Mayor John S. Bransford is a scholar

knowledge of the law of gravltation

to the fact that. according to a GER

Isaac Newton. everything is pulled
down hill by an invisible force and
that this holds particularly true when
snow Is on the ground and the afore-
said boy-or-girl is on a sled. And

the vicinity of Twelfth East would

force propels a sled uphill

CASE REMANDED
FOR NEW TRIAL
Supreme Court Takes Exception
To Mathematical Methods
Of Fourth District.
INVOLVES LAND TRANSACTION
Higher Tribunal Says Findings Arc
Too Indefinite and Sends Case
Back for Revision.

Martha {. Miller sued the Mt Nebo
Land & Irrigation company in tho
Fourth district court at Provo, Hon
]. f. Booth, Judge, to compel a con-
Ncyance of two parcels OF land tho ir-
rlgation company had contracted with
her TO convey To her and for damages
amounting to the alleged sum of
$1.03S.75 caused by the irrigation COM
pany's failure to deliver water TO the
land as agreed. A jury assessed her
damages caused by failure to furnish
water AT $500 on one parcel and $50
on the other. Judge Booth made find-.
ings as to payments by Mrs. Miller
on the scontracts. and found after al
lowing credit for the damages assessed
by the jury that she was still owing
S601.00 and gave judgment for that
amount together with interest and
costs. The case was appealed to the
supreme court on the judgment roll
opinion in the case sending 1t back
for new trial
FINDINGS INDEFINITE.

findings of fact are too indefinite and
uncertain on which 20 base any judg-
ment that can be allowed to stand
In the opinion ii Is figured out that
Mrs. Miller cannot we'll be owing the
irrigation company anything IL the
judges findings are TO be followed and
the ordinary rules OF mathematics ap-
piled as the contract price for the first
parcel was 81, $50. 90 and the irrigation
company admitted payment of cash
of S274.00 and $597T5 TO labor to
which must be added the $4,000 al
lowed by the jury as damages. max
ing a total payment Sl.2A5.25. Yet
the court found that on that con-
tract she was stu owing S610. The
figuring on the second contract seems
as uncertain. Tho supreme court there
fore sends the case back to see If the
attorneys trying the case and the judge
cannot be n little more certain in their
figuring on another trial. Justice
