DISTRICT COURT REVERSED
Decision of Highest Tribunal Re-
Dukes Instructions of Judge
Greenwood.

The supreme court in a decision rem
dered yesterday reversed the verdict of a
jury in the Fifth district court, Judge
Greenwood presiding, awarding to Lars
c. Peterson $1,000 damages against the
BUllion-Beck Champion Mining company.
Judge Morris L. Ritchie of the Third dis
tTict court wrote the opinion, Justice
Straup of the supreme bench not sitting
in the case. Justice Prick wrote a spe-
cial concurring opinion.
1t appears that Peterson leased from the
company some of its ground. Afterward
the company leased to John Malvey a
claim above his property. Malvey's ground
caved in several times and Peterson al
legged that the work on this property was
being done under the direction of the
company's superintendent and that it was
liable for the loss he sustained through
the caVe-ins. The company asserted in de-
Tense that it was not liable for anything
done by Malvey. The jury's verdict was
reversed because the court believed that
it was in great part due to the erroneous
instructions of Judge Greenwood

SAND IS REQUIRED
TO CARRY SAND AWAY
Increase in Land Values May Have
Much to Do With Arrests in
Federal Heights Case.

When a city is growing rapidly old
timers sometimes come face to face with
evidences of changes which surprise
them. This thought may have crossed
the mind of John Jeremy of 43 South
Eighth West street, an old-time Salt
Laker and brother of Ethan Jeremy Of
the Sears 81 Jeremy company. when he
was arrested yesterday and taken before
Justice of the Peace Bishop on a charge
of malicious mischief The complainant
was A NJ Wrench, manager of the Teilu-
ride Realty company, who alleged that
Mr.. Jeremy had hauled away sand from
property of the company on Federal
Heights, north of the university grounds.
This sand is of peculiar quality and is
much in demand at the foundries of the
city. For many years it has been the
custom of any person desiring load to
hitch up and drive out to Federal
Heights.
But times have changed. Land is in
creasing in value. and the owners out
on Federal Heights no longer view with
Indifference the digging of holes by the
endeavOred to stop the sand digging. but
habit of heading that way 1or sand this
was not an easy matter.
And so it came about that when Mr..
Jeremy went to Federal Heights for a
load of sand for Warm Springs foundry
a man who had been set at watch saw
him, reported the matter and his arrest
followed.
Justice Bishop set the case for next
Monday

SUPT. COSTELLO RESIGNS
To Be Succeeded by A. B. Stevenson
as Head of Utah Division Of
Oregon Short Line.

w. z. Costello, for the past ten
months superintendent of the Utah di-
vision Of the Oregon Short Line road.
has resigned his position and will leave
oct. 1 for the east.
Mr.. Costello, when asked last night
for the reason of his resignation, said
that he was going east. However,
back of this it is believed there is a
more serious cause for his action. The
officials of the company would say
nothing yesterday, but it is rumored
that not all has been harmony between
Mr.. Costello and the officials above him
for the past few months.
A. B. Stevenson. superintendent Of
the Montana division of the road, it is
understood, has been appointed to sue
coed Mr.. Costello Oct. l. As far as
could be learned last night, no one has
yet been appointed to succeed Mr.. Ste
venson at Pocatello.
Mr.. Costello came to Salt Lake ten
months ago from the east, where he
was in the employ of the Grand Trunk
railway. He has made many friends
here during his stay.

WILL FIGHT ORDINANCE.
Merchants to Carry License Law to
Supreme Court,

Local merchants who are supporting
the Christensen Shoe company in its
fight against obeying the ordinance Of
this city requiring a license to be paid
by all retailers annually, have received
a letter from Attorneys Zane and String
fellow, retained by the merchants to car
~ the case to the supreme court of the
state on behalf of the Christensen com
pany.
Judge Armstrong in the district court
some time ago rendered a decision in the
case. declaring the ordinance valid. The
merchants interested have raised $500 to
carry II to the supreme court.
Messrs. Zane and Stringfellow cite au-
thOrities IN support of their position and
specifically point out that according TO
their opinion. the case of Matthews
against Jensen is directly in point. and
hold that an ordinance with a classified
ton such as is now in force in Salt Lake
City is absolutely invalid, unconstftll-
tional and void. This we maintain, saw
the attorneys, settles the matter and
determines the law"
