NEW ADMINISTRATION NAMED
ORDER MADE IN MILNER ES-
TATE CONTROVERSY.
Letters of John Miner Revoked and
Utah Savings &c Trust Company
Appointed.

Judge Hiles revoked letters of adj
minstration of John Miner in the es-
tate of his son, Charles W. Miner, and
gave him ten days to file a report of
his work But there was an agreement
in the matter, for Mr.. Miner had re-
signed.
In his stead the Utah Savings & Trust
company will act as administrator.
The conflict in the case has to this
extent been compromised. The chief
difficulty arises over the ownership of
5000 shares of Dexter Gold Mining
company stock, which is now quoted
at $2.03 per share.
Some time ago S. B. Miner, brother
of the deceased, who is trustee for the
shares, made an offer of 500 of them
to the estate, but Attorney w. r.
Hutchinson refused to accept. The es-
tate claims ownership of the whole
amount. S. B. Miner has been trus-
tee for some time. He maintains that
the estate of his brother owns half of
the 1850 shares, and the remainder
are owned by his friends and relatives.
w. r. Hutchinson appeared for the
minor heirs of the estate, by James, e.
McGinnis. guardian, and Booth, Lee &
Richie and c. w. More appeared for
John and S. b. Miner.

F|REMEN ARE TURNED DOWN
NOT ENTITLED TO THEIR BACK
SALARIES.
Supreme Court Decides That Their
Status Is Not the Same as That
of the Police.

The four firemen, Amos Moreton, 7.
J. Mcdonnell, o. j. Johnson and d.
w. Mcqueen, who sued for back ssala-
ries, did not fare so we'll as the police
men who had similar suit. The SUI
preme court yesterday rendered a de-
cision in which their claim was dissil-
lowed. The court finds a distinction
between the law governing the police
men and firemen.
They wanted $3.50 for salaries from
the middle of May to Dec. I, of 1898.
They had asked the lower court for
a writ compelling City Auditor Swan
to issue warrants and Judge Cherry
granted the writ. But he is reversed
by the supreme court.
The court, in its opinion, written by
by Justices Miner and Basllin, said:
THE point is whether the revised stat
utes which took effect Jan. 1, 1898, EN-
powered the municipality of Salt Lake
to organize and support a fire depart
ment, or whether the act of 1894, as re-
enacted in 1896, was still in force as to
the firemen at the time of the removal
of the petitioner, Moreton, and his as
signors."
The court holds that the provisions
of the acts Of 1894 and 1896 relating to
the fire department, were repealed by
the act of 1898. Consequently, thereaf-
ter the city council had the power to
pass an ordinance and to remove the
four firemen. The decision directs the
lower court to set aside the Judgment
and TO deny the writ

DOMESTIC INELICITY.
Sensational Allegations Made By
Mrs. M. L. Barnes.

Just before his departure from this
city last evening, Simpson L. Barnes, a
Rio Grande Western train dispatcher,
was made defendant in an action for
divorce commenced by his wife, Mary
L. Barnes. According to the complaint
filed by Attorney p. P. Christensen in
the district clerks Office, the husband
is charged with sundry acts of cruelty
toward his spouse.
Specifically, the complaint charges
that on the 14th inst. the defendant
called her a prostitute, and applied
other vile epithets to her. He also, it is
alleged, falsely charged her with crimi-
nal intimacy with various male ac-
quaintances, assaulted and choked her.
tore off her clothes, threw her down
and drew loaded gun and threatened
to take her life.
The plaintiff alleges that they were
married at Dorchester, Neb., July .,
1881, and that two children, Fred, aged
10, and Carl. aged y, are the issue of
said marriage.
Mrs. Barnes prays the court for a
decree of divorce, permanent alimony
in the sum of S15 a month, and the Gus
tody of her two sons.
1t was learned last evening that Mr..
Barnes had evinced a willingness to
have judgment taken against him by
default, if some OF the serious allega-
tons be stricken from the complaint.

CONF PLANTS OF WIVES
Deputy Clerk Blair Holds a Divorce
Session.
MRS. REGGEL'S TESTIMONY
BELIEVED HER HUSBAND VIO-
LATED HIS vows.
Said 1t Was Currently Reported That
Mr.. Reggel Was Guilty of Serious
Offenses at Butte-Mrs. McBride's
Husband In the Penitentiary-
Four Gases Heard

Deputy County Clerk Blair did an ex-
tensive divorce business yesterday. He
listened to the tales of woe of four ILL
treated wives. The cases had been re-
ferred to him by Judge Hiles, and he
will make reports of the evidence with
his recommendations.
The first case was that of Mrs. Belle
Reggel against her husband, Sam Reg
gel, the we'll known gambler. She
charges adultery, and, unlike most de-
PENDANTS, the husband does not deny
the accusation.
The wife testified that her home was
in Salt Lake, and that she was married
go into questionable houses in Butte,
and it was said to her and commonly
reported that he had committed adul-
terry. She said that when he was con-
fronted with the evidence of his guilt,
he acknowledged ii. Mrs. Reggel said
that she had not lived with her hus-
band since the discovery of his infidel
ity. She did not know the name of
the woman with whom he had asso-
ciated. The wife's testimony was cor
roborated by other witnesses.
Attorney Morris Somner said that
should the divorce be granted, Mrs.
Reggel will assume her maiden name,
Belle Mower. Reggel made no defense.
Mrs. Matte A. Behrens, housekeeper
at the Knutsford, testified in her suit
for divorce against her husband, Henry
F. Behrens. She had lived here nine
years, and during that time her hus-
band had failed to support her, though
he had offered to take her back several
years ago. There We're no children as
the result of the marriage.
Husband Tn the Pen
Another divorce case heard bv Clerk
Blair was that of Alice a. Mcbride VS..
John j. Mcbride. Testimony was taken
in the office of Zane & Rogers yester-
day afternoon.
Mrs. Mcbride said that she was mar
ried at De Lamar, Ida, on May 81, 1894,
and that during the past two years she
had lived here. There were no chill
dren as result of the union.
What is the present address of your
husband?" asked Mr.. Blair.
THE penitentiary at Boise" answer
ed the plaintiff, with some feeling.
Mcbride was convicted of rape in
Owyhee county, Ida, in July, 1896. and
sentenced to the penitentiary for life.
Attorneys ROBBERS, for Mrs. Mcbride,
produced a certified copy of the record
of the court, showing the trial and con-
viction of Mcbride.
A fourth case was that of Augusta
KingsbuTy VS.. Solomon 7. Kingsbury,
for desertion and failure to support.
Mrs. Kingsbury testified that she
was married in Salt Lake on May IS,
1884. and that during the past three
months her husband had failed to pro-
vide for her. The testimony was cor
roborated by Mrs. Agnes Peterson, Mrs.
Kingsbury'S sister. Clerk Blair will
recommend that a divorce be granted.

