UTAH.
The Conspiracy Case.

SALT LAKE, December 23d.-The con-
spiracy trial of Brig. Hampton drew a
larger crowd than ever to-day. Policeman
Saloman testified that defendant gave Mrs
Fields money; had a contract with her to
get into the house and see what was going
on; room was fitted up for the police to
20 in and see what was done.
United States Commissioner Mckay
swore that he received note from the
Fields woman, asking him to call, but he
did not comply. She then called on
the law against assignation houses.
She refused to say who sent
her. He told her he would send her up for
five years, if the evidence warranted it.
p. H. Lannan, of ,he Tribune. also re-
ceived note, asking him to call on bust
ness. He called in the middle of the after
noon. Fields told him she was fond OF
fun, and thought he was. She invited him
to call again, when she would have beau
tiful girl from Denver. He congratulated
her on the prospect of one beauty in the
house, and left THE woman is old and
ugly)
Members of the Grand Jury swore that
Hampton told them he had hired the wo.
men as detectives" had paid $3.50 in all
money furnished, and some hundreds oil
his own.
Francis Armstrong, County Selectman
swore that he furnished Hampton money
but didn't know it was to open houses OF
ill-fame and lure people into them sup
posed it was to break up street-walking and
male followers.
The character of the house kept by Mrs
Fields was shown by others to be an assig-
nation house, and the defense rested.
In the afternoon, Hampton testified in
his own behalf. He acknowledged that he
bad dealt with Fields. The contract was
to pay her $25 for each man caught; there
was no special persons or premiums; didn't
engage her TO open a house, as she already
had one opened. In July last was in San
Francisco, negotiating for a female de.
tectiye to come here and work with them;
Molle Woodward was the woman; ar
ranged with man named Goldstone tC
close the transaction; sent $500 to him. but
the woman didn't come; got 5000 or SC
back
Other policemen corroborated the con.
tract, and the amount to be paid for each
man caught; they also corroborated the
statement that the move was in the interest
OF morality, and had no sinister end in
view. They wanted to break up the whole
business of prostitution.
The defense closed, and the Court ad
joUrned. It will hear the arguments to-
morrow

Or Standard of December 18th SAYS:
Yesterday afternoon it was necessary for
United States Marshal Kelly to send Dep
uty George Smith on board the British bark
Director to get service on witness who is
needed in the case of Balfour, Guthrie &
Co. against the vessel. Deputy Smith was
met at the cabin-door by Captain Bogart of
the bark, and pistol put in his face, with
the threat that he would blow a hole
through any man who dared to enter the
cabin. The attorney, J. A. Campbell, and
detectives Barry and Simmons were all
there, but no interference was made with
the Captain at that time Mr.. Smith went
back to District Attorney Watson and
swore out complaint for Captain Bogart's
arrest, and he was forthwith secured by an
armed posse and taken before Judge
Deadly, who released him on his own re-
cognizance to appear for trial when the
case is called. He cannot get away, and
the case Will be interesting because there is
heavy penalty attached to such an of
tense. The vessel is in the care of custo-
dian, who has permitted the Captain to
stay on board, although he has no legal
right there, as the vessel and 10000 bags of
wheat are under attachment. 1t became
known to the Marshal that an important
witness in the case was hid on the bark,
and the Deputy was after the fellow when
confronted by the Captain, whose conduct
strengthened the belief about the witness.
The latter has not been found yet.

A STRUGGLE FOR LIFE.-We find the
following in the Red Bluff Sentinel of De-
cember 10Th:
As NJ. R. Hook and wife were coming to
town this morning from their country resi-
dence they observed chicken hawk trying
to catch teal duck. The hawk made
several passes at the duck, both flying
rapidly through the air, before it caught it.
They both fell to the ground, but soon
were in the air again, and few a quarter of
a mile, when the duck fell into a pool of
water The hawk again made several
frantic efforts to catch the duck, darling
down into the water, but the duck still had
life and power enough to elude the hungry,
vicious little hawk. By this time Mr..
Hook caught the duck and brought it to
town. The left wing was injured, and q
piece of flesh and feathers torn out where
the bill connects with the head, the hawk
evidently having hold of the duck with its
claws at that place, and when the claws of
the hawk tore loose the duck fell to the
ground. Mrs. Hook will consign the duck
to her poultryyard and domesticate it, if
possible.

A CALIFORNIA Senator is ILL., Not so i'll
that his death is imminent, and yet so bod
lily afflicted that death may result, though
the gentleman may live to advanced years.
He himself contemplates an early resump-

expects his full recovery. Yet in the face OF
these facts, there are journalistic gessips in
that modern Gomorrah, Washington, who
have fallen to discussing the question OF
his possible successor, and they are naming,
too, men who are not representative of the
people of California. Regard for the COM

Body of Deputy sheriff Murphy Found

PRESCOTT, December 23d.-The body of
Deputy Sheriff John NJ. Murphy was found
last night buried in the cellar of Dilda, by
whom he was murdered Sunday night.
An inquest was held yesterday on the body
of the murdered man, which was brought
to Prescott. 1t was shown that Murphy
was shot from an ambush. The murderer
is still at large, with the Sheriff7s posse and
Indian trailers in pursuit. Another man is
reported missing to-day. The last seen of
him was when he was going to Dilda's, ten
days ago. 1t is thought that Dilda muir
dered him, and the fear of arrest for that
crime induced the murder of the Deputy
Sheriff
