SITE FOR NEW WEBER CLUB
Directors of D. H. Peery Company
Make Tentative Offer of
Ground,

Permanent and cOmmOdious quarters for
the Weber club is in sight. The directors
of the d. II. Peery company have tenta-
lively offered to donate a valuable piece
OF ground TO the club as site for new
club building. Although no official ac-
ton has been taken, it is expected that
the public spirit expressed by the Peery
brothers will be received properly by the
heads of the club and that the formal
tender of the grounds will be made in a
few days.
This means that there is a definite move
on in real earnest for a new home for
Ogden's Business Mems club. 1t is the
ready response to the suggestion of the
outgoing president John Pingree. that
the time was ripe to start the movement
for a new club home
The suggestion, which was merely men
toned at the meeting of the club on Mon
day evening. has created considerable en-
thusiasm. Because of the rapid growth
of the club the need is felt at this time.
1t is not unlikely that, if the offer is
accepted, the Peery company will also of
fer site for home for the Elks' club.
Like the Weber club, this organization
has also outgrown its present quarters
and for some time has been considering the
ACCESSIBILITY of building a structure of its
own.
Important developments are expected
within the next few days. 1t is under
stood that already several of the directors
of the d. H. Peery company have siSni-
fled willingness in the matter, which
virtually means that it will go through.

Masters Lee and VOwles, returned from
their wandeTings.
The little boys were scratched and dusty
and had evidently seen a large part of
the world during their absence. They
were too exhausted to tell of their adj

dropping asleep they said that some one
had induced them to go out into the
hills The little Lee boy was bruised
upon the face, as though he had fallen
somewhere.
When the little wanderers awake this
morning they will be asked to give the
full details of their adventures.

LAW is HELD INVALID
Supreme Court Decides That Applica-
ton of Writ of Prohibition
Must Be Restricted.

The supreme court yesterday handed
down a decision declaring chapter Of the
session laws of 1895, to be unconstitutional
and void.
This chapter enIaTges the application Of
the writ of prohibition and makes it APP
plcable to all manner of minor cases
where review is sought in higher
court The supreme court declares That
the act is not in accordance with Well-es-
tablished legal principles and is therefore
void and of no effect.
The case was that of the state eX rel
K. ]. Robinson, against {. +. Durand,
former justice of the Murray court
Robinson was sued in the Murray court
by T. E Laing for 1854 on a newspaper
subscription. He filed an affidavit set
ting forth that the court had no jurisdic-
ton as he lived in Salt Lake, but at the
hearing of the motion to dismiss he was
not represented and a default judgment
was entered against him.
He asked the district court for a writ
of prohibition to prevent the enforcement
of the execution levied against him and
also to prevent his arrest for failing to
appear in supplemental proceedings. The
writ was granted by the lower court, but
the supreme court holds that it did not
apply to this class of cases and that the
legislature exceeded its authority when it
passed chapter of the session laws of
1905
The supreme court also handed down a
decision in which the lower court is af-
firmed in the case of Daniel WOlSten-
nOime. special administrator OF the estate
of James Megeath against Grant II.
Smith and j. f. Darmer. In the. lower
court the plaintiff secured a judgment
against the defendants on note for $500,
given by them to Megeath on Sept. IL.
1901. DaTmer set up the claim that he
was only on the note as surety and that
he could not be held as the time of pay
ment had been extended. thus dbSOlVinS
him from his suretyship and that he had
not been notified that the amount was due
from him until four years after the max
ing of the note. The lower court decided
against this contention and Darmer ap-
pealed-
The supreme court says that Darmer' 5
contention would have been good law be-

law making a surety absolutely liable I'M

PRIESTS HOUSE is ROBBED.
Silver Worth s4oo, Shoes and Cigars
Are Taken.

During Monday night burglars entered
the residence of Rev. p. NJ. Cushnahan,
adjoining St JOsephs Catholic church,
and made away with a handsome solid
silver service valued at 800, a pair of
shoes and some cigars from the priests
private box Money in a drawer in the
kitchen table from which the silverware
was taken, was overlooked. and some
silver knives and forks, together with
smaller silver service, were also passed up
by the thieves.
It is supposed that entrance was gained
through a window into the dining-room
at the rear of the house. Father Cushna-
han, Father Ryan and the hOusekeeper
were all asleep in their respective apart
ments while the thieves were at work
II is believed that the trick was turned
by some one well acquainted with the
interior of the house. as the silver serv-
ice taken usually occupied a place i'm the
dining-room, inflow hich entrance was first
gained.
The police worked on the case all of
yesterday without securing any clew 1t
is expected that the thieves will melt
the service down and try to dispose of
the silver in that way The silver taken
was among the gifts presented to the
priest on his jubilee here

GRADE RULE ESTABLISHED
City Wins in Suit Involving Second
Avenue Sidewalk and In
junction Is Denied.

The application of L. A. Blackner for
an injunction against the city TO prevent
it from establishing a sidewalk grade on
Second avenue between Canyon road and
3 street was denied yesterday by Judge
Lewis of the district court.
This means that the city can go ahead
and lay the sidewalk on the grade es-
tablished by the city engineer with the
authority of the council.
The question came up on a demurrer of
the city, and H. J. Dinniny, city at
torney, made it stick Judge Ritchie
sustaining his contention that the COM
plant did not STATE d cause of action.
The complaint was to the effect that
the property of the petitioners would be
rendered inaccessible if the grade pro-
posed should be carried into effect The
decision means that the engineer in such
cases. with the authority and consent of
the council has the absolute right to
determine sidewalk grades and enforce
them.
