SUPREME COURT OPINIONS.
Three Were Handed Down Yesterday
In That Tribunal.

bury must pay $500. interest and costs
to Gate Gutheil, administrative Of the
estate of Moroni Williams. deceased,
according to one Of the three opinions
handed down yesterday in the state
supreme court. The opinion in ques-
ton was written by Associate Justice
McCarty, cOncurred in by Chief Jus
tice Baskin and dissented from by As
sOciate Justice Bartch.
The action was begun in the Third
judicial district court on Oct. Is, 1899,
by Kate Gutheil, to collect $500 from
G!lmer, Salisbury & CO. 1t was al
legged that on Nov. 20. 1882, Williams
sold a mine to the company for &c.,
600, receiving $10,5O0 cash. 1t vas
agreed that he was to receive the bal
ance as soon as the purchasers sold the
mine. A mining company was formed,
the majority of the stock being held
by o. J. Salisbury. and the mine VIII
liams sold the Salisbury company was
. transferred to the new company for a
nominal sum, 81. To other parties the
Williams mine. which afterwards
proved to be quite valuable. together
with some additional mining claims,
was sold for 100000.
The administrative sued the Sails
bury company for the $500 due on the
Williams mine. The company resisted
on the ground that the sale of the
mine only melted 81, hence, under the
agreement, there was no valid claim
for the $500. The lower court found
for the woman. and the supreme court
sustained the trial judge.
This is the second time the case has
been before the supreme court The
first time it was tried the Salisbury
company was victorious in the district
and supreme courts.
In the case of NJ. L. Clarity against
/ the BulliOn-B Beck & Champion Mining
company, the decision of the lower
court was affirmed. The jury which
tried the action found for the miner in
the sum Of $685., costs and interest
The accident happened on June q,
1902. 1t was an action to recover Tor
personal injuries alleged TO have been
sustained by Clarity because Of the
cOmpany's failure to furnish a reason-
ably safe course Of ingress and egress
Z to and from his place of work in the
defendants mine. The opinion was
written by Associate Justice McCarty.
Chief Justice Baskin wrote the opin-
| ion in the case of NJ. W. Hicks, appel
liant, VS.. the Southern Pacific company,
! respondent. 1t reversed the lower
court. which granted the company a
nOn-suit after the plaintiff had intro
! duced his evidence. The supreme court
| holds the judge committed an error in
granting the defendants motion, and
/ orders the case to be tried. Hicks was
J a section hand working for the com
/ pany at ogden. and was injured while
assisting in the removal of some rails
I from a hand car, which was standing
on the track in front of a rapidly ap-
preaching train. The case was an ac-
+ ton to recover for an injury alleged
to have been inflicted upon Hicks by
( the negligence of the company in
whose service he was employed at the
time the injury was sustained.
