OGDEN, June ESPECIAL - Henry
MILESTONE, deputy United States mar
shall, was this afternoon arraigned in
Judge Miners court for sentence, having
been found guilty of contempt of court.
After several motions had been overruled
and petition, asking that sentence be
deferred on account of the alleged i'll
health of the defendant. had been thrown
out, the court sentenced MILESTONE to
three months imprisonment in the terri
torial penitentisry. He was taken to Salt
Lake tonight.
Whetstone's offense consisted in spirit
ing away George Craig, very important
witness in the John Hopkins adultery
case. Braig was present for several days
during the setting of the grand jury OF
the February term, but when his name
was called as witness he was nowhere to
be found. Suspicion attached to Whet-
stone, and subsequent Investigations re-
called the fact that the ex-deputy had re-
ceived 500 from Hopkins as pay for his
services in the latter's behalf, and the
prosecution claims that part Of the money
went to bride Craig tc leave the country.
1t was known that MILESTONE and Craig
were together just before the departure
of the Southern Pacific train upon which
the missing witness took passage for the
west. 1t is possible that habeas corpus
proceedings may be begun before the SUI
preme court OF the territory in behalf of
the ex-deputy.
William Garland and his senior attor-
ney, S. B. Ladd of Kansas City, arrived
in Ogden this morning, and the sale OF
the Bear river canal system, which was
made last week under the foreclosure of
the 500, 600 deed of trust held by the
Jarvis Conklin Mortgage Trust company,
may be again opened. Something sensa-
tional may develop.
The drill at the gas well had reached
depth OF thirty-five feet when operations
were stopped tonight. The pipe ls now
in stratum Of close gravel, and driving
is very difficult.
The members of the Ogden Shot Gun
club are preparing for their contemplated
match with the Salt Lake team, and
should the contest take place some good
acores may be expected. 1t is said the
Salt Lake boys are anxious to clear their
record.
THE BEAR RIVER CANAL TRANSFER.
The instruments for the transfer of the
Bear River canal system to H. NJ. Jarvis
and George L. Walker, were placed on
record in the Office OF the county recorder
this evening. The purchase price OF the
entire system, including the Idaho prop
erty, is 500, 200. 1t seems that the sale OF
the Idaho branch of the canal was made
at Paris, Ida, on May 10, II. M. Jarvis
! being the purchaser and the purchase
price S12, 800.
G. E. Magnets still absent in the east
and will not return for some time. He is
supposed to be in Omaha in consultation
with the gentlemen who are to put up
the capital for the construction OF the
power plant and the completion Of the
Henderson Brinker electric street railway.
1t is expected that upon his return active
operations upon the plant will commence.
The Reed hotel will probably be closed
| for keeps, as the interested parties do not
seem to be able 20 reach an agreement of
any kind. Mr.. Riesling is in Oregon.
| He went away on Thursday very much
disguised man. Several propositions
were made by him, bat none have SO far
been accepted.
HOT COMPETITION IN ICE.
At O'Clock this afternoon the ma
chinery at the ice plant was started for
the purpose of manufacturing ice and by
Monday the first ice ever manufactured
in Ogden will be placed upon the market.
The plant is one of the most complete in
/
tons when running at its full limit. 1t
has cost in the neighborhood of $50, 600.
The chances for lively Ice war this sum-
mer seem very favorable, as the natural
ice men say they will so undersell the ice
plant and that the latter will not be in it
| with them. AS result the public will
get ice very cheap.
| The special erecting engineer of the
Southern Pacific reached Ogden this
morning and will at once assume control
of the erection of the company shops.
A oNE-LEGGED TRIP.
Frank S. Beedleson, the young one
legged man, who left San Francisco on
May 18th to cover the distance between
the latter city aud New York in hun
dred days on bicycle, reached Ogden to-
night five days ahead of his schedule time.
He vows he has conscientiously covered
the distance between this city and San
Francisco, and has propelled himselfthu
far across the continent without aid from
any source except his good right leg. The
trip has been devoid of special feature,
aud the nervy bicyclist has met with no
accidents. He will leave for New ork in
the morning, and expects to cover the dis :
lance in considerably less than the speci-
fed time. Speaking to The HERALD man
he said: 'tThis is my first long jour ney :.
heretofore the only runs have taken have
been in fine health, and feel confident
that can ride the distance. The mount
l use weighs about thirty three por nds
2S-inch wheels with corrugated tires.
The wheel is fitted with two gears, with
separate sprockets on each side OF the
frame. For level riding use the fifty
six gear, and by simply changing the
chain TO the other sprocket wheel, can re-
duce it TO the forty gear for hill climb
/, ing. This is necessary on account OF the
long dead center | have to contend with,
by reason of having only one leg. l go
fully prepared for any accident. -
STOLEN GOODS RECOVERED.
This morning the police recovered the
goods stolen from Kuhn's store on Thurs
day night, and one of the men who COM
mitted the burglary was this afternoon
bound over to the grand j1ry in bonds OF
81 .0O0, while one of the others is now con-
fined to the dark hole'' of the CITY TAI
in the hopes that he will follow the exom-
pie of his partner in crime. Martin, the
fellow who has been judicially dealt with,
was placed in the dark hole,'' where he
remained until an early hour this morn
ing. when he made known his willingness
to locate the hiding place of the stolen
goods, and, accompanied by Acting Mar
shall Brown, he went down near the Utah
and Northern bridge and found the goods
where he and his pals had hidden them in
the brush. About IL o. clock the officials al
Kaysville notified the police that last
night two young fellows went through
, the hotel there and had been arrested. On
their persons was found lot OF Handker-
chiefs and other gents furnishings, and
it is thought they are the others impli-
Gated in the Kuhn burglary. An officer
will be sent down to Kaysville to identity
