School Trustee Fight In Gunnison
Causes Bad Feeling.
Especial Correspondence

Gunnison. July 1.-THE election for
school trustee was duly held here yes
terday, and was hotly contested between
II. F. Kearnes. Mr.. Anderson received
a majority of all the votes cast, but
through some irregularity in the votes
cast for him. the present school board
declared Mr.. Kearnes duly elected. The
trustees took the ground that some of the
ballots cast for Anderson were Illegal
from the fact that they did not state the
length of time the candidate should hold
office. while some had only the name,
with no other designation as to what the
ballot was cast for. Mr.. Anderson )
friends are urging him to contest the right
of Mr., Kearnes to hold the Office.

UTAH COUNTY PRODUCTS.
In Extent Below the Average But

Especial Correspondence.J
Provo, July 12.-The crops of Utah coun-
ty this year will all fall below the aver
age. The most important, the cereals, are
reported to be fair, but the fruits are
lower than for many years. The wheat
crop, which is reported so poor in the
countries of the east. IS here the best
crop on the farm. On account of the late
spring the wheat crop will be little later
than is usual, but in the end it bids fair
to turn out a good crop. Next to the
wheat crop is the good crop of alfalfa
This too is late but the abundance of
water promises a big growth for the
happy farmers. Potatoes are better than
the average this year. Other grains are
fair: some come up TO the standard set
by wheat. some fall below.
The fruits farms are not so productive
this year as formerly. However. the
yield will be good considering the disad-
vantages of a late spring and unusual
frosts at time when the fruits should
have reached a growth far beyond what
they were. Strawberries lasted but a
short time and there were such a. few
that they never reached the low figure
that they sold at last year. Cherries too
are few and not at all representative of
the cherries that can be raised in this
section of the country Peaches, pears
and apples will be short There were a
great quantity of these fruits killed by
the frosts. and the yield will be proper
tiOnately small.

BUNTING LIFE INSURANCE.
Judge Hiles Denies Motion For a
New Trial.

Judge Hiles yesterday denied the
motion of the defendant for new trial
in the case of c. Z. Thum VS.. Daniel
WolStenholme.
Thum is receiver of the Bunting bank
at Blackfoot, Ida, and Wolstenholme
holds life insurance policy of Bunt-
ing, who is deceased, for $4,000. Some
time ago a judgment for the plaintiff
was rendered. Then it was held by the
court that the premiums on the policy
having been paid from funds of the
bank, it really belonged to it and not
to Wolstenholme, to whom it had been
transferred. When the bank failed and
Receiver Thum was appointed, he
claimed the policy as an asset of the
