THE MORRIS.MAMMOTH SUIT.
Commencement of Some Interest.
ing Mining Litigation To-Day.

The long-looked-for case of Elias Nor
ris VS.. the Mammoth Mining Company,
was commenced in court this morning,
with Williams, Young and Arthur Brown
for plaintiff, and Bennett, Hardness &
Kirkpatrick. and Judge Sutherland for
the defense. This suit, as the public are
aware, is brought to determine whether
the Mammoth Mining Company can be
held liable for improvements constructed
on the premises of the mine, supplies
furnished and money loaned by Mr..
Morris, while the gilt-edged fraud, Butler
Johnson, manipulated the affairs of the
Crismon- Mammoth mine at Tintic.
Mr.. Morris is the only one among the
many large creditors whom Johnson left
in the lurch who has refused to accept
the compromise offered by the company.
Nearly all of to-day's session was spent
in impaneling jury, and owing to the
technical character of the case the utmost
sollcitude was manifested on both sides,
lest some person either biased or other
wise incompetent should be allowed to
slip in one of the jurors chairs. The
work of obtaining the necessary twelve
was completed about 2 80 this afternoon,
and just as they arose to be sworn it was
discovered that one of the Jurors
had been excused from acting, and
an open venire was Immediately sent
out returnable forthwith. Following
are the eleven jurors already passed:
Ephralm Hatch, Joseph Barker. John
Wicket, Thomas Goodman, William
Irvine, Gromway Parry, Ethan Petit,
George G. Hardy, 0. d. Hendnekson,
Orson II. Worthington, Louis C. Shaw.

The Lead Market.

Lead has been the funny metal of the
past week, selling at various prices in va
rlous places, quite at variance with the
conventional order of things. All freight
differences seem to have been leveled. so
as to create practically flat uniform
price OF about SAFE to $3.50 all over the
country. Thus at New York over twelve
hundred tons were sold from $3.50 to
$3.50, closing at the lower price, while in
Chicago $50 tons were sold at $4.7 rs and
$3.50, closing at the higher price, and in
st. Louis 400 tons were sold at $4.75 for
both corroding and chemical, while the
question OF supplies there with lead from
Iron Mountain railroad district entirely
cut OIL, is very serious one. There have
been over three thousand tons bought
Tor shipment to New York from Europe.
and it is said that almost all of it is going
into consumption Immediately on arrival
There has been a row in the corroders'
camp and the price is to be lowered on
white lead half cent per pound, which
will Just about wipe out the profits. as
the discounts will reduce the net price
materially from $3.50. The entire situa-

Dean Bound Over.

The examination of witnesses in the
case of Joseph II. Dean was resumed this
afternoon before Commissioner Mckay,
but no testimony of a damaging character
was brought out. Nathan Eldredge, OF
Ogden, had been subpenaed among other
witnesses, but knew very little in regard
to Mr.. Deans family relations.
At the close of the testimony District
Attorney Dickson asked for continuance
till Friday morning, stating that several
important witnesses had mysteriouslv
disappeared. Mr.. James Ii. Movie,
Deans attorney, objected to any further
continuance on the grounds that no evil
dence whatever OF the defendants guilt
had been established
Commissioner Mckay thought differ
emily, and ordered that Dean give bonds
OF $4,000, and that the case 90 before the
Grand Jury tomorrow. The more i'm
portant witnesses were required to give
bonds OF 5000 each, and the rest of them
were excused.
Mr.. Mckay, in submitting his iudg-
ment, stated that it was not necessary in
his court to produce sufficient evidence to
convict man, but simply enough to
warrant his being sent up to the Grand
jury for an Investigation.

DEADLY DUEL AT TECOMA.
Two Mem Shoot to the Death Over
Disputed Dog.

News from Tecoma, Nevada, reached
the DEMOCRAT just as we We're going to
press that S. R. Worthington, we'll
known stock man OF Western Utah,
had fallen yesterday in a desperate
quarrel with some other party over
a disputed dog. 1t appears that
from angry words the parties came to the
use OF pistols, and the meagre report that
reached us says both men were killed in
the duel.
Scott" Worthington was we'll known
IN Salt Lake City, as we'll as throughout
most OF Utah, and his many friends will
be 10th to believe that he has met with SO
wretched a fate. The news, however,
while very brief indeed, is of character
which makes it decidedly credible.

The Snake River Ditch.

The busiest place in this part of the
country, says the Eagle Rock Register, is
up at the head of the ditch of the Mclean
Mining Company. About 12O men are
at work blasting and removing the lava
rock. The head of the ditch is an old
slough about quarter of mile long,
which during high water forms an island
between that and the main channel of
the river. At this point the ditch is about
forty feet wide and about fifteen feet deep.

