LAWRENCE DENIES.
Defendant In Suit Brought By Irvine
Explains.

Last month w. H. Irvine sued w. j.
Lawrence to recover $1,761.S0 alleged to
be due on a primissory note of s2,415.70
and for damages in the sum of 81, OIL SO
by reason Of defendant refus ng to
abide by the terms of an agreement to
sell within year from June 8, 1898,
10000 shares of Star Consolidated min
ing stock at 80 cents a share.
Yesterday the defendant, Lawrence,
by his attorneys, Bennett, Hardness,
Howat, Bradley & Richards, filed his
answer to plaintiffs complaint The
answer denies all material allegation
of plaintiff and sets up a counter claim
of $1,166.20, which is alleged to be due
on account of overpayment of the
note, which was secured by 1866 shares
of the Stock valued at rs cents a share,
instead of 90 cents, on May 10 last.
By way of plea for affirmative relief
the defendant alleges that the option
given for the sale Of the 10000 shares
was not binding. and in consequence
he notified Irvine of his withdrawal of
it before date of expiration. The eXecu-
ton of the note is admitted, but it is set
up that on May 10, the date of with
drawal of the option, the defendant
rendered payment of the amount due
on the note, but plaintiff refused to
accept. Defendant denies that the
stock was worth 1914 cents a share or
more than 75 cents on May 10 last, or
that plaintiff has been damaged in
any sum whatever.

A DAYLIGHT BURGLARY.
Salt Lake & Los Angeles Engine
Shed Looted.

Between the hours of and 10 yes
| terday morning burglars entered the
| engine shed of the Salt Lake & Los
Angeles railway at Tenth West and
South Temple streets and fflcled a $50
box of taps and dies, and a pair of
trousers, overhauls, and cap belonging
to John Little, the engine wiper and
nfghtwatchman. j. E. Langford,
superintendent of the salt mill at Salt
air, discovered the loss at 10 O'Clock
and notified the officials and police
headquarters at once.
The thieves took every precaution to
prevent being disturbed or apprehend-

supreme within the shed.
The shed houses the large locomotive
that operates between the city and
Saltair beach in the season; there is
no Waterman on duty during the day
between a. m. and 6 p. M, and it
would require only a limited amount of
nerve and knowledge of machinery to
break in most any day and strip the
locomotive of the most valuable things
on it. The officials of the road can
give no clue to the identity of the
thieves

Question OF University Boards Au-
thority to Let Contracts.
EARLY DECISION BY HILES
DEFENDANTS SIDE OF IRVINE.
LAWRANcE CONTROVERSY.
Utah Federation of Labor Urges the
Injunction so That Local Bidders
May Get Contract For One of the
University's Buildings-one Case
In Supreme Court.

The right of the Utah university
regents to award a contract for the
erection of the physical science, library
and normal buildings to w. H. Roney
of Chicago, whose bid for all three
structures was the lowest of any sub
mitted was discussed yesterday be-
fore Judge Hiles. The case was sub
mitted and his honor promised to
render an early decision so that the
regents may not be delayed in letting
contracts or calling for new bids.
The applicants for an order restrain
ing the board of regents from con-
tracing with Roney, to the exclusion
of Grundfor & Atkinson, local builders,
are Thomas Morris, Alfred Brown, G..
H. Rampsoerger and J. H. Britain,
representing the Utah Federation Of
Labor. Their contentious that the
board of regents is without authority
to let contracts to Roney for all three
buildings in a lump when Grundfor &
Atkinson proposed to erect the physf-
cal science building for 1857 less than
the Chicago man proposed, were advo-
Gated by James H. Moyle and d. II.
Wells. Attorneys Frank Pierce and
Waldemar Van Cott, members of the
board, and Senator j. L. Rawlins
argued and cited authorities to sustain
the action of the regents.
The hearing was on a simple de-
murrer to the petition for an iniunc-
ton, and only the legal aspect of the
question was discussed.
For all three buildings Roney's bio
of $116,S31 is 500 lower than Grundfor
& Atkinsons, but the latter's bid ON
the physical science building is lower
by 1857 than Roney's. The regents
claim they have authority under the
law to exercise the option of con-
tracing for all or any one of the build
ings TO one bidder or to several, but
that it is to the interest of the state
to accept Roney's lump bid. The
labor federation resists this conHen-
tim.

Want a Third Ticket.
Especial Correspondence

Ephrainl Oct. 20.-The municipal politi-
cal situation in this city is becoming very
much mixed. The Democrats and Re-
publieans each have tickets in the field,
but still great many people are dis
satisfied. Knives are out for many of
the candidates on both tickets, and whole
sale slashing is promised on election day.
An effort is being made to get the dis
satisfied elements of both parties together
to nominate q citizens ticket, but it is
doubtful whether it can be accomplished,
and if successful it is hardly probable
that the combination can agree upon a
set of candidates that viii be satisfac-
tory to all of them.
There is another element that proposes
to select the best men on both tickets
and work for their election. In fact, there
are two crowds that will adopt this
method and each select different men as
the best timber for councilmen.
