The attach meat is at the instance of a fitaa of Xew Yorb lawyers who jliave a claim against thj Deseret 1 Dramatic eotdjiany of Silt Lake, I which is Backing the company. There is a!o due the players 1 $1,500. It wa-said to night that '.help is expected from Banker i rhatcher of Lqg'an, Utah, so the company may get out of town. In relation to the difficulty at Helena a member of the syndicate syndi-cate made a htatement today as fallows: The claim lox which our j scenery and the box receipts have been attached is not one that the syndicate can justly be held for., The claim is a fee of $250 exacted by a New York lawyer law-yer for drawing' up the cGnfcract between Manager Imhai;s and', the syndicate . The lawyer vpa.s employed by Mr. Lrihaus before? the latter had become" our man-1 ager- and it is altogether a per sonai matter. , The contract coh-s;sted coh-s;sted of about three pages and) was drawn up Jn a very brief j time, but the lawyer was not in 1 any sense retained by the syndicate., syndi-cate., Borne time ago we received a bill from the attorney for $250 ifor drawing up the contract, j We replied in a courteous letter I that we did not feel responsible for a bill contracted by Mr. Im-haus Im-haus before he had been employed em-ployed by us; that we looked upon the fee as very excessive, but if he felt that the syndicate should pay a fair proportion of it he might segregate and we would pay some attention to his claim. The next word we re- 1 ccived was from Helena notifying notify-ing us of the attachment. Mr. Thatcher left yesterday for Helena and hewill no doubt ad-just ad-just the difficulty, and the play will go on tilling the dates that J haye been fixed." : "As to the Sl.oOO that are due ' the members of the company, I know nothing about, that is a matter for the manager to look after. , The company played to a I paying business in Utah, but I what they have done the past week I do not know.
