YER Belnap promises TO be interesting.
When the matter was called before Judge
Gunnell OF the juvenile court today,
demurrer was entered by the attorneys
representing Mrs. Preston 20 the com
plaint OF Belnap, on the ground that the
Juvenile court has no jurisd Iction Of the
case. This demurrer is based on the
fact that a divorce was granted TO Mrs,
Preston from Belnap some time ago in
the district court OF Weber county, and
the decree specified that Mrs. Preston
should have the custody OF tho child
When the demurrer was argued before
Juvenile Judge Gunnell today, he refused
10 dismiss the action, claiming that his
court Is the proper tribunal TO decide
into whose custody the child should be
placed. since the question Of improper
surroundings and lack of care for the
girl had been raised in the complaint OF
her father, Oliver Belnap. Judge Gun
nell continued the hearing until tomor-
row, when testimony will be introduced
regarding the environment and care OF
the little girl since the district court
gave her into the custody Of the mother.
In the meantime, an effort will be made
by the attorneys for Mrs. Preston to OBJ
tain an order from Judge J. a. Howell
OF the district court prohibiting Judge
Gunnel from hearing the case.
