Visits Salt Lake-U. p Con-
ductors Indicted

The talk of an injunction against the
Salt Lake & Eastern people for using 8
part of the grade of the old Utah East
ern, which was subsequently turned into
a wagon road, will probably not amount
to anything more than talk. It is true
that the Eastern company has appro-
priated astreteh of the old road bed, but
in place OF this they are grading a good
wagon road along the side of the track
and twice the width of the old one, and
this, when it has had time to pack, will
make as good road as the other. Then
in places whore the track runs along
side the road for any considerable dis
lance, it is proposed to erect an eight
foot board fences, to avoid as far as pos
sibie the danger from easily
frightened teams. While the rail-
way thus protects itself against
interference on the part of the county
the result will be, of course, that great
many people who now drive between
here ana Park City in private convey
ances will, when the road is finished,
leave their teams at home and 60 by
rail. Whatever precautions are taken
ii is uncomfortable driving in a canyon
where there is a railroad, even with q
gentle team, and the outcome will
probably be the opening up of Immi-
grafton and Fest Canyons as a wagon
route to Park City. This route is a
little longer than the old one, but the
expense of making a good road over it
would not be very heavy.
Speaking of lnjunctions, there was
also some talk of trouble with the Salt
Lake d Fort Douglas. in Red Butte
Canyon. 1t is alleged that the road has
completely shut out the rock-handlers
from this gulch. On the other hand. it
is claimed that the land is owned by
the company. This, however, would
not necessarily give the owners the
right to close up roadway which they
have left open to public use for num-
Der of years, and it is possible that there
will be some little litigation over the
matter.

HENRY ADAMS, of Washington, D. c.,
and Sir R. A. Camille. of London, En-
gland, were in the city yesterday on
a purely business trip. They were en-
tertained by local railway men, in COM
pliment to Charles Francis Adams, the
hr0th n tho &rcf
A part of the day was spent in
viewing the city, with which the gentle
men were highly pleased, and at 2
o'clock in the afternoon a special train
was run out to Garfield for their &C
commodation. Owing to the lateness
of the season the gentlemen did not
enjoy dip in the inland sea, but they
were nevertheless, delighted with what
they saw at the great watering place.
They leave this morning for Portland,
Oregon.
STERLING PoGUE, railway rail clerk
running on the o. s. l.. between Gran
ger and Huntington, was arrested at
the former place Monday night for rob-
bling the United States mails. For
some time past letters with money in
them have been lost N transit between
the two points, and an investigation
was ordered. Suspicion at once fell
upon Pogue, as he was in the habit of
gambling heavily both at Granger and
Huntington. Decoy letters were in
troduced in the mail last Monday both
at Soda Springs and Montpelier. At
Granger three or four of the packages
were missing, and Pogue was arrested.
The marked bills and the envelopes
which had contained them were found
on his person. He admitted the crime,
as he was completely cornered. Hew
taken to Boise City yesterday, and will
be tried there at the next session of the
District Court.
