DOUBTLESS A FAKE.
Bishop Hammond Points Out the
Inaccuracies.


Bishop F. A. Hammond, of the San
Juan country, and who knows THAI
section of Utah most thoroughly. was
seen yesterday by reporter of the
News and said:
1.-The whole thing is a monumental
fake. That is. I would think so from
the great amount of untruth that it
contains.
In the first place there is no such
man in that section of the country as
Thomas Gorden, and never has been
ct is true that across the San Juan
river from Bluff there is a. reservation
of Navajo Indians, but it can also be
put down as being equally true that
no Golfer dam has been constructed
there by white men, because the very
first one that attempted it would lose
his scalp just as sure as the attempt
was made. 1 would not say that q
profitable discovery of gold has not
been made there since left home, but
I do not think So for 1 would have
heard of it through letters from my
family.
There is only one thing in the story
that seems to fit sn any way, and that
is as to the naS-~- of Thomas Gordon.
We have a man in the town whose
name is Gordon Johnson, a young, I'M
assuming German, who sas some pla-
Ger claims, which he has been quietly
working for year or two taking out
daily gold probably worth $3.50 or 81
not more than that. But he is a young
man of very moderate education, who
speaks the English language indiffer-
emily, and is not at all the kind OF
person to undertake such a mission "a
outlined. The school teacher at Bluff
is William Allen, of Goshen, a gradu-
ate of the Brigham Young academy,
of Provo.
Gas to the existence of gold in the
San Juan, that has been known for
twenty-five years. but it has also been
known that it was in such fine, -four
like particles that claims cannot be
profitably worked by any machinery
now in use"
Concluding the interview. Judge
Hammond said the whole thing bore
the earnarks of one Day, concerning
whom the people of Titan have heard
considerable during the past few
months in connection with Indian dis
turbances. To that same individual
was attributed two years ago the sem
sationa1 gold discovery fakes, which
at that time filed that part OF the
territory with prospectors from all
parts of the world.

HATTABAUGH'S SHORTAGE.
Ex-Treasurer of Latah is Said to Be
in Serious Trouble.
(SneciaI to The Herald


Boise. Ida, March 1S.-I. Z. Hafta-
baugh, the Moscow banker. who was
treasurer of Latah county up 20 the first
of the year, is said to be short $1,000 In
his accounts with the state, and there
is likely to be trouble over it. Hatta-
baugh has frequently promised to square
UP, and friends have made similar prom
Uses for him; but the state treasurer Is
still waiting for the money. 1t has been
determined to make a formal demand
before inaugurating proceedings against
the delinquent. A peculiarly interesting
feature of the matter is the allegation
that the late county treasurer's books
show that the money had been pad over
to the state.
Four desperate prisoners have escaped
from the Jail at Caldwell. They cut their
way out some time last night, the Jail be-
ing found empty this morning. The men
were confined in steel cage, through
which they sawed. One of them is a
cattle thief. one forger, and two are
highwaymen. Officers are searching Cor
them. but have secured no clue.

The Latest Report.

New York, March ia special dis
patch from Key West says:
The latest report is to the effect that
the schooner Irene was fired into and
dismasted by the Spanish cruiser In
fanta Isabel. The news was brought
to this city this afternoon by vessel
engaged in the cattle trade between
this part and the mainland.
The Irene is a small schooner owned
in this port by Canary islanders. She
has been employed in the fish trade all
winter, but within the past few days
returned with a party of court officials
from Fort Meyers where an important
murder trial has been held.
She afterwards sailed for the fish
ranch at Punta Gorda where. it was
reported, an expedition sailed for Cuba.
This point has been under surveil-
lance by the Spanish cruiser, and the
schooner was followed from here and
fired into.
This is the report given by fishermen
at the ranch to a vessel which has just
arrived.
The family and owner and the crew
of the Irene live here and considerable
alarm has been cccasioned by the news

Observation-Disclosures OUTCOME.

Key West, Fla, March 1S.-The chief
topic among the passengers by the
steamer just arrived from Havana,
was the unsa tisfactory outcome Of the
interview had by the commissioners
sent by the government to treat with
the rebel leaders in arms in the eastern
provinces. What inducements were of
fered by the commissioners for the
cessation of hostilities or what guaran-
tees were promised are not known, but
all propositions were rejected by the
insurgents They said they held the
situation and were in a position to die
tate their own terms. The entire press
editorially deprecates the result Of the
conference and asserts that it has done
more harm than good.

years old, and a lad of about II years
game of cards on the desperate plan
last night. They had empty pistols at
their right hands, and occasionally
they would snap the guns at each
other just for fun" when either tried
to cheat.
Along about 1 o'clock young Wool
sey left the room few minutes. and
De Shazo slipped a cartridge in Wool
sey's gun and replaced it on the table
before he came back.
The game was resumed and De
Shazo's next cheat resulted in a trag-
edy. Woolsey demanded the return OF
some chips and emphasized the demand
by taking deliberate aim at his friend
and swapping.
Escape n Wonder.
There was a loud report and blood
gushed from an ugly wound directly
between De Shazo's eyes, but, strange
to say, he was not rendered uncon-
scious. The boy was frantic. He rushed
into a neighbours and summoned aid
Drs. Rich and Ingram were called,
and they worked several hours probing
for the ball. Part of the bullet was
extracted from the forehead, but it
had split and the other part has not
been located.
DR.. Rich said today he saw no rea-
son why the patient should not re-
cover. 1t was a close call, however,
and even though it should prove fatal
blame could not be attached to Wool
sey, for De Shazo was the direct cause
of his own misfortune.
Between the Eyes.
The pistol that did the damage was
a 3S-calibre. That De Shazo was not
killed outright is due to the fact that
the ball struck just a fraction Of an
inch too low to enter the brain. This
afternoon De Shazo is resting easily.

then traced the history of the two
parties, with their principal acts, up
to the present time Turning to the
subject of what the Democratic party
has done for Utah he reminded his
hearers Of the privations that had
been suffered by the settlers and the
fact that the only relief they have
ever had has come from Democratic
sources. He said the settlers came
here with Democratic feelings. They
loved freedom. They were industrious
and frugal. He said he felt very
charitable toward the Republicans. He
had no bitterness to return for their
differences, and closed with a tribute
to the honesty, earnestness and good
ness of the women of Utah, which
provoked great enthusiasm.
DR.. Cannon took the women's view
of the questions presented by politics
and told why she is a Democrat and
why other women should be Demo-
Gratis. She said that the Democrats
were for the greatest possible liberty,
while the Republicans were for re-
strictions. Love of liberty is inherited
from our Pilgrim Fathers. The
speaker urged women to register and

ence might be felt Immediately in our

Karl Cannon, Son of George O., run
Into by u Train.
Karl Q. Cannon, the 14-year-old son
OF George Q. Cannon, had a close call
for his life yesterday morning. The
lad was driving a buggy and when
crossing the Rio Grande Western rail-
way track at fe,e intersection of Fifth
West and Tenth South streets was run
into by a passing train. The engine
struck the buggy squarely on the side.
fortunately, throwing the boy out and
landing him in a stream of water by
the track, so that he sustained no in
juries of any consequence.
The horse was instantly killed and
it's body carried a considerable dis
lance on the pilot, while the buggy
was splintered into match wood and
the harness torn into little bits.
The engine whistle was blown twice
as the train approached the crossing,
but as the train was hidden from view
by a thick growth of tall weeds. the
boy thought it had stopped and under
that impression proceeded to cross the
track when it dashed into the
vehicle.
