The Secret Place was Discovered and
an Arrest Has Been Made.
Colfax, Sept. 17.-Last week Judge W.
N. Ruby took out to his ranch, where
he is harvesting, some 1915 to be used in
the payment of harvest hands. Being
afraid to carry this amount on his per-
son, he hid 1t about the house. 1t was
missed from the hiding place and suspic-
ion fell on Frank Hargis and watch was
placed on him by the officers few
days later Hargis left Mr. Ruby's and
came to Colfax, putting up at the Collins
house. Here the watch was kept up. and
suspicion being aroused by his spending
money rather more freely than was ex-
pected, a search of his room was made,
which revealed all but a few dollars Of
the stolen money hidden in the bedding.
A warrant was promptly issued by JUS
tice Doolittle and Hargis was arrested
and now lies in jail awaiting trial for
grand larceny.
Mr.. Hargis claims to have found the
money. The preliminary examination &C.

There is evidently something in the
wind in connection with the future of
the copper plant and those who should
be in d position to know whereof they
speak, assert that it is quite probable
an understanding will be reached
within the next few weeks. In the
event of favorable action being taken
on the propositions now under con-
sideration by the interested parties, a
settlement of the difficulties which
have surrounded the Salt Lake City
Copper Manufacturing company
would be accomplished and the COM
pletion and operation of the plant
speedily follow.
AS is generally known by the well
posted public, Mr. Harrison, father
in-law of C. M. Green, one of the
chief promoters of the enterprise, is
the holder of the heaviest individual
claims against the company, whose
aggregate of debts is but little less
than 100000, and it is said that the
gentleman will effect a compromise
with the other creditors of the COM
pany and thereby secure the control
of the property. He has no desire,
however, to complete the plant and
maintain it. but, on the other hand,

SHERIFF., HARRINGTON TALKS.
Thinks CoughIin Did Not Deserve
Any Considerat ton.

Sheriff Harrington, of Summit
county, who came in from Tooele with
the boys, made a statement which
robbed the defense of Coughlin of its
strength. His statement shows that
the officers near Wasatch had sufficient
excuse for opening fire on the cabin.
Harrington says that when he went up
to the sheep wagon in which Coughlin
and George were hidden just before
they went to Wasatch he rode down
on his horse and saw Coughlin sitting
there on the other side of the tongue
with his gun on his lap pointing in
Harringtons direction. The sheriff
had no idea that Coughlin would
shoot at him and went up and said:
Now, Patsy, put down that gun
and don't make a fool of yourself. l
want you to come along with me-"
He was disagreeably surprised how
ever, to have Coughlin raise his gun
and shoot through the horn of the
saddle The sheriff shows marks now
where part of the horn hit him in the
head. Harrington then retired some
little distance after firing one shot
into the wagon. Coughlin fired about
fifteen shots at him while he was down
on his knees trying to pick out a
cartridge that was stuck in his gun.
Sheriff Harrington has not very good
opinion of Coughlins craftsmanship
and believes after what happened that
the officers were perfectly justified in
shooting first.
Were at Mill Creek.
There seems to be no doubt that the
outlaws were in Mill Creek Friday and
Saturday, as stated in The Herald
When Food Inspector McAllister, who
was out on the chase, went in to see
Coughlin yesterday the boy immedi-
ately recognized him and told him he
had watched McAllister working
around the brush, telling him he came
very near shooting him af one time
telling evident More than that. the de
More than that, the description
given by the Anderson girl Of
Coughlin exactly TALES with his des-
cription now and it is quite
evident that the young man who said
he was in the brush was telling a
fairy story.
Half dozen other stories are going
the rounds about statements Cough
lin has made. He said to one of the
men that he guessed the old lady
would go dead broke" on him this
time.
Another of his vagaries was the
statement that he received on Sunday
a note from KoffOrd and Michel, the
Sanpete county murderers. and that
he would have met them yesterday if
he had not been captured The Of
hcers say that they must have been
in communication with somebody. as
they were given a Herald of a late

TILE SALT LAKE HERALDJ TUESDAY. AUGUST 6. 1895:

injustice. 1t has not sustained a heavy
loss at all. The deficiency was COM
paratively small and did not come
from the capital of the bank, but SIM
ply from the earnings. It amounted
to less than $4,000 and the effect was
simply to reduce the dividends from
to per cent. 1t will, therefore, be
readily seen that the matter was one
that did not affect or interest the de-
positors and patrons of the institution.
After Mr.. Cummings retirement an
expert was put to work on the books.
He completed his labors recently and
at the meeting of the board of direc-
tors yesterday detailed report was
made. This showed, as stated be-
fore, that the shortage was under $10,-
600. Mr. Cummings placed with the
bank securities said to practically
cover the amount, so that there will be
no loss to it.
1t is in order to correct the erroneous
reports that have been circulated that
the directors allow this official state
ment to be made. The bank is in
first-class condition, and it will I'M
doubtedly be in the future as in the
past, the regular dividend payer.

