SUPREME COURT OPINION.
DR.. ]. F. Millspaugh Wins His APP
peal Case.

The supreme court handed down an
opinion in the case of the Salt Lake
Valley Loan & Trust company VS.. ]. F.
Millspaugh ct al, appellants, in which
the judgment of the lower court is re-
Yersed. The appellants borrowed from
the respondent $4,000. and gave their
promissory note for the same, secured
by trust deed to three pieces of
property. On April Is, 1893, the ap-
peliants sold the property to a. J.
Schlager for $4,000. $1,000 of which was
paid for lot 3. block a, plat F, covered
by the trust deed, and the same was
sold subject to the trust deed. After
wards lot 8 was sold for S2250, and
the amount credited on the note and
the lot released from the trust deed,
however, without the appellants being
consulted in the matter. The balance
Of the property was afterwards sold,
and the proceeds applied on the note.
and still a balance of S598.53 was left
due. Plaintiff then sued the defend
ant, Millspaugh, for that sum, and got
judgment in the district court The
supreme court reversed this and grant
ed a new trial, holding that the burden
OF proof as to the value of the property
sold was upon the plaintiff. and that it
erred by not introducing testimony in
that regard. Millspaugh ought also~to
have been notified of the release of the
property from the trust deed after the
sale and his consent obtained.
The opinion was written by Justice

While the eastern season is half COM
pleted, the principal teams here as yet
have not met on the gridiron, but the
future is most promising.
Fer the past three years there has
been a dispute as to whether the Y. VI.
Q. A or Crescents, who now play I'M
der the name of Elks, deserved the
championship. 1t is finally to be set
tied, and the two rival teams will con-
test for the championship in a series of
three games. The first and third games
will be played on the Fort Douglas
grounds, while the third is TO be played
in Ogden. The dates of the games are
Nov. 5, u and 49,
Both of the teams have been consid-
erably strengthened, and Will put up
warm article of football. The Y. NJ.
c. A. has obtained the services of three
players who are experts in their posi-
lions. These are Wilson, Kellar and
Fletcher.
Wilson is player of national repute.
On last years Cornell team he was the
tower of strength behind the line. He
played half-back in the game against
Princeton, when Princeton was able to
score only two touchdowns, and one
Of these was a fiuke. In the Cornell
Pennsylvania game, in which Cornell
was defeated by the extremely small
score of to 0, Wilson played full-back.
His ability as player has been highly
commended by such authorities as
Camp ard Dashiel.
Kellar is renowned throughout the
west as a guard of no mean ability. His
magnificent playing while member of
the University of Nebraska team did
much toward their winning the cham
piOnship.
Fletcher proved himself an efficient
end while on the varsity team OF Simp-
son college, Iowa.
The trio have just returned from
Butte, where they played against the
renowned Butte club They were the
only members of the Deadwood team
who had ever played the game before.
but, nevertheless. Butte was unable to
defeat them, the final score being 5-5.
These additions TO an already strong
team will make an aggregation hard to
beat. A game with Butte is practically
settled, and trip 10 the coast is con-
templated.
Nothing definite is known in regard
10 the Elk team. II is rumored several
important changes have been made in
the personnel of the team. and they in
tend springing a big surprise on Satur-
day next.
1t is an absolute certainty that next

tific and the fercest contested of any
game ever played on a Utah gridiron.

Opinion-District Court Orders.

In the four cases of Thomas f.
IIowells, Brig w. Ashton, Mary t.
Hendry ct al and John II. White VS.
the Pacific Savings. Loan & Building
company, Judge Hiles yesterday over
ruled the demurrers and allowed the
defendant 20 days TO ANSWER. The
dernurrers were argued at consider
able length, Messrs. Pierce, CrltchloW
* Barrette representing the plalntlns
and Mr. NJ L. Richie appearing for
the defendant company. The points
involved are of considerable Importance
10 those who hold building and loan
stock.
The facts in the four cases are SINH
lar, so that a statement of one will sui
fee for all. Thomas T. HOwells bor-
:owed $1,000 from the defendant COM
pitny and took stock in the company
Il the amount, when fully paid up OF
8, GOO. The company made HoWells
give it as a premium half of his stock
and also made him sign over to 1t the
other half as security for the loan, to-
gether with a mortgage on certain real
estate. and required him TO pay bOc
dues Per month on each share OF stock
until the stock matured- or, in other
words, the company required him to
pay back $1,000. when the amount he
borrowed was only $500.
Howeils then Instituted the present
suit for the cancellation of the mort
gage and to get back the amount he
had paid in excess Of the amount he
borrowed.
The defendant demurred to the COM
plant, claiming that the plaintiff had
no right in the premises until his stock
had fully matured, but Judge lilies
overruied the demurrer.
Two SIMILAR cases, that of Sawtelie
VS. the Peoples Building & Loan asso-
citation, and Fowble VS.. another build
ing and loan association, were before
the state supreme court not long ago,
and that tribunal held that contract
requiring q person to pay back double
the amount he borrowed. besides IN
terest. was unconsciOnable and void
and that when the borr, were pays the
amount of his loan the mortgage is
cancelled.

