FILES TEST CASE
ON BOND ISSUE
Heber M. Wells Enters Supreme
Court Seeking Writ Of
Prohibition.
------------
NON CONFORMITY TO LAW
NON CONFORMITY TO LAW
AFFIDAVIT Sets Out That Election Was
Not Held Properly as Contemplate
cd by Statutory Provisions.

In the supreme court this morning
nenccd for the purpose OF testing the
Legality of the bonds voted for at tho
recent election. There was considerable
talk of suit TO prevent the issuance
Of the bond issue prior to and at the
time of the election, but those who were
threatening to take the first step at
that time concluded to let the matter
drop.
Later, however. the Utah Savings &c
Trust company concluded to take the
matter up, and this morning filed In the
supreme court an affidavit for q writ of
prohibition to prevent Salt Lake City
from issuing or dsposing of the con-
templated bonds. The writ Is signed
by Heller M. Wells in behalf of the
Utah Savings & Trust company.
After reciting and referring to the
city ordinance and the various rcsolu-
tons passed by the city council calling
the election for the bond issue and all
the proceedings connected herewith,
the writ sets up the following reasons
why the bond issue should not be per-
mitted:
Frst--Tthat there was not sufficient
notice given of the time and manner
OF holding said bond election, as re-
tquired by law and set forth In section
800 of complied laws OF Utah.
Second-that the only notice of said
election so published in conformity
with the provisions of said statute stat
ed that the net revenue from the water
system of Salt Lake City therein ro-
ferred to shall be set apart and shall,
be sinking fund for the payment of
said bonds and interest thereon, where
as the bonds thus issued as provided
for by the ordinance which sets forth
that the city council shall annually
levy a sufficient tax to pay the interest
on the bonds as 1t falls due. also to
constitute sinking fund for the pay
ment of the principal thereof within 20
years and on account OF said matters
the notice published is Insufficient and
the said bond issue based thereon is
void
Tho writ is Issued and made return
able Nov. 30 at 10 o'clock a. IN.

TIME TO TRIM TREES.
Salt Lake Real Estate Association
Starts Campaign for Pretty streets,

Tho Salt Lake Real Estate associa-
ton. represented by its secretary, j. L..
Perkes, has commenced movement
for the Identifying OF the city by
means of a general trimming Of the
trees and foliage, much OF which has
been allowed to assume rather ragged
and unkept appearance through neg
lect. In speaking of the matter yes
terday. Mr.. Perkes said
THE streets of the city are, like those
of the national capital, known the
world over for their beauty. and 1t Is
felt that We cannot allow this general
reputation to suffer through any neg
lect OF ours, and to that end. We are
going to ask the people TO trim their
trees.
MANY tiries OF late have heard tho
matter spoken of by strangers visiting
the city, and some of the more observ-
Ing citizens who take pride In the ap-
pearance OF the city, and are anxious
that its general repute for natural
beauty and neatness, be maintained
There Is no reason why what we
are about to ask of the people should be
at all expensive, as the principal thing
to be done is TO trim away ragged and
overhanging limbs. and do away with a
too rank growth OF shrubbery IN few
places. Other cities look after the APP
pearance OF their streets, and there Is
every reason to believe that the citizens
of this city viii he only too willing 10
comply with a reasonable request of
this nature. 1t is not that people do not
care for the appearance of the city al
q whole or that of their homes in par
ticular. but the trees grow slowly. and
their appearance becomes ragged and
unkept by such slow degrees that 1t
is unnoticed till it looks bad.
The proper time for attending TO
trees and shrubbery In this respect will
be here within the next 30 days, and
the request will be made of the citizens
that they attend TO the matter within
that siuiA"

THE MAINE DEMOCRATS
DEMAND REsUBNISsION.

Bangor Me. July Ia.-With cut
and-dried program. providing for the
nomination of obadiah Gardner. of
Rockland. for governor. upon a plat
form demanding the resubmission of
the prohibition clause of the constitu-
tion to a popular vote. the Democrats
of Maine began their state convention
in City Han at 1880 this afternoon.
The Republicans recently nominated
Bert II. FernaM. of Poland. for gov
ernor. on platform opposing resub-
mission. Eernald holds that it will be
unwse to imperil prohibition which
has been on the statute books for more
than half century. by resubmitting II
to decision of the voters.
The campaign will be fought out on
this clear-cut issue and the Democratic
leaders in attendance at today's con-
vention declare that it will mean n
Democratic victory. They allege that
public sentiment favors resubmission
and point out that the Republican ma
joritics have been cut down from 49,
900 to 5000 in the last few years by
the liquor agitation.
The Republican platform declares
emphatically for the continuance of
prohibition. The Democratic platform
will assert that under republican
form of government the majority
should decide the question. while nc
positive stand Will be taken either foi
or against prohibition.
Democratic politicians declare tina
the prohibition law has become a farce
and a source of graft and corruption
and that, If the people decide to retail
it. the statute should be strictly en-
forced.

FLOODS RAGE in
TRINIDAD COUNTRY
Especial to The sentinel.l

Trinidad. Colo. July 15.-Following
the heavy rains of the past few days
the Purgatoire river is on the worst
tear since the disastrous flood of four
years ago that washed away the Santa
Fe depot and caused thousands of dol
lars damage.
The river began rising rapidly at
o'clock last evening. The heaviest
fall of water was in Riley canon, where
the stream broke out of it's banks,
flooded several buildings and washed
away several small adobe houses along
the river.
Damage is also reported at Segun-
do Sopris, Jansen and other camps.
In number of places the residents
have fled to higher ground; but the
crest of the flood is said to have passed
and no further damage is expected.
