JUDGE HoWAT AS WITNESS
Counsel Permits Himself 10 be Intercepted
During Trial,
Suit Finally Dismissed for Want OF
Jurisdiction MAY NowTry
Davis County

After the impanellng Of jury, the
making OF opening statements by coun-
sell on either side and the examination
and cross-examination Of the plaintin,
Judge Cherry at noon today dismissed
without prejudice the 5000 damage
suit Of ]. II. Roth vs. the Rio Grande
Western Railway company, for want Of
Jurisdiction.
Roth, who Is a travelling salesman
representing a St. Louis house, alleged
In his complaint that on June 6 last
he was passenger on one Of the de-
fendant oompany's trains running from
ogden TO Salt Lake. lie became in
YOlyed In a wOrdy war with a Pullman
porter, when the latter, without provo
cation, beat him over the head with
a club. The cclored man being a SER
want OF the railroad company plaintiff
sued the Western FOR the injuries re-
eelyed.
The defense denied that Gleason was
It's servant, and alleged that he was
IN the employ Of the Pullman company.
the quarrel between Roth and the
"colored gemmen" was a purely per-
sonal affair that II plaintiff got hurt
1t was because he had undertaken to
call Mistah Gleason vile names, as well
as to assault him.
In making the opening statement for
the defense Judge H0wat caused the
jurors Go smile when he said This Is a
case where a colored man calls Jew
a Jew, and the jew got mad, and the
Jew called the colored man niger and
the niger got mad too.
Roth took the stand this morning and
related what occurred between him and
Gleason on the train, Judge Howat
cross examined the witness and created
no end of amusement for the jurors and
spectators.
Counsel would ask Roth a question
and the plaintiff would reply by asking
Judge Howat question. Judge Tiowat
was the more willing witness OF the
two. He answered all OF Roths ques-
tons, but the latter objected to quite
a few of those propounded by counsel
After Roth had been excused from
the witness stand Judge Howat called
Gleason for the purpose OF finding out
whore ab0uts the alleged assault took
place. Gleason said the scrap took
place between Layton and Pennington,
Judge Howat then called Attorney Par
ley l.. Williams and proved by him that
the country between the two places
named was in Davis county. Judge
Howat then moved for a dismissal OF
the case for the want of jurisdiction.
The court granted the motion and the
suit was dismissed, but without pr ju-
dice
Attorneys ID. S Truman and James
A. Williams, Roths legal representa-
tives, will now bring suit in Davis
No one outside OF Gleason
seems to have known when the assault
took place. Roth being a stranger, was
unable 10 say, but he thought il was
near this city, and Of course
his attorneys concluded 1t was in Salt
Lake county,

AMERICAN INTERESTS IN SOUTH
AFRICA.

The war In South Africa will cause n
loss Of millions OF dollars TO American
manufacturers. whose commercial re-
latlons with that country have been
steadily growing In volume for many
years. Ever since the tension between
the two governments began the bust
ness has been decreasing. and since war
was declared II has practically sus-
pended. Even II the war should con-
tinue only six months, and IL may not
end FOR a year. II VIII require another
year for business relations to be firmly
re-established so that American manu-
faoturers win lose a years volume OF
trade, at the very least, because two
diplomats were unable 10 agree. Amer
ica's trade with South Africa last year
was estimated at about $4,000 900, and
before the British demands were made
the indications were that the United
States would this year draw fully si0,-
10000 more. Naturally, the British
army will require great quantities Of
canned meats and provisions In this
war; but as these necessities were pur-
chased here In times OF peace, no great
increase IN the volume OF business can
be expected from that source.--Collier's

and auctloned off by several young
men Of the ward, the audience bidding
without the slightest knowledge as TO

were very amusing. Bids ranged from
10 cents TO 81, and many Of the articles
were OF solid value; such as sacks OF

poor fund was swelled to the extent OF
