BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.
Divorce Suit of John Taylor VS..
Margaret Taylor Heard.

The divorce suit of John Taylor
against Margaret Taylor was tried yes
terday before Judge Hiles with closed
doors. Messrs. c. S. Kinney and Alex
McMaster represented the plaintiff and
Messrs. E. D. R. Thompson and Law
renee appearing for Mrs. Taylor. In
the complaint it was alleged that the
marriage took place in this city on
Nov. Is, 1898, and that eight and one
half months afterwards Mrs. Taylor
deserted her husband without cause,
and refused to live with him.
Mrs Taylor filed an answer and
cross complaint, denying that she had
left her husband without cause, and
alleging that he treated her so cruelty
that she was obliged to leave him and
return to her home. She says he failed
to provide her with the common neces-
saries of life, although he was amply
able to do so. She further alleged that
he was of a taciturn disposition, and
demeaned himself SO coldly and indif-
ferently towards her that she could not
live with him. and further, she alleged
that he suffered from a loathsome dis
ease. On those grounds she prayed for
a divorce and alimony The testimony
was of nature altogether unfit for
publication. After the hearing his
honor took it under advisement.

tered into a contract with Mrs. Ed
monds, whereby the latter agreed to do
the assessment work to the amount of
800 for each claim, for one-third in

Mrs. Cole contends that man named
Charles T. Blandin, formerly a lawyer
in this city, who was disbarred. and
Mrs. Edmonds, through fraudulent rep
reservations, induced her to sign an
other and different contract to the one
first agreed upon, and to execute deed
to the property, when. as a. matter of
fact, Mrs. Cole believed she was mere
ly signing an escrow for a deed. She
now seeks to have this deed set aside.
Mrs. Cole is represented by Powers,
Straup & Lippman, and the defendants
by Burris & Breeze.
Mrs. Cole is also plaintiff in another

Appeal Dismissed.

The suit Of Frank H. Nelden
against Smith Powker was put ontrial
yesterday afternoon before Judge
Cherry without a jury, Attorney C. Ira
Krebs representing the plaintiff, and
Attorney James H. Moyle for the de-
PENDANT.
The action was to recover S275 for
damages, the plaintiff alleging that he
rented a cottage furnished to the de-
PENDANT, on the understanding that
same was to be surrendered to the
plaintiff at the end Of the lease in as
good condition as it was when defend
ant entered upon it.
1t was alleged that this was not done,
and that both house and furniture,
when given up, were $275 worse than
when entered upon. Judgment was
rendered in a Justices court for the
plaintiff for the amount claimed. from
which the defendant appealed to the
district court.
1t appeared that the judgment ap-
pealed from had been rendered by a
justice of the peace sitting out of the
precinct in which the cause of action
arose, and his judgment was, there
fore, void, and on that ground the ap-
peal was dismissed.

DRAWING JURORS.
Snag in the New System as Pre-
scribed by the Code.


A nice point of law has arisen in ref
erence to the drawing of jurors for
service in the district courts Since
statehood the jury list for u months
has been drawn at the beginning of
each year from the names on the tax
list by the county assessor and the
county clerk, and from the names thus
drawn the panel of jurors for each term
of court has been drawn in open court
by the sheriff or some of his deputies
and the clerk Of the court or some of
his deputies.
The code, as prepared by the code
commission, changes the system, and
provides that the district judges on or
before the first of December of each
year shall appoint a commission to
draw the jurors for the ensuing year,
and this commission is to do the draw
ing by Dec. Is.
That is all very well and very plain,
but the code does not go into effect
until Jan. 1, 1898, and the question
arises as to how the jurors for the year
1898 are to be obtained, whether by the
old system or by the new method as
prescribed by the code.
1t is contended that if the old plan
is adopted the jurors so drawn will be
ineligible under the provisions of the
code. But how is the new system to be
put in operation i'll December, when
the law requiring it does not become
effective until Jan. 1 of the following

