Praise For Batterymen.
General Funston spoke with great
enthusiasm of the Utah battery boys
There was not an organization sent
out that didn't have more or less
worthless truck in them except the
Utah batteries. In them every man
distinguished himself and every man
was a hero. They were scattered
through many brigades. but were
everywhere favorites. The prevailing
idea with others was to save ammuni-
ton and shoot only as a last resort.
Orders would be sent in for one shot.
The Utah boys would send in for all
the ammunition on hand: they would
blaze away whenever a rebel head APP
peared. Their officers believed in econ
omizing in the lives of their men, not
ammunition"

COUNTY WARRANT INTEREST.
Treasurer Not Liable For Excess Over
Eight Per Cent.

! According to a decision rendered by
Judge Cherry yesterday the county
| treasurer is not liable for the difference
| between per cent and s per cent in
! terest paid in redemption of county
! warrants when the interest bearing
warrants appeared to be regularly
drawn and duly presented for payment.
The decision was in the case of George
Gattrell against County Treasurer
Lynch. The plaintiff, representing Rus
sell L. Tracy, sued to require the treas
urer to account at s per cent interest for
such sums that were paid as interest
on warrants redeemed instead of at 8
per cent. Reliance was placed by plain
tiff in the decision of the supreme court
that until Jan. 5, 1896. there was no
warrant of law for paying any interest
on county warrants not redeemed at
sight, and then only at per cent.
Plaintiffs principal had been refused
more than 5 per cent interest on war
rants issued prior to the date named,
which, however, upon their face called
for 8 per cent.
Answering the complaint defendant
set up that the pei cen! interest clause
was inserted in county warrants by a
decision of Judge Zane in the case of J.
H. Bowman VS.. the county long prior
to June, 1896. 1t was also pleaded that
the county commissioners and the
treasurer acted in good faith in pur-
suance of this judgment, and therefore
the treasurer was not liable for any
excess over per cent paid out for in
terest.
Plaintiff demurred to this answer, but
yesterday Judge Cherry overruled the
demurrer Refusing time in which to
amend. the court gave judgment upon
the pleadings to defendant for his costs.
1t is now probable that the plaintiff
will appeal to the supreme court for an
affirmation of its former decision or a
modification in harmony with Judge
Zane's ruling when he was on the
bench. When the supreme court ruled
upon this question of county warrant
interest Judge Zane was a member of
the higher bench and concurred in the
opinion delivered.

Niagara Company Must Pay Claim

MRS. HAUN LOSES SUIT
TREASURER NOT LIABLE FOR
EXCESS INTEREST PAID.
Attorney Taylor Sues North Point
Canal Company For Big Fees-Al-
legation That Constable Took
Wrong Sheep-Three Suits Dis.
acknowledgement By Default.

The supreme court yesterday affirmed
the decision of the lower court in
awarding judgment to John Wall in his
suit against the Niagara Mining &
Smelling company. 1t appeared from
the record that the plaintiff had sued
to recover from defendant company the
sum of $1,000, which. under a written
contract, duly executed by Peter A. H.
Franklin, president of the company,
was to be paid TO plaintiff out of the
proceeds of treasury stock sold for the
conveyance of certain mining property
in Custer county, Idaho, to the COM
pany.
An appeal was taken by defendant
from the lower courts judgment on the
ground that defendant excerpts to
each Of the instructions given by the
court, and also excerpts to the refusal of
the court to give instructions requested
by defendant Commenting upon this
point, the supreme court holds that
such exceptions are too general to be
considered.
Appellant contended that the execu-
ton of the purchase contract with
plaintiff was in the nature of a promo
ton of the company, and therefore the
corporation was not liable to be bound
by the agreement. The opinion states
that the court has no sympathy with
contention that a corporation upon
complete organization might accept Il
contract of the kind stated and receives
the benefits hereunder without liabil
ity for it's burdens.
The opinion finds that the appellant
profited by the contract made with
Wall. and therefore cannot evade re-
sponsibility Hereunder. since the pro-
meters of the company, in the role of
incorporators, accepted the contract to
buy the properties from plaintiff at an
agreed price. The opinion also finds
that neither Franklin nor his associ-
ate, Palen, paid anything for their stock
in the company, and have therefore no
right, either legally or morally, to OBJ
ject to the payment of Wallis claim,
which arose from a valid and equitable
contract

