SANPETE FORTUNE AT STAKE
CHRISTENSEN CASE GOES TC
U. S. SUPREME COURT.
Contest of the First Wife's Heirs For
An Estate Valued at 1000
Other Appeals.

Several important cases recently de-
taken for final adjudication to the SUI
prene court of the United States.
OF these, one of the most noted is
the Harmon Christensen estate case.
Christensen was a Sanpete COUNTY pio-
neer and left an estate valued at over
$4,000 His wife, Hannah Christensen,
who came across the plains with him.
he divorced in the early days. She went
insane afterwards, and when Christen-
son died, her brother sued the eXecu
tors to secure her dover interest. A
second marriage of Mrs. Christensen
was alleged by the executors as a de-
Tense. In the lower court Mrs. Chris
tensions representatives won the case,
but the decision of the lower tribunal
was reversed last year by the supreme
court. Now the case is TO be taken to
the supreme court of the United States
by the attorneys of Mrs. Christenson's
relatives, Rawlins, Thurman, Hurd &
Wedgwood.
The case of the state VS.. Mckee is
TO be taken, to the United States SUI
preme court for adjudication as to the
constitutionality of the eight-juror
law, so frequently questioned and so
variously decided.
The Rabbits Foot case and that of
the state VS.. Joseph r. Morris, both of
which have been discussed at length
in The Herald. are both to be taken
to the United States supreme court, as
previously announced
1t is quite likely that the matter of
Wilson VS.. the Triumph Consolidated
Mining company will be taken up also.
This suit involves the possession of the
Steeple Chase claim at Tintic, which
is claimed by the Triumph company.
That claim was allowed by the supreme
court. and attorneys for the plaintiff
expect to take the case to the United
States supreme court.

TRUST DEED CASE.
Injunction issued Restraining Sale
of Certain Property.

Alex G. Robertson has brought suit
in the Third district against w. w.
Wells, Z. w. Wilson and Glen Miller, to
restrain them from selling certain prop
erty on Willow creek, southeast of the
city. The complaint states that Niels
Hanson and wife executed a deed of
trust to the property to the defend
ants in 1885, and that since that time
the Hansens had fully paid up their
Indebtedness and the deed was duly re-
leased. Robertson then bought the
property from the Hansens, paying
81, 262 for it. But Notwithstanding these
facts, says the complaint. the defend
ants have advertised the lands for sale
and claim that the trust deed was not
released.
Plaintiff asks that the defendants he
restrained from selling the property,
and that they be debarred from as
sorting any claim to it.
Judge Hiles ordered the issuance of
a temporary restraining order return
able May Goth.
Marshall, Royle & Hampstead are
plaintiffs attorneys.

But there are four candidates for the
position of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. These
are NJ. ]. Geiger of Butte. w. ]. Walker

Wiley of Cripple Creek. These men
are not making a strong canvass for

and are known as delegates who would
not be unwilling to take it. 1t is I'M
possible TO make prediction about the
election, though probably Walker and
McPhee are more often spoken of than
any others.
Other officers to be elected are the
vice-president and five members of the
executive board. For these positions
there has been no contest at all, and
no names are mentioned. 1t is likely,
however, that there will be many NOM

RESTAURANT MAN MISSING.
Thomas Morton Disappears From
Silver City, Leaving Creditors.

Especial Correspondence
Silver City. May 12-Thomas Norton,
who has been conducting the Silver City
Restaurant for six months past, is be-
lieved to have absconded to parts I'M
known, leaving a long list of Borrowing
creditors behind. He started ostensibly
for Eureka yesterday TO purchase coal
and on his failure to return last evening
suspicion was aroused and an investiga-
ton revealed the fact that he had col
lected about 500 due from miners, and
sent his wife ahead by train to Ogden.
He is indebted to local tradesmen TO the
extent of over $1,000 and it is also stated
he has accounts with two Salt Lake firms
which will swell the amount about $500
more. These amounts are exclusive of
500 due his help. His books. which. of
course. cannot be relied upon, show sums
due from miners aggregating $500. These,
with his stock, constitute all the avail
able assets.
Attachments were issued this morning
at the instigation of the creditors. Tele-
grams have been sent to the surrounding
towns, but at this writing nothing has
been heard of him.
