PHIHEAS YOUNG DISCHARGED
CITY HAS A RIGHT TO PROTECT
ITS WATER SUPPLY.
Decision by Justice McMaster fn the
Case in Which Bishop Brinton Was
Interested.

Justice McMaster rendered his de-
cision in the case against Phineas
Young yesterday afternoon-the case
wherein Young was arrested on the
complaint of D. B. Brinton for refusing
to allow loose cattle to be driven
through Parley's canyon. The justice
ordered defendant discharged, on the
ground that he was in the discharge Of
his duty
The opinion Of the court recited that
the state laws give cities the right to
prescribe regulations for the protection
of ali streams from which a water sup
ply is obtained within a distance of ten
miles, and while such rules or regu-
lations may, to some extent, abridge
the rights and work q hardship on a
portion Of the people, public policy and
considerations Of health in large com
munities are lustidable grounds on
which to compel the few to yield to the
necessities Of the many.
As the case was based on a criminal
charge and decided against the
state, no appeal can be had. so that il
the question is to be tested IN the
higher courts, as it has been intimated
Ii would be. some other tactics will
have TO be adopted.

immigration of the first Scandinavians
to Utah
The party numbered twenty-eight
souls, he said, and reached Salt Lake
on the morning of Oct. Is, 1882. Only
one of that company was present at
the meeting yesterday, and she is Au-
guste DOTius Stevens of Ephriam. The
speaker, continuing was thankful that
the feeling that once existed against
the new Corners had been overcome and
that the people of Scandinavia had TAX
en- the place they should have among
the Saints of Utah.
President Brigham Young sent the
Scandinavian people into Sanpete coun-
ty to settle as soon as they began to
arrive in great numbers, his reason be-
ing that the climate there was more
suited to them, being as cold as Scandi-
navia itself in some places. He had the
greatest confidence in their thrift.
The Scandinavian peotee of Utah,
said Elder Jensen, were now recog-
nized as being capable and worthy of
positions of trust, as is demonstrated
by the appointments they have received
in ecclesiastical political and civil life
He mentioned a number of the fore
most men among the Saints, including
Apostle Lund, Apostle Smoot, whose
mother was from Norway: c. D. Fiel-
