UTAHS u. S. ATTORNEYS.

VIVIAN has had IA United States
district attorneys, and Joseph
Lippman will make the 10Th.
since the organization Of the
~ United States courts in this ter
ritory in 1850 There is no Of
fetal record of United States district
attorneys prior to 1876, although the
record at that time gives the personnel
OF the courts from the beginning
Seth NJ. Blair was the first United
states district attorney appointed By
Prest. Millard Fillmore, Sept. 90 1850,
and as may be imagined, his duties
were not sufficiently arduous or numer-
Gus to occasion much loss Of sleep, or
undue excitement, as Salt Lake city
was village OF but few streets, while
ogdens population consisted of prairie
dogs and coyotes entirely, and the
greater part Of the territory was terra
incognita. Mr.. Blair died Nov II, 1875.
He was Utah man, but his successor
Joseph Hosmer, came from Missouri
being appointed March |, 1854 by Prest
Franklin Pierce, and he served until
Dec Is, 1858, over nine months beyond
the regular four years term of Office;
and then A. Wilson Of Pennsylvania,
an appolntee Of Prest. James Buchanan
was made United States district at
torney. Wilson served out his term
and returned to Pennsylvania, his native
heath. and Utah man, Hosea Stout,
was appointed to succeed him In 1862.
Mr. Stout served his government with
credit as United States attorney until
1865, when he retired, and died at Big
Cottonwood in March, 1888. Maj. C. II.
Hampstead, one Of Salt Lake City's
most prominent citizens, and who is
well remembered by old timers, was
appointed United States district attor-
ney to succeed Mr.. Stout; and he filled
the office well until 1870. dying nine
years later In this city George Bates
of Illinois and friend OF Prest Grant,
was appointed United States attorney
to succeed Maj. Hampstead in 1870 and

but beef, -four and other provisions
would be sent where a high priced
market awaited them The animals
which are shipped from New Orleans

, taned the motion for IA non-sut in

WARRANTS
FOR WAITE.

Dover, Del, May l3.-There wa
an echo of the brutal Collins murde
case here today when State Detec.
tive Francis secured warrants for
the arrest and returning to Kent

ored. Waite Is the negro of many
aliases, who confessed to Pinkerton
detectives while in Georgetown Jail,
awaiting trial of charge Of aggra7-
ated assault aud battery on Farmer

that he was sleeping in the Collins
carriage house the night before the
murder and was awakened by IA man
Eitching up a gray horse, and call

Came.
Subsequently, according to the
statement, the negro killed Mrs. Cot.
Inns for the money and escaped. To-
day it developed that Sympathizing
friends are about to have Waite re.
leased from Georgetown jail on bail.
The state fearing that he might mean
his escape from the jurisdiction Of the
court, and not having sufficient evl.
dence as yet 10 hold Waite for the
murder, evidently thought precaution
the better part Of valor. and had two
warrants issued here today that the
prisoner may rearresied and brought

LEVY COURT
PROCEEDINGS

1t is expected that the Levy Cour
in the near future, will take actor
to compel John P. Donahoe ant
Lewis Dickey, collectors of the
Adams investment tax in this city
to turn the money in their possess
: ion into the county treasury, OF re-
fund it to the persons from whom
it was collected. Otherwise, legal
action will probably be taken against
the two collectors by the Security
Trust and Safe Deposit Co.
Col. Benjamin Nields presented a
petition from the Security Trust and
Safe Deposit Co. for the refunding
of $2,227.17 paid by the Company
as Adams tax. The Adams law has
been declared unconstitutional
Colonel Nields said that the Levy
Court appointed the collectors and
levied the taxes. Their bonds have
already run five years and will ter
inmate in six years and if they are
to be proceeded against, action must
soon be taken.
II the Levy Court declines to take
action to have the money refunded
it will cause the petitioners to bring
suit in the name of the state against
the two collectors, who, Col. Niells
held, had no authority to withhold
the money.
| President Willitts said the court
was willing as soon as possible to
take action, but it is such Il complex
question: that the best legal guild
ance is necessary.
The communication presented by
Col Nields was referred to Henry
c. Conrad, for legal advice.
In response to an inquiry from
Chairman Willitts. Comptroller
Kelley said that Collector Donahoa
had paid $4,07s3? and Collector
Dickey $l.746.0U into the county
treasury.
An additional appropriation of
so, 900 was made to the Trustees of
the Poor. OF this amount $4,000 is
to be paid Immediately and the re-
nlainler in the near future.
Mf. EWart presented the follow
ing resolution, which was adopted:
Resolved. That thecounty of New
