THE GRAND ARMY BALL.
Last Nights Entertaining Social by
the Old Soldiers at the
Opera House.

The GA. II. ball in the Walker Opera
House last night was n success in every
particular, and was one OF the most en-
joyable reunions of the organization.
There was large attendance and every
body seemed delighted with the evenings
pleasure The decorations and the sug
gestive appointments of the hall brought
up some vivid and thrilling recollections
to some OF the old soldiers, and the anus
ing capture OF colored contraband OF
brief intermission, afforded some
considerable enjoyment. This iea-
ture was rendered by Mr.. w. w. Black,
OF the Minstrel troupe, who kindly vol
untered his services to please the old
soldiers with reminder OF by-gone days
on the front. HIS song, 81 Am Going
Back to Dixie" was sung in n rich sweet
bass, and his frequent encores brought
forth Crooked in the Cradle OF the
Deep" and the cold Sexton" which were
highly appreciated by the guests.
During the evening the ladies OF the
Relief Corps spread bounteous repast,
which was as thoroughly appreciated as
any feature OF the occasion. The affair
was as much financial as social success,
and this is saying good deal.
Among our prominent citizens present
were Colonel Godfrey, Judge Carlton and
Hon. A. S. Paddock, of the Utah Com
mission, Governor Murray, Major Stan
ton, Captain Badger, Captain Boxer

DIDN'T BLUFF WORTH A CENT.
Deputy Franks Plays IA pat Hand
Against n Bluff from Don
Ctesnr Young.

Deputy Franks YESTERDAYS visited the
residence OF Mrs. Caroline Croxall, just
east OF the Eagle Gate, with subppnas
for that lady and her two daughters, none
of whom were found at the house. The
residence is at present occupied by Don
Carlos Young, the pudding-headed mem
Der OF the Legislative House. and his
family. MIR. Young announced TO the
deputy that the parties referred TO were
not there, and objected to the officer GO
ing through the house i'll search OF
them. Franks is not the kind
OF man to be easily terrorized,
and he promptly informed Don
Carlos that a search OF the premises was
necessary, and would have to be made
regardless of protestations. The empty
Drained Don, drawing himself up to his
uttcrmost height, shouted with indignant
force: eff you 90 through this house you
will have to walk over my dead body"
Deputy Franks having already sized the
fellow up with remarkable accuracy, pro-
ceeded to perform his duties, and invited
Don Caesar to carry OFT his fearful threat.
Don, however, had in the meantime APP

business involved the leaving Of one or
two helpless wives and several little
children, saying nothing OF the personal
suffering which would be inevitably
associated with such reckless
act as the one contemplated,
and he made nothing in the nature OF n
dangerous demonstration towards the
deputy. After the house had been thor
oughly searched for the Croxalls the
deputy subpHnaed Mr.. Young and his
wife, and they were taken Immediately
before the Grand Jury. A great deal OF
curiosity was aroused among Young's
friends to know in what case the wit
nesses were wanted, and some have come
to the conclusion that il is for Don Carlos
Young's case, it having been a matter Of
common repute for years past that the
gentleman contemplated extending his
family circle. Mrs. Croxall is his own
sister, and would doubtless prove valu
able witness rs regards Don's domestic
relations.

The Two Combined Make Matters

EDITOR DEMocRAT: In these event
full and exciting times, when we hear the
report OF Cannons both large and small
going off, and Of Cannons spiked and
captured, the arrest OF men who have
earned widespread reputation-men OF
ilustrious names, such rs Scipio African
us Kenner, arrested for conspiracy; truly,
these are the times that try mems souls,
and general spirit of unrest seems to
prevail through the settlements. Numer-
Gus and mysterious meetings are trans
piring; private meetings where only the
elect are admitted, and where the
ungodly Gentle or apostate cannot enter;
secret, silent, solemn meetings OF the
brethren only. the dear sisters being also
excluded. At Manti last week there was
a big turnout of the big guns of this
county, and representatives from nearly
all the southern settlements; Fillmore,
Beaver and the extreme south, as well as
Salt Lake City, were also represented.
Here could be seen presidents of stakes
and their councillors, bishops, teachers,
deacons, secretaries and scribes, all in their
best buds and tatters, vending their way
to the Manti Westinghouse, where the
proceedings were carried on with closed
doors. What Il commotion few of Mar
shall lreland's deputies would have raised
in this select assembly had they appeared
on the scene just then. No one on the
outside seemed to know anything in re-
gard to the purport Of this gathering.
One OF the brethren on the outside vol
unteered the Information that they had
met to receive instructions in regard to
raising $25 900 to give George @. Cannon
another send-off.
The whisky ranch, with the chief pre-

Mormon son. This is the second settle
these two worthless have engaged in, and

Mesmerism at the Rink Tonight.

