The Gold-Covered Iron Ball.

Late on Thursday man presented
to the bank of Anderson Bros. a ball
of amalgam, asking them to weigh it
and send it to the mint on his account.
AS the stuff looked well, Anderson
Bros. did not hesitate to advance
small sum of money on it, a note being
taken for the money advanced signed
George Hanson. He was an innocent
looking fellow, about 20 years of age,
and represented that he and two others
were working a claim up the river
about fifteen miles from Idaho Falls
In turns out. however, that Hanson
is not as innocent as he looks In
fact, he seems to have improved on the
gold brick swindle, the ball of ANAL
gam turning out to be an iron ball
well covered over with gold, the fact
having been disclosed very soon after
it fell into the hands of the assayer at
Boise City. 1t would be we'll for bank
ers and merchants to look out for this
fellow.-Idaho Falls Times.

Waters Used For Domestic Pur-
poses Against the Filth Of Sheep.


From indications during the past two
weeks, sheep herders in this valley will
be put to no little inconvenience and
expense if they persist in feeding their
sheep on the different ranges. No trials
have been had since the Austin case,
but several complaints have been
sworn TO and arrests made. as the fol-
lowing viii show:
Henry X. Boren Of Daniels creek had
James Kirk arrested Saturday on a
charge of befouling the waters of said
creek with his sheep herd. Constable
Witt served the warrant and allowed
the sheep man until Monday to appear
ard plead. Monday Kirk was arraign-
ed before Justice Witt and pleaded not
guilty. He gave bonds in the sum of
500, with Joseph Jacobs and James
Lindsay as sureties. and trial was set
for today at 10 o'clock
Tuesday morning Kirk appeared in
Heber and hunted up the county prose
cutor, who referred him to the justice.
The sheep man was armed, with a petit
ton signed by the complainant, Boren,
and fifteen other residents of Daniels
creek asking for dismissal of the case
against him on the grounds that he
would leave the premises with his
sheep and remove the filth complained
of at his earliest convenience. The Pc
titioners further stated they had re-
ceived satisfaction for any injury sus-
tanned and asked shat said Kirk be al
lowed to pay the costs so far accrued
and be dismissed. Their prayer was
granted and IS costs paid.

decision having been arrived at to
place the Gibbs monument over the
martyr at Paradise, the shaft was not
dedicated yesterday, but memorial
services only were held. The large
tabernacle was packed with people,
who ha6 previously viewed the beau
tiful monument, which had been set
up in front of the building for inspec-
ton. Elder w. H. Jones of Brigham

on the fateful day, was present and
gave an account of the massacre and
the causes that are supposed to have
led up to it, end how he came to escape
the fury of the mob which, at Cane
Creek, Lewis county, Tenn, on Aug
ust ~, 1884, in cold blood, shot down
John II. Gibbs, Elder Berry, Martin
Condor and J. r. Hudson. Elder j.
Golden Kimball, who was in the near
neighborhood of the murder at the
time. was also present. Elder B. II.
Roberts. who was a the time in charge
of the mission in the south. and who
by disguise and strategy succeeded in
recovering the bodies of the dead ell
ders from the mob and returning them
to their homes, was present and de-
beautiful tribute to the honor, in
tegrity and bravery of the deceased,
and also to the memory of all who were
concerned in the defense of the elders.
On Saturday next, Decoration day,

HE KNOWS THE MURDERER.
John Strong Arrested at Salmon City
Charged With Hiding the ScanIon
Murderer and With Arson

Sheriff Sullivan returned from Sal
mon City yesterday morning, having
in charge one John Strong, who is sup
posed to know all about the Scanlon
murder and also to be the man who
set fire TO the old steam laundry build
ing about two months ago. H. H
Mills, who was convicted of cattle
stealing, says that he and Strong con-
spired to rob the faro bank at the
Pocatello club, and that Strong set fire
to the laundry building to attract the
attention Of the town while he held
up the bank. This scheme failed.
Mills also said that the murderer of
Scanlon was friend of Strong's, and
that Strong hid him for three days in
a shack out near Shattuck row. Strong
denies both stories.-Pocatello Tribune.

Saturday afternoon we called on Mr..
Ben Ritter manager for the telephone
company at Logan, and ne asked us
to try the new metallic circuit tele-
phone and called up Salt Lake for
that purpose. Under the old system
wires were grounded at each end of
the line. and although the words
sounded plain enough when talking
with Salt Lake. yet they frequently got
mixed up with the rumbling of street
cars, the rattle of wagons, playing of
brass bands, and other pleasantries
that might be. going on at the time.
Now the ground wires are done away
with and continuous wire used, MAX
ing the metallic circuit, so that no
other sounds can be heard on the line
but the words used in conversation We
had a talk with a gentleman in Salt
Lake, and the words were as distinct
as though he were in the same room
with us.
The circuit does not extend to Pres
ton, but it will oe great help here by
having the connection at Logan
