'V a TU CAIh VCHOOI. Of the Third District Court of tMs Territory, the case of the Gentile against the Trustees of the Seventh Ward district Tp tax-paye- -- rs school, was opened on Jan, 2nd. A special tax hud been voted for the erection of a school building by a majority of the Mormon votes of the district; but the Gentile residents brought action to restrain the Trustees from the collection of the tax, on the ground that the school was sectarian in its character. A large number of witnesses from various parts of the territory were examined to establish the general sectarian character of the so ceiled public school system.

Before leaving the gate he called me hack and asked me if 1 was a Mormon. I told him no, and he then informed mo that it v ould be useless to call on the other trustees, as it was not the custom of the trustees to employ Another nay but Mormon teachers. 1878 school in and for a teacher applied was asked if lie was a Mormon; said he was not. The Bishop replied that they were not in the habit of employing persons outside of the church, but in consi deration of Ins relationship to Mormons an exception would be made m Ins case.

The reason why the trustees had referred the matter to John Taylor was because they had once employed a Gentile teat her, for which they were hauled over the coals by the bishop na meeting, and they did not propose to again employ a Gentile flclmol teacher without Inning some higher authority than their ow n. ihuice, witness did not get the position in the Ogden school. Another one stated that one of the conditions of his employ nvn? was that if he opened the a dh prayer, if must be a Mormon pruiji r, or none at .all At the end of nine months this witness was dismissed because the trustees had been directed by the authorities m Salt Lake, that no Gentile must be employed to teach in any of the district schools. Another testified that he had taught m several schools, and that on one day in each month the schools were Jismla ed for Fad meeting.''
