The time of Judge Rolapp and a jury has been occupied today in the trial of the case against Ella Curtis Garlick, the Kaysville woman accused of setting fire to Swan & Co. Saloon on the night of February 24, 1899. The defense set up the plea of temporary insanity and to prove it put the defendant on the stand. She testified she was periodically afflicted with St. Vitus Dance (a nerve disorder characterized by involuntary jerky movements, also including emotional or behavioral problems) , and that certain conditions, peculiar to her sex, had rendered her extremely nervous. Her husband came home drunk and in one of her nervous spells, the deed of which she is accused, was committed. At 4:30pm the case went to the jury. No verdict has yet been rendered.

• A deliberate attempt was made to burn down Swan and Sons Co. Saloon. Fires were kindled at both the rear and side doors of the building. The timely arrival of bartender Woolsey no doubt saved that and nearby buildings, the Proudfoot home, Barber shop and Confectionary and Hyrum Stewarts Mercantile store from being burned. There are two theories. The first one a woman driven to desperation because her husband is a frequent patron or the other theory is too indefinite and improbably to publicly comment on (what happened revealed in later series)
