night by five masked men, shortly after
6 o'clock. Two covered the motOrman
and conductor and the other three en-
tered the car with drawn revolvers
There were eighteen passengers. The
women screamed and those of the men
who made a movement to escape, were
given the opportunity to look into the
mouth of a cooked revolver. When
the passengers were under control, one
of the robbers quickly passed down the
car, appropriating the valuables of
everyone present. Within five min
utes the hold up was a thing of the
past. the robbers had escaped and the
car was speeding on again. The con-
ductor lost all the fares he had col
lected during the day and some of the
passengers were relieved of watches
and money to the extent of several
hundred dollars. Several persons are
reported to have been badly injured by
the robbers.

SUIT AGAINST CARNEGIE.
1t Created NO Surprise Among Those
Who Knew.

Washington, May .22-The filing of
suit in Pittsburg yesterday by the
French arnor firm of Schneider &,
Co. against the Carnegie Steel COM
pany, to restrain the latter from max
ing armor of nickel steel for the
United States government without
payment of royalty, on the ground of
infringement of the patent held by the
Schneider company. caused no sur
prise at the navy department
The navy department has gone on
record "a most unusual proceeding
in declaring that the Schneider pat
ent is not valid.
This wa done at a time when the
department made its contracts with
the Carnegie company in 1892 for ar
NOR. Among a lot of whereases and
after a recital of the fact that GER
tain claim to control the right to
make armor plate containing nickel,
was this language
Whereas, The party of the second
part (the navy Department. declines
to recognize the claims of said pat
entee and pay the royalty demanded
of them, said royalty being two cents
per pound upon finished armor.

tractor against just such a suit as has
been brought, the contract provided
that money equal to the royalty en-
each plate accepted by the govern
ment should be laid aside in a reposi-
tory and in case a court of competent
jurisdiction should find the patent in
valid, the money should be paid into
the treasury. So, as it stands, the
Carnegie company cannOt4lose by this
suit, if the decision is in favor of the
French company. and the suit is there
fore really against the United States
government.
The defense of the Carnegie COM
pany will ibe based on two contentious,
first that the entire Schneider patent
is invalid because a simple alloy can
not be patented under our laws, and
because the particular properties of
this alloy had been made known to
the world before the issue of the pat
ent, by publication in the proceed
ings of the British Iron and Steel in
stitute of 1890, of a paper prepared by
Professor Riley, then an eminent
British metallurgist. This publication
had attracted the attention of the
naval ordnance bureau before the
French nickel steel plate was sub
mitted for the celebrated trial at In
dian Head in 1890.
The second plea of the Carnegie
is that they do not make
their nickel in the manner prescribed
n the formula of the Schneider pat
ant This contemplates the mixture of
metallic nickel with molten steel, but
t is worked into ingots. The Carne-
gie company uses nickel oxide, a min

California People Looking to Utah
For Investments.

California people are turning their at
tention toward this territory as a place
for the safe investment of idle capital,
and many inquiries are being received
from the coast regarding real estate in
this city. W. E. Hubbard yesterday sold
to T. L. Stroever. of Oroville. California,
three lots in Oakley for $3.50, and he is
negotiating with other western people Tor
the purchase of lots in the same addition.
Arrangements are being perfected for
the issuance of another pamphlet on Utah
and it is more than likely that an edition
will leave the presses within the coming
month. The Union Pacific is also taking
great interest in the advertising of the
territory, and its immigra ton department
now has in the hands of the printers a
neat pamphlet covering interesting points
TO prospective investors. This edition is
to be made up of not less than 10000 cop
les.
J. J. Flahiff. of Hot Springs, Arkansas,
has been attracted here by the good re-
ports which have been sent out by people
visiting the territory and he intends max

The territorial board of equaliza-
ton yesterday morning commenced its
annual session. the special work being
phone and telegraph properties for
the year 1895. The power of assess
ment is conferred upon the board by
the territorial statutes and usually
it requires in the neighborhood of
three or four days to complete the fix

There were present when the session
opened, Messsrs. Robert c. Lund of

L. Booth of Provo, Joseph Judd of
Manti, W. W. Vaughan of Logan, and
Secretary Thomas of Salt Lake. Mr..
Sowles was unable to be present on
account of illness. while President
Dooly is still in San Francisco. In his
absence Mr.. Lund presided over the
deliberations Of the board.
1t is a little early yet to prognosticate
as to the probable result of the work of
the board, but it is hardly thought
that there will be any material
changes in the assessment of the pre-
vious year. There is a possibility Of
decreases being made in some of the
valuations of 1894. but these will not
be extreme, for the board was very
careful in its work last year, and the
companies received very careful con-

SOME CHANGES COMING.
Local Insurance Board to BE Man.
aged on Different Lines.

