Friday evening last, George H. Utter smashed in one of the windows of the Silver City Water Works company’s office and with two men took possession. Thos. Foster, repre- senting the trust company, had Mr. Utter ar- rested for breaking into the premises of the company. Mr. Utter, in turn, swore out a com- plaint against Mr. Foster alleging that he had, too, broken in and taken possession of the com- pany’s office some three weeks previous. The case against Mr. Utter was dismissed on a tech- nicality. Mr. Foster was tried and the case dismissed. It is expected that a receiver will be appointed to take charge of the business.
