Judge A. V. Watklns, who heard the case rendered a decisslon Saturday wblcta (n substance found that the commissioners, J. W. Gill-man Gill-man and . A. O. Smoot had exceeded their powers In with, holding the salaries sala-ries of the deputies. Along with the decisslon against these two commissioners commis-sioners the cost of court were assessed assess-ed against them personally. This matter of costs is a point of ' law which has been upheld In several In stances where officials - nave " over stepped their official perogative. -l Trouble Is Result ef Election Fight This trouble is a result of Jb fall election" wherein these particular deputies, who happened to be of. the opposite political faith, to Messrs Gillman and Smoot and opposed them In the election. In the evidence Mr. Smoot admitted that he and Mr. Gill-man Gill-man : had written Sheriff J. D.' Boyd a letter in December telling him not to appoint George Davis or CD. Coates as deputies. Yet they said they had no particular fault to find with their work or actions as depu ties and no action to file. Following the disregard for the early notice the two commissioners In regular session voted to withhold the salary checks of these three' men, the other com missloner, Charles White,- voting to pay them; After due tlma aa4-plead- ings from county officials and Democratic Demo-cratic -pirty leaders of "Provo with the two commissioners - there was naught else to do but bring a suit to force payment, which resulted in the above decisslon. , Cooncll For Defendents Appeals Case, Assistant County Attorney Dun ford filed notice of appeal with the court after a futile attempt to alter the final findings In the case.
