handed down his decision in the i'm
portant mining suit of Henry Den
halter and Frank Hoffman VS.. the
South Galena Consolidated Mining
company ct al Hearing on the case

cover $500, 900, the value Of the ores al
legged to have been unlawfully taken
from the Highland mine in Bingham
canyon during the years 1888, 1889 and
1890. The defendants put in an an
SWer and cross complaint, claiming
that the apex of the vein was in their
property, the South Galena, and that
they had right to the ores taken.
The hearing was had on the defend
ANTS cross complaint. His honor de-
cided the case by giving judgment for
the plaintiff for the value of the ores.

BORDENTOWN, N. j., Oct. 24.-The
cry of the auctioneer has been heard

sides, the home of Mrs. Della S. Par

birthplace of the mother Of Charles
Stewart ParneH, and which has been
her residence for many years, is prac-

There was much sympathy expressed
at the public sale for the woman
whose cherished belongings the crowd
was bidding for. Ironsides is one of
the most famous places in this section
of New Jersey and the history attach

KNAPP'S REJOINDER.
IN ANSWER TO MIR. CHANDLER.
DISCUSSES CONSOLIDATION.
1t is Not an Unmi1ed EviI-Beiieves
the Principle of Association
Should Be Applied to Public
transactions.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-Interstate
Commerce Commissioner Martin A.
Knapp has written an open letter TO
Senator Chandler of New Hampshire. in
reply to the latters criticism of him
IN connection with the new trunk line
agreement.
Mr.. Knapp says his published state
ments must not be attributed to the
commission and reiterates his assertion
that the detection and punishment of
crimes created by the Interstate Com
merce statute is only an incident to the
ture with which the commission has no
power to deal. He added that the courts
seem to have reached a conclusion diff
terent from the view taken by Senator
Chandler that the alleged agreement
that the trunk lines are about to enter
into is illegal and criminal under either
the anti-pooling or antitrust laws. He
concludes as follows:
1T is evident that no combination of
carriers. whether formed in evasion of
existing laws or organized under legal
lied pooling can be more powerful or
alarming than their actual consolidation.
In the New England states the process
of absorption, in one way or another
has gone on until there is now practi-
cally no competition in the railroad SER
vice of that section. So far as [ am
aware, this consolidation has not re-
suited in any increase of charges, but
on the contrary has been attended by
conSid erable reductions in rates by i'm
proved facilities and the better accom-
mediation of the public. Fewer COM
plants come to US from that region than
from any other part of the country.
believe the people in that territory would
not welcome a return to Competitive
conditions. I am yet to be convinced
that similar results might not fairly be
expected if cooperative action should
be substituted for compulsory warfare
on a broader scale in a more extensive
field. In short, I believe the principle of
association should be applied to public
transactions; that the power to 'regu-
late commerce should be exerted to Sc
cure firm and unquestioned control Of
the rates in charges which carriers may
exact"

There was a quiet gathering OF those
sheepmen whose focks are ranging IN
the western part of the state of Wyo-
ming in this city yesterday afternoon
for the purpose of considering the
several important matters in connec"
ton with the coming contest over
range lands in the state named. Some
days ago The Herald gave the news
of the bringing of the suit and then
stated that preparations were being
made for the contest of the case. 1t
was in line with these preparations
that the hockowners interested, either
directly or indirectly, got together yes
terday and discussed the various phases
of the situation. They are firm in the
determination to make battle royal
and agreed upon Brown & Henderson
as their attorneys in the contest, with
the probability that additional legal
talent viii be engaged.
This case that IS attracting so much
attention and exciting so much inter-
est is one that has grown out of an
alleged trespdSs of sheep upon railroad
lands in the western part of the state
of Wyoming. 1t is understood to be
test suit and upon its issue will be
people in regard to the use of govern
ment grant lands by sheepmen. Some
time ago the Union Pacific Land &
Cattle company was organized, pre-
sumably by cattlemen, and from the
railroad it leased and purchase in the
neighbOrhoOd Of 800 900 acres of land
with the understanding that the own
ers Of f1Ochs that have ranged over the
districts involved should have the
Tiubf n 6o
land for term Of years. At first the
sheepmen looked with some favor up
on the proposition and then they came
to the conclusion that it was simply
a scheme of the railroad land depart
ment and the cattlemen and they de-
chned through their regular organi-
Zation to either lease or purchase.
Despite this agreement. or understands
ing. however, a few owners made pur-
chases Of heavy tracts with the idea
of making them permanent ranches.
The great majority of the Sheepmen
fatty refused to listen to any Of the
propositions submitted by the other
side. however, and made the same use
OF the unfenced lands that they had for
years past. 1t was only the question of
a short time when the omen rupt11ra
would come and that time arrived
some weeks ago when one of the sheep
men drove his flOcks over the disputed
ground. His arrest on the charge of
trespass followed and the test was on.
Very naturally, the Sheep Growers as
ISOLATION rushed to the defense of the
stand taken by its member
One Of the claims of the sheepmen
is that before the railroad company
can prevent the driving or ranging Of
sheep or cattle over its lands it must
first fence the same This stand is
based upon the decision Of the supreme
court of the United States in the IA
nous case Of the Central Pacific vs..
butora' IN which practically the same
be raised in the coming contest.

