The replies to the questions OF The
defense by the witness were very posi-.
tive, and were mostly mOnOsyllabic.
Harry ID. Fowler was the uext wit
ness. He lives in CoTinne; heard OF the
assault mentioned; was called upon
about IL pm. OF the same day, to
help hunt for Pitt; got no
track of him until The next day. about
D O'Clock IN the tulles or brush down by
Petts house; there We saw his tracks;
talked with the defendant after his ar
rest, and he said in a conversation that
be saw the officers hunting for him
while he was In hiding in the willows.
The defense objected, but the objection
was oyesruled.
David Reese was the next witness to
take the stand; he is marshal Of Brig
ham City; he was Informed of The
assault referred 10, and was called upon
10 help the sheriff hunt for Jim Pett;
got trace Of Pet in October, through
my brother, who is conductor on the
Union Pacific; he was at Evanston:
Pitts was placed in my charge alter

and wished that witness would take him
out and shoot him.
The case was still in progress when
the court adjourned. II is said that
the defense will make q pretty story

Time for a Change.

As we'have noted the rumber of in
dictments which have been set aside
in the First District Court, on account
of their technical illegality. the convic-
ton has forced itself OH our mind that
some one more competent should be pro-
vided 10 attend to the public business.
Realizing that the law IS very difficult,
and that the most astute lawyers are
liable TO make mistakes occasionally,
We have refrained from speaking upon
the subject. Recently, however, the
number of bills which have been set
aside because they did not conform 20
the law has been so great, and
the Incompetence of the attorney
who drew them so painfully evident,
that il seems a waste of the public
money to put a defendant on trial IN
der one of them. The court estimates
that il costs the pubic nearly $50. for
every hour that II is in session, and as
from one 70 four hours are taken up
with every case where the indictment
proves TO be legally insufficient. it
would seem that il would be an eco
nomicalimeasure to employ an attorney
who has the legal ability TO draw indict-
ments that viii conform 10 the plain re-
u int cAAAAAEs.
A defendant who Is innocent can GER
tainly not object to having his case tried
on its merits. and one who is guilty
should be punished for his crime, and
we are unable 10 see any reason or
policy for continuing q lawyer in
the position of assistant Prosecutor
who seems 10 be unable TO draw indict-
ments that VIII hold q prisoner long
enough TO decide whether he be innocent
or guilty.
As man we believe Mr.. Hiles to be
honest and conscientious. a a lawyer
he has manifested q disposition OF fair
mes. but his mental calibre is so small
that ae appears at times TO be unable TO
stand entirely upon his own convictions
OF right and 10 be Influenced by Others
less scrupu,ous, thus committing some
plumbers that are hardly e1cusable in
one holding his official position.
We might Lave a prosecuting attorney
who Is much worse; but one who mas
more legal ability would not be hard to
find, ana in the interest of public policy
we should ike TO see such a one secured.

Almost a Horror

LONDON, Jan. l3.-What might have
proved to have been a most serious acct
dent, r~ivaling the disaster of 1867, occur
red to-day in Regent's park, London. The
weather was delightful, though a thaw had
set in, and the lakes in the parks were
crowded with skaters, who have had a
royal time during the recent severe wealth
er throughout Great Britain. To-day, as
there vas a prospect that the thaw would
soon put a stop to the sport, an unusual
number of persons were enjoying them
selves on the ice. Suddenly there was a
series of loud, cracking reports, and theice
in one Of the ponds gave way. and at
least 100 men, women and children were
submerged in the chilling water beneath.
A cry of horror rose from the vast throng
Of people on the ice and in the neighbor-
hood of the lakes, while those who were
lucky enough to escape, made a hasty
scramble to the shore. The "life-saversr
and police, assisted by hundreds of volun-
teers, soon pulled the drenched pleasure
seekers from amidst the slabs OF floating
ice. Women and children naturally sui
iered the most from their involuntary
cold bath, but up to the present thanks
to the Tact ihat the water was not very
deep, no serious rcs ults have been reported.
intense excitement prevailed throughout
London when the news OF the accident
was spread abont the city, many recalling
inc iatal loih oil January ISO'' when IN
the same park at least 2oO people were
suddenly submerged through the breaking
oil the Ice, iorty one OF whom were
drowned.
Previous to the calamity OF 1867 a long
series OF Isolated accidents on the ice,
which did not seem to have put the au-
thoritics upon their guard, was crowned
by one of fearful magnitude. The ice

More Stock Losses.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. l3.-A special
to the Times Democrat from Indian Ter
RORY, says; Reports from the ranges arc
to the effect that the cold weather has
been particularly severe on cattle interests.
In the Cherokee Nation, where the greater
part Of the stock range is centered the loss
is heavy, nearly every stockman losing a
number of cattle. The members of the
Mcclellan Cattle company has lost many
cattle, as have all members ofthe Chero-
kee Live Stock Association In the
Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations the loss
has also been great; cattle have wandered
for miles and in many instances have been
stopped by wire fencing, remaining there
until frozen to death.

The cigarmakers Strike.

New YORK, Jan. lathe application
offive New York branches of the Cigar
makers international Union of America,
TO the main body for authority to strike
against the proposed reduction in prices,
was approved by the international Union
this afteanoon. A committee of the gen.
eral strike committee waited on the firm
of Levy Bros. and demanded a return to
the old prices. This was refused, and
the men of this factory will strike to-
morrow. In the morning this circular
will be issued
Fehot0 WorhBien The Cigar Makers
International Union has approved our
application to resist the reduction of
wages made with the introduction of the
price list of the Manufacturer Associa-
ton. The affiliated unions have resolved
to begin the fight at the shop of Levy
Bros. relying on the Progressive Union
TO make a simultaneous attack on the
factory of John Love. The demands in
all of the sixteen shops will have been
agreed to and the fight will already have
opened in the above mentioned shops
when you receive this circular. To take
employees of all the factories about 1000
on strike at this time of the year would be
a crime. At present it is sufficient to
have 900 employees of the above two
shops on a strike. When the above
firms have been forced to concedc, then
we can take another 1000 on a strike,
and as the season advances increase the
number. The union will recognize no
strike inaugurated on or after to-day, un-
less said strikeis authorize by the unions.
The fight before us threatens to become
an exceptionally stubborn one.
In such a fight we must have above all
discipline. Maintain necessary
discipline and victory is ours. In case
thezmanufacturers declare a general lock
out, you viii calmly remain at your place
and await its execution. Work as little
as possible, but remain at your places"
The Cigar Makers international Unions
Of the city have called a mass meeting TO-
day for Friday night. The strikers are
confident of victory.

and the nominations which were con-

A few, like that of Postmaster Judd of

the committee had called for information

the opinion OF the majority Of senator's
that the senate ought to have such in
formation whenever it chooses to call for
it, with respect to reasons for making re-
movals. 1t has been the habit of the
senate to call upon the heads Of depart
ments for information of this kind from