MISS BERTHA LAW
Given Into the Custody of Mrs. Rstta
Callahan.


By an order of the court made by
Judge Hiles yesterday, Bertha G. Law
aged 10, on her own notion was taken
from the custody OF her mother, Mrs.
Luna Clark, and given into the care
and keeping of Airs. Retta Callahan
until she becomes Of age
Bertnas petition was filed IN the
prcbate court some time ago and was
partly heard a week ago last Satur-
day. Miss Bertha alleged that her
mother treated her with extreme cru
city. frequently beating her ana call
ing her vile names and compelling her
to visit houses of iH-repute for the
purpose Of obtaining washing
At the hearing yesterday Judge II. Z.
Henderson represented Mrs Clark, VINO
resisted the petition of her daughter,
and Judge Anderson represented Mrs.
Callahan and the girl
Judge Henderson made a statement
to the effect that after diligent inquiry
he had come to the conclusion that con-
siderable ilI-feeling existed between
the mother and daughter, and that Mrs.
Clark was prepared to -allow her daugh-
ter to leave home provided a fit and
proper person was appointed by the
court to take care Of her. The mother
did not want Mrs. Callahan appointed,
for the reason that she did not believe
she was the right kind of person
The following named witnesses were
examined, all of whom testified to the
good character of Mrs. Callahan and
the girl. and the cruel treatment ac-
corded the latter by her mother: Isaac
A. Hancock, Mrs. Nettie Sheffield, Mel
lie Franks, W. D. Cline and General
Penrose.
The girl was recalled TO the stand
and. in answer to Judge Henderson,
said she had attended school i'll Colo
RADIO. and the Fremont, Twelfth and
Oduirrh schools of this city; denied
any wrong-doing, and said her mothers
conduct had caused her TO lose all re-
spect for her. She didn't want to be
sent TO the Rescue home.
Mrs. DR.. PIummer was called and
stated the objects of the Rescue mis-
sion, one of which was to take care of
fallen women. Judge Anderson asked
Mrs Plummer if she didn't think it
would be detrimental to the morals Of
q young girl to come in contact with
women Of that class. The witness re
piled that it undoubtedly would, but
such a thing as their coming in contact
with each other was barely possible at
the home.
Mrs. Clark was then called and told
a long story of what she had heard
respecting the character of Mrs. Gala
han and what her girl had told her.
Her story was denied by Mrs. Gala
han and the girl, after which Judge
FIiles granted the petition, at the same
time stating that if at any future time
Mrs. Clark could show that Mrs. Gala
han was not a proper person to have
the care Of the child, the order would
lie changed.

New Iorz1 Press: The statement in

uation may be little more than a guess.
But there are conditions which attes.

bound to do, withdraws its guiding and

THE KERR DIVORCE CASE.
Husband Granted Decree On Ground
of Desertion.

Joseph B. Kerr was granted a decree
of divorce from Laura Kerr on the
grounds of desertion. 1t appeared that
the parties intermarried in Ohio on
Nov. B.. 1891, and that in June, 1894, Mrs.
Kerr went back to Ohio on a visit,
and refused to return 10 her husband
in Salt Lake. The plaintiff testified to
that state of facts. and when asked
by Judge Hiles. said that Mrs. Kerr
was not an unfit person TO have the
custody of their two children. The tes-
timony of Mr.. Kerr was corroborated
by Mrs. Harriet NJ. Parsons, and the
decree was granted, and the mother
given the custody of the children.

Some Solid Truths.

Nashville Christian Advocate: It is the
waste of single days that makes our lives
fruitless failures.
Indifference TO the claims of duty begets
a gradual hardening of the heart.
The best opinion of any man is the
opinion of the people that know MIN best.
Let all timorouS Christians remember
that God is still on his throne, and that
he viii not Yacate 1t over night.
Righteous indignation in man answers
to moral wrath in God, and is not wrong
unless it is allowed TO degenerate into
malevolent anger.
The habit of complaining is one that
grows and grows. and the man or woman
that becomes subject to it is sure to lose
influence with ell associates.

DIED FOR A SCOOP"
How "Old Col" Collins Gave Up His
Life to Get the News.

Life to Get the News.
The struggles of newspaper CORE
spondents in Cuba furnish some of the
most heroic chapters of the war with
Spain. Frank Collins. who died at
Tampa two weeks ago, gave up his life
for scoop" He was full of the
American grit that never let's a man
fall down on a story. Collins worked
for Boston newspaper before the war.
"Old Col" as he was affectionately
called, was a hack reporter. He worked
hard, but he was never known to turn
up news. He could write beautiful
stuff" but he didn't know news from
ham sandwiches. He could write the
cauliflowers for an account Of a street
parade, and do it well. If a. house mad

he wouldn't have known a thing