WIRES COMING DOWN.
salt Lake and Ogden Electric Light
Company Will Make More
Changes.

1t has been decided by the manage
ment and board of directors Of the salt
Lake and Ogden Gas and Electric
Light company that other and even
more important changes than those al
ready made are necessary in the com
mercial system of the company and it
is but the question Of a short time
when the great mass of wires now
maintained by the company viii be
reduced TO four feed wires. General
Manager Hayward stated yesterday
that the Improvement would be made
just as soon as the company could get
around TO it and it was his intention
to remove the many unsightly wires
from the principal business streets of
the city and so simplify the CONNER
cial system that it would be supplied
with electricity through four wires.
This change would be much appreci-
ated by the citizens Of Salt Lake. for
The clearing of the streets is something
they have long contended for
The announcement that the company
has in contamination the erection of a
block in which would he located of
fees and distribution station was ex-
4remely premature. TO say the least
No such decision has been arrived at
by the board of directors and neither
has the matter been formally con-
sidered. II is possible that the future
may bring about such a desirable con-
summation.
With the coming Of the Citizens
Electric Light company into the local
field there has been engendered a fierce
desire for supremacy and the-two insti-
tutions are prepared to plunge the
knife into each other every time the
opportunity offers. AS far as known
there has been no cutting of rates to
date. but what the near future may
bring forth is problematical

PROSECUTION OPENS.
DEATH PENALTY STARING DUR
RANT IN THE FACE.
PeixOttO Opens the Argument, Re-
views the Evidence and InyOkes
the Denth Sentence-Durrant Still
Apparently Indifferent.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 24-Assistant
District Attorney Peixotto today made
the opening argument for the prosecu-
ton in the trial of Theodore Durrant.
When court convened General Dick
inson asked that Miss Cunningham be
recalled, but she was only asked a few
unimportant questions and then ex-
cused. The remainder of the day was
occupied by Mr.. Peixotto. He dis
cussed the evidence in the. case from
the time Durrant accompanied Miss
Lamont to school on the morning of
April until he appeared before organ
ist King in Emanuel Baptist church at
5 o'clock in the afternoon, pale. tremb-
ling and excited. He closed by asking
the jury to uphold the laws of the
state by rendering q verdict of guilty
and fixing the penalty at death.
DGring Mr.. Peixotto's argument the
court room was crowded. Rev. l.
George Gibson of Emanuel Baptist
church and his secretary. Robert n.
Lynch, occupied seats near the jury
box and paid close attention Ito the
speaker. Durrant sat stolid and indif-
ferent in his usual place beside his at
torneys surrounded by his father and
mother and a number of friends. Dur
rant betrayed no emotion or feeling
even when accused Of murders that
were compared with the crimes of
Jack the Ripper in the Whitechapel
district Of London. His mother, how
ever, looked more thoughtful and de-
pressed than she has at any other time
since the trial began. When Mr..
Peixoto closed his argument at $50
o'clock General Dickinson for the de-
Tense asked for a continuance until
Monday in order that Attorney Deu-
prey might make the opening argu-
merit for the defense. He produced a
certificate from Mr. Deuprey's physf-
clan to the effect that he was unable
TO appear in court at present but would
probably be well enough to resume his
duties on Monday. District Attorney
Barnes objected to the delay, and as
the court was opposed to granting a
continuance the motion was denied.
