $55 more than the amount at
tached.
The Geyser Mining company's an
sSver denies, on information and belief,
the material allegations of the COM
plant. and alleges like Osborn that

ientiy preferred, and will leave prac-
ticaliy nothing for the other creditors.

Duncan pc removed as assignee; that
a receiver be appointed; that the sale
OF stock to ]. L. Barrow be set aside;
that the preference in favor of the
National Bank of the Republic be set
aside, and that the entire assignment
be set aside.
In a cross-complaint the Utah Book
and Stationery company asked that
Duncan be removed, and that the sale
to Barrow be set aside while the other
defendants deny the material anega-
tons of the complaint
