Sequel to q Lynching.

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH Oct. IA
letter was received by Acting Governor
Thomas Of Utah, yesterday, from Senator
Iugalls of Kansas, in relation to the
lynching of John Murphy by vigilantes
in Park City, Utah, several weekq
ago. The Senator says that Murphy
was former resident of his
county in X insas, and was good neigh
Dor, and he appeals to the Governor to
offer reward for the apprehension Of the
vigilantes. There are no funds at the
command of the Governor for this pur-
pose. The sympathy of the people in the
section in which the lynchipg was done
is with the vieilsntes and tine grand jury,
which adjourned on Monday, failed to
indict any OF them, although the case
was brought before il. This ia ths case
ia which the vigilautes compelled a
railroad conductor to take his train at
midnight ard carry them from Park to
Coslville, where they took Murphy from
jail, carried him back to Park City and

The BIackbtrd Forest Terror Quails
Before the Law.

From yesterdays Eyey Evening
John Wood, known as the tsrr0r of
Blackbrd forest, pleaded guilty to the
charge OF carrying on the retail ltqnor
business in violation of the law, before
Judge Bradford, sitting IN United States
Court this morning. Wood was brought
before the court soon after it CONVEX ed
this morning aud placed in the dock.
The charge of selling liquor without q
license was then read to him by United
States District Attorney Patterson. Judge
Bradford then repeated the charge to the
prisoner, who stood trembling in the
dock, and asked If he pleaded guilty or
not guilty. Wood, seeing his former
forest patrons VINO paa b-e'' summoned
to testify again At him in The corru room,
replied to the heterogeneous Of the court:
Guilty. sold liquar, hut am sorry
for it,"
After few moments the Court said
that the case was most aggravated one,
but the age of the prisoner ane other cir
cumstances would he considered ard n
light ssntt imposed. The Court then
sentenced Wood to tour months inpris-
onment, 800 tlnsand costs OF pFoseeu
tiop (abou. $l75.)
A s1ade OF disappointment spread over
the prisoners face when the sentence
was pronounced, as he afterwsrd stated
that he did not expect to get over one
month. The prisoner YVES atttfwsrd
taken back to New Castle aud his cell in
the county jail.
Prison life sadly disagrees with the
sturdy forester, and his close coptinem ent
has worn away tae healthy, rudy glow
of his face, which wss so cons picuous
when he first fell into the clutches Of
Marshal McMullen.

larger shadow which surrounds the real
aud direct shadow of the earth) shortly
before l. p. M, but this portion of the
eclipse was alike imperceptible with or
without the telescope. 1t was about !
III. when the moon entered the darker
shadow aud the perceptible eclipse began,

Though the eclipse was rather disappoint-

announced that upon the advice OF his
physicians he would not hear the case

Anthony Higgins, Esq Of counsel for

Judge Bradford refused the order and
confirmed his opinion that the liabilities

we're not affected by the act of c0ns0lida-
ton.
Mr. Higgins then asked permission to
file an amendment to the plaintiffs
declaration, setting forth from the test
mony of the engineer OF the Junction x

plaintiff had furnished material and work
to the amount of 100000 on ths road
when the contract was rescipded, aud
that the plaintiff had been prevented

stock in accordance with the contract.
Mr.. Spruance objected to the amend
ment and asked that all costs incurred
up to this time be placed upon the plain
tiff, and that 80 days be given to answer.
The Court decided to allow the amend
ment, ruling that the plaintiff BIS held
liable to the cost of amendment, and that
80 days be given the defense to reply.
