COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
ROUTINE BUSINESS DISPOSED
OF AT YESTERDAYS SESSION.
Jurors Certificates For Services in
Civil Cases-Another Meeting to
Be Held Today.

| Routine business kept the county
hours yesterday afternoon. Pay rolls
were allowed including the salaries of
the members themselves. The pay roll
audited amounted to about $4,000.
The resignation of Franklin Webb.
road supervisor of district No. SO. was
received and accepted.
In answer to the question as to
whether the county surveyor shall in
cluGe on the plats for the assessor the
names of persons holding final re-
States, the county attorney advised the
board that the same should be included,
as such property becomes liable to
taxation upon it's being paid for to the
United States.
The county attorney also submitted
an opinion to the effect that claims
against the county, based on juror
certificates for services rendered in
civil cases, should be presented and
authenticated in the same manner as
claims against the county for any
other Indebtedness.
AS to the payment of the money now
in the hands of the county, paid by the
state to take up certain certificates is
sued to jurors and witnesses in crimi-
settlement between the state and the
county as the states share of certifi-
Gates which failed to show whether the
services rendered were in civil or
criminal cases. the county attorney be-
lieveS these claims should not be re-
garded as claims against the county in
the sense in which that language is
used in the statute requiring the same
to be verified and audited, and the
treasurer can therefore pay out that
money, receiving said certificates as
his vouchers.
+ The county attorney recommended
payment of the claims of Michael Fitz-
gerald for $50 and Isaac Hadley for $50.
for services as special police officers
during the present year, it appearing
that these men were continued in serv-
ice under the appointment of the old
board
This report was followed by the pass
age of a resolution declaring all the
special police officers appointed by the
old board removed.
AS TO the claims of F. II. Beatty,
justice of the peace, Murray and w.
j. Harvey, justice of the peace of the
Second precinct, for services in criminal
cases before Dec. 81, 1885, the county
attorney was of the opinion that the
advice of ex-County Attorney White
more to justices of the peace that they
were entitled TO the fees allowed for
services by the laws of 1888, instead of
by the laws of 1896. was erroneous, and
therefore a large part of the fees for
which claims are made by these justices
of the peace should be disallowed,
without, however. in any way intend
ing to reflect upon their honesty or
their good faith in presenting these
claims.
The claim of Justice Beatty was cut
down from $32.10 to $21.5O, and w. J.
Harveys from $11.70 to $3.50.
Levi o. Oleson presented his resig-
nation as constable of West Jordan

The remittitur was received yeSter-
day from the United States supreme
court in the case of Alfred G. Brim, as
road supervisor of road district No. 2.
! Summit county, Utah, VS.. Thomas w.
Jones, appellant The United States
/ supreme court affirms the judgment
! of the state supreme court.
On May s. 1898, the defendant drove
a band of sheep over a public highway
! in Echo canyon and the sheep, in
travelling, damaged the highway by
destroying it's banks and by rollins
stones upon it. and the plaintiff recov-
cred judgment for $40, the amount OF
the damages, in a Justices court and
again in the district court. The state
supreme court upheld the Judgment
and the defendant carried the case to
the United States supreme court.
The defendant relied for a reversal
on the alleged unconstitutionality of
the territorial statute. section 2OS7 OF
| 1888, providing, that any person who
drives a herd of horses, mules, asses,
cattle, sheep, goats or swine over a
public highway, where such highway is
constructed on hillside. shall be liable
for all damages done by such animals
in destroying the banks or rolling stock
into or upon such highway" 1t was
contended that the statute is void be-
cause it contrayenes the fourteenth
amendment to the constitution of the
United States, which provides that no
state shall make or enforce any law
which shall abridge the privileges or
immunities of citizens of the United
States; nor shall any state deprive any
person of life, liberty or property with
out due process of law, nor deny to any
person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws"
The substance of the contention was
that sheepmen and stockmen had an
equal right with other citizens to the
use of the roads and that making them
pay damages was an abridgement of
that right.
The opinion of the state supreme
court was written by Justice Miner
and the decision, now affirmed, is i'm
portant because it upholds the legality
of the state statute, which allows dam
age for injury to the highway. Here
after cattlemen and sheepmen must
be careful about injury to the high
ways.

ARMOR PLATE TALK.
Manufacturers Roast Herbert, and
the Latter Replies.

Washington. Feb. 1.-THE NEST inter-
esting matter the senate committee on
naval affairs has had. since it began
the investigation of armor plate was
held today. Secretary Herbert and
Commodore Sampson and Messrs.
Schwals of the Carnegie company,
Lieutenant c. A. Stone. and Richard
Lineman, president of the Bethlehem
company, were present. The armor
plate men insisted that the secretary,
in his report, had not been accurate in
his conclusions or in his facts. He
had not been liberal enough. by 40 per
cent. in his estimate of the cost of
labor in producing armor plate. Plate
could not be made, both firms stated
for less than the sum for which they
had agreed TO make it, $3.50 a ton.
Secretary Herbert defended his report
and insisted that his conclusions were
not only accurate, but just, both to the
companies and the government.
A special meeting of the committee
will be held on Thursday, when it is
expected that the committee will take
some final action on the subject that
has now been under investigation for
the past six months.

KELLEY GRADUATES.
Wisconsin Counties Freed From a
Great Burden.

Madison, Wis, Feb. 1.-THE supreme
court today handed down a decision
which declares unconstitutional the
law under which county courts
have committed to Kelley insti-
tutes throughout the state INDECENT in
ebriates for treatment at the expense
of the county from which they were
committed. The test case was on an
appeal from the decision of the circuit
court of Milwaukee, which held that
Milwaukee county was liable for the
cost of treating patient committed to
the Wisconsin Kelley institute The
supreme court reversed this decision.
Milwaukee county alone will be re-
lieved of paying nearly $4,000 for treat
ment under such commitments, and
settlement of claims in many other
counties has been held in allowance
pending a decision as to constitutional
ity of the law.

O'MALLEY ON TRIAL.

Chicago, Feb. 1.-The first witness in
the trial of Alderman Thomas ]. O'Mal-
ley and John Santry, charged with the
murder of Gus Coliander at the polling
booth on Oak street in November, 1894,
was officer Michaels, who today swore
positively that OMalley was present
and took an active part in the riot
which ended in the death of Coliander
Michaels, who survived the riot after
receiving a painful bullet wound in the
thigh, testified that he saw the crowd
of rioters enter the booth, headed by
O'Malley. He heard the command
given by one of the rioters to hold up
their hands. He looked UP and saw
O'Malley with a revolver leveled at his
(Michaels') head. He threw up O'Mal-
ley's arm, and the bullet went into the
ceiling. Michaels identified Santry as
being one of the foremost in the riot
