R. G. W. SUIT DISMISSED.
Action Should Have Been Filed In
Davis.

After the jury had been impaneled,
the testimony for the plaintiff all taken
and two witnesses for the defense ex-
amined, Judge Cherry yesterday dis
missed the $1,000 damage suit of ]. H.
Roth VS.. Rio Grande Western Railway
company for want of jurisdiction.
The action arose out OF a quarrel
upon a car running between Ogden and
Salt Lake on June 8, wherein the St.
Louis drummer and the colored por-
ter, Gleason, exchanged dubious COM
pliments, with the outcome that the
Hebrew salesman was eventually the
under dog and got more or less
mauled in the process of ejectment.
The defense denied that the Pullman
porter was an employee Of the Rio
Grande Western, and that the affair
was properly simple case of assault
and battery between the pugilistic pas
senger and the energetic porter.
The case proceeded swimmingly until
the noon recess. J. II. Roth told his
story regarding the alleged eiectment,
and counsel for the plaintiff. after fur
Their examining J. w. Kidwell and Fl. S.
Scott, rested. The defense called j.
W. Jacobs and then Gleason was re-
quested to occupy the witness stand.
Upon being interrogated the gentleman
of color said that de scrap trans
pired upon the train somewhere be-
tween Layton and Pennington. AS
soon as this piece of information had
been impaired, Judge Howat pricked
up his ears, dismissed his witness and
called Attorney Farley L. Williams to
deliver expert geographical testimony;
witness had no hesitancy in asserting
that the $1,000 assault, according to the
testimony. must have occurred in Da-
Wis county.
Judge Howat lost no time in moving
on behalf of the defense that the case
be dismissed on the grounds that the
court lacked jurisdiction. Judge Cherry
conceded with the views of counsel
and the court promptly granted the mo-
ton and the suit was dismissed without
Attorneys D. S. Truman and James A
Williams, who represent J. II. Roth in
the action, will take immediate steps TO

Louis salesman, that the fracas had
taken place in the vicinity of the Hot
Springs.

KNIGHT HAS A GRIEVANCE
SECOND HAND MAN HELD ONTO
A SADDLE.
Man From Summit Claimed the
Property, But the Dealer Declined
to Give 1t Up.

James a. knight. rancher. has well
developed grievance. and yesterday he
journeyed from his home at Woodland,
Summit county, to the county attor-
ney's office to air il. Yesterday after
noon knight SHE'D his castor into the
store of Mr.. Weber, the State street
secondhand man, to the extent or
claiming a saddle therein displayed for
SALE Although Knight described the
saddle and furnished all Identification
marks, solemnly and ultimately pro-
fanely averred that the same was stolen
from his ranch, the secondhand dealer
was obdurate, and ordered the pilgrim
from the north TO vacate the prem
Uses.
Knight, accompanied by Deputy
Sheriff Dowse, hied to the city and
county building hot-foot to swear out
a reDlevin; while Assistant Attorney
Ray Van Colt did not refuse to issue
the paper, ne limited darkly to the ag-
grieved rancher to go back TO the dealer
and walk off bodily with his own prop
erty. knight, who is a brawny son of
the canyons, didn't take kindly to the
suggestion, but finally said he would
try il, anyhow.
The history of the location of the
saddle pays tribute to the detective
bump OF observation of Deputy Sheriff
Dowse. About three months ago. when
Abe Hunter was arrested by the Of
fcerS, Knight wrote to the sheriff 70 the
effect that some vandal had levanted
with a practically brand new Chicago
made saddle from his ranch. About a
week ago Dowse was rounding up the
secondhand stores in town, when he
ran across g, saddle with a nail loose
and rope burns on the horn.
knight was notified of the find, and
promptly came to town to claim his
property. Yesterday afternoon
he positively identified it in Webber's
store, with the above sequel. Knights
theory, to the effect that Abe Hunter
stole the saddle, has been shattered, as
it was sold to Weber by a man riding
a roam horse. who put the animal up
at FoX'S livery stable one night a
month ago, secured a temporary loan
of SO upon the quadruped from the
liveryman, and has not been heard
from from that day to this.

