VERDICT BY DIVISION.
Method Said to Be Employed in Case
AGAINST City.

Documents filed in the office of the
clerk of the district court yesterday by
the attorneys for the defendants in
support of their motion for a new trial
in the case of g. A. Onasch against
Salt Lake City and the Utah Light &
Railway company, in which damages
We're assessed at S12500. show the De-
culiar methods resorted to by the eight
men who constituted the jury that
heard the evidence and rendered the
verdict.
Angus NJ. Lambert and Herbert. two
of the jurors, have made affidavit as
to how they determined the amount in
which the defendants should be
mulcted. They say the eight were in
favor of giving the plaintiff judgment
against both defendants. Some wanted
to make the amount as low as 10000.
and others to make it as high as $4,000.
The eight amounts the eight jurors IA
vOred were added together and divided
by eight. The qUOtient was So, 1863. To
this they added the $500 the plaintiff
testified he spent for medical services
after losing an arm in the accident OF
which he complained. This brought the
total up TO S12.565. Then it was agreed
10 knock off $50 and make the judgment
500 even.

SMALL MONEY FOR WIDOW.
Supreme Court Renders Decision in
Suit Against Administrator.

The supreme court yesterday handed
down an opinion in the appeal case
of Mile G. Reed against the JUdg-
ment of the district court affirming
the final account rendered in the mat
ter Of the estate Of her deceased hus-
band. Edward 4. Reed. The Judgment
of the lower court was sustained.
Mrs. Reed charged that the estate
left by Edward 4. Reed was practi-
cally absorbed by the administrator
by appropriations to himself and by
paying out excessive attorneys fees,
and that little of it was left to her
self and the other heirs when final
settlement was made. The case came
from Ogden, where Edward A. and
Mile q. Reed lived during his life
time.
After the death of Reed. in August
1894 G. II. Burgitt was appointed ad-
miuistTaJOr of his estate. Burgitt died
i'm July. 1900. without making a report
or rendering an account as admin
stratOr. and thereafter Mile G.. Reed
was appointed administrative of her
husbands estate and r. T. Hume was
appointed administrator of the estate
of Burgitt. Hume and the bondsmen
We're cited on petition of Mrs. Reed
to report the receipts and disburse-
ments of Burgitt as administrator
When the report was rendered it
showed that the estate had almost van
iShed, and Mrs. Reed took exceptions
to the report and appealed from the
judgment of. the district court con-
firming the report.
In sustaining the Judgment OF the
lower court the supreme court says:

of these matters, for the record before

pertaining thereto. In such case il will
be presumed the findings are in accord

Issue Of Fact,

Judge Armstrong yesterday granted
a motion of the attorney for Mrs. NJ. l..
Douglass. charged with assaulting Mrs
LOttie Martin with intent to kill, TO
withdraw her plea of not guilty and
enter a motion to quash the Informal
ton and demur to the same. Argu-
ments on the motion and demurrer will
be heard next Tuesday.
1t is asserted i'm the motion to qUash
the information that no complaint was
filed against the defendant accusing her
of the crime alleged in the information,
that she was not given a preliminary
hearing, and that for these reasons the
district court is without jurisdiction to
try the woman.
1t is contended that the statutes of
Utah provide that the charge against a
prisoner cannot be changed to put him
in jeopardy in the district court for d
more serious Offense than that for
which he was held to answer at his
preliminary arraignment or hearing. 1t
is also Contended that Mrs. Douglass
has never had a preliminary hearing
on the charge of assault with intent to
commit murder.

The Chickasha daily express. (Chickasha, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1899-current, 1905-10-21

The Indians were citizens of the
United States and all citizene were
guaranteed an equal voice in the
government. While the Indians
owned the greater part Of the land
in the country, they had parted
with their rights in the towns and
much of the other land had been
alienated. Moreover, a large part of
the Indian lands were untaxable.
Indian tax payers would be in the
minority Was it right that they
alone should dictate in forming a
constitution TO the exclusion of the
white citizens? What was this
but the reincarnation Of the old
doctrine Of taxation without re-
presentation?
General Porter in discussing
the Indians attitude had said
Ihey are for separate state but
I think they prefer no statehood.
Here was the fly in the separate
ointment -itwas no state move
ment, somebody wanted to go on
eating pie. It was foolish to
have anything to do with such
movement. Mr.. Furman favored
safe guarding and protecting the
interests of the Indians in every
way.
The Chickasha daily express. (Chickasha, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1899-current, 1905-10-21

Taking up the issues that will
confront the the people when the
constitution for the new state is
made, the speaker said the one
great issue would be whether the
people or the corporate interests
would rule. The corporations were
organized for the fight and the peo-
pie must be prepared. The free
pass evil was denounced in the
strongest terms. In selecting dele
gates TO the constitutional conven-
tion the following questions should
be asked in regsrd to every man.
Is he for che people, Are bis prin-
ciples righ2 Is his life rightP Are
his environments right2 The points
for the people to guard would be
the election Of county commissions
ers, governor, attorney general and
members Of the legislature. The
corporations would seek to capture
everything and the people must be
vigiIant. This part of the address
was very strong.
Mr.. Furman was frequently ap-
plauded during his address and was
warmly congratulated at its close.
He left or the afternoon train for
his home in Ada.