There are to be some good healthy
changes in the local insurance situa-
ton within the next two or three days
or at least in the management of the
local board of fire underwriters. It
has been demonstrated that the work.
ing of the relief committee provision
of the by laws does not give general
satisfaction, and the proposition now
under consideration is to do away
with the Objectionable feature and
place the mana cement of the affairs
of the board in the hands Of a disin-
terested party. That person will I'M
doubtedly be Captain Donnell of the
local branch of the board of Are IN
derwriters of the Pacific, and tho
headquarters Of the local board will
hereafter be in the offices of the
parent compact.
For some time past the complaints
of the members of the local board
have been many on account of their
being forced to make public their
business to a committee made up OF
competitors, and at last the objec-
tions have taken the form of set Of
resolutions which provide for sort
of reorganization of the mana cement
of the inside business of the
board 1t is deemed advisable to vest
the executive powers heretofore pcs
sessed by the relief committee in a
non-member of the board and an en-
tirely disinterested party. The new
manager will pass upon all complaints
and also investigate eXpiratiOns about
which there has been any question
raised or the assured is in any way de-
sirous of a change. Heretofore all
questionable matters connected with
the detail work have been subject to
cor11fi-1T- action IF the relief
committee and it was beyond the
power of any agent to write a rolicy
at cut rate without first receiving the
sanctions of the committee. Another
meeting of the board will be held on
Friday afternoon and at that meeting
viii be considered the resolution re-
ferred to, which is now on the table
awaiting further action at the hands of
the members of the board.
The local agents are still sadly in
lack of information of a definite nature
as to the condition of insurance af-
fairs on the coast although some
special intelligence has been expected
for the past few days. General Agent
Mann, of the firm of Mann e Wilson,
was expected to reach San Francisco
on Tuesday on his return from Eng
land, where he went for the purpose
Of laying before the foreign home Of
fees a report as to the situation in the
Pacific coast states and territories.
The result of this visit to the head
quarters of the English companies do
ing business in the west, is expected to
be for good and it will not surprise |

CATTLE MOVEMENTS SCHEDULED.
Southern Utah VIII Put Out Some
Great Bunches Next Month.

Some heavy cattle shipments are to
be made from the southern part of the
territory during the coming month and
it is estimated by conservative people
that the counties of Kane and Wash
ington will turn out in the neighbour
hood of 5000 head of steers and stock
cattle purchased by B. F. Saunders,
Preston Nutter and other buyers. The
round-ups are now under way and de-
HyerieS are made as fast as the cattle
are driven in and branded. Through
these great movements the people of
the extreme southern part of the terri
tory will derive considerable revenue
this spring and hard times will have
no place in the south.
Deliveries of the cattle on the Canaan
ranches are to commence within the
next few days. President Andrus, of
the company, is now out ON the ranges
with his men, and branding chutes are
being made ON Short creek. The mouth
of Cottonwood canyon is being fenced
in order that a natural pasture in
which the steers and cows which are
to be shipped north can be held, may
be formed.
Quill Nebeker is still in the
Buckskin mountains gathering the
steers which he will ship from

there will be in the neighborhood of

ranch on hay and grain. His expert

cattle, for shipment to the north and
east. Out at Thompson's B. f. Saund-

head of steers to Nebraska parties
and at Caldwell and Eagle Rock,
Idaho, there will be about 1000 head
more. Orders are already being placed
with the railroad companies for cars
and the roads are heading all the avail

Reports from the southern part OF
the territory and, in fact, from all
other sections, are to the effect that
the ranges never were in better condi-

proved the salvation of the stock inter-
ests and cattle are in splendid shape,
better than for ten years past at this
time of the year. Sheep are also doing
well on their ranges.
