JUDGE TIf11ONY ARBITRATES
THE CRAFT NOOLSEY CONFLICT

AT o'clock yesterday afternoon two
hacks drove UP to the door Of the old
city hall. and the rustic of skirts as the
occupants allghted created a fuFore such
as court habit do not often expert
ence. THE leading ladies' have ar
rived was whispered about the neigh
borhooi, and great Gnultitudes gathered.
Soon after the gavel fell, and at the
call of his honor. Mrs. Woolsey, who
resides in the rear Of the Board of
Trade building. arose and pleaded gull
ty TO saying mean things to Mrs. Craft,
her nearest neighbour. But the latter
lady wanted to be heard. She avowed
that Mrs. Woolsey had on divers occa-
sions challenged the Craft family to
single combat either under the front
steps or in the coalshed, at midnight or
early noon.
Mrs. Woolsey, the accused lady, ex-
planned that she had quite by accident
thrown a can of water on Mrs. C.'s
clothes line, and whsn Mrs. c. seemed
displease1. Mrs. Wooisey condescend-
ingly volunteered 90 move her clothes
line from the neighborhoOd. But the
knife got tangled I'D and severed the
Craft clothes line, and with a. sickening
thud the laundry alighted in the dust.
Mrs. Craft took in the situation, prac-
tically enough, and brought a bucket
of water to the scene, scattering 1t over
the fallen clothes and Mrs. Woolsey.
Mrs. Woolsey misunderstood the mo-
tive, and whaled away at Mrs. Craft
with a No. f1atiron, just as the daugh
ter. Nettie Woolsey, appeared and eff
fectively applied the business end of a
broom to Mrs. Crafts Uranium. This,
in brief, was the story cleaned from the
testimony.
Judge Timmony talked a. few minutes
about neighbor worship and peace and
harmony, very appropriate subjects for
the occasion, and discharged Mrs.
Woolsey. Ii
But Nettie had put her foot in it. toe
The story had to be told again, as Mrs.
Craft alleged that the daughter and
the broom had been altogether too
prominent on the occasion named. All
of which Nettie admitted, including the
painfully apparent truth that Mrs. g.
optic had been the object of the Ire OF
the woman of the broom. The eye
was introduced in evidence. Nettie
said she had to protect mamma from

The board Of regents Of the state
university met yesterday afternoon to
consider the bids submitted on the 18th
of last month for the erection of four
new buildings. The whole afternoon
was taken UP with the work, which
resulted in awarding the contracts for
the library, normal and physical
buildings to w. H. Roney of this city.
The bids for the museum building
and heating plant were not considered,
the former for the reason that the
board wishes to first see how its funds
will hold out and the latter for the
reason that a new scheme of hot water
heating, which has recently been called
to the boards attention, is to be in
vestigated, with a hope that it will
prove more economical and cheaper to
put in than steam.
Roney's Bid Lowest.
Among the bids received, those of
W. H. Roney and Gundfor & Atkinson
were the lowest, and while the latter
might have got the contract on the
physical building, had it been deemed
wise to segregate the work, the aggre-
gate bid of Mr.. Roney was the lowest,
and the contract for the three struc-
lures was therefore awarded to him.
Gundfor & Atkinson's bids were as
follows: Library, $3.50: normal, $44,-
740; physical, $S4,S Total $117.54O.
W. H. Roney's figures were: Library,
$50; normal, s44, 465; physical, $780,
4S7 Total, S116,S31.
1t was the intention, Secretary Allen
said after the meeting, to have work
commenced Just as soon as possible,
and if it was found next spring that
sufficient money would be on hand to
do so, the work of erecting the museum
building would be started and carried
forward as far as possible, with the
hope that the next legislature would
be generous enough to make an ap-
preparation to complete 1t.
Might Have Saved Money.
He said that had the work been con-
tracted early last spring, before the
great rise in building materials took
place, a saving of from Is to 20 per
cent would undoubtedly have been
made.
Regarding the steam heating plant,
he said that if steam was used a ser
les of tunnels would have been run to
connect the different structures with
the plant and as this would be very
expensive work and as the board had
been advised to look into a new scheme
of hot water heating which would do
away entirely with tunneling, the
board had decided TO thoroughly in
yestigate it before awarding a con-
tract for the heating plant.

OPIUM D|VE-EEEPER'S SENTENCE
ToKE WAH JAILED FOR THIRTY
DAYS.
VIII Also Pay a Fine of s1oo-one
of Victims Testified Against
Him.

Toxic ,Wah. the proprietor Of a Plum
alley opium joint, was yesterday SEN
fenced to pay a fine of 500 and be con-
fined in the city Jail thirty days for
selling hop to Tom Hill, 15-year-old
boy. Young Hill was seen in the place
late Sunday night by Officer Palmer,
and the proprietor was later arrested.
1t was considered doubtful at first
whether Wah could be convicted, but
the young man appeared against him,
in accordance with his promise to the
police.
Wah pleaded not guilty to conduct
ing an opium dive. Hill said he went
into the place last night and when Of
fered. a pipe by Wah, whom he knew
very well, he rolled a pill and smoked
it. With reluctance, the boy admitted
that he had done the same thing on
other occasions.
The Chinaman denied the assertions
of the boy, but Officer Palmer's testi-
mony that Hill was half under the
influence Of the drug when arrested
completed the case.

