WOOD RIVER TIMES
HALEY. IDAHO.

1t was generally understood
that an attempt was to be made to-
day, by the officials Of Lincoln county,
to obtain possession of the records Of
the defunct Logan county. As the
pseudo officials of the latter will prob.
ably refuse to relinquish them, the re.
suit Of the attempt, II it was made,
will be an appeal to the courts which
should lead to an early and definite
settlement of the point raised by the
ex>offic,als of the sex county.

Italy Wants the Next Conclaye Held
In Rome.


ROME, Aug. 4.-Where shall the next
conclave be held is the question now be-
ing discussed in Governmental circles,
Church dignitaries are interested observ-
ers. This question, it is believed, will be
the pivot Of the policy both Of the Italian
Government and of the Vatican. There
is good authority for the statement that
the Italian Government has sent explicit
instructions to it's representatives abroad
to prevent the conclave from being held
away from Rome. It breads above all
things foreign Pope and a conclave
away from the Eternal City. All Italian
confidential negotiations with the great
Powers are believed to be inspired with
this dominating idea-that Italy will re-
spect and safeguard the liberty of the
the conclave, and, therefore, no nation
should offer hospitality to the Sacred Col
lege should the Cardinals decide to hold
the conclave elsewhere than at Rome.
The reason is manifest. Should any
change take place the Government would
and itself confronted with an entirely
new situation. This would be unknown,
find the Italian Government fears the un-
known. The reopening of the Pontifical
question, morally and automatically,
enthusiastically and politically = as it
would be opened-is what the Italian
Government wishes to prevent at any
price.

NEW YORK, Aug. A bitter fight was
begun to-day by the Sugar Trust Com
pany against Claus Spreckels, who has
been thorn in the side Of the sugar re-
liners on this coast for many years.
About ten days ago the President OF
the Sugar Trust was called away from
the city by the fatal illness of his father.
+. Z. HaVemeyer. While he was away
the Sugar Trust maintained the price for
granulated sugar, and Claus Spreckels;
announced reduction of one-siXteenth
OF cent per pound, cutting seriously
into the trade of the Sugar Trust. Yes
terday President Havemeyer returned.
and at once ordered Sugar Trust prices
reduced one-sixteenth OF cent below
the cut made by Spreckels The latter
to-day made another cut, bringing his
price one-sixteenth of cent below the
price asked by the trust.
The reductions made bring the price
for granulated sugar down TO four cents
per pound in Philadelphia, on which two
per cent. is allowed of, making the
net cash price 1872 cents, the lowest on
record. The price named by the trust
is 40 cents per pound.
In August, 1889, after the formation OF
the trust sugar was quoted at 81 cents per
pound.
The curious feature of the fight is that
IN the raw sugar market, both par
ties are urgent buyers, and the sugar
trust to-day bought raw sugar at 3 5-I6
cents. This brings the profit of refining
down to very low point.

CUSTOMS DUTIES.
Two Cases Decided by the Board OF
General Appraisers.

Two eases decided Dy the Board OF
General Appraisers.
New YORK, Aug. 4.-The Board OF
General Appraisers to-day rendered an
important decision on the construction of
paragraph 3S3 of the new Tariff Act,
which recently became subject to contro-
versy between the wool-growers of Ohio
and carpet manufacturers of New Eng
land.
The opinion is that the sorting classes
referred to in paragraph 3S3 apply to all
woods, including wool of the third class.
Sorting is here in effect defined by the
statute to be the process of separation,
which increases in value imported wool
by the rejection of part of the original
fleece.
The phrase ''shall be twice duty'' to
which it wool or hair) would be other
wise subjected, means that the duty on
sorted woods when separated otherwise
than as to color and increased in value)
shall be twice duty, to which the fleece in
an unsorted condition shall be liable
Any sorting or manipulation of woods
made to evade the lawful duties is fraud
on the law and subjects the merchandise
to the penal duties imposed"
The board reverses the Collectors de-
cision in both of the cases under consid-
Grafton.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 4.-Yesterday
morning six prisoners escaped from the
House of Correction. Their names are:
Charles Whittle, Richard Cody, George
Ward, George Wores, Thomas Murphy
and Frank Reagan.
The prisoners We're about to be marched
out, as usual, to work on the county
roads.
Superintendent Fragley was at the gate
and ordered the prisoners brought out.
The morning was very foggy, and man
could hardly be seen at 100 yards.
Suddenly as the prisoners were being
toled off in gangs the Superintendent saw
In the mist the shadow of a man running
up the hill, south of the prison, and he
saw leaning up against the inside of the
south fence long board. Then he knew
there had been break" and that the
board had been used as a ladder
The guards were ordered out at once,
and i'll the afternoon Frank Reagan was
captured. He said that he and his com
panions took the board from the bath
room floor. The escapes, with the ex-
ception of Wores, were 'long- timers"
and were robbers or burglars.
Wores was subsequently arrested by
officer Callihan on Davis street.

August Pretzen Shot on the Highway
Near Fresno.
FRESNO, Aug. 4.-Yesterday morning
at O'Clock August Pretzen was brought
from one of the neighboring colonies
bleeding profusely from deep and dam
gerous-looking gunshot wound in the
throat. On probing it was found that the
ball had entered the right side under the
chin, passing through and lodging in the
muscles of the back of the neck. The bull
let could not be found. The wound is an
exceedingly dangerous one and may
prove fatal.
When he had recovered from the shock
PretZen said he was driving along theav-
enue in one of the colonies, about eight
miles from town, when a man on horse
back rode up to him, presented pistol TO
his head and fired.
The shooting was done at such close
quarters that Pretzen's face was badly
powder burned. On being shot Pretzen
fell out of his cart, the horse running 70
| the house of his brother, two miles away
| On the return of the horse and finding
the cart covered with blood, the brother
set out and found Pretzen at the side of
the road, where he had dragged himself,
| and at once started to this city with him.
There is considerable mystery about the
whole matter, which the officers are try
ing to clear up.
