WENT WITHOUT WARNING.
Seen in Denver and Then Lost Sight
Of ENTIRELY.


Alice Rogers, a pretty girl of about 16
years of age, came to Salt Lake a few
months ago with her mother. They
came from California, where Mr.. Rog-
ers, the girls father, is living. Mrs.
Rogers was in the city only for short
visit, and had been here but a few
days when her daughter came in and
told her she was going out for while,
and would be back for supper. Supper
time arrived, and the girl did not show
up, and Mrs. Rogers became greatly
worried about her. Finally, about II
O clock that night, she reported to the
police that she feared that Alice had
left the country.
Alice had threatened to go to Butte,
and it was thought that she had car
ried out her threat. The mother was
nearly distracted and especially so
when she discovered that Alice had
taken about $40 which had been sent
to her by her husband. Besides, she
took with her small grip and some
clothes Though the police did all in
their power, they could not find any
trace of the girl until finally word was
received that she was seen in Denver
in company with a young man. Com
municaticns WE'RE sent to the police at
that place, with instructions to arrest
and hold her for her mother.
Alice probably heard of the efforts
that We're being made for her capture,
and went on to Kansas City. 1t was
not known why the girl left, but it was
thought that she had been correspond
ing with some man, and had met him
and gone on east. In fact, report
was received by the police here that
on the night the girl left home she was
noticed in Ogden, where she met a
young man who came in on the train
from the west that evening 1t was
thought that il was prearranged
elopement, but the dispatch from Den
yer does not tell Of any man in the
case.

A Celestial Row.

Justice Morris Sommer yesterday
committed TO jail for one day a China
man named Sue Lee for contempt of
court for refusing to obey an order Of
the court to pay over $50 which he held
to Wah Ling and other celestials The
proceedings grew out of very old case,
in which Wah Ling, Don Fong, Ed Lee,
Quong Yuck, Tong YOn Chin and Moo
Lee Tong sued zee On, c. II. King and
Quong 1Nah to recover on a bond Judg-
inent was given for the plaintiffs. but
even after supplemental proceedings,
nothing was found to apply on the
Judgment.
Recently it appeared that Sue Lee
had $50 belonging to the defendant,
Quong Wah, who sold his laundry to
Lee, and the $50 was part of the pur-
chase price. Proceedings Were then
brought to get the $50 from Lee to APP
ply on the judgment against Quong
Wah, and the court made an order for

ANOTHER AFFIRMATION.
Edwin A. Peck VS.. the Girard In
surance COMPANY.


surance Company.
In the case of Edwin A. Peck VS..
Girard Fire & Marine Insurance COM
pany, appellant, the opinion was writ
ten by Chief Justice Zane and con-
CURED in by Justices Bartch and
Miner, and affirmed the judgment Of
the district court. The action was
brought on a policy executed by the
defendant to Erastus Christofferson,
insuring his house against fire, in the
sum of $1,000 The defendant based
his defense on two provisions of the
policy, the first of which reads, Loss,
if any, payable to Edwin A Peck
mortgage, as his interest may appear -
and the second, This policy shall be
void if any change other than by the
death of an insured takes place in the
interest, title or possession Of the sub
ject of the insurance, whether by legal
process or judgment or by voluntary
act of the insured or otherwise
The debt secured by the mortgage
WAS $756.e5, and the loss by the fire
amounted to S692.59 The district court
rendered Judgment against the defend
ant for the latter amount, which is
now affirmed.
The conclusion of the court was that
the suit was properly brought; that
the deed of Christofferson, though alb
solbte in form, was in effect mort
gage and did not change or transfer
to Peterson his interest in or his title
to the property or violate the condition
or prohibition relied upon or forfeit
PLAINTIFF right to the loss proven.

RANNEMAN VS.. KARRrcK.
United States Supreme Court At
firmed the Utah Courts.

The case of Hanneman VS.. Karrick
was originally tried before Judge NIer-
rift. as referee, and decided in favor
OF the plaintiff. An appeal was taken
to the then territorial supreme court,
which affirmed the findings of Judge
Merritt, and the defendant then car
ried the case to the United States su-
preme court. The action involved
about $4,000, which, with interest, now
amounts to- $4,000.
In reference to this case The Herald
a few days ago received a dispatch
from Washington, D. c., stating that
the United States supreme court had
handed down q decision reversing the
lower courts. This led to inquiry, and
private kilograms received from Wash
ington yesterday announced that the
report was erroneous, and that the
United States supreme court had af-
firmed the Utah courts, thus making

Baby Broke out with ScrofuIa Sores.
CAT the age of two months, my baby
began to have sores break out on his right

the sore was gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more another scrofulous look

grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, 1 began giving him

SarsaparilIa, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores We're well and have
never returned. He is now four years old,
but he has never had any sign of those
