DEATH OF JUDGE SPRAGUE
A Respected and H0nOred Citizen
Passes Away.

Notwithstanding the fact that Judge
Ezra T. Sprague has been in ill-health
for many years past, there were none
but who were surprised as we'll as
panied when the news reached them
yesterday morning that he had passed
to his final rest. Two weeks ago he
contracted severe cold which confined
him to his bed. There was every indi-
cation, however, that he would soon be
able to resume his duties again, but
hemorrhage set, with the fatal result
above noted. Ezra T. Sprsgue was
born in Connecticut in 1888, which
would make him at the time of his de-
mise trifle over 55 years of age. He
graduated at Amhurst College, and
soon afterwards began the practice of
law in Madison, Wis. In 1861 he
entered the Eighth Wisconsin as a
private and served all through the war,
being mustered outin the fall of 1865. as
colonel of the Forty-second Wisconsin.
After the war he served term or two
on the Wisconsin bench, and on &C
count of i'll health came to Salt Lake
about fifteen years ago, where he has
since resided. For the last twelve

of clerk Of the Supreme Court
Charles Gould. At the time of his
death, he also held the Office of United
States Commissioner. His death has
caused a sincere feeling of regret
among the legal fraternity of this city
there was but one expression among
the members of the Salt Lake bar yes
terdsy, and that was that a great and
good man had passed away. His legal
ability was admitted by all, handi-
capped, as he has been for score of
vea-s past on account of failing
health. Courteous and gentlemanly to
all with whom he came in contact, he
wen the esteem and respect of every
one. AS to his integrity it was IN
questioned, and his faithfulness
and honesty were conspicuous features
of his character. He was man whom
it was pleasant to know, and an honor
to be classed as one of his friends. He
leaves a wife aud four children. Mrs.
Sprague, who was summoned east to
attend the bedside of her mother. who
was i'll, received the news of the Illness
of her husband on the day of the for
mer's death. and had been home but
about a week, when she was called
upon to bear another and heavy loss.
She and her children will have the
heartfelt sympathy of all.
The funeral services Will be held at
the family residence, in the Nine
teenth Ward, to-day at II O'Clock,
and will be conducted by the
Reverend J. B. Thrall, Of whose
church the deceased was a prominent
member, and the ceremonies at the
grave will take place under the auspices
of the local pcs; IF the Grand Army, to
which the deceased had been attached
for many years.
The members of the Salt Lake bar
will attend in body. and will prob
ably meet tomorrow to pass appro-
pirate resolutions of respect

Police Court.

Judge Piper yesterday took up the
following cases:
Leonard Hansen, q drunk who wasn't
ashamed to own it. was fined S..
Thomas Kimball, the individual who
stole coat from the front of Nathan's
store and left poor naked wire dummy
shivering in the cold, was arraigned on
the charge of petit larceny and pleaded
guilty. He was fined 800, which is
equivalent to term of ninety days in
jail. The only complaint Kimball
had to make was that he thought His
Honor was a ''divil aV Judge"
for not sentencing him on Saturday so
that he could be serving out his term.
One of the policemen ventures the
opinion that Kimball took the coat for
the express purpose of getting board
and lodgings until spring sets in and
that he would have been very much
disappointed had he not been caught.
Richard Williams and James Stevens
were fined $40 each for being drunk.

A NEEDED EXPLANATION

The recent ad. in THE HERALD an
nouncing that the Salt Lake Oil Com
pany was ready for business in their
new scheme of delivering Coal Oil and
Gasoline free of charge, in quantities
of half gallon and upwards. has SO
swamped the company with orders that
they have found it impossible to can
vass the city thoroughly. More wagons
have been telegraphed for, and by De-
cember 18th it is expected that the city
will be covered thoroughly. The fur
nishing by the company to their Spa
irons of the. large cards which are hung
out when oil is needed is also great
hit. Until the additional wagons ar
rive, customers will please overlook any
apparent neglect.
Remember-you are not asked to
sign any contract. Leave orders at the
company's office, E. Second South Cat