GEORGES STATEMENT.
He Seems to BE Much the Better of
the Two Outlaws.

In glaring contradistinction to the at
titude of Coughlin is the attitude of
George. He fully realizes the gravity
of the situation, and when seen by a
Herald reporter last night he said
that he believed he had made a fool
of himself, and if ever he got out of
this scrape he would know better than
to get into another. He said he felt
sorry for the folks, as he guessed they
We're very much worried over his cap
ture and actions, and he hoped they
would be comforted. He did F.ot seem
to think he had done anything credit
able
George did not care to talk much,
but to various persons who saw him
during the afternoon he said that he
had not taken any part in the Shoot
ing. He says that in the affair near
Evanston he did not fire a shot, as
he was too scared to use a gun. He
says that Coughlin first killed Dawes
and then crawled out of the window of
the shanty and along a ditch until he
got right behind Stage, who was
crawling in the grass toward the
cabin. He says Stage heard something
behind him and turned. AS he did so
COughlin fired and Stage died imme-
diately afterwards.
George was wounded in the affair
near Evanston. One bullet, coming
from the direction of Calverly and
Taylor. cut through his left leg just
below the skin, infiicting a flesh wound.
and another piece Of a bullet struck
his right leg and buried itself. Cough
lin dug part of this out with a pocket
knife and the rest was taken out last
night by DIR. Wright, who dressed
both wounds
George is evidently the better man
of the two. He makes plain,
straightforward statement of the
facts as he says they were. He says
the boys were not in town. Imme-
diately after they left the canyon, he
says, they struck out along the bench
and slept that night near Mount Oil
vet cemetery. The next day they
worked down towards the brush at
Mill Greek, avoiding everybody.
George gives as the reason he did not
surrender yesterday morning immedi-
ately that he was afraid he would get
shot if he showed himself. He said he
did not want to shoot the officers. He
seems much more likely to give a good
statement of what occurred than
Coughlin

INVESTIGATING MEXICAN MINES.
Salt Lake People May Interest
Themselves in Southern Proper

1t is not at all unlikely that a num-
Der of Salt Lake people will interest
themselves in the northern silver-lead
districts of the republic of Mexico
For some days past T. II. Booz has
been in the city for the purpose of
talking mines to gentlemen to whom
he brought letters. The gentleman
has in his possession some splendid
samples of silver and lead ores from
properties in which he is endeavoring
to interest local people. These mines
are located in Sabinal district.
Chihuhua, and Mr.. Booz states that
he has true vein fifteen inches in
width. the average values from which
run from 700 ounces to 500 ounces N
silver and 50 to Sc in gold with a
good showing of iron. Assays have
been received from the properties
which went as high as 5000 ounces
in the white metal. Nearly all cf the
silver which shows up N the ores is
of either the native or the Horn
quality and Mr.. BooZ is IF the opinion
that extensive development of the
properties Nill increase the previous
metal content.
Speaking yesterday of the mines in
which he has practically interested
certain people of this city, Mr.. Booz
said that he had opened the mines
to the extent of about 700 feet and the
showing of ore mad improved with
almost every foot of work done The
properties are located some distance
from the railroad but freight costs
less than $40 per ton and this leaves a
good profit on the 500 ounce ore.

ENCOURAGING SHOWING MADE.
New Bodies of Good Grade Orc En-
cOuntered in the Argent and
Wade Hampton.

Notwithstanding the order of the
court preventing the development of
certain portions of the lode, John
Corners is still hard at work on the
West Argent and the Wade Hampton,
and he reports that the showing gives
great encouragement. All of the ore
bodies being worked are without the
limits of the disputed territory in
volved in the suit planted by DR.. Roys
and some very rich strikes are re-
ported.
Mr.. Corners came in from Stockton
last evening for the purpose of selling
lot of ore shipped from the proper
ties. This consignment went to the
valley smelters. 1t is the intention of
the gentleman to make regular ship
ments.

REFERRED POWERS CLAIM.
Bullion-Beck Directors Declined to
Consider 1T Yesterday.

At a specially called meeting of the
board of directors of the Bullion-Beck,
held yesterday afternoon, NJ. L. Pow
ers presented a claim for personal
damages sustained through being
caught in a cave in the Beck, holding
that the company should do something
for him in his distress. The matter
was considered and then sent to the
insurance company, which either pays
or contests the claims made for per-
sonal injuries by employees of the
company.
There was no talk of dividend, and,
while no official action has yet been
taken. it is hardly likely that one will
be forthcoming this month. One of
the reasons for this is that the pay
ment of the 81 and SOC. dividends dur
ing the months of June and July
drained the treasury and another is
the decrease in ore shipments which
has taken place. The company is turn
ing its attention quite extensively to
