At a session of the Territorial Supreme Court, held in Salt Lake City, Chief Justice Charles S. Zane delivered an opinion in the case of the United States versus the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, confirming a decision of the lower court, and authorizing the use of the personal property of the Church under the direction of a trustee, for the building and repairing of houses of worship and the support of the poor. The court appointed Bishop Leonard G. Hardy trustee, and fixed his bonds at $500,000.
