COURT AT BEAVER.
Chester l.. De Witt Sentenced and
Severely Lectured-Other Cases.
(Snecial to The Herald

BEAVER. Utah, Nov 22-The jury,
which was out all night on the Jack
Moore and Lars Thompson case, this
morning returned a verdict of guilty of
grand larceny as to both defendants
The evidence in this case showed that
the calf claimed to have been stolen
was branded by J. 3. Burr, the man for
whom the defendants were working
That after branding it, they drove the
calf down to where the main witnesses
were and told them that they had made
a mistake and did not know it until the
calf ran to it's mother. How the jury
found this verdict is a matter within their
own bosoms, for nearly all who heard
the testimony We're greatly surprised and
thought 1t an unjust verdict
George Davis, convicted of assault with
a deadly weapon with intent to do bodily
harm, was sentenced to the penitentiary
for eight months.
Chester L. Dewitt, who was indicted
for assault with intent to commit rape,
but found guilty of battery, was sentenced
to six months in the county Jail of Piute
county.
In passing sentence, the court gave the
defendant a reprimand, which must have
QCCp liitO Tic uSdiI VI the boy,
and will have its weight in the commun-
ity generally. While he believed the jury
had acted conscientiously yet he felt
from the evidence and from the fact
that the boy had been trying to villify
the girl in places in Beaver and else
where since his attempted outrage, that
he was guilty of the offense as charged,
and believed that five years in the peni-
Tertiary would not be too great a pun
ishment, and if it were in his power he
would have SO dealt with him He also
added that the aspersions that were
sought to be cast upon the girl, Laura
NJ. Tate, in the case, appeared from the
evidence to be groundless.
The grand jury made its final report
this afternoon and was discharged
The case of Parowan City against Will
lam Adams was dismissed for want of
Jurisdiction.

the exception,

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-The
knights of Labor general assembly to-
day selected Rochester, N. Y, as tine
place for holding it's next annual
meeting
The assembly, after a long discus
sion, adopted by a large vote the plan
limiting the service of general officers
of the order, the master workman and
members of the executive board, Sec
rotary and treasurer to two success
sive terms. The only officers this
would apply to, are Messrs. Hayes and
Mcclure, but there was no purpose to
make the change apply specially to
them. Those changes must be referred
to district assemblies for approval.
Another important change under
consideration is for the election of two
members of the general executive
board every year, instead of having
all four chosen at one time. A final
decision on this has not been reached.
The report of the finance committee
was received and approved. It had
been expected that this might excite
some criticism. The committee found,
however, that the accounts were in the
best of order but recommended that
the fiscal year of the order be made
to end on September 80 instead of June
So This recommendation was ap-
proved
The general, assembly after some
discussion, endorsed the boycott of Ia
tional bank notes ordered by Mr..
Sovereign last spring. The use of
militia in the settlement of labor
troubles was condemned and the gov
eminent ownership of the highways of
commerce was advocated. An invita-
ton was issued to all the national and
International unions to JOIN the
Knights of Labor in grand ia5cr
congress July 4, 1896, with the pu-pcse
of harmonizing the organization Of
labor. Grand Master Workman
Sovereign was elected a delegate to
the international labor union to meet
III London next August, with I. j.
o Reilly, of Brooklyn as alternate
A general boycott of the Lorillar3
Tobacco company was ordered. The
following telegram was sent to Eugene
V. Debs, at the reception rendered him

Labor halls the celebration of your re-
lease from Illegal imprisonment as an
uprising Of the general public against
the introduction of autocratic czarism

Resolutions condemning the supreme
court of the United States, the federal
judiciary of California and Illinois was
adopted and also resolutions recon-
amending the election of federal judges
by the people. Tonight the assembly
adjourned sine die.

planned at some length how a. move
ment was on foot for the trunk line
presidents to get together and fix up
an agreement more binding and far
reaching than ever before adopted in
the annals of railroading. 1t has been
working ever since. The meeting held
in New York the other day was proli-
fic of just such results.
The agreement will continue in ex-
istence for five years, subject to ninety
days written notice by any company,
of a desire to retire therefrom The
agreement will be signed at the head
quarters of the different contracting
roads before Jan. 1, 1886, they all hav-
ing agreed to it. After agreeing to
this. the presidents of the roads adj
tourned until Dec. H. Particulars of
the agreement have already been pub
lished in The Herald.
All applications for differentials and
for changes in rates, fares and rules
will be made to the board of managers
Its action upon all matters, save rates
and fares. shall be subject to appeal to
the arbitrator. Their action as to
rates and fares shall be subject to
appeal only to the board of control.
The managers shall from time to time
recommend such changes in rates and
fares as they deem just and reason
able. No manager, however. has the
right. without the consent of the board,
to change its rates or fares.
Any violation of the agreement by
any of the contracting parties shall
be punishable by a fine not exceeding
$4,000, but where the gross receipts of
the transaction exceed $4,000 the Offend
ing party shall forfeit a sum not ex-
ceeding the gross receipts. The forfeit
lures so made shall go toward the pay
ment of the expenses of the associa-
ton, except that offending company
shall not participate in such applica-
ton of it's own forfeiture.

PACIFIC FUNDING BILL.
Editor ROsewater in Company With
Mayor Sutro.

Mayor Sutro.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 22.-Editor
Rosewater of the Omaha Bee has COM
ing the status of the Pacific railroad
funding bill. He thinks some concert
ed action should be taken by the cities
along the line of the roads to defeat
the refunding schemes. In letter to
Mayor Sutro he says: You have doubt
less noted the recommendations made
by the government directors of the
Union Pacific railroad, and the scheme
of reorganization by the Viandebflt
syndicate. 1t seems to me that-all the
people west of the Missouri are vi
tally concerned in the winding up OF
the Union and Central Pacific rail-
years has been that the mortgages
should be foreclosed and the roads sold
to the highest bidder and operated on
an actual value basis, under such re-
strictions as might be deemed neces-
sary for the protection of the patrons
of the road and the prevention of eX-
cessive rates. 1 consider any scheme Of
reorganization that simply proposes the
refunding of the present colossal debt
and continuance of the excessive eX-
actions to pay fixed charges on ficti-
tious valuations a menace to the
country traversed by the Pacific roads.
1t seems to me some concerted action
should be taken by the cities on the
line of the Pacific railroads, as we'll
as the states traverSed by the roads,
to impress upon congress the popular
demand for relief and, if possible, to
prevent the passage of any law that
will countenance any of the refunding

terrors of war were seen. The enemy,
as they were retreating, were reinforced