General Fred Funston, the Kansas
fighter, has come and gone. He stopped
between trains yesterday on his way
TO Manila. He reached town at 10:15
on the westbound Rio Grande Western,
accompanied by his wife, Lieutenant
B. j. Mitchell, Fortieth volunteer in
fantry, who is one of General Funston's
aides, and United States Marshal Glen
Miller, who met the party at Provo.
On leaving the train the party, in
Guiding Mrs. Ritchie and Mrs. Glen
MILLER, was driven TO the tabernacle,
where there was to have been music,
but wasn't, owing to a misunderstood
ing. The next stop was at the ONCE
of Governor Wells. where the visitors
were introduced to the governor, the
members of the supreme court and the
board of pardons. A rapid drive was
then made to the Alta club, where a
brief and informal reception was held
and a light lunch served.
The generals greeting to- the boys he
had known in the Philippines was es-
pecially hearty. After the reception the
party was driven to Capitol hill, ana

der county, was yesterday made de-
PENDANT in an action for divorce COM
menced by his wife. Mary NJ. Chad

RELATIONS WERE PLEASANT.
Nothing Unkind Between w. F. Mel
son and His Wife.

Mrs. W. F. Nelson wishes the public
to understand that the relations between
herself and her husband who was found
dead in his bed several days ago. were of
the happiest character. The last letter
written by the dead man was to his wife
and it was couched in the most affec-
tiorate terms.
On his return here from Ogden on We'd
nesday the first thing he did was to sit
down and write to Mrs. Nelson who had
been left with her little daughter in the
Junction City to visit relatives. Mr.. Nell
son wrote of his loneliness without his
family, and of his eager desire to see his
wife again soon. The last sentence spoke
of his intention to be at the station to
meet Mrs. Nelson on her return.

Price, Utah, Nov. G.3The Swift
Packing company sheep syndicate is
long on sheep and short on range. and
to help feed 1,250,00o stock stuff they
now have on the ranges in Utah, Ne
vada, wyoming and Idaho it is now
after the grazing privileges on the Uin-
tab and Uncompahgre reservations in
eastern Utah, where they propose, if
successful, TO put upon the range at an
early date no less than zoo, 900 breeding
ewes.
Two agents of the syndicate went
through here the other day en- route to
White Rocks agency, where an inter-
view was had with Indian Agent Ny
ton and also leading men of the two In
dian tribes, who, until the killing there
the other day of Mountain Sheep, an
Ouray leader, by a sheepherder named
Olsen, are said TO have looked with IA
Vor upon the scheme. Now that trouble
has arisen over the sheep already on the
reservation, the plans of the Swift syn
dictate may not have the smooth sailing
they did before.
A Big Range.
There are some 100000 acres of graz
ing land on the two reservations, and
heretofore these lands have been leased,
or at least she greater portion of them,
10 the Strawberry Cattle company, but
under this lease the sheepmen were
barred. and now that the grazing is
open TO sheep herds, the cattlemen ar
que that they cannot afford TO bid up

can give It is arguec!that if this num-
Der of sheep are aS>wed to roam the
mountains and valleys fer five years the
range Will never recuperate from it, to
say nothing of the increase from the
year.
Indian Agent Myton is believed to
favor the lease to the Swift syndicate
as being most favorable TO the Indians
from the point of revenue. while the
cattlemen and others who can see
ahead say that when the reservation is
finally thrown open there will be no

go there after. Considerable pressure
is being brought TO bear ON both sides,
and the fight promises to be a bitterly
contested one. Ex-senator Brown has
been retained by the syndicate to look
after its interests, and it is said he has
made at least one trip to Washington
with this object in view.
Small Owners Opposed.
The small sheep owners of this sec
ton of the state are fighting the pro-
posed lease to the syndicate. They see
in it that they are TO be driven off the
range, and will have to take their herds
out of this section if the deal goes
through. They say the Swift syndicate
has been driven out of the Middle Park
of Colorado, where it attempted a gil
gantic land steal, and if it is allowed
to get foothold in eastern Utah it will
only be a matter of time until they are
forced 20 leave the country. They are
also al work in Washington, and the
result is being watched from here with
unusual interest