SORROW AT JOINT BUILDING
OVER GEORGE SWAN.
Funeral Services to Be Conducted at
1 O'Clock This Afternoon From
Fifteenth Ward Meeting House.

A big crepe rosette on the north door
of the joint building. another on the
door of the dead city auditors office
and the flag at half-mast over all gave
the joint building an appearance Of
mourning yesterday. The mourning
was not all on the surface, either, for
the men who worked with George
swan were sincerely attached to him.
and all deeply grieved over his sudden
death.
There were many comments on the
dead mans life and character, and all
were of a complimentary character. 1T
made no difference to him. said Coun-
Gilman John Siddoway, whether man
wore a starched shirt or one made out
of blue flannel. He didn't care if a,
mans hands showed the CRIME and cal
lousness of hard work. All were treat
ed by him with the same courteous at
tention and regard.
There wasn't the hilarity around the
city end of the building yesterday that
is ordinarily there. The death. of Mr..
Swan had SOLDERING effect on all of.
his former co-workers and they willing
ly paid to his memory this tribute of
respect.
Arrangements for the dead auditors
funeral have about been completed.
The services will be conducted at /

Logan. Oct. 1.-THE local man of the
Tribune INDUCES in a lot of wild political
talk in today's paper. He lays special
ance in the Democratic party swhen as a
matter of fact not the slightest incident
mas yet occurred which would indicate
anything but complete harmony in the
ranks or the local Democracy. The as
sertion of the Tribune is, however, in
exact keeping with the policy that has
been mapped out by the local g. o. p. lead
ers. Having the best of reasons for be-
lieving q Republican victory Impossible
with united Democracy to confront
they are individually and collectively en-
gagged IN senseless attempt to stir up
ascension In their opponents ranks. One
thing in the Tribune mans letter that
gives an linking of the truth, is his plea
for the salaries being kept at the pre- mt
low figure. the Republican party has no
idea of winning. hence desires low salar-
les: Had they a prospect of electing their
ticket, salaries wouldn't be mentioned
The only administration that party ever
gave. Logan cost the taxpayers more than
double what 1t now costs them in salaries
alone, while other expenses have been
likewise reduced under Democratic rule
There is absolutely no sign of any fight
being made IN the Democratic party. and
whether f.. r. Martineau, Seth Langton
or 31yrum Haylfoles as the Tribune calls
him, Is nominated he will have the UNI
divided support of his party. and the
prospects are that the Democrats will
carry the entire head Of the ticket and
six. If not eight, Of the ten councilmen.

Supreme Court Says cuplt Should
Have Judgment.
PARK CITY BANK CASE
FINDING OF TRIAL COURT Or
DERED REVERSED.
A. B. Richardson Had No Power to
Assign the Assets of the Bank to
Receiver-Cupit Made Deposit
After Institution Was Known to
Be Insolvent

An opinion was handed down yester-
day in the supreme court in the case
of Thomas Cupit plaintiff and appel
liant against the Park City bank and
David C. Mclaughlin, receiver, de-
PENDANTS and respondents. The assign
ment made by the bank to Mclaughlin
was declared void as to Cupit and his
lien for So, 921-11 on the bank building
and real estate was hello to be good.
The judgment of the lower court was
reversed.
On June y, 1898, A B. Richardson,
acting for the bank as its vice presi-
dent, but without the knowledge or
authority &C the board of directors,
made a general assignment with Edwin
KiInball as assignee, of all property
owned by the bank, for the benefit of
its creditors. The assignee qualified
and took possession. He died. Oct. l3.
of the same year and D. c. McLaugh-
lin was appointed receiver as the re-
suit of suit brought by one of the
creditors.
Indebted tc the Bank.
At the time Of the assignment Rich
ardson was indebted to the bank joint
ly with Jerry NJ. Richardson on an
overdraft for more than $4,000. On
=
signment was made, a special meeting
of the directors was held and the
action of the vice president was rati-
fled. The record shows that one of the
directors had no notice. of the meeting
and is silent as to another.
July Il, 1S93 CupIt sued to recover
s5,92111 OF this amount 81, 900 was de-
posted in the bank Just seven days
before the assignment "snd when it
was known" says the court, that the
corporation was insolvent." He Sc
cured q judgment but Mclaughlin as
receiver got an order Aug. 90 1896.
restraining the sheriff from proceeding
with q sale of the property under exc
cGtion.
Judgment Against Plaintiff.
Nov. Is, 1897. the plaintiff filed suit
asking that the judgment be declared
-'oid as TO him. The judgment of the
lower court was against the plaintiff.
The supreme court finds that A. B.
Richardson was indebted to the bank
to a greater amount than $4,000 with
out security and therefore, under the
state laws, he could not act as vice
president or director. Consequently
the assignment made by him was in
valid.
Neither could it be ratified by the
directors for with Richardson's office
vacant there wasn't a quorum present
at the meeting when this action was
taken. The court now orders that the
property in question be released from
the receivership and sold to satisfy
Cupit's judgment lien. The opinion
was written by District Judge Nc
Carthy and concurred in by Justices
Basl1in and Miner.
