MONEY UNDER FALSE
PRETENSES.
That Is the Charge Against Al. Ster.
rett, Of Sterrett l. Metcalf.

A day or two ago AL. Sterre.t, who
was generally supposed to be the
Sterrett of the saloon firm of Sterrett
Il Metcalf, Of this city, lost heavily at
banking game in Oldham & Co. 5
saloon. He then borrowed $50 from
Jos. Is. Oldham, and shortly after gave
check for 500, receiving $40 in
change. This went with the other.
and the game progressed until Ster-
rett had lost 500. He then quit, Civ.
ing the firms check for $500. When
this check was offered at L. r. Jones's
bank, yesterday, it was dishonored, the
firm having no money there. Mr.. Old
ham thereupon attached the saloon of
Sterrett & Metcalf. The former then
claimed that the Sterrett of the firm
was John Sterrctt, brother living in
Oregon. The saloon was thereupon
re-opened. Shortly after MIR. Bartsch
attached and closed it again, for a
debt of 5000.
Mr.. Oldham then swore to a COM
plant, and AL. Sterrett was thereupon
arrested on a charge of obtaining
money under false pretenses. He was
taken before Justice Lennon this
morning, who placed him under
$1,000 bonds, to appear day after to-
morrow.
Sterrett claims that the cash book
of the firm of Sterrett & Metcalf will
show that there should be between
$1,000 and 1880 cash on hand.
This amount, he claims, should have
been in the bank to the credit of the
firm, when he gave the check.

HEWETC'S "ZIP" MUSETTES.
Their Very Entertaining Performance,
Miss Pears Second Sight.

Hewett's Musettes, which appeared
in this city last Saturday and Sunday
evening, are playing in ketchum, to
crowded houses, and will give fare
well performance in Haley Theater
tomorrow "wednesday evening. The
troupe comprises eight persons, all
f'rst-class actors, and Miss Eva Pear
and Mr. 1ewett are each show in
themselves. The entertainments con.
slst OF musical selections-vocal and
lnstrumental-and comedies and
farces. Miss Pear is one of the best
Second sight" performers ever seen.
Last Sunday evening, in this city, she
guessed the number, name and year
engraved on the watch of E. C.
Collin, of Coffin Bros, the prominent
hardware merchants of this city, who,
OF course, cannot be suspected of col
fusion with the "yucsser" A type
( I'd malk) wrapped up in a paper by
one of the TIMES boys who thought
he had 'poser," was also correctly
guessed. When Mr.. Hewett asked:
'What have l got in this paper?"
Miss Pear answered instantly: "Type.'
What letters are on this type?" was
the next question. 81 Pho, no, l.
o." was correct y given in answer.
Mr.. Hewett and two of the ladies'
OF the troupe are very accomplished
musicians, and an instrumental solo
by either of them is amply worth the
price of admission.

No freight arrived here this morn

time, it is probable that there was less
than a carload Of freight, and no
freight cars were brought further than
Shoshone.
Salt Lake City is not likely to re-
tain much, if any, of the Wood River
trade, as the prices of goods there are
much higher than they are East, while
the freight rates are quite as high as
they are from Omaha.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
An Alarming Blaze Caused in the
"rimes" Office Last Night.


About half-past o'clock last even
ing, while Foreman TRIAL was busy
working at the Peerless job press, the
lamp suspended IN hanger over the
press fell to the floor. AS it struck
the press 1t was smashed into many
pieces and the oil scattered over the
press and down on the floor. The
press and floor were previously thor
oughly saturated with oil, so that
when the lamp fell, large blaze at
once arose which enveloped the press
Two blankets were got at once, ana
half a dozen of the TINES boys (who
were all at work on brief work at the
tlme) began stamping out the fire.
Soon the TINES hose was attached to
the TINE, wei, and the fire was
flooded out.
AS the oil had dropped under the
floor, two boards were taken up before
the flames could be cxtinguished, but
the damage to the building, type, press,
e c., does not exceed $50.
There is no doubt that, but for the
non-inilammable character of the Gil
burned in the lamp, much more dam.
age would have been done, as, as
above stated, the press and floor were
thoroughly saturated with other oils.

General Cunningham's Condition.

DIR. Miller reports that General
Cunningham slept very well last night,
and that his wo md shows every indi.

month he will probably be entirely
well. The physicians tried all they
could to save the member, but the
bones were too shattered to admit of

The Assault on General Cunningham.

~ "SS""At VI UcneI0l CUNNINGHAM,
The preliminary examination OF
Wells, the railway station agent, of
likura, who is held on a charge of at
tempting to murder General Gun
n'nS ham, and Of Ja.es Toponce, held
as an accomp'ice, is set fort1-norrow,
at 10 O'Clock, before Probate Judge
Parsons. Five witnesses have been
brought up from Tihura by the de-
Tense, and those for the prosecution
will tie summoned to-day. AS Gen
eral Cunningham cannot be moved,
the Probate Judge and District At
torney will go out to the hospital to
take the Generals deposition.
From the known facts. in the case,
1t is probable that one or tie other of
the accused will be held to appear be-
fore the Grand Jury.

THE BULLION LOT.UWNERS.
Their Alarm Quoted by Professor Jen.
nev. who Agrees TO Give Them Deeds to
their Lots.

The breeze created in Bullion bv
the application filed by Professor
Jenney for a United States patent to
the Indian Queen mining claim, which
application covers part Of the town
OF Bullion, has been somewhat quoted
by the promise Of Professor Jenney-
which was given readily-to give an
absolute quit. claim deed to all i'm.
proved lots upon the payment of the net
cost of obtaining title to the ground
in dispute.
The citizens of Bullion employed
E. b. True, Deputy United States
Mineral Surveyor, to survey and plat
the townsite, and Professor Jenney.
having accepted the plat, is now issu-
ing agreements for deeds to lots, as
soon as called for.
DIR. Miller emp Dyed another sur
veyor-M. McFarlanl- 10 make a sur
vcy OF IA mineral claim which he owns.
and which he claims adversely to Pro-
lessor Jenney, and the papers in the
case have doubtless been filed in the
HALEY Land Office to-day, as this is
the last day of grace for such action to
be taken.
