tanned by H. M. Howard, now under
arrest at Boston, part of which is on
deposit in a bank in this city, The
title of the complaint filed is the FL

Howard. The plaintiff alleges that he
is engaged in the business of life in
surance and that he issued a policy on

and that by mistake on the part of the
plaintiff and deception and fraudulent
representation on the part of the de-
PENDANT, the said Howard received the
sum of $4,000; that afterward the
plaintiff discovered that 3. f. Pitzel
was still alive, proofs of the claim
were spurious and fraudulent and made
for the express purpose of cheating the
plaintiff out OF insurance money; that
the defendant fled the country, turning
over and paying to his codefendant,

Boise, Idaho, Nov. 2O.-[Special1-A
murder case involving a peculiar point
has just been argued in the supreme
court here.
On June %, last, Charles Perry muir
dered Patrick Mcnamara at Lava, in
Bannoclz county, for money, securing
about SIS. He was tried and convicted
early in August and sentenced to hang
September %.
An appeal was taken and a super
sedeas issued, and this appeal has just
been argued.
Perry had for his attorney ]. Ed
Smith, an Idaho Falls lawyer.
In some way, it became known to the
prosecution that Smith was going out
to the scene of the murder to get the
money. A watch was placed on him
and one night during the trial he was
followed to the scene and surprised in
the act of digging up the money where
it had been buried. There were three
$40 pieces in the cash. In addition a
blood-stained $40 was traced to Smith.
All this was put in evidence.
Now the defense sets up, as its main
point, that Smiths action was a breach
of confidence between client and attor-
ney, and that the lower court erred in
admitting the testimony concerning the
connection of Smith with the money.

flied to administer oatGhs, and will then
proceed to perform the functions OF

When asked whether fighting would
ensue, Mr.. Crandal said:
THE Oates men have the militia
to back them and the support of the
administration. While we have not
many arms-but you know what Ma
poleon said about the right. Compare
lively few Kolb men from the back dis
tricts were at the convention last
week, because they were unable to get
there, and we cannot tell how many

December Many OF them are too poor

There will be a contest made in the
House against six of the Democratic
candidates who are given certificates
of election, and we will present such
indisputable evidence of frauds that
the committee cannot overlook them. )"

Mystery Surrounds It.

Boston. Nov 20.-There is a peculiar
mystery surrounding the arrest of Mrs.
Pitzel in this city. 1t was given out
last evening that the woman had been
decoyed from Burlington by the police
and on her arrival in the city was i'm
mediately transferred to New York
train in company with Howard. 1t is
known that Mrs. Pitzel was in the
city yesterday morning and that she
was in the company of detectives dur
ing the day. The party visited police
headquarters, where it is alleged an
understanding was reached whereby
the woman is to aid the detectives in
their efforts to convict Howard. Just
what method is to be pursued is not
known. The police and detectives have
both made strenuous efforts to keep
Mrs. Pitzel's identity and the fact that
she was in the city all day yesterday

of progress is abroad. The citizens of
Ogden are determined to make a grand
effort to put the city on the high road
to prosperity, and to becoming the great
industrial centre of the west.
The meeting held in the city hall to-
night was a grand augury Of the future
of the city.
The greatest enthusiasm prevailed, and
the meeting was unit on the main
proposition.
Mayor Brough presided and explained
that the meeting had been called to re-
vive an interest in Ogden and make a
combined effort on her behalf.
Judge Patton explained briefly the
work which Mr. Mordaunt was doing in
Chicago. The gentleman was meeting
with great success. He had offers from
many manufacturers DESTROYS of estab-
fishing in this locality such as wagon
and carriage works, stove factory, pack
ing houses and agricultural implements.
Representatives of some of those in
dustries are expected in Ogden in a few
days to look over The field and make a
definite proposition to the citizens.
Frank j. Cannon made a few con-
fidential remarks explanatory of the
work of the Pioneer Electric Power COM
pany. His remarks were reassuring of
the success of this enterprise. He con-
graduated the citizens on a revival Of
the old spirit of fraternity and COUNSEL
ed them to cultivate that spirit and with
their combined action and energy rescus-
citate Ogden and place her where she is
rightly entitled.

