LOADED CAR WALTzES.
Scvcnty-scvcn Passengers Experience
A New Sensation on Main Street.

The East Fourth South car, inward
hound with n passengers on board,
came within an ace of tipping over on
Main street. Just north of Third South
at 1850 this morning, AS 1t was 1t
looked like an ugly panic in the crowded
car for a second, but the monorman
shut off the power in time to avert a
stampede
AS is usual on this car, 1t was loaded
ana people were standing in the aisle
and on both platforms before Ninth
South was reached. On its way up
town the conductor demonstrated that
he was a packer and succeeded In get
ting II people on the car, including one
man who rode on the pilot outside.
Through some cause or other the car
left the rack on Main street, the for
ward trucks apparently bent on max
Ing FOR the Palace Meat market while
the rear trucks remained on the metals.
The sloppy snow on the asphalt also
was factor in making the wheels slide
south so that in a twinkling the car
slowed around viclously while the rear
platform which was loaded with people
narrowly escaped striking a pole The
noise wh-sj, accompanied this unex-
pected waltz brought pedestrians up
standing and employees Of adjacent
stores rushing TO the doors who watched
the car sway as though II would tip
over and the subsequent scramble of all
to get out OF the affair.
AS one man remarked subsequently,
had the car gone over there would
have been a dozen smothered and as
many more injured"

JUDGMENT REVERSED.
Supreme Court Passes on Free VS.. Lit
tie ct al.


An opinion has been handed down
by the supreme court reversing the
Judgment of the lower court and dis
missing the complaint in the case of
susie VI. Free against Fannie NJ. Lit
tie ct al, appellants. The action was
brought TO compel the specific perform
ance of contract of sale of part of lot
A. block So, plat a, Salt Lake City sur
vey executed by James 7. Little, the
husband of Fannie NJ. Little. during his
lifetime The lower court found the
issues IN favor of respondent and or
dered the defendants to deed the prop
erty to plaintiff upon the payment by
her of $1,000, the purchase price agreed
upon.
The contract was dated on Jan. 6, 1898.
and Mr.. Little died about two years
afterwards before the price agreed
upon had been paid The supreme
court holds that the ~laintlff could not
have compelled Mr., Little to specifically
perform the agreement even in his life
time because his wife did not Join in
the same, and hence her interest could
not come In court now and compel her
10 carry out the agreement Further
than that the evidence shows that the
PLAINTIFF did not file a claim against
the estate of James r. Little neither
did she proceed to compel specific per-
Torrance by the executor of his es-
tate as REQUIRED by the law laid down
in the tutes on see ions 1886 to 80 o,
which states that the mode Of proce-
dure 10 compel specific performance
of contracts against the deceased per-
sons. Hence she has no cause of ac-
ton against the defendants who are
heirs TO the estate of James T. Little,
The lower court Is therefore reversed
and the case ordered dismissed. Justice
Prick wrote the opinion of the court.
which Is concurred in by Chief Justice
McCarty and Justice Straup

Don't Like Their Name and Ask Court
To Change II for Them.

A petition was filed in the district
court this afternoon by Joseph Bull
Jr., Elizabeth A. Bull Joseph w. Bull.
Burdette =. Bull. Ruth Bull. Elsie Bull,
Walter r. Bull. Sidney and Melvin
Bun asking that their names be
changed to Burdette.
The reason for asking the change Of
name as set forth by the petitioners is:
That your petitioners carry the name
OF Bult which is In itself suggestive and
makes your petitioners objects OF ridi-
Guile. thereby causing them great an
noyance and humiliation: that 1t is a
common name in Salt Lake City and
county, Utah. and the name of many
living In close proximity 10 your petit
TONERS. not In any way related to your
petitioners and the mail of your petit
TONERS has been and is confused with
that of persons of like name; that your
are strangers and frequently
mistaken for persons of like name: that
the name sought hereby to be taken
by your petitioners is family name
and highly honored by your petition
ers"

These machines are made of wind

They are hidden in different parts
