DISTRICT COURTS.

The year has seen the retirement of
Judges Richie and Street, who were
appointed by the governor to fill vacan-
cies caused by the resignation of
Judges HoWat and LIE Grand Young,
and in the place of the two first named
Judges Norrel and Cherry, who were
elected in November, 1896, now sit on
the bench.
Judge Hiles is the senior judge of the
district. He presides over the equity
and probate departments, and during
the year he has been so indefatigable
a worker that the equity calendar is
now practically up to date. Since Jan.
1 he has disposed of S02 cases, at the
vember termJanuary term 277 April
term, 220, September term, 179, Novem-
bel, term 126. His calendar is now only
so days behind so that equity cases
begun in November will be set for trial
the coming January, which is about as
close up as can be, because lawyers are
seldom ready to try cases in less than
60 days after they are filed. Divorces,
mining and foreclosure cases form the
great majority of those tried before
Judge Hiles with the first named prob
ably in the lead.
The probate division is we'll taken
care of by Judge Hiles, and now there
is no unnecessary delay in settlement
of the estates of deceased persons.
Judge Norrell, who has charge of the
criminal division, has been very dill
gent in his work, and besides criminal
cases, heard all the civil suits arising
in Summit county and triable at Coal
vile, and also gave attention to sum
dry civil actions tried in Salt Lake
county. The criminal calendar is right
up to date, and law breakers have not
to wait long for justice to be melted
out to them. The most important Grim
inal cases tried during the year were
those OF Lou Hamilton, for the muir
der of her husband, John H. Hamilton,
and of Cora Thomas, also for the MUIR
der of her husband Both, as is known,
were acquitted by the juries, the cases,
however, were tried with marked abil-
ity and the fairness and correctness of
Judge Norrell's rulings and general
bearing on the bench during the trials
| was the subject of comment and COM
mendation.
Judge Cherry has a very heavy end
to support. The law cases are the most
numerous and generally consume more
time in hearing than the equity cases,
so that, although Judge Cherry has
worked as hard and effectively as any
of his colleagues, his calendar is still
two years behind,- except in Tooele
county, where the amount of litigation
| is small, and there it is practically up
! to date. Still Judge Cherry has gained
nearly a wear, as when he started in,
the law calendar was nearly three years
| behind.
1t is understood that Judge Hiles ex-
! poets to have some spare time on his
hands next year, and will devote it to

VALUABLE BUILDING ROCK
FOUND.
Many new lodges of building rock
have been found and opened this year
Granite, marble, sandstone and that
rare and valuable rock, the oynx, have
all been quarried from their resting
place in mother earth and are now be-
ing worked into cut stone for building
and slabs and columns for monument
and headstone work. The year 1897
has seen great advancement in this
county's resources of building and
ornamental rock.
MINES AND MINING.
That Box Elder county has some min
eral wealth within it's borders is clearly
shown by the developments of the past
year The Willard Hill district has
been prospected and developed and
within the past month three claims
there have been bonded for $4,000. The
Consolidated Mining & Milling COM
pany, three miles north of Brigham
City, have made q successful ship
ment of ore this summer have re-
paired their buildings which were
destroyed by the snowslide last spring,
and have done a great deal of de-
velopment work on the main and adj
joining claims. The old Ashbrook
mines in the northwestern part of the
county have produced more gold and
silver than for many years past, and
the new locations in Park valley are
making a good showing. SO the mines
OF this county have made good progress
the past year and their prospects were
never brighter.

In the temples of justice of this state
the year just closing has not been
marked by any events of transcendant
Importance, either from the stand
point of the lawyers or from the view
of the general public. The courts in
the seven judicial districts into which
the state is divided have been busy.
Particularly has this been so in the
Third district. which embraces Salt
Lake City, where the litigation is heav-
lest. The state supreme court has kept
right up with the work, but the num-
Der of cases appealed to that tribunal
have been fewer than usual. The bust
ness of the federal court is increasing.
1t was light in the year 1896, the first

but it is gradually and steadily increas-

THE CIRCUIT CoURTs.

The United States circuit and district
court is presided over by Judge John
A. Marshall, who was appointed by
President Cleveland some months after
the admission of Utah as state. Judge
Marshall is one of the leading lawyers
of the west and for years was men,
Der of the highly respectable firm of
Bennett, Marshall & Bradley. He is
an ideal judge in every respect and
it is considered well within the proba-
bilities that he will one day occupy
place on the bench of the supreme
court of the United States. So sfar
his duties on the bench have been
light, but they are increasing and in
the course of year or two will be
quite heavy.
Hon. Jerrold R. Letcher is clerk of
the federal court. He is a lawyer by
profession and eminently qualified for
the responsible position he holds His
deputy is John w. Christie, than whom
there is no more capable, hard work
ing and painstaking office-holder in
the state

STATE SUPREME COURT.

