County Clerk Booth Denies Malicious
InsinuatiOns.
Last nights Inter Mountain contained
an article casting some reflection on County
Clerk Booth by insinuating that Democrats
are favored with access to the returns q
the ~canvassing board, while Republicans are
denied that privilege. The article was called
out by The MINERS publication of the fact
that the Republicans had failed in an at
tempt to get a certified copy Of the returns.
1.-THE inference is absolutely false" said
Mr.. Booth last night. mo person has been
allowed to see the returns since the can
vassing board has adjourned. The figures
that The MINER got that Monday after
noon were the same figures that / gave the
Inter Mountain and since that time no one
except the employees in my Office have seen
so much as the outside of those returns"
st al true" continued Mr.. Booth,
chaneing the the subject, THAT the ballot
box from the Thirty.fourth precinct was
not sealed when it was brought before the
canvassing board. II it had been sealed
the judges would have had no trouble in
opening it; they had the keys and will keep
them until the next election. 1t would have
been very difficult for the judges to fix the
ballots so as to conform with the returns,
as has been intimated by some Republicans,
for this reason: Those judges received 800
tickets from me before the election; 174 of
them were cast at the election; 900 were
returned to me. II the remainder were
posted in and about the polling place in &C.
cordance with the requirements Of the law
it was impossible for the judges to fix the
returns, because all the ballots that re-
manned unused in other precincts were re-
turned to me and are now in my vault"

4 BAxGEHo6s ADMISSION.
An oficer who Admits Having Charges
Illegal Fees for Duties Perfornded.

An Officer Who Admits Having Charged
Illegal Fees for Duties Performed.
II the admissions said to nave been made
by Constable o. B. Benson yesterday are
true, it would seem that the grand jury and
the fool killer have still q large amount OF
work to do in the ~neighborhood Of Butte.
These admissions were to the effect that
he. Benson, had charged Illegal fees as con-
stable and that such charges were com.
monty made by the constables OF his
county. The case came up in this way: A
man named William Reuter- was arrested
for a minor oifense and was admitted to
bail. He undf rstood hat his hearing was
to be in Justice Hopkins court and went
there prepared to III dergo examination
and pay his fine, He paid Constable Benson
$50, 30 he claims, and departed feeling that
the case was ended. He was very much
surprised some days later when he was ar
rested by q policeman on q warrant charg-
ing him with an offense for which he had
already paid q reasonable penalty. He
told Judge Newkirk that he had settled
with Constable Benson for the misde.
meanor, but hat excuse did not satisfy
the city's claims against him, and he was
Obliged to pay the fine assessed by the
police court. City Attorney Corbest called
Benson to task for the part he had played
in the affair, and told him very plainly
that Reuters statement involved him,
Benson, in q felony for which he ought to
be behind the bars. It was then that BEN
son is said to have made the admissions
attributed to him-that he was in the
habit OF collecting fees in excess OF the
amounts allowed by law, and that there
was not a constable in the county who did
not transact his business on the same ex-
plan.

The Vienna Ladies' Orchestrass First Ap.
pearance at the California.
A new sensation has come to town and
is to be stem and heard nightly at the Cali
fornia. It was revealed to the public last
night for the first time. It ia the New Vi
emma Ladies' orchestra. Their fame has
been heralded before their arrival, and last
evening the California was iammed to snf-
location. Saturday evening is usually q
big night there, but last evening beat all
previous records. Woman-lovely woman
was the attraction presented in the ever
charming guise Of music. Curiosity brought
the throng and they stayed to listen, en-
hanted by the attractive sight OF
six accomplished and lovely female
musicians, modest in appearance and
dressed with taste, not to say art, playing
instruments hitherto supposed peculiarly
those to which men alone could do justice.
And playing with a skill and grace that
was a surprise to their hearers. They are
all accomplished musicians. Each one has
made the instrument che plays peculiarly |
her study, and with the cultivation re-
ceived in the highest centers of musical art
in Europe the result is perfect satisfaction |
in listening to them. Loud and continued |
appl use followed them through a pro- |
gramme last evening replete with music at
once artistic in composition and of the
light. graceful description that is SO effect
i've with the average audience. |
Tue concert this ., ening will be devoted |
to classical music, to which all can listen
with pleasure and will form a pleasing con.
to the popular style OF music with
they favored the audience last night.
The new attraction is bound TO proue
the best drawing lard which Messrs. Liene.
mann & Schmidt have yet placed before
the public. |

