Town is Fast Gaining Unenviable
Notoriety.


Richfieid, Utah, June 1.-THE town
gets no better fast, though lawyers ana
editors kept out of the mills today.
There had been a complaint sworn out
for Attorney J. Z. Jennings, and he
heard Of ii, so went and surrendered
himself, pleaded guilty to using profane
and abusive language, paid Il So me
and went away.
This morning a new saloon opened
with free drinks. Chris Peters IN, who
struck his mother with chair some
months ago, and is often implicated in
drunken rows, got a jag on. He and
Hy Riley were together and Chris
cussed Nv and followed MIN every
where ne went. In a little while the
two happened into Rapp & Beans Of
fee, where Editor Crosby and Attorney
Bean had their set-to Saturday. The
spirit of fight seemed TO still hover
there, and Peterson started in. The
proprierors threw them out, just as
Mayor Brandley came along. He dep
utized =. ?. Bean to make the arrest,
but Chris stood him off with rock.
The city marshal was sent .OI, Whsn
the culDrit jumped on a horse and
started to leave town. The marshal
ran him down, and Peterson started
for town, falling off the horse ana go
ing on foot. When the officers finally
overlook him. handcuffed him and
started for jail the prisoner caught the
officers hand and began TO bite uamer-
cifully The officer knocked him over
with a club, and finally put him in jail.

injector AT work While he was shovel
ing coal. The defense sought TO estab-
lish that this was impossible There
are four afiidavfts filed, their purport IN
general being to show Irregularities in
the drawing of the jury for the panel
and particular bias in the case OF one
of the jurors. Encch Farr. ST.
Alex Wilkinson. jr., at one time IRE
man, makes affidavit that Mr. farr
met him en- the street while the triai
of the case was in progress and that
he questioned affiant about technical
matters involved in the case. particu-
larry as to whether the fireman could
hear the injector at work in case water
was being discharged into the tender
Wilkinson had given negative an
swer Mr.. Farr had also asked about
a brother Of affiant who was also fire
man and was told that he lived in
North ogden. Mr.. Farr said he would
go to North Ogden and see him.
AT the time he was talking with me
so the affant says. he took a small
book from his pocket and wrote my
name and the name of my brother and
told me TO go see Richards & Mcmillan
and that : could make a few dollars
as witness fees in the case. 1 noticed
that he had quite number OF other
names of witnesses in his book"
Another affidavit is filed by Andrew
Howatt. attorney for the company. in
which he calls attention to- the fact
that the exigencies of the case required
that IS names be drawn from the jury
box and that amongst the names drawn
were Amasa Belnap, a brother of the
sheriff; Enoch Farr. sr., and Ezra Farr,
brothers o. the county clerk, and Alex
Wilkinson, ST. When the defense per-
emptorily challenged Wilkinson, Enoch
Farr was drawn in his place. The two
Fairs and Belnap all sat in the case.
Another affidavit by Howatt explains
how the points which Mr.. FAIR is al
legged TO have questioned about were
of vital in crest in the case.
An affidavit by NJ. d. Barstow, court
reporter, accompanies a transcript of
the examination of Enoch Farr. ST.,
and his answers to the questions touch
ing his qualifications as juror in the
case. This is a voluminous document.
Mr.. Farr admitted that he had heard
casually a little o. the evidence in the
Campbell case, which preceded the
Konold case
Richards, Mcmillan & Pratt seemed
in no wise worried over the affidavits.
saying that such efforts are always
made to have verdicts set aside.

MUST ISSUE BONDS.
SCHOOL TRUSTEES CANNOT
GIVE PRoMISSoRY NOTES.
Attorney General Delivers an Opin-
ion on an Important Question to
the State Superintendent of
Schools.

