A GANG,
An Accomplish Offers TO Disclose it But Fools
the Detective and Breaks Away.

An Accomplish Offers TO Disclose it But Fools
the Detective and Breaks Away.
For some days past a gang of showers
of the queer have been swindling our
merchants by passing counterfeit gold
pieces, and the police nave been making
every exertion to bag the fellows. On
Thursday night, one of the gang passed a
$50 piece at Coin Bros, store, and although
he got away with $3.50 of the firms
money, the officers were furnished with a
description OF him, and on Christmas morn
Detectives Glenn and Johnson landed him
in jail. at the police station the prisoner
gave his name as James Gagjour,
and on being questioned he ad-
mitted that a gang was operating
here. Finally he offered to go with the Of
icers and pilot them to his pals, provided
they would make it easier for him. The
offer was accepted and the detectives
started out with the man. He led them all
over the business part of the city and
through many saloons, and finally, when
the officers were off their guard, he made
a break and escaped. Gajour will I'M
doubtedly be re-arrested, and some even
intimate that the detectives were willing
that he should make the break, as thew ex-
pect it to result in the capture of the whole
gang,

DRILLS FOR GAS.
Subscriptions Towards the Fund are Increas.
ing and Work Progressing.

The Intervention of Christmas day, and
that falling on Friday, caused a lull in gas
circles, and Saturday was not long enough
to justify a resumption, so the various en-
terprises go over until tomorrow. The
Citizens company is at work, however, and
over $4,000 is reported subscribed. In a
few days they will commence drilling and
the best results are hoped for.
The Benson-Karrick Whittemore COM
pany is at work on its well near the river.
AS these various enterprises progress, it
will be the purpose of THE HERALD to give
the public all reliable information which
may be legitimately obtained, and thus
keep eastern interrogators thoroughly in
formed.
Many enquiries come from the gas and
Oil regions, and all eyes will be turned this
way as soon as sufficient assurances
are given of the existence in paying GUAM
titles of the gas.
The Hammond brothers, who came here
a few days ago from Lima, Ohio, are re-
ported as saying that they are willing to
take stock IN any well drilling enterprise,
and to put in time as well as money. These
are the gentlemen who drilled those deep
wells near Cincinnati last season.
Yesterday was the 115th anniversary of
the day On which General Washington
struck the British at Trenton, New Jersey,
and about one year since the gas drillers
struck Trenton rock at Lake Shore.

GREAT SACRIFICE OF PAINTING,

The art sale of F. Schafer's paintings at
119 Main street was resumed last evening.
Though there were quite a number dis
posed of, the prices obtained were redicul-
ous!y low. This is an opportunity that our
well-to-do citizens should avail themselves
of, for it is the first time that a choice col
lection of paintings, by a first-class artist,
has ever been offered to the people of Salt
Lake without limit or reserve. There are
among the collection, some of Mr.. Schafer's
exhibition paintings, works which have
carried off first honors in the Mechanics
fair of San Francisco. The balance of the
collection will be on exhibition all day to-
morrow, and tomorrow evening. The
winners of the two pictures given away
last night were Joseph Woodmansee and
Lewis Miller. There will be two given
away tomorrow evening. Sale at 1880.

No Session of the Third District
Court Yesterday.
NOTES IN AND ABOUT THE COURTS
Deputy Marshal Bush Returns from Tintic At
ter the Settlement of the Right
of Way Troubles.

The past week, which promised to be an
unusually busy one in legal circles, turned
out to be a very dull one. The trial of the
Old Jordan-Niagara mining suit was just
started before Judge Anderson, when the
illness of Colonel Nick Treweek caused a
p-ostponement, and it is still uncertain
when the trial will be resumed. Judge
Zane'8 time has been occupied In disposing
OF motions and routine business, and yes
terday neither branch of the Third District
court was in session.

INSTANTLY KILLED.
Switchman Fred Cunningham, Of
the .. P, the Victim.
In U%ncOupling the Car He Was Struck bEthe
Engine and Both Legs Severed
From His Body.

At $50 p. m. yesterday as switch engine
No. HOS, in charge of Engineer Jess and
Fireman Brown was making an uncoup-
ling in the north yard of the Union Pacific,
SWltchman Fred. Cunningham was struck
and instantly killed, and both his legs were
severed from his body. He was in charge
OF the coupling, and the signal had been
given to back up, which was complied with,
and nothing more was heard or seen until
the engineer missed his lantern, and running
up the track discovered the unfortunate
man lying across it dead. His body was
taken in charge and sent to the Utah
undertaking rooms on Main street. where
a particular investigation disclosed the fact
that he had been first struck on the lower
right jaw and the neck broken, and in fall
ing his limbs were thrown across the rail
and the engine passed over them, cutting
the right leg below the knee and the left
just at that joint.
The foot-board on the engine had been
broken during the afternoon, and it is sup
posed that in attempting to step on it his
foot caught in the rail and he was thus
held until the engine struck him.
The physician for the company viewed
the remains shortly after they were laid
out, and pronounced the death blow to have
been the one which struck the chin, for the
neck was broken at the third c~ervical YER
zebra, and the wound on the temple. was
sufficient to have produced instant death.
The deceased had only been at work there
a day or two, but was a member of the
union and well known to the brotherhood
as a sober, industrious and reliable man.
His home was formerly at Sioux Falls.
where his mother and sister reside. He
had recently taken out a policy in his order
and sent il to his mother.
The deceased was about 26 years old, of
medium height, of good features and rudy
complexion, with slight monstache.
An inquest will be held and his friends
have been wired of the SAD accident.
The brotherhood here will see that all
necessary care is taken of the remains.

THEY JUMPED THE TRACK.
Two Cars Leave the Rails and Demolish
House.

Just as we are going to press we
learn from t. B. Moore that two of the
Old Jordan and Galena tram cars
loaded with ore on their way to the
Rio Grande Western station, jumped the
track about a quarter of a mile below the
Galena mine, striking the residence of Mr..
Heber Mcneil, utterly demolishing the
structure and the furniture in the same.
Joe Schelley, foreman of the tramway,
was in charge of the two cars which were
thrown from the track, but luckily es-
capped uniniured. The cause of the acci.
dent, Nh. Moore states that the track was
covered with snow, causing the car wheels
to slide, and making it impossible for Mr.,
Schelley to manage them.-Bingham Bulle.
