Death Of a Stranger Oh the Summit of
the Big Butte.

Wednesday afternoon a gentleman
by the name of Buchanan, who is en-
gagged in mining west of the city.
neal the Big Butte, called at the
Sheriff's office and notified Deputy
Lellair that he had discovered q nan
either dead or dying on the summit
of the Butte. The official at once
procured assistance and accompa-
MED by Mr.. Buchanan proceeded to
the spot, where they discovered in a
dying stage a man Of good physique,
past middle age, with grey hair and
beard. Although still alive he could
make no response to the inquiries
addressed him but indicated by mo-
ton that there was something the
matter with his left side. The
stranger Was placed in the convey
ance and carried to the Sisters Hos
pital where every attention was rem
dered him but he was too far gone and
without being able to make any
PLANTATION bylwt ich his identity could
be established, he fingered until 6
o'clock yesterday morning when he
died. The stranger was cOmLara-
lively we'll dressed and his appear
ance indicated that he was a man in
r,ore than average circumstance, but
Just how or why he climbed the
Butte and laid down to perish will
always remain a mystery. The cause
of death may have been hunger or
opiates or exposure or even liquor,
but his appearance would not indl-
cate the latter. In the afternoon
Coroner Whitford held an INCEST,
but as after diligent inquiry no one
seemed to know him, and as the only
paper or clue found on his person
was a pawn ticket in the name of
nothing could be done but
a verdict that an unkno vn
man had died from exposure. The
poor stranger Will be buried to-day at
the expense Of the authorities.

SUAKIM, May l4.-1he brigade of
Guards has been ordered home.
LONDON, May a. Negotiations
are proceeding with Turkey, for the
latter's occupation of Suakim and
the Soudan, on the following basis /:
The Porte engages to assist in sup
pressing the slave trade and in de-
velOping external commercial reIa-
tions. Besides the formal proposals
made through Fehmi Pasha, if the
Por q accepts, an English company
will obtain the option of securing a
concession to construct a railway to
Berber. and will receive other trad
ing rights. Granville is also nego-
tiating with the Italian Government
concerning the alternative scheme
for the occupation of the Red Sea lit
toral, in event Of a failure to come to
an agreement with the Porte. The
Reform and Rossegna, of Rome, and
other liberal italian papers, are OPP
posed to 1t tlian occupancy # Egypt,
unless England promises armed sup
port in the event of Italy being in-
volved in a European quarrel. The
italian military journal, Esercito,
approves the occupation of Egypt by
Italy.

A TRANQUIL Nervous system,

I've and assimilative organs are in a stsle of
chronic disorder. Weak stomachs make weak
nerves. To restore vigor a d quietude to the
Latter, the first must be invigorated and regula-
the nerves for awhile, but they can never, like
Hostetter's stomach Bitters, remove the causes
of nervous debility. That superb invigorant
and corrective of disordered conditions Of the
alimentary organs, has also the effect of tmpart-
ing tone to the ne, yes. The delicate tissues of
which they are constituted, when weakened in
consequence of Impeachment of the blood,
resulting from imperfect digestion and assimi-
lation, draw strength from the fund of vitality
developed in the system by the Bitters, which
imparts the required impetus to the nutritive
functions OF the stomach, enriches The circula-
ton, and kives tone and regularity to the secre-
tive and evacuative organs.

During the visit of Coles circus TO
Butte last summer, several men we're
arrested for picking pockets and COM
mi ting other depredatlons upon the
spectators. The head of the gang
was known as Frank A. Madden,
and he was required to give $1,000

tembar term of the court. When the
Time arrived Maddler was missing,
aud the fond was declared forfeited,
and paid. Yesterday Deputy Sheriff
LeClair saw the man on the street,
and promptly arrested and lodged
him in Jail, where he still remains.
The prisoner stoutly denies his guilt,
but the officer and other witnesses
are sure he is the right man. One
inlng is sure, he will have to prove
MS Innocence to competent authority
before he Is released.

Indicating q Relapse.

NEW YORK. May H.-Yesterday
was acknowledged to be a 'bad day"
for General Grant. He suffered with
his throat and could only speak with
difficulty. The afternoon brought
him no relief, even though it brought
DR.. Douglas, and it was not until
early this morning that he fell into a
slumber, superinduced by an extra
dose of morphine. A few hours later
he awoke feeling a little easier. but
not at all improved in his general
condition. DR.. Douglas statements
imply that the General is not improv-
ing in the same ratio as hitherto, the
weather having a very depressing in
fuence.
IL o.. m.-General Grant was a little
easier this evening. Fred. Grant
and DR.. Douglas state that he Is
a very sick man.

Them I'm Utah.

SALT LAKE, May IA special
dispatch to the Tribune dated at
Blackfoot, Idaho, May 18th, says:
Last Saturday three deputies visited
Paris, Idaho, to arrest eight persons
charged with illegal cohabitation.
They found an assemblage at the
Westinghouse. The chief Mormons,
the ones wanted, being inside, the
deputies attempted to enter, but were
refused admission, under the claim
that the meeting was q private one.
The doors were locked and guarded
on the inside and out. The deputies
bantered to go in, and were given to
understand that they would be
severely dealt with if they attempted
to do 30. There was no chance to ar
rest the men, AZ the crowd was 80
determined. The deputies left. fol-
lowed by a part Of the crowd. The
constable was n of them. The
deputies went out of town until the
crowd dispersed. That afternoon
the deputies arrested Sam. Hum
phrey, who was out of town, and Mr..
Simpson, and took them to Mont
pelier. On Sunday they brought the
prisoners to Blackfoot, after an at
tempt had been made at Montpelier
to rescue them from the officers. The
deputies telegraphed to Marshal Du-
bois. and on Sunday he took a special
train to Montpelier, arriving there
Monday morning. He called at the
places of all the county officers, but
none of them were there. He searched
two OF three houses, but found no
one that was wanted. At least $50
Mormons were on the street, but no
resistance was offered. Dubois had
warrants for nearly all the officers,
who are polygamists, and were
wanted on charges under the new
laws of the Territory.
To-day John D. Jones OF Malad
pleaded guilty to unlawful cohabita-
ton, and was fined $500 and costs.
About fifteen similar cases are on the
docket and more to come.
