ANOTHER PHASE OF 81. & H.
For ways That Arc Dark and
Tricks That Are vain, the salt
Lake officials Are Peculiar.

A decidedly sensational affair came to
light this afternoon which gives new
phase to the L. & l.. cases, as well as to
some other matters which at least por-
ton of the public are interested in. The
facts were obtained from some Of the
parties directly concerned in the affair,
and are incontrovertible. They are, in
brief as follows:
One of the persons, whose name is
known to have been on that list which
Sheriff Groesbeck carries in his port
manteau, and who gave bonds some
time ago for his appearance when he
should be wanted, came into Judge
Speirs' court this morning in accordance
with some arrangement which had been
kept extremely quiet, and indicated his
readiness to plead not guilty. He had
already been led to understand that by
changing his plea to guilty he could have
the matter quietly fixed up without any
noisy trial or other publicity. The party
evidently came to the City Hall this
morning expecting to find present some
of those who had thus represented mat
ters to him, but upon finding no one
there he was in doubt as to what course
to pursue, when the assurance iCds giuen
him in the court that the best thing fol
him to do was to plead guilty and have
the business hushed up without further
trouble. Under the delusion that
the "fixing up" business would
involve little or no expense
he was induced to enter the
plea as suggested, when 10 and behold
the Judge without any further delibera.
ton assessed the customary fine OF 5000
The result was perfect surprise to the
party, who left the court room without
determining what should be his nexl
step. Upon further considering the mat
ter he decided that the keeping of the
proceedings from the public involved
a very decided uncertainty, and that
he was not disposed to enrich
the city Golfers to the extent of 5000, oil
such frail assurances. He had not con
cluded upon any definite action wher
seen last, but was heard to say that il
the City Hall folks failed 10 keep theil
promise as to secresy che would be dc
ii he would pay" the assessment, ant
that he didn't intend to pay it anyway
as he had been inveigled into
doing something which brought conse
quences he had not been made aware of
It is more than likely that the affair viii
develop into something more material il
n very short time. In regard to thu
whole proceedings the utmost secrecy
was maintained at the City Hall, thu
Judge going go far as to instruct the clerl
not to put the matter on record, and t,
keep it from all newspaper reporters.
1t will not reflect very much credit oil
any of those concerned that such effort
at secrecy were put forth, for these ar,
matters which the public as well as tn,
reporters have claim upon.

KOEHLER'S FINANCIAL STATUS
An Inventory shows the Assets to be
Nearly Equal to the Liabilities.

The assignee has just finished taking
an inventory OF the stock belonging to
II. Koehler which was last week placed
in the hands OF Mr.. Geo. A. Luke rs
assignee. Mr.. Luke figures up the assets
trifle over what had been at first esti-
mated, but is of the opinion that much of
the stock, il brought into forced sale,
would be subjected to terrible cutting
down, US very little of it may be consid-
cred as staple articles.
The liabilities which approximate about
2,O07 comprise quite number of
claims, one OF which is said to have
come through the bank this morning in
the shape OF a draft from Pittsburg
firm, but the principal creditors are the
Continental Oil Company and Messrs.
Pitkin 4 Brooks, OF Chicago. The in
ventory, which embraces everything
which could be possibly used as u re.
tritle in access OF the stated claims, and
it is just barely possible that other claims
may crop up OF which nothing is at
present known, although from a knowl-
edge OF the character of Mr.. Koehler,
this is not looked upon as very
probable. Mr.. Luke will make an
effort to have the business resumed
under its former management in order
that something like reasonable sum
may be realized from the stock, as it is
certain, he thinks, that an auction sale
would result in little more than 25 per
per cent. on cost prices.
1t is probable that when the creditors
are apprised eff the true status and the
facts above referred to, they will mani
fest disposition TO have Mr.. Koehler re-
sumo the business, under some regula-
tons.

DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
T.. Henderson Appreciated tor u
$1,000 Stenl.

