Prosecution Has Made its Show
ing Against the Officer.
SACKERSoN STRUCK FIRST
BUT M'DoNALD is SAID TO HAVE
TAKEN Has WATCH BEFORE.
Young Russell, the CoIored Crook,
Plead Guilty to Burglary and Put
His Memory to worI-Merkle
Found Guilty OF Aobb1ng Pros-
titute and Run Out of Town-The
Survivor of the Johnstown Flood
Other Cases.

The preliminary hearing in the case
of Officer Frank Mcdonald, charged
with robbery and also assault with
intent to kill, came up in police court
yesterday and the evidence for the
prosecution, was all given in. The
evidence for the defense will be OF
fered next Wednesday.
The evidence for the prosecution was
given by Emil Sackerson, the injured
man; DR.. Daily, who examined the
wounds; j. w George, who was with
Sackerson all day Wednesday,; William
III. Emnls, Edgar George, Annie Sack
erson and Martin Lawson. The stories
told generally agree that Sackerson
and George came back to the house
OF. Wednesday evening, after being
away most of the day. Sackerson
says he had not taken anything intoXi-
eating that day, but George testlhed
that he was about half drunk.
The story goes that Mcdonald ana
hobbs drove up to the house in cart
and Mcdonald jumped out and grabbed
Sackerson by the hand, saying:
81 arrest YOU
Sackerson asked for his warrant of
arrest and he pulled out a small piece
of paper, thrust it under Sackerson S
nose and put it back in his pocket.
Sackerson refused to go before hearing
the warrant read and Mcdonald called
on George to assist him in making the
arrest. George asked to see the war
rant and Mcdonald again pulled out
the piece of paper, thrust it under
Georges nose and put it back in his
pocket. George had nothing more to
do with the case
1t was agreed that Mcdonald then
reached over and took Sackerson's
watch out of his pocket, putting it in
his own pocket. Sackerson demanded
his watch and Mcdonald refused to
give it up, whereupon Sackerson
struck him and attempted to strike
him again. Then it was that the
shooting began. Mcdonald first
pressed his gun at Sackerson's stom-
ach and pulled the trigger. Fortu-
nate1y, the gun missed fire. Mcdonald
then stepped back, and the second
time the gun went off and the shot
came near Sackerson'S head. The
other details We're as related in The
Herald at the time.
Mcdonald asked for a continuance
until next Thursday. in order that Mr..
'Nebbs might be present to testify,
and the case was continued until that
day. The prosecution was represented
by Assistant County Attorney Harring-
ton, and Mcdonald by Attorney

AN ILLINOIS POLITICIAN.

ON the silver Question.

Hon. A. j. Barr Gives His Views
ON the Silver Question.
The Hon. A j. Barr and Mrs. Barr,
of Bloomington, Ill.,, are spending a. few
days in Salt Lake as part of a pleas
ure tour in the west Mr. Barr is the
junior member of the celebrated law
firm of Pollock & Barr. He is a strong
Democrat and an active politician and
took a prominent part in the recent
Democratic convention when the free
silver plank was adopted
Mr.. Barr is as decided in his free
coinage views as any of the silver adj
vocates of the west. He is convinced
that the silver issue is the most i'm
portant one of the day and believes
that a free coinage plank will be
placed in the Democratic platform in
1896 and that the next president will
be a free silver advocate.
In the state of Illinois the farmers
are strong for silver. During the past
twelve months, Mr.. Barr says, the
people of Illinois have made a study of
the financial question, and the conse-
quence is they have intelligently con-
Guided that the free coinage of silver
at ratio of 16 to / would he meas
ure which would confer a lasting boon
on the country.
Mr. and Mrs. Barr have visited the
various places of interest in and
around the city in company with Judge
and Mrs. Lochrie, whose guests they
are They are delighted with Salt
Lake and intend repeating their visit
at as early a date as possible.

WILL FILE A PROTEST.
BUSINESS MEN AGAINST THoSE
NOIsOME CATCH BASINS.
Health Department Has Already
Condemned Them and the People
Want Them Done Away With
Matchmaker WiicI<en Talks
About the Waste of Water By
the People.

Unless all signs fail there will be
the biggest kind of a protest read at
the next meeting of the city council
in relation to the filthy catch basin
from the business men of the city.
Patience has ceased to be virtue
with interested parties; those who live
along the two streets, State and Main,
where these disease breeding affairs
are located The business portion OF
the city has become so foul that pass
ers-by have to hold their noses at the
corners where the basins are located,
and that disease turks in the air is
apparent from the sayings of the
health commissioner.
Scarcity of water has great deal
to do with all this, to be sure, and it
is not really the fault of the water
master, who comes in for a share of the
blame, that this condition prevails.
When there is plenty of water there
is no complaint, for then the basins
are kept flushed and the foul smells
are not possible. But in these times
when the water supply is scarce, and
the quantity which flows down the
cutters is just sufficient to carry the
refuse into the basins and aid the fer
mentation, then it is that the null
SanceS exist.
The health department has con-
demued these affairs time and time
again, but all that has been said does
not seem to awaken the council to a
realizing sense.
Two remedies are proposed for the
situation-one that all the water now
used be shut off entirely and the other
that the catch basins be abolished en-
tirely. This last plan seems to meet
with the most favor from those most
deeply interested. 1t will cost about
$4,000 to do this work, but in the end
it is claimed the city will be the bet
ter for it. OF course relief will be
afforded as soon as the water supply
begins to Increase, but another dry
season will bring about the same state
of affairs as now exists.
Some action will be taken at the next
meeting of the council, as stated. 1t
will be called up in the shape of
monster petition, or else by a commit
tee of gentlemen who will appear be-
fore that body to speak upon the
question.
Speaking in relation to the question.
of water supply, Water Master
Wilcken said yesterday this city would
have to do something in the near flu
ture. There is no use in lodging the
question; what this city needs is more
water. The water master declared the
inhabitants here did not realize how
much water they use. They have been
accustomed to having all they need in
days gone by, and now when it is
scarce article they cannot bring them
selves to a, realization of the fact.
100 T1e.I1ro ion Of low,
in this city is go gallons per capita
per day-entirelY too much.

