SHE DECLINED TO ANSWER.
Kate Smith Bassett Brought Into
Court by the Grand Jury.

Shortly before noon to-day the Crane
Jury came into the Third District Cour
and reported that Kate Smith Bassett
a witness in the case of the United States
VS.. William f. Bassett, had refused tt
answer certain Questions and requested
that she be instructed by the Court t.
answer them.
The Judge looked over the report and
then addressed the witness as follows
The first question put was, "Dd you go
through a marriage ceremony with
William +. Bassett at Logan prior to
! your marriage to him in Salt Lake City ?''
Was that question put to you?
Ayes, sir.
Q.-And you declined to answer it?
Ayes, sir.
Q.-On what ground?
A.-On the ground that am the legal
wife of the defendant.
Odd he not have a wife before he
married you?
Ayes, sir, but he was divorced from
her.
Odd you know that OF your own
knowledge? Were you present when the
decree was granted?
Al saw the divorce
The Court-Well, that was proper
question. The next question asked was,
Did you at any time in 1884 go through
any marriage ceremony with the defend
ant, William E. Bassett, in the temple at
Logan 2" Was that question put to you?
A.-Yes. sir.
Q.-And you declined to answer?
Ayes, sir.
The Court-The question is a proper
one. The other questions were, "Haye
you gone through a ceremony of mar
riage with Mr. Bassett at any other place
IN the Territory OF Utah, except in the
city OF Salt Lake?" and "Were you not
married to the defendant prior to 1884,
and have you not lived with him since
that time as his wife," Were these
questions put to you?
Ayes, sir.
Q.-And you declined to answer them
also?
Ayes, sir.
The Court: These are all proper ques-
tons and you should answer them. It is
your duty to do SO, and unless YOU do the |
Court must punish you. The iurv NAV |
retire with the witness and give her an
other chance to answer.
The witness then asked to be allowed |
to consult with her attorney, Mr.. Raw
Inns, and after a short consultation that
gentleman arose and made brief argu-
nent upon the question.
He said that according to the report it
that the witness had previously
estitied that she was married to the de-
endant In this city in 1886. Now, said
Mr.. Rawlins, if the defendant had no
awful wife living at the time, Kate
smith is his lawful wife and she is in
to testify in the case. If he
lad lawful wife living at the time, her
estifying to the marriage with him in
1856 proves the offense charged, and there
no need of further evidence. He
aid that the question then rested upon
ne competency of the legal wife to testify,
nd closed by making short argument
ending to prove her incompetencv.
Mr.. Varian said that he did not under
tand the report as Mr.. Rawlins had
tied it, and the Court took the same
lew OF it as did Mr.. Varian.
Mr.. Rawlins then asked that he he
lowed until tomorrow morning to con-
lit with the witness, and prepare an I
'gument upon the question. This was j
'anted by the Court. s

POLICE POINTERS.
A Busy Day I'm Judge Pyper,s
Court.

To-day was another busy one in the
Police Court, several offenders having
been brought up to answer for their con-
duct
Thomas Leland, short, fat boy, and
George Atwood, tall, lean man, were
arraigned on the charge of fighting, and
both entered pleas of not guilty. Accord
ing to Leland's story, tie affair was
boxing match, and the two were "iust
1oollng." Atwood, however, said that
Leland had claimed that he (Atwood)
owed him Qeland) a quarter, and that
when the former refused to pay, the
la Ter decided to punch it out of him.
Leland then introduced a witness who
said that he "see" the two with their
arms around each other in manner
which, from his description must have
been very affectionate. A new idea then
struck Leland and he decided that thew
were Just embracing each other. He
SAID he didn't pretend that it was a
wrestling match any more than a SPAR
ring match, but from all he said it was
evident that he would cling to the theory
that the affair was a hippodrome. The
Judge took different view of it and as.
sessed the amateur pugilists 81 so each.
John Doe was up again, this time
charged with being drunk and profane |
and resisting the officers. He was as

no means so roomy and substantial
as the handsome dwelling they
had at first stappropriated. Still it twas
home, and the sisters proceeded to
make themselves as comfortable as
possible. A COW was soon installed
in the little stable, fowls cackled and
sang in the barnyard, and a garden
was soon made.
Three months OF experience, how
ever, suficed to show the girls that
farm life is not without it's disadvan-
tages, at least for ''lone women and
those used only to cities.
The COW persisted in straying over
the fields inste ad ofcoming home night
ly, in orthodox fashion, to be MIXED.
The hens hid their nests where they
could not be found-in the long grass
and the clumps OF burdock and witch
hazel bushes. The neighboring farm
ers' young pigs broke into the garden
and destroyed the marrowfat peas
and the early-rose potatoes; and at
last the girls became quite discour-
aged.

day he called and found Nab, alone

said; "you look so sad. What is it?

Nab shook her head, and began to
make up little bouquet to hide her

out and go back to the CITY,

OF Mab's little hands in his, he said:

A Frightened Dog,

A paper before US alludes to an old

story of youth who was brought up
to manhood without ever having seen
woman, the object being to test the
existence and power OF the natural
affections, and adds,-
But hereis aleaf from the experience.
of Mrs. Helen Hunt in Colorado, which
is none the less amusing, and, has the
added merit Of being true. She says,
GAS wehalted, three dogs came bounds
ing toward us, barking most furionsly
One OF them stopped suddenly, gave
one searching look at me, put her tail
between her legs, and with a pitiful
yelp OF terror, turned and fled.
II walked slowly after her; she would.
look back over her shoulder, turn,
make one Or two lunges at me, bark
ing shrilly, then, with the same yelp
of terror, run swiftly away:
cat last she grew brave enough to-
keep her face towards me, but contin-
ually backed away, alternating her
bark OF defiance with her yelp OF ter
ror in a way which was irresistibly
ludicrous.
eve we're utterly perplexed by her
behavior, until her master, as soon as
he could speak for laughing, explained
it,:
eyer see, that ere dogs never seen
a woman afore. She was reared in
the woods. and l haint never took her
nowhere, and thet's just the fact ont;
she dunno what to make ofawoman'

''The other dogs were our friends at
once, leaped about us, snuff1ed us,
licked our hands as we spoke to them.
Poor Bowser hung back, and barked
furiously with warning menace when
ever I patted one Of the other dogs,

DISASTER.

r ~
Under her bonnet kissed her,
Under her bonnet of straw
ltwould nothave been strange had miss
ed her,
For but half OF her visage saw.
A glimpse OF her chin and her dimple-
And her nose showed its exquisite tip;
And it seemed so remarkably simple
To carom right there on her lip.
And under that mighty poke bonnet
dived for a moment OF bliss
You may wager your wardrobe upon it,
delivered a lightning-speed kiss.
Yes, under her bonnet kissed her
And somehow-the bonnet shows how
I found that it was her Boston-bred sister.

There are two girls don't speak to me
now.
