WOOD AND FEED SUIT
INVOLVES MUCH LAW

Sometimes you can hear more law
quoted in a petty justice court trial
in FIVE minutes than you can hea~ in
the supreme court IN sc mary
months.
Attorneys c. e. Handwright and
C. A. Eddy were battling over a silt
between Jack Wright and James
Douglas for SIS for four cords o.
wood and the feeding of a horse.
Mr.. Eddy challenged Wright's right
to sue, reading from the common law
to show that a convict could he sued
end could defend a suit but could no.
sue. Judge Mcdonald ruled that
Wright as a paroled convict was IN
titled to his day in court.
Wright swore that ;he wood vas
ordered by Mrs. Douglas. since de
ceased. Mr.. Eddy quoted from the
Nevada statutes that testimony re-
gardipg a transaction with a deceased
person could not be admitted and 1t
was stricken. This would not affect
a transaction but would tend to pre-
vent a plaintiff from proving his
case. When Wright testified that he
had never asked Douglas for the
money Mr.. Eddy promptly moved for
a nonsuit, but Wright managed to
slip in the words that he had told
Douglas that If il were not paid he
would hold his horse, previously be-
ing used for its feed, and charge 81
a day from that time for its feed.
Mr.. Eddy resisted the right of a per-
son to hold a horse with an accumu-
lating feed bill for another debt.
Douglas claimed the wood was
furnished by Alex Young, who owed
him for board for himself and chill
dren and still owes him over $500.
He had credited him SIS for the
wood at the time. Wright had ad-
mitted that Young had helped haul
the wood. Douglas identified a bill
of sale for a team from Young to
Mrs. Douglas, saying 1t was given as
a mortgage to partially secure the
board bill, and one of the horses had
vanished.
Douglas had accused Mr.. Hand
wright of imp~ersonating a deputy
sheriff in trying to collect the bill.
This the attorney holly denied an.
der oath.
Judge Mcdonald took the matter
under Amusement and will render his
decision during the ensuing week.

TO RESUME DRILLING
IN OIL WELL At ELKO

Tools and casing for the Elko oil
well were received Monday from Cal

in seven days from its arrival, ar
cording to reports received from

thousand feet of four and one-half
inch casing were in the shipment.
The four and a half inch casing
will be placed inside the present six
inch casing and when the well Is a

pulled and the other used perma-
nently.
1t was difficult TO get the material,
it having been under contract to the
Standard Oil Company for the busy
California fields. and only through
the influence of Geologist Hook was
IL possible to obtain a release of a
portion of II. Otherwise IL would
have meant a wait of four months te
get casing from the factory. The
well is down about 1000 feet.

HIGH SUGAR TO KILL
UTAH FRUIT INDUSTRY

The way the price Of sugar keeps
up 1t makes things look dreary for
the fruit business. The crop this
year. unless it vas seriously dam
aged by frost in the last two weeks.
will be far greater than last year,
and hat was a record one IL is not
believed here that the frost of two
and a half weeks ago was general.
Ii is not so reported By the weather
offices.
People naturally will buy consid-
cradle fruit for immediate use, but
when it comes to buying for pre-
serving il is a different matter. That
is when they count the cost of the
sugar, for the canning represents the
big sugar purchases. The compare
lively small amount of fruit bought
for table use is purchased and con
sumed without giving thought TO the
sugar that it takes. but even that is
not to be overlooked, for it amounts
TO as much in proportion.
Fruit sold by the case for preserv-
ing may go cheap this year. and
largely so on account Of the exorbi-
tant price of sugar, but when it
comes to paying as much or more for
the sugar to put it up, it is feared
that housewives will hesitate and
make their fruit purchases sparingly.
Rather than be a boon for Utah on
account of its beet sugar industry
the high price Of sugar is seen as an
actual curse to the state. The fruit
industry is of greater Importance to
Utah than the sugar industry. and
the former will be Frustrated.

HARRINGTON DECIDES
AGAINST LIGHT RATE

From the standpoint of public in
terest one of the most important de
cisions that has been rendered in the
courts tom many months was that
handed down by Judge harrington in
the United States district court last
week in the case of the Reno Power.
Light and Water Company against
the public service commission of Ne
vada.
In March, 1921, the company filed
with the commission a new schedule
of rates and charges, increasing its
then rates about 80 per cent, to be-
come effective the 10Th of the fol-
lowing month.
June 10, 1921. based upon an
opinion written by Governor Scru-
CHAM, then a member of the commits
sion, and concurred in by Chairman
j. F.. Shaughnessy. the commission
entered an order disappearing the
new schedule on he ground that the
rates then in force were just and rea-
sonable to the public and should

fair and reasonable value of the prop
erty of the company. All increase
whatever in rates was denied.
Suit was then commenced in the
federal court by the company to OBJ
tain an injunction restraining the
commission from enforcing the or.
der. A temporary restraining order
and Injunction pendente lite was is
sued, under which the company was
permitted TO collect the rates pro-
vided in its proposed schedule, but
only on condition that all amounts
so collected in excess of what should
have been collected in accordance
with the order of the commission DE
deposited in the Farmers and Mer-
chants National bank of Reno.
In a lengthy opinion and decision
Judge Harrington ably discusses the
matter of public utilities from n
standpoint of valuation and their du-
ties toward the public. He upholds
the public service commission in its
order and the sweeping victory for
the people of Reno and Sparks. where
the company renders its public ser
vice, has since been a matter of gen
eral celebration.
Since the granting of the tempo
rary injunction and in accordance
with the terms thereof the amount
collected by the Reno Power, Light
and Water Company from the people
IL serves in excess of the amount that
the company was entitled TO collect
under the commissions order, and
which under the order of the court
must be returned to he consumers.
has reached an amount in excess Of
ST., 900. To several of the larger
consumers, such as hotels. restau-
rants and other business houses, the
amounts to be received rs a refund
will run into the thousands. while to
every patron of the company the re-
turn will amount to a payment OF
their gas bills for several months.
The opinion and decision by the
court. when taken as a whole, is a
distinct victory for the people and re-
fleets credit upon the commission for
accomplishment in the public inter-
est. Since the confirmation of the
opinion of Governor Scrugham by the
federal Judge the chief executive has
been showered with congratulations
from every section OF the state.

P. R. R. DENIES ATTEMPT
TO BREAK RAIL UNION
BY the Associated Press.


PHILADELPHIA, Pa, November 1s,
Denial of conspiracy on the part
of officials of the Pennsylvania rail-
road to 'break" the Brotherhood of
Railway Clerks and Station Employees
was made in an answer filed in the
federal court yesterday by counsel
FOR the road to a petition by the
brotherhood seeking an injunction to
prevent the company from disregard
ing orders of the United States Rail-
road Labor Board
The brotherhood's petition accused
the railroad of attempting to break"
the union by refusing to confer with
Its representatives on wage and
working conditions. The company. in
Its answer, declared it had adopted a
plan of selecting representatives of
the employees on wage conferences to
which a majority of the men had
agreed. Technical grounds were put
forth designed to show that the broth
erhood had no equitable right to file
the suit, which the court is asked to
dismiss and place the. costs on the
brotherhood. Because the court is
cjogged with civil Jury trials, Judge
Dickinson today postponed indefi-
nitely the hearing on the brother
hoods injunction.
