Provo Points.


PROVO, March There will be
strong effort made in the near future,
if it has not already been made. to
secure the pardon Of Tom Williams,
the murderer of Joseph E. Hutchings.
The crime for which Williams was
sentenced to the Utah penitentiary at
hard labor for life, was committed
February %, 1898. He was tried here
IL Provo before Judge Emerson and
q jury. The verdict was rendered
September "a, 1893, and sentence pass
ed on October 4, following. The YER
dict was guilty of murder in the first
degree, with a suggestion that he be
given a life sentence. at the time of
the murder Williams was shift boss
al the Mammoth mine in Tintic and
Hutchings was employed to work at
the mine under Williams A trif1ing
difficulty arose between a Cornishman
working on the same mine and Hutch
ingS. the boss. taking sides with the
Cornishman said he would kill
HutehingE on sight and friends of<his
I1utchings) went TO notify him of his
danger but failed &c. find him in time.
The two met on the trail leading from
the mine to the town and there Will
Jams accused Hutchings OF threatening
his life. Hutchings denied it, and said;
ANY man who says ( threatened you
is liar
Williams then told him he would not
believe him and drawing a bulldog
pistol shot the unarmed man down
while he was pleading for his life. The
murderer was at once arrested and
brought to Provo, and in due time was
given a fair trial and found guilty as
stated above. The peculiar verdict
- IL.
editor was arrested and taken before
the court for his differences in print.
Lynching was freely talked OF, and the
officers guarded the prisoner all night
that he might not bs harmed. There
are a great many men in Utah coun-
ty now who remember very ViYidly
the trial in all its details, and who
expressed surprise that the death
sentence was not passed, It is said
that d number OF the jurymen who sat
on the case have signed a petition for
his pardon, but all those of them that
have been seen, deny this. and say, if
their names are on the petition 1t is
without their knowledge. The Jurors
are scattered, some are dead, two are
in Ogden, one in Park City, one in
California. one in Spanish Fork and
search is being made for all of the
rest, living. A number of petitions
nave DrSn plSSpHtSu III DendlI OF the
convict and Just as many counter
petitions Or circumstances have found
their way into the hands of the exc
cutfve. The manner of the killing and
the fact that the deceased left a de-
voted wife and four children has a
tendency to create sympathy in their
behalf and * is not hard work to get
numerous signers remonstrat ting
against executive clemency, especially
IN Provo and Lehi, where the details
Of the crime are best known. The

Layton Lines.

Mr. Austin of the Lehi sugar fac
tory was at Layton few days ago
and notified the people here, through
their local managers, that no sugar
beets were to be raised for the factory
this year. We understand that it is for
two reasons they refuse to take them.
The first is, because the beets are not
as good in quality as they should be;
and the second is, the factory is so far
away that it makes it too expensive to
ship the beets there. The distance
makes it announcement for the men of
the factory to come to inspect the
crop while it is growing-Clipper.

PARK CITY, March John B. Per-
ry, an old time miner and prospector.
died last evening at his home in Park
City from pneumonia. Mr. Perry was
well known IN this camp, as he was
one of the original Iccators OF the Nor
gan mine and sold out his interests
some four years ago. The deceased
leaves a wife and two children to
mourn his loss. He will be buried I'M

Der, who will tonight make all necessa-
ny arrangements for the funeral
The funeral of Maude, the 2-year-old
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Tom Han
nan, occurred at p. M. today from the
Catholic church. The services were
conducted by the Rev. Father CALI
san. The funeral was well attended
by the relatives and many friends of
the parents of the child. The sympa-
thy OF the entire community goes out
to The bereaved parents. Mrs. Hannah
is now and has been for the past two
weeks very low from pneumonia and
the shock thus sustained has aggra-
waited her condition.
James Gibson, a bright young man
employed at the Daily mine, was
brought down from the nine yesterday
afternoon to the Harrington house,
where he now lies at Deaths door from
pneumonia. In answer to a telephone
message Mr. and Mrs. Gibson, father
and mother OF the young man, ar
rived on this mornings Utah Central

1t is learned that the city council
of Coalville has advertised for bids for
constructing the sidewalk from the
court house TO town. This is an i'm
proVement that is much needed at
our county seat and the solons of
CoaIviIle have done well in making the
necessary appropriation.
The February dividend of 10 cents
per share, amounting to $4,000 was
paid yesterday in Salt Lake. The fact
that the Ontario is now paying divi-
dends ana the probable dividends soon
of other properties in this camp, has
sreneweda interest from outside capital
seeking investment in our mines. There
IS not a day that passes without bring
ing letters of inquiry from parties de-

MUCH EXAGGERATED.

A person reading the Tribune's Kays-
vile letter in yesterday mornings pa
per would be led to believe that our
city is on the verge of mining boom
akin to that of the johannesburg of
America''-our own Mercur. The peo-
pie here are represented as being in a
state of feverish excitement, and the
impression is left with the reader that
the rocky hillsides, mountain peaks and
canyon gorgeS east of us are all be-
ing 'gobbled up by jealous prospec-
tors and staked out as mining claims.
Those holding claims are reported as
guarding their interests with much
alertness," so that they may forestalI
and outwit the eager multitudes of
strangers who Will come thronging up
on us when sweet spring throws her
emerald mantle over mother earth. All
Of which simply tends to show how
easily some people can be worked up
to an unreasonable pitch of excite
ment over nothing. The correspond
ent has been made the victim, appar-
entity, of a practical joke, for there is
nothing to justify his going into such
phapsodies as he does.
Some prospecting is being done, 1t is
true, and one gentleman, q Mr. Thorn
berg of Salt Lake, has been pushing
work on one of his claims quite ener-
getically for d week or so. but what
he has struck is not very startling. He
is feeling quite encouraged, however
and expects to continue work. His
claim is on the foothills directly east
of this place. That is just about all
there is to be said of the mining sit
uatiOn here at present When anything
of real interest to the mining public
occurs, The Herald will be to the front
with news of the latest developments.
It is not improbable thai something
may be found in our hills that will be
worth developing. but to be perfectly
candid about it, such luck has not
struck us yet. Let US hope it will