Replying to communication. the at
torney general by his deputy. Benner X.
Smith, yesterday wrote to Hon. John r.
Park state superintendent of public in
struction:
1 am in receipt of your favor of the
10th inst. asking an opinion upon the
following question:
If a school district in the state should
act in accordance with section II of chap
ter Y of the school laws of 1897 and Gre
ate an Indebtedness for any of the Dur-
poses allowed therein. may the trustees
OF such district, as security for said in
debtedness. legally sign a promissory
note for the Indebtedness incurred? Or in
what way shall security be made for the
Indebtedness created in accordance with
the above law?
Chapter II of the school laws of 1897.
being found at page 137 of the session
laws, provides for the levyirg of a tax
by the duly called meeting of the school
district for the purpose of raising money
to purchase, rent. repair or furnish school
houses or redeem outstanding bonds or
for the payment of teachers salaries or
current expenses. This chapter contem-
plates and provides for the payment of
these expenses by taxes. and after the
taxes collected by a levy, under this act,
have been paid into the proper treasury,
TIE school trustees may properly draw
above specified IT is my opinion that
there is no authority in the trustees to
execute notes for this indebtedness. They
are authorized in chapter u TO issue
bonds for the purpose of building and
furnishing school houses or 10 fund or
refund any outstanding indebtedness.
This chapter does not authorize them to
execute promissory notes; the legislature
having required the trustees to issue
bonds as evidence of the Indebtedness,
without giving them the power to exc
cute notes The. action of the trustees
must be restricted in accordance with the
legislative will. and the power of the
trustees to contract debts should not be
enlarged by construction or implication.
II the trustees of school districts desire
to fund or refund their indebtedness. or
build and furnish school houses. they
should proceed by issuing bonds in the
manner provided by chapter Is of the
school laws of 1897.

ANCE AGAINST WIN. LANGToN
The Trouble Arose Over the occu-
pancy of a House and Arrearage
of Rent-Emerson Arrested.


J. P. Emerson. who resides with his
family at the corner of. Eighth West
and Second North streets, got after
William Langton. the manager of the
Equitable Coop store, with a gun yes
terday afternoon. His name now
adorns the police register. while Mr..
Langton is still running his merchan-
disc business.
Mr.. Imerson's family last night slept
in a house without either roof or VIM
dows. The two incidents form the Sc
quel to an interesting process OF eject
nlent
Many years ago Mr.. Langson built
for his mother-in-law. Mrs. Preece, a
frame house at the corner Of Eighth
West and Second North. Instead Of
moving into it she rented it out to Mr..
Emerson, who has been occupying 1t
for nearly two years.
Mr.. Emerson. like hundreds IF other
people in the city, fell behind IN mis-
rent and. according to Mrs. Presce 5
story, is now in arrears several months.
A short time ago she instituted a suit
of ejectment. to which Mr.. Emerso n
set up an answer that there was TO
such woman as Mrs. Preece interested
in the premises; that the house be-
longed to William Langto7 and not the
plaintiff. and finally that under an
agreement with Mr.. Langton he .Emer-
SOM was to stay in the house for a
period of five years free Of charge.
The suit threatened 10 become
costly affair. and yesterday ;he owners
of the house resolved to adopt differ
ent methods.
A corps of four workman was en-
gagged by Mr.. LangtOn and ordered 10

the tenants would get out

angry. He straishtway Went 70 his gu
reau drawer and took out a siX-shooter,
every chamber loaded with 3S-calibre
He started uD town without saying a
word 20 his family as 20 his InisS.oE,
but it was evident there was blood IN
his eye.
When next heard Of Emerson was or
Richards street, Just outside or the sloe
door TO the COOP store. one OF the
clerks heard the man say he WAS wait
ing for Langton to ta@e shot at him.
The latter was informed of the dangsr
and sought safety, While an employee
of the store went in search Of police
man. Shortly Officer Dillon responded
and Emerson was conveyed ID the std-
ton and booked on Il charge 3f carry

of the Manitou holel, was sent for. and
he put I'D SO bail AMI secured ETer-
sons release. the case will be aired in

Emerson deems it more advisable to