The attorneys and the courts have
now become thoroughly conversant
with the change in procedure incidental
to the change from a territory to a
state, and the machinery runs smooth
~ and without any bitches. During the
first year of statehood and this year,
to some extent also, the supreme court
has had to construe constitutional
points in cases which have been ap-
pealed. and in this way many impor-
tant decisions settling the law to be
followed in the state in the future have
been rendered.
One hundred and fifteen cases were
argued and passed upon in the state
supreme court. during the year, and
for the next term there are SO cases
on the calendar. Hon. c. S. Zane is the
chief justice, and Hons. Bartch and
James A. Miner, associate justices
l.. P. Palmer is the clerk of this court,
and with his deputy, H. w. Griffith,
keeps the records in f1rst-class style
They are both very efficient and con-
scientious in the performance of their
duties.

JUSTICES COURTS.

There are six justices of the peace in
the city, one in each of the five wards,
and the police justice. D. H. Wenger
has acceptably filled the latter position
for Awo years and will retire on jan 1,
in favor of j. B. TimmOny, who was
elected to the office last November The
other justices are w. W. Gee, First
ward; Morris Sommer, Second ward;

STATE TRIBUNALS.

Two years ago, when statehood came,
the courts were glutted and the civil
calendar was nearly three years be-
hind in the Third district court, and
also in arrears in the other three jul
dicial districts into which the terri
tory was divided, the legal machinery
provided under the territorial govern
ment being altogether inadequate to
keep pace with the litigation. Since
statehood the increase in the number
of district judges, and the relief af-
forded by the district judges not being
required to act as judges of the su-
preme court, and the opening of the
federal court in this state have enabled
the district courts to pull UP consider
ably on the calendars, and in all the
districts but the Third the calendars
are right up to date. In the Third dis
trict the criminal calendar is up to
date, the equity calendar almost so,
but the law calendar is still two years

During the year, the department of
the legal machinery which is conducted
by the clerk of the district courts and
his deputies has been managed with
marked ability, coupled with strict
economy. County Clerk and Clerk of
District Courts ID. G. Dunbar gives it
his personal supervision. and his depu-
ties, George D. Loomis. George e. Blair.
Miss Margaret III. Liggan, f. W. Little
9. Il. Felt, and the minute clerks, Miss
Bertha Hampton and Miss Horne, keep
the records and attend to the duties Of
the department in way that precludes
criticism.
The three court stenographers, j.
Tracy Smith in the equity division
John Pike in the criminal and Miss
Hartley in the law, are very efficient
and perform their duties in such a man
ner. as gives general satisfaction
Either as q result of bad times or
from a more pacific tendency on the
part of the community, the number of
new cases begun during the past two
years has fallen very much below the
record of the two preceding years. In
the year 1894 there were filed in the
Third district court 1923 civil suits; in
1895, 1,030; in 1896, $50, exclusive of Sum
nit and Tooele counties; in 1897, up to
Dec. 25, 500, exclusive of Summit and

READY TO RISE
Japanese Planning a Coup in the
Sandwich Islands

SAN FRANCISCO, August 26.-The
steamer Mariposa arrived this morning
from Sydney via Honolulu with the fol-
lowing Hawaiian advices: The Hawai-
ian government has not yet received an
answer from Japan regarding the offer
to refer the immigration trouble to ar
bitration. There is no change in the sit
uation here. The Hawaiian Star, COM
menting upon the admission of Japan
ese that in case of trouble all the
Japs in Honolulu would meet in a
rendezvous, says: IF we look up Japan
ese correspondence and articles in the
Japanese press there is found frequent
allusion to an uprising in the islands.
1t is one of the excuses for the presence
of the Naniwa in our waters. Should
such a rising take place it would be very
easy for the Japanese government to re-
pudiate it if unsuccessful, and it would
be very easy to reap the advantages
were it successful. This idea of a prob
able rising is ever present kn Japanese
minds in the empire, and there is good
reason to believe that it is present
among Japanese minds here"

HOSPITALS AT HAVANA
CROWDED WITH SICK SPANISH
SOLDIERS
Allied Anarchists Resolve to Avenra
Angiolillo by the Murder of

HAVANA (via Key West), August &c.
There are 1000 Spanish soldiers in the
hospitals of Havana and other points.
About 1000 are sent back monthly to
Spain incapacitated. Sickness is in
creasing. The health of the city is not
good. The official reports show that for
the week ending August 18th the death
rate was 80 per 1000 Business is at a
complete stan6still. The army is not be-
ing paid, and a feeling Of hopelessness
prevails among the Spanisrds and Gu
bans alike. No one has much faith in
the success of General Woodford's mis-
sion to Spain.
LONDON, August 26-The Stand
ards correspondent at San Sebastian
says: Il learn that Spain has intimated
her Willingness to make considerable re-
ductions in the contemplated West In
dian tariffs, in order to develop the trade
of Cuba with the United States, and was
willing to negotiate reciprocity treaty
when the Ding1ey tariff came into force,
but the United States government re-
ceived her advances coldly, because il
wanted the Cuban question settled first.
indeed, Spain is now aware that Amer
lean diplomacy will soon raise other and
more important questions before any
commercial questions are likely to be
mooted."
A dispatch to the Daily Mail from San
sebastian says: The Spanish govern
ment has learned that at a secret an
erchist meeting in London it was re-
solved to revenge the execution of
Angiolillo, the assassin of Canovas del
Castillo, by an attempt upon the life OF
the queen regent of Spain. Twenty of
the ablest Barcelona detectives. it is re-
ported, have been detailed to protect the
queen regent.