Surplus of Money In the Salt Lake
Banks.
LOW RATES OF INTEREST
PLENTY OF CASH FOR LEGITI-
MATE INVESTMENT.
Big Increase In Clearings-Mer-
chants Report On Active Trade
Activity In Residence Building
Real Estate Market Quiet-Sales
on Third South.

General business has been more quiet
the past week, but the tone was never
better and the volume is far in excess
of previous years. The bitter exper-
fence of the past few years is now
proving a benefit by keeping business
within legitimate limits. Promoters of
wildcat schemes meet with little en-
coura cement The intrinsic worth of
any proposition must be more clearly
demonstrated than ever before to Sc
cure subscribers. There is a general de-
termination to build on the rock and
the water must be squeezed out of
every project before it floats in Salt
Lake City.
At the same time there never was SO
much money in this community seeking
safe investments at reasonable returns.
The action of the board of equaliza-
ton in Determining to tax bank de-
posits, with figures published in that
connection, bears out this statement.
The money market shows no material
change from last week. Call money is
abundant at per cent, and longtime
loans on good security are being placed
at lower rates of interest than ever be-
fore in the history of this city.
The bank clearings for yesterday
were $40O, 1884, as against 1921, 2Sl.1O for
the corresponding day of last year. The
clearings for the week were $2,1TS, 022.67,
as against 81, Sos, 1920 for the CORE
spending week last year. The heavy
increase is explained by some as east
ern exchange transferred from one To-
cal bank to another through the clear
ing house, and not representing actual
business. But as an offset to that there
is a large volume of banking business
that never goes through the clearing
house at all, and one of these factors
would fully balance the other. The in
crease in the bank clearings is there
fore a good index of the increase in
general business.
Local Stocks Active.
There was considerable activity in
local stocks during the week, the heay-
lest transfers being in Utah Sugar and
u. c. NJ. 1. The quotations on stand
ard stocks are as follows:

The question of a successor to Fran
els Armstrong as president of the Utah
Commercial & Savings bank is being
discussed. The election will take place
early next week.
Condition of Trade.
The hot weather of the last days of
the week greatly stimulated trade in
lighter summer fabrics, and merchants
in those lines report good business.
Collections are fair, as sheep raiSerS re-
ceived good prices for their wool and
the crop was a good one. The cold
weather has held cattle back, and they
are slower than usual in getting to
market and this fact makes collections
slow in some quarters. This is but
temporary.
Crop prospects have improved Won
derfully since last week. The cold
weather has been especially favorable
to wheat, and the prospect for that
crop is far better than a month ago.
The recent frosts did far less damage
than at first reported. All this has
given business an upward turn.
Building Activity.
Building in the city is undated. The
architects are hard at work. on plans
and specifications of buildings already
reported, and every one of them has
date future. 1t still remains true,
however, that the season seems des-
tined to pass without the erection of
any large business blocks, although the
Walker and Henderson buildings on
Second South and the Walker Bros.
building on Third South might fairly
be considered such.
Architect Dart reports 2. brick cot
tage for Mrs. Mary A. Craig on r and
First street, to cost $1,000; and an
eight-room brick cottage for George
H Wallace on Third and I to cost
81 1000 Work has commenced on both
of these.
Real Estate Quiet.
Real estate dealers report business
quiet in their line, and the record of
transfers confirms this. At the same
time there is much inquiry at all the
offices and genuine bargains find ready
takers. All dealers are afraid of boom
ing prices, and they have good cause
for fear. One long headed, we'll posted
business man said yesterday that prices
of outside property in Salt Lake were
as high as those on suburban property
I'm some parts of Philadelphia.
1t is a peculiar coincidence that the
three sales of any magnitude during
the week were made on the south side
of Third South. between Main and
West temple Inc nrSt OF these was
the Walker Bros purchase, already
reported: the second was the purchase
of the corner of West Temple and
Third South by E. B. Wicks. This was
n vacant lot, ninety-nine feet front on
Third South and ninety feet on West
Temple It was purchased from w Il.
Hubbard. who held It under an option
The price was $4,000. The third pur-
chase was by Z. B. Wicl1s also. It was
q LOT inst east of the one described
above. having a frontage of forty-nine
and one-half feet on Third South. and
a depth of 1e5 feet. The price of this
was $4,000. The general impression is
that Mr.. Wicks bought both pieces for
the Burlington syndicate.
