FUN IN POLICE COURT.
William Stevenson Charged With
Assaulting Miss Phillips.

William Stevenson, an employee of the
Studehaker company, was on trial before
Judge Timmony yesterday, charged with
assault and battery. a Mrs Phillips was
the complaining witness and after an
hour of good fun for the court and spec
T8tOrS, the defendant was discharged.
Mrs Phillips lives next door to Mr..
Stevenson in the vicinity of Fourth Fest
and Fourth South, and the trouble arose
over q fence as is not uncommon. The
lady alleged that the gentleman had
erected a fence on her property, and she
told him most emDhatically to shiny on
his own side. She said that he struck
her when she made this demand.
But there was other evidence. and the
facts as finally established seemed to be
about as follows: The fence was put up
on May y last. IT was moved back and
forth a few feet each day Tor long
while, until Stevenson, firing of the per-
Torrance, got two men 10 move it back
and make it solid where he thought it
should be When these men came 10
perform the work at hand, Mrs. Phillips,
according to the testimony, threw a
Ratchet al one of them, and the fence re-
NAMED stationary Tor the time being.
The next day Mrs. Phillips went over
TO Stcvenson's and the fracas that en-
SIZED ended in his showing her off tho
back porch. The lady then sent for a
hatchet, according 10 the testimony, and
he told her that il she assaulted him with

Several Are Now at Work at the
Penitentiary.

The cOnvicts out at the penitentiary
made their first brush at the new fac
tory last week There are four or five
men working and more Will be put on
as they learn. Warden Dow said yes
terday that he was very we'll satlshed
with the progress so far. And the ar
ticle which has been turned out shows
that the convicts have caught on very
quickly. There have been made clothes
brushes, nail brushes and others. Just
as soon as the first men learn the bust
ness thoroughly others will be put to
work until the force has reached twelve
or fifteen, which is the capacity of the
factory.
The warden declares that the out
put of brushes will not interfere with
the local factories, for they cannot
supply the trade now. Brushes are i'm
ported by wholesale from the outside
in large quantities and many of them
are made in other state penitentiaries.
If the next legislature should make a
sufficient appropriation the factory can
be enlarged.
The first brushes were made IN Utah
over twenty-five years ago by manu-
facturer named Jones. When he died
! several years ago the business was not
kept up by his heirs. Since then there
have been many factories but never
with a sufficient output to supply the
| local demand.

WAR POLICY OUTLINED.

Washington, June An order to pre-

policy of the war department respect
ing the military forces in the Philip

a brief statement of the facts in the
case today. He said there had been
no change of policy since the depart

Under the law the entire volunteer
Will go out Of existence June 80, 1901,
and the problem before the war de-

of that army home from the Philip
pines before the date named, at the
same time relieving them with other
troops of the regular establishment, so
far as possible without loss of mill
tary prestige in the Philippines and
without material disturbance of the
present military organization.
General Corbin says it is proposed
to maintain an army of 10000 regulars
in the Philippines so long as required
and to do this it will be necessary to
draw upon the troops now in Cuba.
The army in the Philippines at pres

SERIOUS CHARGE Is MADE
Suit Is Brought Against E. L. Sheets
and P. w. McCaffrey.

Mrs. Mary Spencer Blackmore has
made some very serious charges
against Stock Broker E. L. Sheets and
P. w. McCaffery, in a complaint which
she filed in the state district court yes
terday.
She maintains that she and her hus-
band own property in block 20, plat
ID" of the Salt Lake City survey,
which is in the northeastern part of
the city.
Mrs. BIakemore declaT - that Sheets
and McCaffery induced her to sign a
mortgage under the pTetense that it
was as witnesses ana was simply re-
ceipt. This happened on June ?, 1890.
According to the story of the complaint
Sheets, McCaffery and w w. Mitchell
came to the house and they read to the
two old people the papers She says
that they are deaf and did not hear dis
tinctly. But they thought that it was
all right and signed their names.
But later on they yearned that this
was a note for $4,000 and a trust deed
to Arthur L. Thomas. They found out
according to the complaint, that the pa
pers- were made out to the Utah Title
Insurance e Trust company, EOw
known as the Utah Savings & I ust
company.
In 1895, when the mortgage was over
due and unpaid, the company sold il
to w j. Menzies and he secured fore
closure decree, In their defense at the
time they claim to have set up fraud as
a reason why the mortgage was not
Valid, but it is said that as Menzies was
an innocent purchaser, the court held
that the defense was not good as
against l1isc lain.
Then, according to this complaint, af-
ter the decree was given, the trust
company bought back the property.
Probably the most curious part OF
the complaint is the allegation that nc
part of the $4,000 was ever received by
the mortgagOrs. They maintain that
Sheets and McCaffery got them to sigT
this mortgage for the trust company
without giving them anything at al
in return. They charge Sheets and Nc
Gallery with a breach of trust.
Now the mortgage is overdue and IN
paid and the Utah Savings and Trust
company wants its money.

DECISION is AFFIRMED.
Supreme Courts Opinion Regarding
Sum Mentioned In Deed.

The supreme court declared yesterday
that the amount mentioned in a deed
is not conclusive evidence that such
amount was paid This was in the
case of Thomas Miller VS.. Elizabeth
Livingston ct al, which had been
appealed by the defendants.
The defendants had made promis-
sorry note to Miller for $500 and he
had begun foreclosure suit. But the
defendants had set up a counter claim
for a balance due on the land, which
they maintain was sold to Miller. This
was for $1,SSS.S0. But on the trial of
the case in the lower court Miller set
UP that the amount paid for the land
was $4,000, which was paid in cash at
the time of the purchase. The amount
of $4,000 was put in ito make it look
good"
The question was as to whether the
deed was better evidence than the YER
/ bal agreement and understanding OF
/ the plaintiff and the defendants. The
court held that in this case it was and
/ the decision of the lower court is af-
/ firmed with costs.