An extra attraction will be at the Pa
vilion rink tonight in the person of Mas
ter Leonard Goheen, the worlds greatest
mesmerist. The young man is said to
possess marvellous power, and to per-
form some very remarkable feats. The
following is from the Sacramento (Cal.)
Record Union:
Young Goheen, "the mesmerst," had
fair house ut the Metropolitan Theatre
last night. Out OF thirteen candidates to
be experimental upon he chose nine
whom he could control, and with six of
these he did some very clever things. In
fact, he gave some Of the very best ex-
amples of the power OF operators OF this
class. For instance, one subject, under
"the influence" sat motionless while
Goheen drove large needle and heavy
thread through the right ear, thence
through the fold OF the right cheek,
thence through the fold of the throat, and
finally through the fold OF the left cheek,
where the needle was left sticking. In
this condition he compelled the man to
walk through the audience for examina-
ton by skeptics. Not drop of blood was
drawn by the operation, and the "sub-
ject" manifested no sense OF feeling
Whatever AHotHeT subject lie prOStrateu
and rendered the body so stiff that, with
the heels on the back OF one chair and
the shoulders on the other, the body re-
manned stiff rs board and otherwise I'M
supported. The chairs being turned down
and the space little lessened, and the
subject again suspended by ''its two
ends" Goheen sat upon the stomach of the
patient without breaking down the hu.
man bridge. Some We're shocked rs by
IL battery; others made to fight bees
others rendered incapable of walking, oil
OF dropping a billiard cue at will, etc.
and the Lulu Hearst feat OF pushing q
person about while holding the cue was
done by Goheen when having but the
ends of two fingers on the cue, whereas
Lulu placed her hand upon the stick
The performance was all that was claimed
Tor it, and astonished spectators who had
not witnessed such phenomena. Il
afforded endless amusement to all pres
ent, and ii there was any trickery in it
it was wonderfully well dden.-Record

Want to Join Montana.

The people OF the Cmur d'Alene re-
glon, Il part OF Idaho, met the other day
and resolved to offer themselves and
their fabulous wealth OF gold and sill
yer to the Territory OF Montana, and
to petition Congress not to hand them
over to Washington Territory. They
hold the Washington population in high
esteem, but these latter people are
mostly grazers, and the Cmur d. Alenians
are miners, and would prefer, therefore,
to form part OF Territory with large
mining interests and code OF laws and
a trained judiciary for their RELOCATION.
One reason for their wish to leave Idaho
is that the southern boundary of their
region, the 47th parallel, is marked by
the divide between the st. Joseph and
the Clearwater rivers, and they are separ-
ated from the southern inhabitants of
Idaho ms from the other side OF Jordan.
And, together with their metal and them
selves, prospectOrs, grubstakers, cur
gators, and all, they offer to Montana
thousands OF dollars worth of roads,
fumes, miners bitches, smelters, and
stamp mills, 5000 Of population, and
1900 voters, and county debt OF $22,-
600. Why shouldn't they have what
they want?

Who Killed Him?

come the victim OF a conspiracy, and
went hence through the effect of poison
administered by the hand OF an assassin
He was more faithful than many who are
more pretentious and make louder prom
Uses, because, while he could not speak,
he never went back on friend and never
willfully made an enemy. To know him
was to like him, even though his position
in life was the lowest of the lowly. The
fact that Jack was the. Gray brothers

mitigate the fact that the man who poi
soned him would be likely to do any
other mean and dastardly thing, and it
would be gratifying to the owners to
know who he is.

TRESEDER's DISAPPEARANCE.
General Expressions OF Regret That
This Universally Respected
Young Wan Has Dis
appeared.

