The case of Charles Floyd. charged
with battery on Dan T. Collctt, sccrc-
tary Of the Merchants and Manufacture
ers' association, was dismissed IN po-
lice court Thursday afternoon. The
case of Leonard a. Blackner, charged
with a similar offeuse, was taken under
advisement by Judge j. j. Whitaker,
and the cases against the two men
charged with destruction of property
were dismissed.
The men were charged by Collett
with having battered him while they
were taking from the display rooms OF
the Merchants and Manufacturers as
sociation, in the Vermont building, a
! show case which had been displayed
there by the Brunswick Balke.Collender
company. At the trial Thursday after
certa that Blackner had struck hlm,
and he was positive that Floyd had not
committed an assault, which caused
Judge Whitaker TO take the action
above mentioned. IL was charged that
in removing the case, against the wish
of Mr.. Collett, the men had damaged
the flooor of the display room, but this
case was ordered thrown out of court
shortly after it had been started.

" Paulson manager Of the Bruins
wick Balke-CclleDder company, feels
that the statements made by Mr. Col
lett with reference to the refusal to

from the Merchants and Manufacturers
display rooms. has done him an injuS-
tice. He states that some four months
ago Mr. Collctt ordered from his com
pany fifty display cases, the agreement
being that each merchant or exhibitor
buying one of the 1ases would pay the
Brunswick. BaIkc-Collender company; di-
rect, After ninety days. Mr.. Paulsou
states, very few of the eases had been
disposed of, because the exhibitors
found they could get cheaper rates by
using .'wall" space. Mr. Collett, he
says, claimed that the exhibitors were
"sorc' because the display eases were
not made in Utah, when, as matter
of fact. Mr.. Paulsou declares. most Of
the eases were manufactured right here
at the compauy's factory. where all
Kinds and classes OF that work is be-
ing daily turned out.