Judge Cherry and a jury yesterday
afternoon were occupied with the TAX
ing of testimony in the case of Berdena
Gray VS.. William Mcqueen, r. C
Chambers and Richard Macintosh.
The case in point dates back to June,
1888, when Jones & Schroeder brought
suit against plaintiff to recover the sum
of $50 for legal services rendered. Mrs.
Gray, according to the opening. state
ment of counsel, called at the office of
the attorney and signitied her intention
of going to the Worlds Fair; that she
had sold out her millinery business next
to the Salt. Lake theatre, but would be
absent from Salt Lake for a period of
sixty days, and that upon her return
she would pay the $50 bill. In due
course she started for the Windy City.
She left her trunk. at the depot to be
forwarded by freight.
This trunk was subsequently at
tached by William Mcqueen, who was
then sheriff of Salt Lake county, and
afterwards sold at public auction. On
Dec. %, 1895, Mrs. Gray entered suit in
Justice w. II. Sells court for $3.50, the
alleged value of the trunk and con-
tents. A decision was rendered in IA
vor of plaintiff, and against Sheriff Nc
Queen ct al. for s142 and $15.05 costs.
From this judgment Mrs. Gray APP
pealed, and the case is now being tried
again to recover the original amount of
damages. with interest from 1898.
During the examination of the jurors
by Attorney Straup. William Roach ere
ated quite ripple of merriment by his
answers to counsel.
Would the fact that the plaintiff in
this case is a lady bias your verdict
either way?" asked the attorney.
Mel oh, sir. love the ladies; love
'em ALL
After the judge had cleared his throat
counsel continued: BE that as it
may, the fact of her being lady would
not make you render a decision con-
trary to law and the testimony in the
case?"
IF she is in the rights I will give her
all she ought to have
The juror was accepted.
Mrs. Gray occupied the witness box
during the entire session, and delivered
an itemized statement, the alleged cost
and value of each article therein be-
ing gamely contested by the rival law
yers. Witness stated that the trunk
was worth s35, and then went on to
enumerate the various articles which
it was alleged to contain, china, glass
ware, silverware, curtains. blankets,
millinery goods and baby's clothes,
which witness said she would not have
lost for $4,000.
well, how are we to list those?"
asked Attorney Straup on cross-eXam-
nation, "at $4,000 or 30 cents?''
This question was too much for Mrs.
Gray, who broke down and sobbed.
The case was still being heard when
Judge Cherry adjourned until 10 o'clock
this morning. Attorneys Zane G Rog-
ers represent the plaintiff and Powers.
Straup & Lippman the defendants in
the action. The plaintiff. Mrs. Gray
was a well known milliner in Salt Lake
some years ago. and operated an es-
tablishment on East First South, near
the Theatre. She subsequently mar
ried Earl D. Gray. the Knutsford drug
gist.

arrested at the Rio Grande Western
depot yesterday afternoon, upon q
charge of obtaining money under false
p-etenses. The complaining witness is
Ernest Gasser, a stranger in town.
Gasser hired Williams to carry his
trunk to the depot, and it is alleged that
the expressunan represented to him that
unless he had ticket to some punt it
would require 10 cents to have It check
ed at the baggage ROOM He further
produced a claim check, asking Gasser
to purchase it of him instead Of the
railroad company, which Gasser did. 1t
was subsequently, learned that no sum
was required By the company at all,
and while Gasser didn't care for the
dime, he does object to being taken for

1t isn't exactly a cinch that the case
can be made to stick against williams,
but as the police have received many
complaints about him, they are going
to make a try. and at least put a stop
to the alleged taking.

A PREMATURE EXPLOSION.

Park City. Dec. IA distressing acct

last evening that came near costing two
men their lives. Cy Mcbride and Allen
Jorden were working in the bottom of a
winze on the 200 level. and had put in a
round CT holes, lighted the fuse, got in the
bucket and gave the signal to be hoisted.
The bucket was raised about twenty feet,
when one of the holes exploded. turning
the bucket completely over and showering
rocks and dirt over the unfortunate men.
Fortuna tely, the men saved themselves
from being thrown to the bottom by cling
ing to the rope. When brought to the
surface it was found Mcbride was some
what bruised about the head and body.
but nothing of a serious nature. Mr.. Jor-
den was not so fortunate A rock struck
his elbow with such force as TO shatter
the bone. which is causing him. severe
pain. He also was cut about the head
and body. He viii be taken to the hospi-
tai this afternoon. The cause of the pre-
mature blast was owing TO a piece of de-
fective OF quick fuse and the wonder
is that more serious results did not fol-
low Mr.. Mcbride is already over his
scare and is able to work, but it will be
several weeks before Mr.. Jorden will be
able to go on shift.
