HATFIETlD HANGED.
His Friends Fail to Carry Out Their
Threat 10 Rescue Him.

w hACsCNC
Sneedville, Tenn, Dec. 16.-Maired Hat
field, a relative of the notorious Hatfields
of Kentucky and West Virginia, was
hanged here to-day. With woman nam-
ed Haney Jordan he waylaid and killed
Jones Trail, a dealer in Illicit whisky, on
March 25. The details of the murder were
sickening. The woman helped Hatfield TO
rob their victim. Hatfield was found gull
ty of murder in the first degree. An ap-
peal to the state supreme court was Of no
avail.
The Jordan woman was never arrested
and she was not known to be connected
with the crime until the confession Of
Hatfield, made just before he was baptiz-
ed last Sunday. His wife and man nam
ed Charles Collins were also named as
helping to plan the murder. This was the
first legal execution In the history of Han
cock county, which has been in the past
the scene of many murders. In the peni-
tentiary four men are serving life terms
for murder in the county.

Aid in the Fight For Liberty.
Chicago, Dec. 16.-The Cuban agitation
all through the United States has become
so acute since the Presidents message and
the death of Maceo that Chairman Cra-
gin of the local Cuban relief committee
decided to-day, after a conference with
his associates, to call general meeting
of the committee of 100 prominent citi-
zens at the Union League Club Friday af-
ternoon to consider the local state of af-
fairs and prepare for the contingency Of
congressional action in favor of the Gu
bans. Mr.. Cragin estimates the number
OF patriotic young men who have applied
lor enlistment in the Cuban army from
this city at 500. In the last few days there
mas been large increase. The committee
IS not receiving any applications because
The laws forbid such enlistments, but it
Is well known that there is almost daily
exodus of men in small bodies, so that no
attention has been attracted. Members
OF the Chicago regiment of the national
guard are anxious to help the Cubans as
soon as belligent rights are accorded.

ANOTHER STRONG COMPANY.

Good Men Associated Together to
Develop Good Property.
Mercur has been extremely fortunate
of late because if the incorporation of
several strong companies for the de-
velopment and manipulation OF some
of the choicest ground to be found IN
the camp, and we believe that those
who are the most directly interested in
the growth and welfare Of the district
are to be congratulated upon this fact
Yesterday the Raven Gold Mining
company filed its articles of incorpora-
ton and announced that it was its
intention to thoroughly develop the
promising property on Which It based
its organization, which, from its de-
sirable location, would lead those &C
ouainted with the formation of the dis
trict to believe that with but little
work the group would be transferred
from prospect into a producing mine
and a dividend paying proposition.
The Raven is a strong company,
financially, and also because of the ex-
perience of number of its insorpo-
rators, who have heretofore figured
prominently in big and successful min
ing enterprises, and in other lines of
business in which they have met with
marked success.
In looking over the official roster and
the list of directors Of the Raven COM
pany, we find that the president of
the organization is Theodore Bruback,
who is also the president of the San
pete Valley railroad, the Marion Min
ing company, the Golden Gate Water
company, and the Herschel Mining
company; that the vice president and
general manager is A. J. Dutton,
well-known and successful mining OPP
orator and real estate dealer; that w.
s. Mccormick, of Mccormick & Co.,
bankers, is treasurer; and that these,
with Josiah Burnett and Judge Jacob
3. Blair, compose the directory, while
S. T. Pearson. the secretary of the
Herschel and Marion mining compan-
les and of the Sanpete Valley railroad,
has been selected to serve in a similar
capacity for the new company.

pany has been placed at 900, 900 shares
of par value of S., 100000 of which
has been set aside as treasury or work
ing capital stock; while the group of
claims owned by the company COM
prfses the Raven No. 1, Raven No. 2,
Raven No. and the Rose r lodes, in
Camp Floyd district, south Of the
great Mercur mine and adjoining the
Hillside group, the Eagle mine and the
Elmwood property recently purchased
by Hon. George w. E. Dorsey's Ne
braska friends, besides which the
group is located near the Glencoe and
Annie properties and the Matte group.
The Raven shaft, which is now down
100 feet in very promising looking
ground, is one of the few workings in
that locality that has been sunk from
the surface on mineral; in the sinking
of which rock has been taken that has
shown spots of cinnibar thereon,
which is one of the best indications
OF the presence of pay ore to be found
in the district. Work on this shaft is
being pushed as rapidly as possible,
and it is believed that within another
100 feet the wonderful ore zone of the
camp will be encountered.
The Raven is to be listed with the
Salt Lake Mining exchange, and also
with several other eastern exchanges.
The company will place on the mar
ket $4,000 shares of its treasury stock
at ten cents a share, the proceeds of
which will be expended in the de-
Velopment Of the property.

