Guilty to the Murder of ]. W. Dent
Reform School Candidates.

The supreme court yesterday handed
down an opinion in the case OF Horace
A. Heath, appellant, VS.. Salt Lake City,
affirming the judgment of the district
court in favor of the defendant.
The action was brought to recover
s., 72O. with interest. for salaries al
legged to be due the plaintiff and seven
other police officers, who assigned
their claims to him. The plaintiff
claimed that he and the other seven
police officers were wrongfully dis
missed, and the amount sued for was
for salary.
1t appeared from the record that for
a long time prior to Aug. IA, 1894, the
plaintiff and his assignors were mem
bers of the police department OF Salt
Lake City, the whole force, as fixed
by ordinance at that time, consisting OF
40 men, including a captain OF police.
On that date the city council passed an
ordinance fixing the number OF the
regular police force at not to exceed
Al men, and in pursuance of that or
dinance on Aug. 29, 1894, the chief of
police suspended, without pay, the
plaintiff and his assignors, the sus-
pension TO take effect on or after Sept
/ following, and to continue until ac-
ton was taken by the police and hre
commissioners, and at the same time
notified each of them accordingly, and
also the board of police and fire COM
missioners.
On Sept. following the commission
confirmed, by motion, in an open ses-
sion, the action of the chief of police,
and suspended them permanently. No
persons have since been appointed to
fill any of the places.
Counsel for the appellant insisted
that the law respecting the police and
fire departments gave no authority to
remove the appellant or any other
member of the police force from office,
except for cause, and the appellant re-
lied on the act of the legislature ere
ating the police and fire commission
to support that contention.
The opinion, which was written by
Justice Bartch and concurred in by
Justice Miner and District Judge Nc
Carly, held that the law gave no au
thority to dismiss or remove a mem
Der of the police department from Of
fee for the purpose of appointing an
other person TO fill the vacancy or to
remove any officer at all, except for
cause, but that the city council, having
the power to create the offices in the
police department, has, in the absence
of statutory or constitutional restraint,
the power to abolish them, and that
the plaintiff and his fellows having
been discharged because of the abro-
cation of their offices, they had no
valid claim against the city for sal
aries, and. therefore, could not recover
in this action.

MRS. GEMMELL's PLANT.
Alleges Cruelty and That Her Mar
riage Was Obtained By Fraud.

Janet P. Gemmell has entered suit
for divorce from William Gemmell, al
leging that the marriage took place at
Sandy, Utah, on April II, 1890, and that
shortly afterwards the defendant be-
gan a course. of ill-treatment of the
plaintiff. 1t is alleged that in 1892 he
struck her in the face with his fist
with great violence, and that on Oct.
Z. 1897, he beat her very seriously, cauS-
ing her to give premature birth to a
child, which died a few hours after it
was born. Other instances of abuse are
cited. 1t is then alleged that the mar
riage was brought about by fraud on
the part of the defendant, in that he
represented that his former wife was
dead, when in truth and in fact she
was not and no legal separation was
had. Plaintiff further alleges that the
defendant is man of gross habits and
vile tongue, and unfit to have the GUS
tody of the children.
She prays for a decree of divorce
the custody of their two children. that
she be awarded the household furni-
ture and a reasonable amount of ALI
mony, and that a restraining order is
sue, preventing the defendant from dis
posing of his property pending the
hearing of the suit. The defendant
is fireman in the employ of the Ore
gon Short Line Railway company, and.
his wife says, is possessed of consider
able means.