The sudden disappearance OF Frank
Treseder Immediately after his discharge
by Commissioner Sprague has created
good deal of talk as well rs curiosity on
the street. There can be no doubt what
ever that Mr.. Sprague did right in order
ing the prisoners release, rs there was
evidently good legal ground for so doing,
but it was an action much to be regretted,
as Treseder has evidently placed himself
beyond the reach OF the officers, no mat
ter what indictment the Grand Jury may
may find against him. Treseder was
tracked as far as the back door OF the
County Court House shortly after his dis
charge, and it is safe to bet that he is
effectually hidden from the law and its
operations Those who have been in
ciined to regard the attempt to murder"
business rs exceedingly doubtful, were
almost persuaded OF its reality by the
disappearance of Treseder; and to con-
firm this there is the fact staring tile
public in the face that his bonds, which
were signed by the solicitation OF men
in high standing in the Mormon church
and in the city government, bear
the names OF Alderman Crow,
special policeman Alma Pratt, and one
Egbert. These men became suretes for
Treseder in the face OF his villainous con-
duct in the bribery affair, and in full
view OF the fellows past record OF crime.
1t has strange coincidence with the
notable case of Fanny Davenport, and
as long as these facts remain it will be q
difficult matter for anybody to believe
that this cry of attempted murder has
been trumped up, as the Herald and
NeWs claim it has.
If even Murray's word should be ac-
counted equally unreliable with Ire
seder's, there still remains abundant
evidence to prove that the effort was
made in good faith to kill Marshal Ire
land, Attorney Dickson and Deputy
Franks. In this connection it is inter-
esting to know that Mr.. Carter, the gen
tleman who sold Treseder the cartridges
for the villainous purpose, identified them
before the Grand Jury yesterday. Itseems
to be the pretty general opinion that Ire
seder will keep out of the way, and that
when his bribery case comes up at the
April term OF court his bondsmen will
play the same little dodge perpetrated by
Marshal Solomon and Royal b. Young

The Inter.nOs Club.

The lnter-nos Literary and Social Club
gave very creditable charade last even
ing, entitled 'The Register" The spa
cious parlors OF Captain Hooper's resi-
dence afforded admirable facility for the
performance, and a goodly number OF
invited friends were present. Miss Grace
Young, Miss Margie Dwyer, Miss Alice
Hooper, Mr.. Jos. Il. Game and Mr.. JOHN
w. Campbell made up the company OF
performers, and the piece, which is
cleverly-woven love plot, with lots Of ap-
preciative humor in it, was acted very
capably by all. Miss Young and Mr..
Caine had the leading roless, and sur
prised their friends considerably by the
display OF real excellent dramatic ability
and aptitude. Miss Hooper gave de-
lightful hop after the performance, and
the dining parlors were made attractive
by the presence OF sumptuous refresh
ments, which were served in admirable
style. Something over fifty guests parti-
cipated in the evenings enjoyment, and
went away delighted.

Police Court Appeal Cases.

Much of this mornings session Of court
was occupied in a discussion for the re-
instatement OF batch OF police court
appeal cases. City Attorney Richards
contended that every opportunity and
courtesy had been extended to the de-
PENDANTS, and there had been no effort
put forth to have the cases docketed or
to pay the clerk IS fees to that end. The
city had accordingly taken the necessary
action to have the cases all dismissed,
and he didn't consider it was right OF the
court TO break away from the long-exst-
ing custom in the present instance. The
attorneys for the several defendants
argued the case at some length, and the
case was finally submitted. Judge Zane,
when seen this afternoon, had not arrived
at decision on the question.

The Mexican Typical Orchestra.

Next week the noted Mexican Typical
Orchestra, OF over thirty members, will
begin an engagement at the Salt Lake
Theatre, and that this celebrated organ
ization in its large and varied repertoire
of classic and popular music will meet
with welcome ut the musical centre OF
the Rocky Mountains, goes without
saying.
The Mexican Typical Orchestra is the
one that captured the gold medal at the
New Orleans Exposition year ago,
playing against all corners; and the
leader, Senior Charles Curt, received the
very high compliment from Theodore
Thomas that he was the finest he had
ever seen.

Got Left ON "Scalper" Tickets.

The experience OF large number of c.
+, west-bound passengers yesterday is
not apt to help the ticket scalpers in
their present boom in cheap fares across
the country. The detectives on yester-
days train took up large number OF
these low rate tickets which had
beeen purchased from ticket scapers,
and alter proving that the hold
ers were not the parties who had
bought the tickets originally from the
railway people, they insisted in every
case on the passengers paying their full
fare The detection was accomplished
by getting the passengers to sign their
names, and then by comparison with the
original signature OF the ticket purchaser.
The action OF the road created sensation
among the travelling public.
