Judge T. d. Lewis of Salt Lake City
now holds the Carr case under advise
ment; in that case there in an import
ant point to be decided that will be
awaited with interest, for it is of in
terest to this people. The point Is
this: In 1887 the famous Edmunds-
Tucker Law was passed which annull-
ed and set aside all the Territorial law
of Utah which gave to illegitimate
children the right to inherit their
fathers estate; there was, however, a
provision in that law which declared
that the act should not apply to any
Legitimate child which was born
within twelve months after the pas
sage of the act; a purely literal con-
StructiOn of the law of course would
be that unless the child was born be-
tween the time of the passages of the
Act and one year thereafter. he could
not inherit; but it is contcnded in the
Carr CAGE that this law was intended
to be remedial in its operation and
prospective and not retroactive in it's
results and therefore that any illeg It'll
mate child which was born prior to
March 3rd, 1888 was embraced within
the proviso and its rights to inherit
was not affected by that law. Judge
Ogden Hiles of Salt Lake City, in the
Harvey estate case held to this effect
and held that polygamous child born
in 1884 was within the exception to the
rule and could inherit from its father.
Johnnie Carr was born about the year
1856 and If Judge Lewis rules as did
Judge Hiles, he will be within the ex-
ception also.

Thomas Cummings appeared before
Judge Conlan yesterday morning on
charge of discharging firearms within
the city limits. He had hard luck
story to tell, and he told it. At the
conclusion of the moving tale the
Judge, too moved to speak, waved the
prisoner to freedom. Friday night Cum
mings came to the city from Hunters
Point, where he has been working in
warehouse. He met friend near the
Hall of Justice and purchased from
him a revolver for the sum of so cents.
The revolver was loaded, and Cum
mings was unwilling to violate the law
against carrying concealed weapons, so
he attempted to unload it. In doing so
he discharged the weapon, the bullet
passing through his hand. The report
awoke the echoes in the Central police
station and half a dozen policemen
rushed out, expecting nothing less than
a murder case When they found the
cause of the trouble they were so dis
appointed that they locked Cummings
up.

George Johnson is a soldier man, and
he went abroad on the Barbary Coast
Friday night. In one of the halls of
pleasure in that justly celebrated dis
trict he objected to the manner in
which Miss Della Smith was doing a
two-step. 1t did not comport with his
ideas of grace and poetry of motion, so
he handed her a few wallops. Police
man Dick Skein, who is the personal
representative of law and order on Pa
ci1c street, attempted to place the little
boy in blue under arrest. There was
something doing for a while, and those
who saw it said il was about as lively
a mix-up as has ever occurred in such
a short space of time. Johnson was
finally landed in Jail and appeared in
Judge Conlan's court yesterday with
his head wrapped up in blanket, the
outward and visible signs of Policeman
Skein's activity. The complaining wit
ness was unable to appear in court be-
cause she was suffering from the in
juries received at the hands of the SOL
dier. and the case was continued until

the way. He told the banqueter that
the score was unpaid, which the latter
denied. Anatasco emphasized his de-
mand for the money by securing a
stout, unyielding club and whacking
kilmartin with it. Some of the other
customers interfered and called a po-
liceman, who placed the restaurauteur