Particulars respecting the recent high
way robbery in Canada, in which an
express company lost some $1,000, were
sent in circular form to Mr.. Dolly OF
Wells, Fargo & Co.'s, yesterday, with
the description and very poor photo OF
the guilty party, and Marshal Ireland
was Immediately placed in possession of
the facts. As an evidence OF what we'll
systematized effort can accomplish in such
work the fact that the party was ap-
pretended within a few hours after
the first information reached here
is an ample showing, and reflects
great credit upon Marshal Ireland and
not less certainly on Deputy Marshal
Vandercook, who succeeded in nabbing
tine fellow in manner that has earned
for the deputy the reputation of first
class detective. A party registering Sat-
uiday night at the Walker House under
the name OF E, Henderson created con-
siderable comment and not little sus-
picion by an effort to cash three
drafts OF 500 each, and those who
took interest enough to look
up the matter found that the fellow had
used different name from the one an
pearing on the Walker House register in
his handwriting, and this fact led to fur
Their investigations which confirmed the
suspicious already entertained and asso-
crted them with the subject which the
circular from Canada contained.
Yesterday Deputy Vandercook found
his man walking with gentleman ac-
quaintance, who introduced Henderson
as Mr.. Brown. This and other evidence
which Mr.. Vandercook succeeded in fer
retting out was considered sufficient to
Justify arrest, and the man was accord
ingly taken into custody, and the news
will be forwarded to Omaha at once.
There is little if any doubt that the APP
pretended party is the one wanted for
the express robbery, and the Utah officials
will soon have national reputation for
their effective work.

From Snake River.

l.. $. Chase, who has been spending
several weeks prospecting along Snake
river, has returned to HALEY. He re-
ports mining on some of the bars of that
stream to be progressing with profitable
results. Two men exhibited piece OF
gold weighing over five pounds, avoirdu.
pois, which they washed out in thirty
days. On the fifth day OF December, Mr..
Chase saw strawberry vines in blossom
on Snake river. The weather down in
that section has been extremely mild
thus far this winter. Stocks on the
various ranges are looking fat and will
probably come out in fine condition in
the spring.
The deepest snow encountered by Mr..
Chase between Snake river and HALEY,
was about seven miles below Blacks
ranch.
There are number OF water wheels
being constructed along the Snake river
for the purpose of lifting water to be
conveyed to placer ground. 1t is Mr..
Chase's opinion, however, that none of
these wheels will prove practical, as they
are faulty in construction; and further
more, the speed Of the current is too slow
to afford much power.-Haiiey Times,

Suicide and Self Praise.

The Ogden Herald OF Saturday had
this as a part OF an editorial:
"There are times in the lives of all
men who attain any degree OF eminence
when the clouds are so thick and black,
and the way OF progress through life so
full OF hardship and sorrow and threat
ened disaster, that want OF great cour-
age would perhaps lead to self-destruc-
ton, as means OF ending the agonies
and turmoils OF a troublesome existence
too aggravating aud distressing to be
borne. 1t is during these periods OF in
diyidual depression and misfortune that
minds OF small caliber and bad proper
tions give way to insanity or fall into
childishness or imbecility, or in sheer
desperation commit crime or are over
taken by Il fit OF mingled despair and
cowardly desperation and resort to
suicide.
The praise herein given Il great man
in the person of Editor Hemenway bv
Editor Hemenway, is both modest and
refreshing. 1t is pleasing to note that he
has sense enough TO realize the fact "that
minds OF small calibre and bad proper
tons" resort to suicide. Ogden will soon
have suicide, in which Ogden's great
editor will be chief actor.

tic source just what the strange object is
which has created all this sensation; and
while feeling that it is dangerous to i'm

ventures to print the following letter
which was sent to the Herald. 1t was
written by the gentleman who is credited
with having made the notorious head,
and should therefore be taken as fina |
quetus to the matter:
The "petrified human head" on exhibit

for which he promised me % cents worth of

public. 1t is cast of my own features, and
the "perceptive or literary observing Or
gans," noticed by the keen-eyed Faber
driver of the DEMOCRAT, are still here, as
also the Expression of serene complacence."
Mr.. Editor, it was the first lie ever told,

Kicking Against Nnlsances.

This morning two prominent merchants
OF Salt Lake called on Marshal Phillips
and complained OF the existence OF a
most obnoxious nuisance which had been
causing themselves, their families and
the neighbors great deal of annoyance
and alarm during the past few weeks,
and which, they contended, jeopardizad.
in very serious degree, the health Of
the entire neighborhood. Three cases OF
diphtheria have developed in the vicinity
quite recently, and there was thought ia
be very just and reasonable grounds. the
gentleman stated, for the fears enter
tanned around the neighborhood for the
probable spread of the horrible disease.
The Marshal assured The parties that he
would give the matter his immediate at.
tention, and ii il should be found that
there existed any nuisance which il was
in the power OF the authorities TO remove.
an early action would be taken looking to
that end
From what reporter OF the DEMOCRAT
was able to learn OF the affair it seems
that the attention OF the city officers has
been previously directed TO the matter
and that their apparent Indifference has
led TO a determination on the part of the
neighbors living in this locality TO take
steps for speedy removal OF the trouble.
II is believed that Marshal Phillips will
give IL MS attention as promised.