Judge Hiles yesterday rendered his
decision in the case of Durham, Han
ma, Munger e. Co. against w. S. McCor-
nick and the Salt Lake Equitable Co
Cd Institution, finding the Issues for the
defendants. Nt
The suit was brought to set aside an
assignment and sale of certain policies
of insurance, amounting to $1,000.
made on Jan. %, 1897, by the Equitable
Coop to w. S. Mccormick, to pay an
Indebtedness due him by the Coop.
The evidence shows that on the poll
cies Mccormick collected $8,341.62, that
on Jan. %, the defendant company was
indebted to Mccormick In the sum OF
S6.24311 on an overdraft and also
balance on a note of the defendant
company for S3,S3S.72, and also a note
of the defendant company for So34.S2. A
corporation known as the Langton In
vestment company was before this time
indebted to Mccormick in the sum OF
about $2,845 and the Equitable Coop
gave it's check in the usual course OF
business to Mccormick in payment o.
that Indebtedness and the evidence
showed that the $2,S45 constituted
part of the $6,24311 overdraft indebted
ness. It was claimed that this was
1rauQ upon the CIeuIlOIS Ol Tue ~
op, because Langton was an officer in
the Investment company and also pres
ident Of the Coop and that he used the
funds of the latter institution to pay
the Indebtedness of the Investment
company.
In conclusion the opinion says, the
evidence does not. show that the as
signment was made in contemplation
of the insolvency of the Coop, but on
the contrary to protect it's credit for
overdrafts and that the evidence does
not show that it was insolvent, but
shows that 1t was embarrassed on &C
count of a fire which occurred on Jan.
%, which did considerable damage to
its stock. but until the attachments,
which were thereafter levied by the
plaintiff and other creditors had been
made, the intention of the directors
and managers of the Coop was to
continue the business after the adjust
ment between it and the insurance
companies of the losses it suffered by
the fire. His honor did not find from
the evidence that anything unfair was
intended by the parties in the transac-
lions complained of and judgment was
therefore entered for the defendants

IN A CHICKENS CRAW.
Nugget and Jewlery Found in the

Nugget and Jewlery Found in the
Crop of Barnyard Fowl.
In certain portions of the west re
ports have been in circulation regard
ing the finding Of gold in the interior
workings of ducks and chickens and
these statements have been corrobo-
rated to such an extent that now it is
beginning to be taken as a matter of
course when other rumors of this kind
are reported.
The same thing has happened in Utah
and it was not long ago that an effort
was made on the part of Salt Lakers
to purchase ground of a rancher on the
foothills south and east of the city be-
cause of the fact that the chickens
raised by the farmer in question pre-
ferred gold nuggets in aiding digestion
rather than common. everyday gravel.
Another evidence Of the money TO be
made in the pOuitry-raising industry
was brought to light yesterday, when
a c. Brown Of 464 Fourth East street
took to Assayer Korty a gold nugget
aud some pieces CT brass jewelry which
had been found by one of the familz-
while engaged in dissecting a chicken
ior table use.
Mr.. Brown, in a small way, is a
raiser Of chickens, and in order to ia
cilitate their growth and also to make
the brood happy and contented. he
caused a load of gravel to be dumped
in the back yard. and it is presumed
that the fowl in question, attracted by
the glitter of the yollow metal took it
in along with sundry pieces OF brass
jewelry which probably had been drop
ped by children at plag.
The gold nugget, according to Mr.
KoIty. is valued at about % cents, and
rs y AR. Brown is trying to find out
V here the load Of gravel came from.

Sheriff Lewis has requested by tele-

him and hold him, and in the meantime
the county attorney is making a thor

view of having requisition papers made
out for the return of Hatfield to Salt

and a number of farmers and others
consigned to him large quantities of
potatoes and other produce to be sold,
and as stated in The Herald of yester-

away without paying the people who
