GOMAhS WINS
HARD BATTLE
Supreme Court Decision Re-
wives the Conway Scandal
and ReverSeS Trial Judge.

On opinion handed down by the SUI
preme court Saturday Tevives the story
of the career iu salt Lake of Peter }.
Conway and his subsequent 2bSconding.
In the case Of Peter y. Campbell. re-
spondent. against Hugh /. Gcwans and
wife and 5. b. hiluer. trustee. brought
originally for foreclosure of a mortgage,
the court ordered the findings of the
lower court reversed and judgment en-
tered for the defendants.
Ia doing the court held that between
innocent parties suffering through the
act of a third, the party who put 1t in
the power of the third party to inflict
the less should be the one to suffer.
Gowans and his wife in 1906 went to
Peter J. Conway. who conducted a loan
office in Salt Lake and wanted to Dor
row 500 on property in Tooele county,
where they reside. Gowans induced Pc
ter \. Campbell of New York to put up
the money, which the latter did through
in the trust deed Both Miner and
Campbell. however, permitted payments
of interest and of the principal in 1S0S to
be made to Conway. though Miner tes-
titled that he had written Gowans not
TO trust Conway, before the final pay
ment of the mortgage. On the other
hand. Gowans and wife had lived in
Tooele for fifty years. were well known
to the postmaster, and both testified that
no such letter had been received Con-
way cleared out after he had received
the final payment
The lower court found for the plain
tiff, and the supreme court reverses this
on the ground that the evidence was in
favor of GOwans and that it had been
clearly shown that Conway had been per-
mitted to get as the agent of Campbell.

their winning way. but they certainly
spend than can men. I'm in favor of
handing them over the cash and les
them work out their own salvation"
Aside from the subcommittee
named, there will also be information
and reception committees. 1t will be
the duty of the information committee
to install Information booths at various
points about the city and place in
charge intelligent persons to answer all
questions. pass out all literature and
direct persons who inquire about var
ious matters In Toledo there were
twenty-five such booths distributed at
important points. Colonel Sterrett will
recommend that at least twenty such
booths be arranged for in this city dur
ing the encampment.
A committee on public order will be
necessary also. The duties of this COM
mittee viii consist of making arrange
ments for adequate police and detective
service, the securing of permit for erect
ing grand stands and for placing booths
and decorative work and Cor closing
streets temporarily to traffic when pa
rades are to be given.
Just at present Colonel Sterrett has
his hands full in preparing his plans
and recommendations but he says the
men who are boosting the arrange
ments have given him most courteous
attention and assistance. and he Is GER
tain that the Salt Lake encampment
will prove one of the biggest. best and
most enjoyable in the history of the
Grand Army.

PRICE MUST TRY AGAIN.
Court Holds That His Discharge Was
Justified.

Holding that the Western Loan & Saw
ings company had good reason to dis
charge its attorney, .. 5. Price. the su-
preme court also reversed the finding of
the district court in a case originally
brought for legal services.
Price was employed by the company as
attorney in 1901 and 50 acted until May.
1901 Then he was told that he was
making too much money and the COM
pany too little" An agreement was then
made that Price vas to receive 800 q
month and that his services were not
to be dispensed with unless cause was
found Ir May. 1895. the company dis
charged Price who then sued for his
legal services. guam meruit. claiming that
the company had voided the contract and
that he was entitled to his fees as If
such agreement had not been made. This
would have amounted to s2.675. and the
court after deducting from this the Sl0C
a month which he had received, gave him
verdict for the balance, amounting to
s1S75.
The supreme court. reviewing the evil
dence held that the showing that there
had been strained relations between the
company and attorney, with unpleasant
ness and dissension. was sufficient ground
for the discharge, and ordered the case
ren1anded for new trial