Home ard Abroad.

1t is the duty of everyone, whether
at home or travelling for pleasure or
business, to equip himself with the
remedy which will keep up strength
and prevent illness, and cure such ills
as are liable to come upon all in every
day life. For instance, Hoods Sar-
saparilla as a general tonic, and to
keep the blood pure and less liable to
absorb the germs of disease, will be
we'll nigh invaluable. Change of drink
ing water often causes serious trouble,
especially if one has been used to
spring water in the country. From a
few drops to a teaspoonful of Hood S
Sarsaparilla in a tumbler of water will
prevent the water having any injur-
ious effect.
Hoods Vegetable Pills. as a cathar-
tic, cause no discomfort, no disturb
ance, no loss of sleep. but assist the

results are effected in a natural and

CONGRESSMAN DORSEY RETURNS.
He viii Now Devote Most of His
Attention to Mercur Properties.

He Will Now Devote Most of His
Attention to Mercur Properties.
Hon. George w. Dorsey came in from
his old home in Nebraska yesterday
afternoon, after an absence of two
weeks, and for some time at least he
will devote his attention almost ex-
clusively to the development of prop
critics in the Camp Floyd district, in
which he is now interested There is
a strong probability of his branching
out with other propositions connected
with the district before the month is
much older. The gentleman knows a
good thing when he sees it and this
being true it is hardly likely that he
will allow any opportunity to escape.
He will probably not go out to make
an inspection of the Rover before Mon
day
Speaking of the conditions which ex-
list in his section of the state of Ne
braska. Mr.. Dorsey stated that while
it was becoming rather dry the crops
would be bountiful and the farmers
were much encouraged over the i'm
proved prospects.

Secretary Beatie, of the Bullion-Beck
and Champion Mining company. returned
from the properties of the company yes
terday morning after having paid off the
ports that the operations there are very
regular and the results of the develop
ment work being carried on underground
are satisfactory, even if not phenomenal.
There is a slight increase in the flow of
water from the Homansville springs, and
there the work of sinking shafts and
driving tunnels is to be continued The
mill is enabled to operate night and day
and treat in the neighborhood of $50 tons
every twenty-four hours. Most of the
ore going into the plant is taken from
The Caroline. The mines are shipping
about fifty or sixty tons of high-grade
ore every twenty-four hours.

M'MULLIN CONVICTED.
Fire and %oIdce Board Find the
Charges Sustained.

OHuFSeS sustained.
Fireman McMullin receiveds notice
yesterday that the board OF fire and
police commissioners had decided the
charge of intoxication in his case.
which was tried some weeks ago. was
sustained and that he was removed
from the department.
In the light of the evidence which
was adduced at the hearing, this an
nouncement will cause some surprise
1t was conceded by every paper in the
city, including the official organ of the
ire chief, that the charges fell far
short of being sustained. MeMullin
however, has not been notified by the
chief that he is suspended and is
working just the same What de-
VelomentS will follow cannot be antici-
pated at this time. Devine may con-
clude to keep him after all The chief
testified at the hearing that McMullin
was very competent man and that
he would be very sorry to lose him;
would souner keep him than not
The Herald has won victory in the
cases of Donovan and Sullivan. 1t
pointed out the absurdity of the
charges against these men when they
were filed and has from time to time
printed views from the leading citf-
zens of the city sustaining it in its
opinion. And the matter has ended
just as The Herald said it would
there has nothing come out of all this
fuss save that the city has been de-
prived of the services of the two men
all this time they have been under
suspension.
Just what effect this trial will have
upon the future conduct of the fire
department remains to be seen. but
one thing is certain, all this paper has
said is true and the suggestions which
have been made have nearly all been
adopted.

An eight-tenths interest in the Star
group of ruines near Silver City, Idaho
will speedily be incorporated under the
name of the Vanderbilt Mining com
pany. with a capital stock OF $15o,00O
1t is anticipated that at least one OF
the outstanding tenths will enter the
corporation right after its full organ
station, if not before. This interest is
owned Jointly by A. Z. Nichols, OF
HALEY, and Arnold Giaque, OF this
city. The interest that will not be IN
q -orporated is that of s3tarrh, one OF
he original owners of the properties.
ws-hat gentleman says he proposes TO
maintain possession of one-tenth
portion OF the mines and for the pur-
pose of securing a personal hold ne
has returned to Idaho. His hostile at
titude is not giving the other own
ers. who are all Salt Lake people, any
undue anxiety and they are preparing
for the fling of the articles of incor-
poration. The laws of the United
States and the state of Idaho give
them the right to incorporate anything
over a one-balf interest in mining
properties and this incorporation gives
them the possession of the properties
involved.
The Star group is said to be one of
the most promising in the southern
part of the state of Idaho and it is
the intention of the new company to
proceed with its development on an
extensive scale just as soon as the
necessary preparations can be made.
Recent assays from the face Of the
great ore bodies opened UP and ready
for the work Of extraction, gave re-
turns of $50 ounces in silver, 30 TO 50
per cent. lead and about 81 in gold.
There is any amount of this ore and

atoms are resumed in full the produc-