OVER THE TELEPHONE WIRES.
The Rocky Mountain Company Elk.
perimenting In Long Distance
Talking.

The dispatches recently gave an &C
count of a telephone communication
being made between New York and Bos
ton, distance of something like III
miles, by the use OF the improved instru
ment which the Bell Company is expert
menting with. 1t will be remembered
that little more than two months ago Mr.
G. F.. Annett, OF the Rocky Mountain
Bell Telephone Company, transmitted
and received a perfectly audible reply to
a message sent from Ogden to Cheyenne,
distance of 553 miles. This local ex-
pertinent proved eminently satisfactory,
and MIR. Annett so reported to the parent
company in the East. Hearing that there
was some probability of this new instru-
ment coming into general use, our re-
porter called on President Annett this
morning for information.
The Bell company, said the gentleman,
has sent two of these instruments to
each licensed company throughout the
country for the purpose of instituting
thorough experiment. With the instru-
ments is sent a request to have those who
use them make the closest observations
OF their workings and report the results,
with such suggestions and hints as may
arise from the experiments. OF course
you can understand that the company is
anxious to attain the highest possible per-
lection in this new instrument before
making general substitution of it for
those now in use everywhere. AS soon
as it is determined that the experiment
has been sufficiently thorough the new
instruments will be manufactured in
large enough quantities to supplant all
the old ones that are now in use and pro-
vide great many additional besides, as
you know there would be an immediate
and extensive growth of patronage every
where where long distance instruments
become available. l regard it as only a
matter of little time when every instru-
ment in use in Salt Lake will be dis
placed by one of these improved annun-
ciators. OF course the use of the new in
strument will involve an increase of ex-
pense to the companies, as each instru-
ment will require four cells in the battery
instead of one, as at present. This will
make no advance of prices to patrons;
however, we expect to more than make
up the difference by the increase of bust
ness which will certainly follow. have
already sent orders for number of these
Instruments, and expect to make a very
extensive experiment with them.

would be a great benefit, and one that
would be widely appreciated, if long dis

people of the Gallatin valley. There
will probably be large party go on Sat-
urday from Bozeman and Mr.. Hill as
sures us that they will be well taken
care of by his company and Mr.. Strong
at the Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel.
The hotel is large and can accommodate
all without crowding anyone. 1t will be
much pleasanter visiting the park in
this way, for one IS bound 10 meet his
friends ON the trip. Mr.. Fee has always
had ti4e reputation of looking after the
interests Of the people on his line, and
the latest move will undoubtedly be
appreciated.

ALMOST KILLED.

One of the most dastardly crimes that
has ever occurred in this valley, was
enacted last Thursday on the premises
of B. F. Yerkes, z miles from Bezeman.
VIM. Beck is part owner Of a water ditch
which entities him to one-third of the
water; he has also been given permission
to use another third belonging to Jno.
Beck, neighbor. During this and
every other summer there have been
intense quarrels oyer this water between
VIM. Beck and a coterie of neighbors
Lawsuits, quarrels and fights have re-
suited, until the neighborhood is in
volved in feud, and the deputy district
attorneys assistance is invoked more
from this than any other section of the
county. Innocent farmers Whereabouts,
who have endeavored to remain neutral,
have had their dogs poisoned, cattle
MANNED, and suffered MANY other indig-
mites not known in a community of law
abiding citizens. During this summer
Mr., Beck has been put to considerable
trouble, and has had great difficulty in
obtaining the water due him. He would
no sooner turn it on than it would be
turned off by party of three boys, the
oldest Of whom is named Walker. Last
Thursday he went 70 the ditch, accom-
panied by his wife, young son and hired
man. While there, the boys rode up
on a run, one armed with. double-bar-
relied shotgun After some words, the
nature of which our informant was un-
able to state, the oldest threw rock at
Mr.. Beck as he stood beside his wagon,
knocking him down and cutting great
cash in his head. Mr.. Beck had his rifle
with him, but made no move to use it,
and before assistance could be rendered
him, he was severely beaten. He now
lies in a precarious condition and at
times Is out of his mind. The boys were
arrested by Marshal Clark, on warrant
issued by Judge Didawick, and are held
under bonds to await the results of Mr..
Beck's wounds.
Having full knowledge of this case.
we cannot desist from going into fuller
details than we usually accord to crimes
until after they are disposed of in the
courts of justice. The cause of law and
order demands the fullest investigation
of this case.
