PRESIDENT ROWE ON THE STAND
REVENUES OF THE BEAR RIVER
COMPANY.
Big Income From the Sale of Lands
Proceedings In the Receivership
Case-Interest of the City.

The application of the plaintiffs for
a receiver in the case of Ogden city VS..
the Bear River Irrigation & ogden
Waterworks company, was heard yes
terday afternoon by Judge Rolapp.
The plaintiffs put on n. w. Bethel.
city engineer, TO show as to his inspec-
ton of the waterworks system and the
valuation ne placed on it, $267, 600.
w. II. Rowe, president of the COM
pany, was put on and questioned as to
the revenues, assets and liabilities of
his company; also regarding q certain
judgment or lien for about $4,000, held
against his company by William Gar
land and Corey Bros. & Co. He ad-
mitted that the judgment had not been
paid, and that there had been a con-
terence in regard to compromising the
claim.
He put the net rentals obtained from
the water system at $4,000; rentals OF
water for irrigation purposes from the
Bear River canal, $4,000; rentals for
water in Corrinne and Bear River City
at about $500.
The company had between 5000 and
1000 acres of land under cultivation,
and derived a considerable revenue
therefrom. Last year it was about
S12. 600
These were about all the sources of
revenue from rents, issues and profits.
but the company derived a great rev
enue from the sale of lands made val
liable by the canal. The plaintiffs OBJ
jected to this as being not a revenue
from rents, issues or profits.
Mr.. Rowe insisted that it was a proht
and the principal source Of revenue. he
said the bondholders have a mortgage
on the property for one quarter of a
million, which loan is to draw interest
at per cent, but by agreement, no in
terest would be collected for three
years. The three years would expire
next July. The rents, issues and profits
of the concern would not equal the in
terest, unless the sale of lands could be
figured in.
After the examination and a brief
REORGANIZATION OF Mr.. Rowe, the
Plaintiff rested, and court adjourned
until evening. In the evening the de-
PENDANTS put on the city recorder, TO
testify, and show by the records that
the city had, at various times and in
various ways, recognized the water
works company as the legally organ
lied company, In the arguments the
plaintiff contended that the city had an
interest in the waterworks company, 1t
having never passed out of their poses
SIGN. One ground is that the city coun-
ell originally had no rlSht TO dispose Oh
the franchise, and that even If they
had tie right, they should have done
so by ordinance and not by resolution,
as they did do. 1t was further con-
te nded that the company has no right

and several other points We're brought
up TO show that the city had an inter

ceiver. About IL o'clock the court ad-
journed, and the arguments are to be
continued az 1870 this evening.

A COSTLY WEDDING.
Colorado Couple Married Last Week
at Price.

at Price.
Emery County Pioneer: On Tuesday
of last week there occurred at the Clark
House, Price, a wedding which was
somewhat out of the ordinary. The
bride was Mrs. Alice Shinneman of Saw
Pit, Colo, and the groom Mr.. c. W.
King of the same place. The ceremony
was performed by Justice Olsen, in the
presence of a number of the guests of
the hotel, the gentlemanly proprietors,
Messrs. Cotner and McKune, and the
housekeeper, Mrs. Miller, also gracing
the occasion with their presence. 1t
cost the couple $50 in railroad fare to
reach Price and return, which, together
with their other expenses, made the
ceremony cost them about $50. 1t ap-
pears the bride had only recently Sc
cured a divorce from her former hus-
band, and, according to the laws of
Colorado, she could not marry again
within year But love laughs at lock-
smiths and lawmakers, and Utah is not
as particular in regard to these matters
as her sister state. Therefore, a we'd
ding in Utah usually follows a divorce
in Colorado, and the coin of the realm
is kept in circulation.

WITHOUT PURSE or scR1r.
How Salt Lakers Entertained An
Elder Unawares.

Brigham, Jan. 9.-Today was the in
auguration of the home missionary
work among the Mutual Improvement
associations of this stake. Golden Kim
ball and James E. Hart, the latter lust
returned from the East Tennessee mis-
sion, were here to address the large
audience assembled at the tabernacle
this afternoon. The three elders who
are to undertake the work were upon
the stand. James Z. Hart, who is just
returning to his home in BLOOMINGTON
from his Tennessee mission was the
first speaker. His address was inter-
esting and instructive. At the latter
part he was speaking of the elders
travelling without purse or scrip, and
related how thinking Mormons should
be willing to do as they expect the peo-
pie to do by their elders.
First he called upon Bishop Hampton,
who keeps hotel, who has a barber shop
opposite the temple He told this gen
tleman he was minister of the gospel
from East Tennessee, and he believed.
as did the Saints, that ministers should
travel without purse or scrip, and he
had done so for Is years. OF Mr.. Hamp-
ton he wanted a nights entertainment.

Then he went to Henry Dinwoodey and
after telling the same story, asked for
enough 10 pay railroad fare to Brig

$3.50. Next he tried Manager Weber
of the Z. c. NJ. / for a pair of shoes.
which he got. He called on John Davis
to get his watch fixed, and on Fred
Clawson for dental work All of these
gentlemen had responded in a hearty
manner to his requests. Afterwards he
had told them who he really was, and
the object of his visit, and offered to
pay for work and articles But with
one accord they refused and insisted on
giving the work and articles to the re-
turned missionary, which they had do
mated TO the eastern minister of the
gospel.
Golden Kimball, in his original and
interesting style, spoke for an hour He
explained the object and manner of the
work that is now being undertaken by
these travelling elders at home. Stated
that there were 200 names on the list
of young men in this stake who did not
attend the Improvement meetings. and
were drifting from the church. He gave
much good instruction to the Saints
and urged them to do all in their power