Slightest Opposition.
New Orleans. Nov. 2O.-Grand Mas

without opposition in the Knights of
Labor assembly Bishop, of Massachu-
sets, and Merritt, of Colorado, were
nominated for foreman, the place now

Washington, D. c., Nov 20.-[Spacial.l
Some few Republicans in Washington
who have been looking toward Utah as
likely to send two senators who will
be tools for protective cormorants and
other Republican favorites, are some
what wildly hunting for Chairman Bah
cock.
They have heard from Utah.
In fact, some Republican politicians
in Utah seem to have gone very wild.
This is all because Chairman Bah
cock, in a moment of temporary aberra-
ton. gave away the Republican secret
that an agreement had been forced by
Republicans that Utah's senators and
representatives should not take their
seats in Congress until 1897.
Babcock is now in New York, but
these anxious ones are laying for him,
primed to force him to deny that he
ever said such things. He may not
deny the truth of the statements, be-
cause others besides The Herald cores
pondent were present at the time he
made them and took great interest in
the dispute as to the provisions of the
enablng act.
However, though it does not reflect
credit on them, it is a habit among
politicians to deny anything which has
created trouble, and Babcock may deny
when he returns from New York. All
senators and representatives on the Re
publican side who know of such in
sAslde matters are close-mouthed> as
oysters.
They have more sense than Babcock
and know that Utah Republicans are
perspiring in their endeavor to con-
vince the people that the Republicans
in Congress, fell all over one another
in their effort to force a triumphant
majority TO action.
Ike Sunshine schooled them well on
this point, but he could have devoted
more time to Babcock with great pro-
fit

London, Nov. 20.-Sir Charles Rivers
Wilson. ex-controlIer Of the national
debt office, who sails for New York
from Liverpool on the Majestic as a.
representative of the shareholders of
the Central Pacific road, said today:
II do not go to the United States with
plenary powers to take action in case
Mr.. Huntington and his friends refuse
to carry out my recommendation. 1t
is difficult to get the widely scattered
stockholders to act in concert; but I
am within the facts in saying that go
per cent of $68, 100000 stock held in
England, Holland and the United
States are behind me. These holders
Of stock bought at SIS and upwards and
for several years dividends were de-
clared. Now their stock is quoted
about Is there are no dividends. These
shareholders send me to the United
States to ascertain why this is the
case.
ITO the obvious question, why do the
shareholders not elect their own direc-
tors? the answer is that the company
is a California corporation and is re-
quired to register it's shares in Sam
Francisco, which the foreigners are
generally unable to do. The shares.
therefore, are in the original names of
Mr.. Huntingtons friends. He desires
my mission and will no doubt receive
me in the most friendly manner.
Upon arriving in New York I shall
see Huntington and Messrs- Brotherton
and Hubbard and inquire fully into the
situation. I shall then go to Washing
ton and stay at Sir Julian Paunce-
totes and have an interview with the
United States government, if 1 can get
it to receive me, about the extended
government action in January next
Naturally, the shareholders can only
appear in the form of paupers and may
be shown the door, but I am told that
President Cleveland and his cabinet
are inclined to take the place OF the
company in the control of the road,
and they may, perhaps, receive me in
friendly desire to protect the inter
ests of the large body of people who
are the sufferers through no fault Of
their own. The friendly action of the
government would perhaps bring Gbout
maturing of the bonds for a long
time at a lower interest and would
materially assist in the popularity OF
American securities.

lion of the Central Pacific and then
into it's relations with the Southern Pa
cific After l an, fully informed ] shall

for the shareholders to follow"

