Mr.. Davenport chief of police, and
Mr.. Anderson, city recorder, were put
on by the company and admitted that
they knew Of no expense that the city
is put to by reason of the telephone
system.
Mr. Henderson, city attorney, put on
no evidence, but stipulated that the
company admit that its poles and wires
occupied the streets.
Attorney George Sutherland rcpre-
sented the company and in his argu-
ment laid great stress on the Interstate

CHARGED ssNAP JUDGME1TT.''
Judgment Against Walter Moore Set
Aside at Moab.


Moab, Grand county. Utah. Dec. 10
Walter Moore presented affidavits this
morning in the district court upon
which he asked Judge Johnson to set
aside the judgment rendered in the
suit brought against him by l. 3. Foy
From these documents it appears that
Moore, after the case was at issue,
made a trip to Emporia. Kan, and was
there taken sick and was unable to be
in Moab at the time the case was
called for trial. The trial was pro
ceeded with however, and Judgment
was rendered against him.
Moore afterwards commenced an in
dependent suit in equity to enjoin the
enforcement CT the execution issued
under the Judgment, but this action
was yesterday dismissed by the court
as not being a proper remedy under
the circumstances. 1t appeared that
although the defendant himself was
absent at the trial, yet he was repre-
scented by counsel and fight was made
in mis- behalf.
The court ordered the judgment va
Gated and granted a new trial on con-
dition that defendant pay a portion of
the costs incurred and S25 attorney s
fees.

John e. Brown, the default of the de-

being residents of Grand county, but
the water being diverted in San Juan
county. consequently the case was dis
missed here and will re-commence in

[From The Herald Correspondence

>
Lehi, Utah, Dec. 17.-Tle great prob
lem now before the farmers is the
sugar beet question, and how to Sc
cure better seed and better prices for
beets. The Farmers union, recently
organized here TO accomplish these OBJ
jects, is strongly supported by many
beet raisers, while others favor a more
conservative course. The union has
sent out representatives to the farm
ers, and also letters in some cases,
around the country to ascertain the
sentiment on the subject. In most
cases the farmers express themselves
as favorable to the union. President
johnson Of the Spanish Fork union
says: we are with you in the matter.
So also is Alapleton and SprinGyille,
and VIII look to the Lehi farmers TO
lead ont IL the case. We need better
seed and more money for our beets,
and you have our sympathies.
Many of the Lehi farmers think that
with the proper seed and good
season, with rains, beet raising is very
profitable, especially with a small ad-
vance in prices.
Mr.. G. H. west of Greedy, Colo. is
visiting IN Lehi for the purpose Of in
vestigating beet culture. The. gentle
man is sent ont by the Denver cham
her OF commerce. and is very busy
alS0ng the farmers obtaining all the
information that can be had. He viii
visit the sugar company's factory and
expects to visit Salt Lake City. He
has visited the Grand Island and Nor
fork factories and viii leave in about
ten days for Eddy. New Mexico.
MEETING AT sPRINGvILLE.
SpringvIue independents: In pursu-
ance to the cali published in the last
Issue OF the Independent, between TO
and 100 of the beet growers of Spring
vile and Maplaton met in mass meet
ing at the city bali ut p. m. Monday.
j. 5. Boyer was chosen to act as
chairman and John Il. Lee as secre-
tary OF the meeting.
After some discussion it was decided
that a union of all the beet growers of
Utah county should be formed. so as
to better keep up the price of beets.
The following gentlemen We're APP
pointed as a committee to confer with
the beet growers of other sections OF
the county, with the idea of having q
convention OF beet growers called 20
meet in some city in the northern part
OF the county: B. L. Mendenhau,
George B. OIatson, jr., John 5. Boyer,
S. d. Fulmer, George Mason, Mont
Johnson and Archie Lambson.
The business of the convention will
be the forming of a closer union among
The beet growers and to petition the
sugar factory for a raise in the price
of beets, and to change some features
in the beet contracts. This move will
undoubtedly result in the forming of
a union of the beet growers who fur
nish the beets for the Utah Sugar
company.

MI. Adams RESIGNATION.

J. NJ. Adams, instructor at the State
Industrial school, has sent his resigna-
ton to the board of trustees. The ac-
ton was taken some time ago, but the
resignation has not yet been accepted.
No reason is assigned for Mr.. Adams
withdrawal, but it caused considerable
surprise, because he had been employed
for year, and for g. man to fill the
position, he must be not only an or
binary schoolteacher, but must be able
to teach the use of tools. It is under
stood that Mr. Adams will insist on
his resignation being accepted before
the wear closes.

WEBB LARcENY CASE.
Bill of Sale and Check Said to Be
Forgeries.

Fillmore. Dec. 1.-THE larceny case
against Edward N. Webb was sub
m:tted TO the jury at the close of to-
nights session. The cross examination
of the defendant was resumed this
morning by Mr. Whittemore at con-
siderable length, but without any ma
terial inroads on his first story. Two
or three witnesses were then sworn to
corroborate different circumstances of
the defendants story as to how he
came by the cattle. The prosecution
followed W with several witnesses to
show that the bills of sale of the all
legged cattle and a check that Webb
claims was given in part payment for
the cattle were forgeries.
Judge Higgins wrote to the clerk at
Nephi to adjourn court at that point
till Monday the 9th instant. Next
Monday is the time that the regular
December term should begin at Nephi.
but it became apparent to the judge
that he would not be through here in
time to conform to regular time of con-
vening court at Nephi on Monday
next, hence court will reconvene just
one week later.
