Capt. and Mrs. Scott, in charge OF the
Ellsworth branch Of the Salvation Army,
have decided that or the occasion OF the
first anniversary of this corps, Feb. 13, to
run three days sale OF work probably
Thursday, FRIDAY and Saturday, Feb. 10, II,
IL. Following this, there will be two days
OF special meetings Sunday and Monday,
Feb. 13, IA when some OF the army's
leading officers will take charge. People
who are interested in the work should
commence now to make goods for this
sale and help made it success. The work
of the army is gaining more interest day
by day. All who will help for the sale
are requested to send name, to Capt. j. G.
Scott, box 376, Ellsworth, and what they
intend making.
The case of John A. Stuart vs.. the city
OF Ellsworth, growing out Of the dismiss
sal OF plaintiff as driver Of fire team, has
been finally disposed of. Mr.. Stuart
brought suit to recover full months sala-
ry. The case was really test case, as
Mr.. Stuart held that his dismissal was il
legal, and continued to report to the chief
engineer for long time after his dismis-
sal, with the intention, it was understood,
if the law courts decision was favorable
to him, to bring action for reinstatement
and full pay for all the time he had been
reporting for duty. The city had ten
dered him s1950-the amount due him
pro rata for the time he had actually
worked. The case went to the law court
on agreed statement, and the decision was
in favor of the city, but gave judgment
for plaintiff for half months salary =
$3.50. The case came back to the lower
court for hearing as to sufficiency Of the
tender made by the city. The tender was
adjudged insufficient, which threw the
costs on the city. Judgment and costs,
amounting to something like 20, have
since been paid.

attitude In this case has been changed
on the instant" he gravely told :he court.
I respectfully suggest 10 the court that
the proceedings be stopped until Lieut..
Utley arrives. He IS coming here as a
witness When ne arrives he VIII be a
defendant.
For my own part I am placed IN a
position by this ruling Of the court
where I must either withdraw from the
case entirely OF seek 20 accuse some one
OF causing tho death OF Lieut.. Sutton.
II am asked whom I Will accuse I can
not answer. IN fact I do not know that
have any rotation whatever 70 these
proceedings.
Cannot Decide on Plans.
I entered the case with an open mind.
Now am forced into the position OF a
prosecutor: I cannot say on the mo-
ment what course I shall pursue. II the
court viii stop the proceedings until
Lieut.. Utey arrives Will have time 70
decide upon my course OF action and will
report to the court when II rsconvenes. d
The court announced that II would hold
no further sessions until Lieut.. Uuey
appeared. The change in the status OF
tho various interested parties was re-
ceived In different ways. Lieut.. Adams
declared that he would not be satisfied
with verdict OF accidental death. such
a verdict. he declared. would place him
In the position Of being guilty OF SUIT
toms death
he said he would carry the case 10 the
President in such an event. The other
officers appeared. less agitated VIII
Ing and Bevan said they did not think
they would employ counsel as they did
not think II necessary. They had told
all they knew OF the affair on the stand.
and would rest on their own statements.
VIII Not Engage Counsel.
Bevan was officer Of the guard and
Willing was officer OF the day when the
killing Of Sutton occurred. Both were
on the scene when he died. but neither
had any part in the various fights IN
which Sutton. according to the evidence
was engaged that night. Osterman, who
had fist fight with Sutton. bat who was
not present when he died. will probably
not engage counsel Neither will De Hart
During the running debate between the
attorneys over the reading OF the Sutton
letter Attorney Davis criticised Mai
Leonard for not having put It in evidence
on the opening day. The Judge advocate
in discussing the matter out OF court said
that his object in doing so was to allow
the officers involved in the affair 10 tell
their stories simply as witnesses unham-
pered by the knowledge that there was
any necessity OF protecting themselves
as defendants.
It is supposed that the court will re-
convene on August g The North Caro-
lima. which has Utley and Cook on
board. is due at Provlncetown. Mass. on
August 4, but is reported two days over

be introduced as evidence. II was passed
10 Commander Hood. and Maj. Neville
and Lieut.. Jensen read It. The presid-
ing officer announced that II would be
admitted. and directed the Judge advo-
cate TO read II. This Mai. Leonard did.
When he concluded he made a statement
that astonished the Sutton attorneys and
developed the only signs OF bitterness
that has yet appeared.
Il move" said the judge advocate.
that Mrs Sutton Is made the complain
ant in these proceedings, and that all
the officers present at Lieut. Sutton S
death appear as defendants, and be ac-
corded the right TO be present at all
further proceedings OF the court. and be
allowed the right to cross-eXamine wit
nesses."
Mr.. Davis opposed the motion vigorous
~. He argued that the sutton letter
preceded the precept under which the
court operated; that n the court allowed
the motion OF the Judge advocate 70 pre-
vail IL would be exceeding its authority.
and would take action that would dis
lntegrate the court itself and nullify all
its actions That would mean. he said,

court 10 do so would be going outside
