The Supreme Conrt Refused Him a
New Trial and He Has Gone to
the "Pen" for Ten Years.

The Supreme Court of this State
last week refused to grant the writ
OF error in the Yeager case from
tins county. 1t will be remem bered
that Samuel S. Ycager was tried at
the September Circuit Court for
this county for completely in the
robbery of George q. Reckard who
lives down in Grant district near
the Pennsylvania line. The rob-
berry took place on the night of
December II, 1891. An indict-
ment was found at the March term
of Court here, in 1892, against
Yeager, Jack Ramsey, Frank and
Jack Cooley and Rufus Meyers.
The Others were all killed or sent
to prison some time ago. Yeager
escaped from Jail here once, but
was recaptured, and he was proba-
bly, making arrangements to get
away again, as he bad made a very
complete and perfect key to his
cell, which he had concealed about
his person, but handed over to the
Deputy Sheriff, Tuesday morning
just before they started with him
TO Moundsville.
Hon. James A. Brown was the
prisoners counsel, assisted by p. j.
Crogan, ESQ.,. who was engaged af.
ter the trial, and helped take it to
the Supreme Court, asking for a
new trial which Judge Hoke had
refused, but granted a stay of pro-
ceedings till January goth in order
to give the Court time to decide the
matter, which it did last week by
confirming the verdict of the Cir
cult Court. Sheriff Leroy Shaw
and Deputy l.. j. McMillen left
Tuesday with the prisoner for the
Penitentiary, where he gees for ten
years. There Is also another felony
indictment standing against him
here. upon which he may be tried
when his present term expires.

Hon. Edward C. Walthall, of
Grenada, Miss, has resigned his
seat in the United States Senate,
although his present term does not
expire till March 4, 1895, and he
has already been elected for another
full tenn of six years from that
date. His reason for resigDing is
Ill health. He was born in Virginia
in 1881, and IS lawyer by profess
sion, and will be missed from the
Democratic ranks. Congressman
John Allen, or "Private" Allen,
the "Wit of the House," as he is
called, and Congressman II. G..
Catchings, who represents the
famous "Shoe String" district, and
also Governor Stone, are spoken OF
successor to Senator Walthall.

We have been asked by several
parties what became of Sheriff
Shaw's resignation which was to
come before the last term of the
County Court. We find upon in
yestigation that it was taken MP by
Court and voted down, the Court
unanimously refusing to accept the
resignation. This did not appear
IN the proceedings of the County
Court as published in the ARGUS,
simply because it is not on record,
aud there seems to have been no
record made OF this action Of the
Court, and why it was left out of
the record of the proceedings of the
Court is q question. AS the matter
was acted on by the Court, it seems
TO us that the records should show it

1t is long time since a Salt Lake
audience has witnessed such an enter
tainment by Salt Lake talent as
that given in the Eighteenth ward hall
last evening. 1t was for the benefit
of the poor, which may account in
some measure for the large audience
it attracted, but the entertainment as
a whole was of such high order that
its merits ought to and doubtless would
fill the theatre.
One of the surprising features was
the smoothness with which the opera
went off; there was not a noticeable
hitch during the whole performance.
and swing as though the participants
had been playing together for weeks
The stage was fitted up with all the
accessories, and the hall made very
snug little theatre.
The entertainment opened with
solo by John Robinson, the popular
baritone, and Mr.. Wells gave a Scotch
dialect reading in his best
style. Miss Babcock recited Owen
Meredith's AUX Italiens' with graphic
effect, which was heightened by the
exquisite violin and piano accompani-
ment of Messrs. Weihe and Krouse-
The first part closed with an exhibit
ton of legerdemain by Eliason, who
performed number of difficult feats
with the finish of a professional, al
though a slight hitch in his final trick,
which was presented for the first time.

full of beautiful music, with a plot
that brings about some very funny
situations, and sparkling dialogue.
1t was in capable hands. and all of
the solos, duets, quarettes and con-
certed pieces were encored
Mrs. Woodrow was in splendid
voice, and as the modest, timid Blanca,
was at her best The part was not
d difficult one as to acting but the
lady made the most of her opportuni-
ties, and in the solos fairly excelled
herself
Miss Jennie Winston received an ova-
ton for her principal solo. and her
acting was something of a surprise,
showing her to be almost as much a
mistress of that art as she is of vocal
ism. She had d difficult part and was
fully equal to it. her vivacity and chic
fairly captivating the audience.
Mr. Pyper's Ernesto, although not up
to some of that gentleman's former
efforts, was acceptable
The heavy work on the male side
devolved upon Messrs. Spencer and
Young, and well did they acquit them
selves. They were the whole show in
themselves, Spencer's local hits taking
immensely, while Young's Silence

Notes.


Chief Justice Merritt and Associate
Justice Smith of the Supreme Court
were seen in both houses yesterday.
In the course of the discussion on
the technicalities of C. sub IS, one of
the Councillors called attention to the
fact that only the pronoun "he" was
used in reference to the county clerk,
and that a woman might sometime fill
that Office. A colleague thought he
had settled the matter by saying that
he always includes ''she,' but a
/ third Councillor amende that he en-
braces "She."

But He Had Happened to Drift Into

The fact that there are a few hotels

as those of first-class Broadway houses
is occasionally the cause of ridiculous
mistakes. Less than a week ago
countryman, bearing the unmistakable
mark of hayseed, walked into the office
of the Imperial hotel. He refused the
offer of one of the bell boys to carry
his carpet-bag, and with the air of
man wishing to impress the loungers
with his knowledge of New York and
all it's vagaries made a. bee line for Mr..

courteous clerk.

it be possible, he thought, that after

Was it possible that this man, bearing
upon the cut of his whiskers and the

Considerable Important Business
TRANSACTED Last Night.


Ogden, Jan 29-[SpeciaL]-At the

the mayor and council the necessity of

ply by Mayor Brough, setting forth the

THE MONDAY EVENING CLUB.
A Very Pleasant Evening with
Nathaniel Hawthorne.

The Monday Evening club had not
so large an attendance as usual last
evening, owing to the counter attrac-
ton of the Crimson Scarf" but a
genuine literary feast was spread be-
fore the audience. Mr.. George Nye
presided in the absence of the presi-
dent, Rev. Clarence Brown. The first
paper, a biographical sketch of Ma
thaniel Hawthorne, by Mrs. DR.. Root,
was charmingly written and quite as
we'll read. Mr.. Franken read Haw-
thornes sweet, simple story of the
Great Stone Face and made some
comments upon it. The last paper was
on 1.-The Friendship of the Concord
Writer'S and was full of good thoughts
expressed in very attractive style,
by Mrs. Clarence Brown.
The club will be entertained next
Monday evening with a, popular pro-
gramme of miscellaneous music. 1t
seems some of the members have re-
quested something they think they
can appreciate better than classical
music, and in accordance with that re-
quest the music committee have given
the participants in the programme
carte blanche as to choice of selections.
On February u there will be a Howell
evening. Two of HowelIs farces will
be given. "a Likely Story" and Even
ing Dress The Howell entertainment
will be benefit for the First Congre-
gational church.
