why the changes have been made
and why the council has not been
informed of them.
He limited that there was some

Il don't accuse the engineer OF
anything wrong, exactly" he said.
But things look funny. Changes
have been made in the bridge
without our consent"
Our engineer is no doubt an
extraordinary man, judging by the
long tail attached to his name. 1t

alphabet, should judge, and ends

council.
"The engineer is the city's archi-

ASKS FOR INJUNCTION
TO PREVENT 4 LEVY
Job Pinchin Contests Judgment
by Durand in Favor of Merchants
Protective Association.

Another suit contesting judgment Sc
cured by the Merchants Protective asso-
citation was filed in the district court yes
terday by Job Pinchin. He asks for an
injunction to prevent levy being made
on his property to satisfy judgment en-
tered by the late lamented Justice Durand
of Murray on March g. 1907
The beginning of the case dates back to
Aug. IL, 1893, when J. H. Thomas secured
a judgment against Pinchin in the justice
court for the First precinct of Salt Lake
county for s9l.25 and S7.25 costs.
Nothing was done until Aug. o. 1895.
when ]. P McOmie, then justice at Muir
ray, had the matter brought before him.
Pinchin was present and moved that a
dismissal be entered. as the court did not
have jurisdiction.
In October 1906. the Merchants Protec-
tive association secured an assignment OF
the original claim and brought suit on
the judgment in Justice Durand's court.
On March of the next year summons
was served on Pinchin's mother-in-law.
who resides here, and judgment was
shortly afterWard rendered against Pin
chin for $76OS and $3.50 costs. On March
D. 1905, levy was made against his prop
eTty and placed in the hands of the sher-
if. and the injunction proceedings are a
result.
Pinchin says that he has never lived in
visited his home in Mill Creek for two
years, that there is justice in the Mill
Creek district and that the man who
served the summons did not have the au-
thority of constable, and there was no
showing that there is not a constable in
NH Creek capable of serving the sum-
mons on him at that place.

WINS AFTER LONG FIGHT.

W. o. Johnson, a painter of this city.

fication that the Southern Pacific Rail-
road company had settled mis- claim
against it for $500. thus bringing an end
to a long legal battle remarkable for the

by both the plaintiff and the defendant.

as he claimed, on account of the differ
ence in the couplers, his hand was caught
and mashed so badly that it had TO be
amputated. He brought suit for $4,000
The case was tried before Judge Mar
shall in the federal court and the com
pany won. An appeal was taken to the
United States circuit court of St. Louis
where the decision of Judge Marshall was
sustained by the three judges of that
court. At this juncture the interstate
commerce commission became interested
and the case was carried to the United
States supreme court. and the decision Of
the circuit court of appeals was reversed
and Johnson was given the privilege of a
new trial. In 1905 the case was taken to
the district court at Elko, New. Before
it came to trial, however, the railroad
company succeeded in getting its trans
ferred to the federal circuit court at Car
son, New. 1t was here that the case was
resting when the Southern Pacific ended
the struggle by forwarding the $500
check to Johnson

was positively announced yesterday aft
ernoon that the editor of the local Re-
publican organ, who is suspected in some
quarters or leaning toward Senator
SmOot and the Smoot machine, either just
ly or unjustly. would not be permitted TO
preside over Saturday nights meeting.
Statements made yesterday went even
further. Ii was said that only the Re-

ued domination of Republican politics by
Senator Smoot and the federal crowd

any such party may count himself lucky
II he is not hurled unfeelingly through a
plate glass window.
The purpose of the approaching meet
ing is to outline plans for the future pro-
cedure of the insurgents. From this time
forward the fight is to be made in the
open. Appeals to the state and county
committees have resulted in nothing but
blisterng for the rebels. They propose
now to appeal to the masses of their
party.
With this object in view. they will at
tend their primaries en- masse to elect if
possible their own people as delegates to
the state convention. One of them said
yesterday that the anti-SmOOt people
l. would be in control of the state conven-
tion. Major II. p. MytOn, Collector Z. H.
Callister Marshal SpTy, Tom Hull and
several others refuse to concede this. The
fight, nevertheless is to be made.
part of the insurgent program, as has
heretofore been stated, is 10 prevent the
election of the congressional delegation as
delegates to the Chicago convention. In
place of Senators Smoot and Sutherland
and Representative Howell the insurgents
will center on such men as Benner Y.
Smith, Stephen II. Love, John Q. Critch-
low, Orson Hewlett, George n. Lawrence,
Calvin Buckwalter, president of the Young
Mems Republican club. and others. II is
conceded that if the rebels can muster
enough votes they will be able to put
through a slate of their own making. The
only question is as to their ability to mus
Ter enough votes.
The Igorrotes present Saturday night
will decide upon the time and place for
holding a mass protesting convention.
This convention will naturally be held
} prior TO the state convention. Assurances
of support are understood to have been
received from various sections of the state,
and it is believed by the more sanguine
ones that enough can be mustered to
rake more than respectable showing.

been invited to attend the conclaVe Sat-