FROM THE BEAVER UToN1AN. ~
The energy and push OF The SALT
LAKE HERALD company has ever been
matter of genuine comment, and
many praises have been bestowed
upon the gentlemen who conduct the
affairs there. The browning effort,
however. has been reached in their
Christmas number. 1t is. without
exception, the finest specimen of
newspaper work ever seen in these
valleys, and will equal any other at
tempt, we have heard, read of or seen.
The Illuminated cover is beauty,
while the entire contents of the paper
far eclipse anything that newspapers
usually contain. II their Christmas
issue does not inspire THE HERALD sub
scribers with confidence, that the COM
pany is doing all it can to please, then
The HERALD must have q hard lot OF
subscribers. But this is not the case;

FROM THE MALAD ENTERPRISE.
THE SALT LAKE HERALD's holiday
edition was out promptly on time. The
mammoth publication is without ques-
ton the finest specimen of the printers
skill ever issued in the Rocky Noun
tains. 1t can now be said that The
HERALD has produced the most expen-
sive and elegant edition of any paper
in the west. THE HERALD ventured to
give its thousands of readers some
thing that would forever be remem-
bered, and they have admirably sue
ceeded in their undertaking. The
citizens OF Utah have reason to feel
proud of their Territory when they
have in Salt Lake an establishment
which has the nerve and enterprise TO
issue anything like The CHRISTMAS
HERALD. HERALD, We congratulate
you and your readers.

HERE THE MATTER RESTS.

HERE THE MATTER RESTS.
Here the matter rests; the Governor
has taken 20 action On the petition and
will not do so until the matter has been
thoroughly aired He said yesterday:
sit is a strong petition, but cannot
permit the impression to go abroad that
q pardon can be obtained in this Terri
tory for money, or that any money
consideration would influence such q
matter in the slightest degree. OF
course. an attorney is entitled to his
fees, but this does not entitle him to
bargain for prisoners pardon on a
money basis"
The above expression of the Govern
or's ideas was given to the reporter
before Mr.. Sutherland's reply had been
received, so it cannot be ia ken to reflect
upon that document in any way.
LET IT BE AIRED.
Outside of the point upon which
Marshal Dyer objects to the pardon of
John T. Harrington, the case is an
interesting one on its merits. If the
man is entitled to a pardon, nothing
would please The HERALD better than
to see Tim get it. But the crime of
which he was convicted was participa-
ton In ore of the most awful tragedies
that the Territory has ever seen, and q
little public discussion of the matter
before action is taken would not hurt
the cause of justice.

WHAT THE GOVERNOR SAID.

When seen by HERALD man yester-
day Governor West said that before he
received Mr.. Dyer's formal protest, he
had spoken to Warden Pratt about the
prisoner in question, and was informed
that Harrington had placed $500 in his
(Pratt's) hands, with instructions to
give it TO Mr.. Sutherland when his par
don had been secured. Mr.. Pratt had
urged upon His ExcellencY the fact
that this idea that a man could get q
pardon for $100 was bad one to feed
to the other prisoners as well as being
hardly the sort of thing to have made
public, and His Excelency took the
same view of it. With the idea of CIV
ing both sides a hearing the Governor
informed M. Sutherland Of Marshal
Dyer's protest and the contents
thereof.

Caleb ". We t, Esq Governor:
MAJ Dear Sir-With reference to the stale
m ent contained in Marshal Dyer's letter to
the effect tnat q certain sum of money has
been placed in the hands of the Warden at
the Penitentiary to be paid to lawyers in
event of pardon being granted to John
Harrington, l have to say: About eight or
nine months ago Harrington asked me to
make IN effort to procure pardon for
him, told him would do SO, but that he
must pay me 300 to cover expenses in
working on tt case. He agreed to write to
friends in Colorado to procure the amount
and l Immediately entered upon the work
of getting recommendations from jurors
who tried the case when he was convicted,
many of whom l went to see personally;
getting petitions from Colorado, etc. ]
made one or two trips to Ogden and else
where in his behalf. About two
months ago received let
| ter from Harrington or some one
| on his behalf saying the 500 had been re-
ceived and had been placed IN the hands of
tn warden and would be paid to me when
the work was completed. l paid little at
| ts0tion 10 this and If made any reply do
not remember what it was. 1t was the def
mite understanding all along, however. be-
tween harrington and myself that this
money was to be paid to me for expenses,
