Provo is without the restraining in
auence of city ordinances. So at least
Justice Saxey in effect declared when he
decided that the ordinances as revised
two years ago are invalid. In the re-
vision the title and enacting clauses
are invariably omitted, the various or
dinances running as chapters. The de-
cision grew out of the case of the city
against William Faxman, who is charged
with violation of the Sunday liquor or
dinance.

A killing is reported from Browns
park on the Colorado tab line. An old
gentleman named Norman had been
prospecting in the western part of Routt
county for some time, and recently dis
covered a rich lead, so the report goes,
and that he was continually annoyed by
four men who followed him. keeping
close watch on his every movement.
Believing that his life was in danger,
Norman, who is about 90 years of age,
employed Matt Warner as a body guard,
paying him large sum daily for his
services. On Thursday morning Mr..
Warner approached the camp of the four
men, Who it is alleged had been bother
ing Norman, ant when within speaking
distance, one OF the men accosted Mr.. !
Warner, saying: "You have come in
time, partner" and with that fired, kill /
ing Warmers horse. Warner sought |
protection behind his dead horse and |
returned the fire with Winchester, |
killing two of the men instantly and |
MORALLY wounding the other two.
Expert Digno~ity, who, in 1898, OBJ
tanned an option on the property Of the
Mercur Mining company, in which he
contracted to pay $4,000 for the bo-
nanza, has returned after a visit to the
camp, wnere he observed many changes
and many new ore bodies. That the
gentleman who is interested in a num-
Der of claims in the camp, did not sue
coed in the cOnsummation of his deal is
that it was undertaken on the eve of the
Barring Bros. failure, when the financial
world was so badly depleted and when
wreck followed in the wake of wreck.
1t was a similar experience to that
which two years laters prevented those
who were promoting the sale of the
Mercur for SI,5oo,ooo. No one appre-
ciates more keenly than does Mr. Dig
1owity the loss sustained by him and
MS associates in the failure that over
:ame them, and he will renew his chase
.or bozanza in that locality, believing
hat with development a score of Mer- :
,urs may be developed.
Though Hermans present wherea-
,outs remain as much of mystery as
.ver, the tracking down process is be-
ginning to show results. His trail just
fter leaving Kansas City is not difficult
0 follow The fugitive appears to have
elected Kansas City with great judg-
nent as the starting point of his pere
,rinations. The police and detective
orce of that city were unable to locate
i'm or ascertain when he arrived or de-
,arted, and if sole reliance had beer {
laced on them, the parson would be c
more of a problem than ne is. A spe- l
ial from ST. Louis says that Hermans d
lad reached that city on the nth ult.,
nd after spending portion of the day
here had taken his departure in di-
ection not stated. He is being traced ?
y the detectives of that city, who hope ?
D gain the reward offered The belief
revails that he has not left the coun-