RAN AMUCK.
A CHICAGO ALDERMAN MAKES A
SPECTACLE OF HIMSELF.
Defies the Police Force and Is
Thumped, Battered and Rolled in
the Mud Ere He Is Pacifed.

CHICAGO, March 3.-Alderman Will
liam ]. Doerr ran amuck last night and
within an hour after he began to run
he was dragged into the central police
station covered with mud his nose
bleeding. his face stratched and ragged
fragments of what had been his coat
were dangling from his shoulders.
1t took half dozen officers to get
him to the police station. He was only
quoted when he was thrown fat on the
floor and corpulent copper was seat
ed on his chest.
Doerr began his rampage by running
into a trolley car with a. buggy. Then
he clinched the car and tried to trash
the motorman. The conductor came
to the rescue and Doerr tried to shoot
him. They fought all over the car
and finally a policeman dragged the
alderman into the street. This suited
the alderman, and he fought the police
man on the sidewalk, on the car track
and then in the cutters. When more
policemen came he tried them as well.
He was thumped, battered and rolled
in the mud, but he could not be paci-
fed. Nothing suited him. Finally he
was dragged to the station and as the
fat officer roasted on his respiratory
apparatus the alderman gave it up.
He was bailed out by friends.

NEW BOARD ELECTED.
Annual Meeting of the Stockholders
of the N. A. Natural Gas 81 Fuel
COmpany.

The annual meeting of the stockhold-
ers of the New American Natural Gas
and Fuel company was held yesterday,
10000 shares of stock being represen-
ted.
The list of officers and directors cleo
ted to serve for the ensuing year is as
H. Y. Van PeEt. president; A. T.
Moon. vice president; V. H. Pease,
treasurer; James Johnston and Tim
othy Egan, while, ]. ]. Rogers was re-
tanned as secretary.
The report of the secretary, which
was adopted, showed that the affairs
of the company were in a most prom
Using condition, and that within a
week another well would be added to
its string of spouters, making six in all,
all of which are flowing into the COM
pany's mains.
The board at yesterdays meeting
consented to a reduction of rates to
large consumers, which will bring the
cost of gas as a fuel down to the cost
of coal. a reduction that will result in
the consumption of more than double
the amount of gas now in use.
Taking advantage of this reduction
the Salt Lake City Gas and Electric
Light company are now making a test
of gas as fuel under their boilers, and
if the test is a satisfactory one. the
company will use this fuel instead of
coal!

Bill Introduced BY Representative
Allen and Senator Cannon.

Especial 10 Inc Herald).
WASHINGTON, D. c., March T.
Representative Allen has introduced in
the house and Senator Cannon in the
senate a bill to amend section 1885 of
the revised statues by providing that
"an afftdaVits required to be made I'M
der this chapter may be verified before
any officer authorized to administer
oaths in any state or territory in the
United States, having an official seal,
and all testimony and proofs may be
taken before any such officer, and when
duly certified shall have the same eff
feet as if taken before register and
receiver of the land Office. In case of
a contest as to the mineral or agri-
cultural character of the land, the tes-
timony and proofs may be taken under
such notice and regulations as the
commissioner of the land Office may
prescribe; provided that the presence
of rock in place or Of deposits bearing
gold, silver cinnabar or other minerals
shall be regarded as prima facie evil
dence that the land containing the
same is mineral in character; provided,
further, that in an investigation as to
the character of land, with view of
aScertaining whether it is more val
liable for mineral than agricultural
purposes, evidence may be taken of
mineral discovered and developed ad-
jacent to such land, proof of which
shall be corroborative evidence that the
land in question is mineral in charac-
ter; provided, further that when land
is proven to be within well-defined
mineral belt it shall be deemed prima
facie evidence of the mineral charac-
ter of said land.

OPTION ON GAS STOCKS.
London Syndicate Wants to Buy 81
Controlling Interest.

1t leaked out yesterday that a gentle
man representing a London syndicate
had secured an option for sixty days
on a controlling interest in the New
American Natural Gas and Fuel com
pany's holdings at a minimum price of
90 cents a share.
While this report was not officially
confirmed, it was learned from one of
the directors of the company that this
was the true condition of affairs, and
that until the expiration for 4the TAX
ing up of the option, a large portion of
the stock of the company would be
tied up.
This is one of the most important
transactions that has taken place in
this city since Captain J. R. De Lamar
secured an option on the Mercur mine.
and if the negotiations terminate sue
cessfully they will probably signalize
the beginning of large flow of for
eign capital into Utah for investments;
yet the fine showing now made by the
company is such that the heavy stock
holders are indifferent as to the out
come of the option; in fact. they are
rather inclined to hope that the syn
dicate will fail to come to time in it's
contemplated purchase.
