CHARGES MADE AGAINST DEN
VER'S CITY COUNCIL.
Water Consumers Demand That the
City Fathers Carry Out Their
Pledges Made to EIectors-A sad
State of Affairs.

Denver, July 11.-Attorneys for wa
ter consumers began proceedings in
the district court today to compel the
city council TO carry out the contract
with the Denver Union Water COM
pany. requiring a reduction of rates to
the average of Chicago, st. Louis and
Cincinnati. Besides an alternative
writ of mandamus TO compel the pas
sage of an ordinance provided for in
the contract. the complaint asks that
injunctions be issued restraining the
company from shutting off water from
private consumers, and also compelling
the corporation, its agents and en-
ployeeS to desist from influencing the
members of the council to act con-
trary to their duty under the contract
The complaint charges that the mem
bers of the city administration, es-
pecially the cOuncilmen, secured their
election by making a pledge which
they have not redeemed, to adjust the
rates according to contract, and the
water company is accused of having,
by bribery, cajolery and threats. pre-
vented the passage of an ordinance
which would fulfill the provisions of
the contract.
At a conference between the mayor
and the members Of the city council!
today it was practically decided TO buy
the waterworks. The mayor will ask
the company to name a price and
terhs for its plant Immediately.

San Francisco, July 11.-Antonio Ezeta's
announcement Of his intention to return
to Salvador ut the head of an invading
party and become president CT that Cen
trail American republic, has created little
interest here. Dr. Cornelio Lemus. the
Salvadoreaa minister OF finance. who is
now in this city, says if Ezeta ever re-
turned to Salvador military protection
would be necessary to save his life from
the people long enough for him to be
tried. on the criminal charges pending
against him He would almost certainly
be lynched. United States District Attor-
ney Foote does not believe Ezeta has any
intention of returning TO Salvador. He
adds that if EZeta attempts to leave pore
in a vessel of his own he will be arrested
and have another trial in the United
States courts. The district attorney be-
lieves Ezeta is simply seeking personal
advertisement.

The other witnesses examined were
Constable Galley, John H. Blood, Al
fred Boynton, a son of the deceased,
and DR.. L. 1. Rich.
The latter corroborated that portion
of the defendants testimony which
related to the manner of the killing.
The doctor said the head had evil

No marks were on the body.
After concluding the taking of testi-
mony, Justice Galley bound the de-
PENDANT over to await the action Of
the grand jury, and remanded him to
the custody of Sheriff Sanders.
Now in the County Jail.
At the close of the trial Blamires
was taken out to a conveyance that
was in waiting. and after bidding mis-
brother goodbye in a perfectly natur-
al way, he was driven away to the
county jail, there to be held in GUS
today until the grand jury's next ses-
sion.
Thus the curtain falls on the first
scene of one of the most blood-freez-
ing tragedies in the criminal history
of Utah. What makes the case so very
remarkable and singular is the utter
Indifference of the accused man to his
fate. He is without visible interest. in
the outcome of his trial, and speaks
of it as a trivial affair.

GANGS OF THIEVES.
LAWLESS STATE OF AFFAIRS IN
NORTHERN NEBRASKA.
Vigorous Measures May Have to Be
Taken By the, Settlers TO Pro-
tect Themselves and Their Prop
erty.

Chicago, July IA dispatch from
Chamberlain, S. D., says: y Iawless state
of affairs exists in the north central por-
ton of Nebraska. and the adjacent terri
tory in South Dakota and only the most
vigorous measures on the part of the au-
thorities or the settlers themselves will
remedy many of the evils now existing.
For years, the country between Lyman
county, directly west of here, and Holt
and keya Paha counties, Neb., has been
infested by what appears to be an or
ganiZed gang of cattle and horse thieves.
Enough has been learned to make it a
certainty that this band has convenient
rendezvous at various points through the
fifty or sixty miles of territory where it
toward White river disappear with great
regularity, as also do cattle and horses
belonging to farmers and stockmen re-
siding throughout that portion of South
Dakota. This leads to the conclusion
that the thieves take the stock stolen
from South Dakota farmers and ranch
men and dispose of them to the settlers
in Nebraska.
Certain residents of the infested re-
gion who have no visible means of sup
port are suspected of being in league
with the thieves, but no positive evil
dence has as yet been secured against
them.
Gangs of horse and cattle thieves have
been practically wiped out of existence
on several occasions in northern Ne
braska and southern South Dakota dur
ing the last twenty years by the en-
ragged settlers, and there are h.-Acation
that the same effective measures will De
TeSOrted to again.
