A BAD PRACTICE,

The danger of allowing accounts as
the State Land Board has done, TO at
torneys forf service suggested by them
Selves ought to be apparent to all The
case was where an attorney notified the
State Land Board of a sut that had
been brought against it, (and even prior
to such notification the employment of
himself was extended by the Board)
and was employed TO defend the suit
which he had brought to it's attention.
1t would seem as though the Board
would not need TO be informed in this
way of any suit brought against it, or
of any suit in which it openly had any
interest whatever, \ suit brought
against an individual, firm. corporation
or entity of any sort must, under the
law, be accompanied by q notice to
the party sued that an action has been
begun and of the cause and nature of
that action. The Board would there
fore under the law be entitled to have
notice OF such suit before any attorney
acting in its interest would he informed
OF 1T This is the wholesome, lawful
rule governing court procedure. To
have any other form of procedure would
be to invite laXity, negligence, and put,
up Jobs.
If the State Board has no other way
OF ascertaining that it. is sued than
the voluntary notification to that eff
feet by attorneys in different parts of
the State, then snap Judgment is liable
to be taken against it at any time
Then, further, there are attorneys so
anxious to obtain business and fees that
they would take an active part in see
ing that suits are brought from time to
time. This, of course, is no personal
reflection upon the attorney who fig
ured In this case nor is it meant to be.
We simply make the observation in a
general way, as an illustration of the
danger of such lax methods as the Board
seems to have pursued in this case
We point out. therefore, that the
Board has opened wide the door for
abuses IN this matter, and suggest the
necessity Of its passing a resolution that
it will not consider this case as pre-
cedent, but will hold itself free to select
its own counsel in case counsel Us needed
in any action brought against it in any
of the courts of the State The prece-
dent is certainly dangerous one and
it behooves the Board to break the force
of it at the earliest possible time.

H1LToN's STORY AMENDED.

Heretofore The Tribune has credited
Elder Thomas Hilton, one of our Nor
mon new polygamists, with having two
wives. The Tribune was slightly mis-
taken, because it did not learn all the
facts at the time.
Elder Hilton, it will be recalled by
Salt Lakers, was once the church chief
of police of this city, There was a
scandal on account Of his indiscreet re-
lations with his wife's younger sister,
and he fled to Mexico, where he married
the girl in plurality under the Mormon
polygamous system. But it appears now
that Elder Tom later became more
polygamously ambitious. Evidently the
talk over his first escapade in this di-
rection rendered it somewhat difficult
for him to again add to his coniugal
partnerships. Officials of the church
were fearful of getting into trouble by
granting further permission to one so
notoriously under the public eye. But
Elder Tom knew trick that was worth
much to him in the achievement of his
lecherous desire, They say that he be-
came particularly attentive TO n Miss
Spencer, of Dublan, Mexico, and that
finally the two became very intimate
so much so. indeed, that the church of
fcials were obliged to performs n mar
rage ceremony rendered compulsory by
Elder Hilton IS activity, and which was
permitted as ''the best way out of a
bad Job - The girl was daughter OF
the Elder Spencer whom we have re-
Gently named as being also new Polyg-
amist. So that in the list Elder Tom
Hilton ought really to count two.
Inasmuch as the Mormon church has
allowed Elder Hilton to 20 so far with
out any interference whatever, we now
stand rendy to record the fact when he
gets ready to take on a fourth inmate oil
/ his multiplying harem,