A Couple of "Shoe Strings" Get Into a
Quarrel and One Cuts the Other.
A cutting scrape occurred in the Comb
nation gambling saloon yesterday
afternoon between a couple OF the
many "tin horns" who frequent the place.
Tho parties to the ARRAY were the "Galway
Kid" and a fellow known as the Morris j.
Harris. The cause of the fracas
was professional Jealousy. 1t seems
that somebody who had been in the habit
of stalking" the Galway Kid" concluded
to change and gave some money to the
"Sheeny" to play for him. This made
the gentleman of the Milesian name mad
and he called the Semitic gentleman hard
names. The latter retorted in kind and
received a clip on the nose for doing 80. He
could not stand the insult and whipping
out a knife the length OF a pick handle
made a slash with it at the Kid AID sue
ceeded in cutting him on the arm. The
cutter escaped end the other fellow was
taken to q doctor for repairs.

MIR, DE WITT RESIGNS.

Going Home to Visit His Mother-His
Probable Successor.
County Attorney Dewitt sent to the
county commissioners yesterday his resiy'
nation as legal prosecutor for Silver Bow
county. His reasons for SO doing are that,
having been elected une OF the justices OF
the supreme court, he might be called upon
the district court, particularly the murier
cases, and that he desires to 20 home to
visit his mother who is in failing ealth.
He left, last night, for Melrose, Pa, where
his mother lives. 1t is thought that the
county commissioners, with whom the
power OF appoi.. tment rests, will name W.
/. Lippincott as Mr.. DeWitt's successor.

that his books were open for inspection and
that he had made 10 charges that are not
in strict accordance with the law. Several
lawyers refute Mr.. Fish's assertion and
say that his charges as constable are not
in accordance with the law; that he does
not charge as much as the law allows him.

The trustees of the Agricultural College
will meet in Logan, next Saturday,

The yield of hay on irrigated lands has
been very heavy, and large shipments are
made north.

The front will be the incest in Logan.
Last Monday the U. o. NJ. & B. Co.
bought the Evans lot, corner Main and
Fourth streets, and ever since have had a
large force of men at work cutting down
trees, hauling brush and garden truck
away, moving buildings, putting in gates
and ditch-crossingS, and hauling lumber
from the old place. This will be their new
lumber yard, and the company is fortunate
in securing so desirable location for that
business.
Work on the Agricultural college building
is being pushed vigorously. Since the
laying of the corner stone, two weeks ago,
the brick work has gone up rapidly, and
will soon show plainly from town. A look
at the building today, with some of the
window frames in on the main floor, con-
vinces me that the trustees choose better
than they knew in selecting this plan. The
wing now going up, will be an attractive
building in ITSELF an acquisition to Logan
and something creditable to the territory.
Salt Lake was lately visited by a gentle,
man who is rapidly making an envious
name in American agriculture-Prof. vii
liam r. Lazenby. Mr. Lazenby is graduate
of Cornell University, and was for several
years instructor in botany and horticulture
at that celebrated institution. He after.
ward accepted position in the State Agri-
cultural Experiment Station at Columbus,
Ohio, and is now vice director and secretary
of the board of control of that institution,
and professor of botany and horticulture in
the Ohio State University, also located at
Columbus The professor is taking a hur-
ried run through Dakota, Montana, Idaho,
Utah and Colorado, seeking new facts in
his chosen field of labor. We regret that
he did not make himself known, and afford
some of our progressive horticulturists an
opportunity to show what young Utah is
doing in their lines. If Mr.. Lazenby will
come again we agree to make him heartily
welcome, and to show many interesting
things of which we are proud.

Mnre Police Changes.

There seems to be trouble again in the
quarters of the alquazils, otherwise known
as the worshipful police force. Marshal
Metcalf, overcome by the incessant fatigue:
of the Office, is still under the weather ant
in his unavoidable absence from duty
William Brown attends to that branch OF
the public safety service" an occupation
with which he is surely familiar from his
occupancy of the office years ago under the
Peoples party regime.
But that is not the worst trouble. Officer
Parkinson has quilted service on the regu-
lar force 1t is said he followed in that
step only the example of a predecessor of
his in the same high station of public trust.
Temporarily Joseph B. Sewell, a sturdy
old-time Liberal, resident of Wilson'S Lane
a near suburb Of Ogden, was given the
badge, but he threw il up after
twelve hours wear and tear, and
at present Phil Ford, hitherto a
special. holds the place of Parkinson, until
the police commission have Strengthened
out the sadly eptangled skein of the herm
an dad.
The police force appear to have proved
thus far one of the hardest nuts for our
Liberal city council to crack, and it is
only a sad fact of record that more police
men have made room' in six months
under this than have under all former re
gimes. The elections must have been moi
scrutinizing enough.
