Brother F. S. Richards has returned from Washing-
ton and brings us the intelligence that the acting Attorney General, in the
case submitted to him, has decided that the Temple Block in this city and the Council House corner shall be left free from molestation; but that the Tithing
Office property, the Gardo House and the Historian Office shall be submitted
to the court, for it to decide as to the ownership, whether it shall go to the
Receiver or be turned back to us. In the case of the Church Pasture, also,
there will be a suit at law to decide upon that, the facts connected therewith
being agreed to by both parties and submitted to the court for decision. The
government also claim, through the Receiver, the Cove Creek Ranch; and $5000.00
more is to be paid to quiet the title of the stock of the Deseret News Co. which
was transferred by President Taylor to the Literary and Scientific Association.
The other temples and the meeting-houses are not officially noticed, the under-
standing being that the title has never been in the Trustee-in-Trust and there-
fore they never have belonged to the corporation, and the acting Attorney General
thought they could not be claimed by the Receiver. Mr. Peters and Mr. Dyer have
returned from Washington, and the former is busy preparing papers and expresses
the hope that he will be ready to submit them to the Supreme Court at the
2
best results.