San Francisco. Nov. 2O.-General An
tonic Ezeta tonight will arrive in San
Francisco. He left Mexico on Thurs
day. commissioned, so the dispatches
intimate, to purchase ammunition and
supplies generally to be used in the
event Of war between Mexico and
Guatemala. If prominent members of
San Francisco society are correctly in

the service of Mars, but, on the con-
trary, has been lured by Cupid.
While a prisoner in this city he fell
a victim to the charms of one of Cal
ifornias prettiest daughters, but his
sudden flight prevented his paying his
addresses in proper form. He now re-
turns to complete. if possible, a con-
quest of the lady's heart. Ezeta met
her While nominally imprisoned in the
California hotel. The lady, Mrs Bes-
sic Paxton, occupied apartments on TIE
same floor. A friendship sprang up
through Mrs. PaXton's blind boy, who
strayed into Ezeta's room to hear the
soldiers stories Of fighting.

he came here from Chicago ana placed
on record a deed from one l"lnd to
Lyman for 100 feet front on Rusk ana
Second streets. Bond got title by deed
from Minnie r. Williams, executed be-
fore a notary whose name was said to

EDITORS CONVICTED.
Proven Guilty of Having LibelIed
MnrschaI Won Beibertstein.

Cologne, Nov. 20-The trial of Herr
Kleser, editor of the West German AL
1egeime Zeitung, on the charge of libel
ling Marshal Won BeiberStein, i'm
perial secretary of state for foreign
affairs, by asserting that the latter
wrote an article in the Kladder&tich,
rejecting upon certain government Of
ficials, including Baron Kiderlein-
Waechter at that time chief of the
press department Of foreign affairs,
and Herr Won Holstein, also an official
of the foreign office, opened today.
Won Kiderlein-W aechter, it will be
remembered fought a duel in this con-
nection with DR.. Potstorff, editor of the
Kladderatich, and thereby ruined his
political prospects just about as he was
being appointed minister 20 Hamburg.
The Kladderatich early last year was
engaged in publishing a series Of at
tacks on the foreign office and this led
to resentment on the part of certain
military clique, who prompted Baron
Won Observation-Disclosures to challenge
the editor OF the paper. Among the
things which the Kladderaticn at
tempted to prove was that Won Kfder-
lein-Waechter and Won Holstein really
nurtured the ill-feeling between Prince
Bismarck and Emperor William.
Won Bieberstein took the witness
stand, and denied being the author of
the article in question. Furthermore
he declared Kleser's statements were
completely unfounded. Won Bieberstein
also said he had written Kleser that he
should declare his statements to be
wholly untrue. General Won Caprivi
had sent similar information to the
Kladdefa itch.
In addition to Kleser, there were two
other defendants, Zimmerman and
Nessler. The court sentenced Kleser
and Nessler each to two months i'm
prisonment and Zimmerman was fined
$50 marks.

Denver, Colo, Nov. 2O.-The jury in
the case of DR.. Rudolph Price, charged
with performing an abortion on Miss
Ida Hume Jeffreys, a Grand Junction,
Coio., school teacher, disagreed after be-
ing out for several hours.
Some time ago, DR.. Price was sus-
pected of performing the same kind OF
an operation on a young woman from
Colorado Springs. He left Colorado and
turned up at Portland Ore, where he
remained for a time but was finally
located there and brought back. By
this time the witnesses in the case had
all left and the case could not be prose-
cuted.

SAVINGS BANK FAILS
A Run Given as the Reason For the
Closing of the Doors.

Portland. Or, Nov. 2o.-The Portland
Savings bank failed to open its doors
this morning. The lack of public con-
fidence and upremitting withdrawal of
deposits are given as reasons for the
closing Of the bank.
o. n. Denny has been appointed re-
ceiver and the bank Will go into liquida
tion.
The assets of the bank are given at
81. $50 O0O liabilities, ST. 100000 The closing
of the bank was doubtless precipitated
by the death of Frank Dekum, the presi
dent, about one month ago. The bank
first closed its doors in the panic of
1893, but resumed in May of this year
under an agreement with the depositors
that they were to draw out quarterly 10
per cent of their deposits. Many de-
positors refused to sign off under any
conditions and withdrew their deposits
