The state supreme court yesterday
handed down an opinion IN the case
OF the State of Utah against Harry
Hayes, appellant, in which the judg-
ment of the court below is affirmed.
The opinion was delivered by Justice
Miner and concurred in by Chief JUS
tice Zane and Justice Bartch
The defendant was convicted of what
is known as the Pelican Point murders,
in which Albert Enstron, alias Albert
Hayes, q stepson of the defendant,
Andrew Johnson and Alfred Nelson
were shot and killed, and their dead
bodies were found on the shore OF
Utah lake.
The defendant on appeal contended
that there was no evidence in tine case
to prove that the deceased young men
were killed in Utah county, nor that
the defendant killed them, and that
there was no evidence to Justify the
verdict of guilty.
The opinion, after reviewing the evil
dence, says the testimony is replete
with strong eliminating circumstances
connecting the defendant with the
murder of the three boys at about the
same time. There was sufficient evil
dence to go to the jury to establish
the derenddntS guilt. That being so,
il was for the jury to pass upon it
and say whether or not the defendant
was guilty beyond reasonable doubt.
The opinion also held that the court
below made no error in admitting evil
dence of the killing of Johnson and
Nelson while the defendant was on
trial for the killing of Enstrom, be-
cause in this case the killing of one
bore upon the killing of the others and
tended to explain the motives,
acts and intent of the SLAYER
of Albert Hayes, and the lower
court protected the defendants right
when it instructed the jury not to
consider the testimony in regard TO
Johnson and Nelson except in so far
as it connected the defendant with the
murder of Enstrom.
Their honors, after a careful exami-
nation of the record failed to find any
error, hence affirmed the Judgment that
the defendant was guilty and that he
be hanged by the neck until dead.

THE WHALING FLEET.
FIRST NEWS OF THE SHIPS
BROUGHT IN BY THE JENNIE.
story of Duels, Deaths, Desertions,
Fighting Scrapes, Mutiny, and
to Crown All n Poor CatcI,-The
Winter Was u Very severe One.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 12.-The first
news from the whaling fleet in the
Arctic was brought in yesterday by the
steam tender Jennie, which arrived in
dilapidated condition with $4,000
pounds of bone for the Pacific Whaling
company. 1t is a story of deaths, de-
sertions, fighting scrapes, a duel, mu-
tiny. and to crown all, a poor catch.
The entire fleet only took sixty-three
whales. The catch of the fleet up to
the middle of August was as follows:
The crew of the Baylies mutinied in
the sea of Okhotsk, and the master was
obliged to surrender the ship, which
was headed for home at once.
Captain Mason, of the Jennie, re-
ports that last winter was the most
severe ever experienced in the Arctic
and the summer was correspondingly
cold. The men suffered terribly and
desertions from the fleet at the mouth
of the Mckenzie river were frequent.
There was a general exodus at one time,
and five men out of the crowd got
away. They have not been heard from
since. The others were brought up
when a shower of bullets came after
them from the pursuing officers. One
of the fugitives was wounded, but
afterward recovered.
Among those who died during the
winter were William Mosher, second
mate of the bark John and Winthrop;
Harry Williams, cabin boy of the bark
Wanderer, and James Leary, second
mate of the steamer Belvidere.
There was a sanguinary encounter
on the steamer Balaena during the
winter. Chief Officer H. p. Bowen and
Second Mate Frank Jones quarreled.
1t was patched up for a time, but
finally the trouble broke out again,
and the men came to blows. Then a
duel on the ice was arranged, and
Jones was mortally wounded. He died
a few hours later, and was buried at
Herschel island. Bowen is under ar
rest, and will be brought to San Fran
cisco for trial.
The Balaena and Grampus wintered
in the Franklin bay, and the former
reported four deaths and the latter
two deaths. Both ships got to Her
schel island on August 29, and it was
their intention to return about Septem-
Der 1. The Grampus. however, may re-
main in the Arctic for another season.

A Now Trial Granted.

In the appeal case of Joseph Dede-
richs VS.. the Salt Lake City Street
Railroad company, appellants, the
state supreme court yesterday handed
down an opinion setting aside the judg
ment of the lower court and ordering
a new trial. Dederichs sued to recover
damages for personal injuries sus-
tanned. The case originally came on
before Chief Justice Merritt and he
allowed a motion of the defendant for
a non-suit The plaintiff appealed
from that ruling and the supreme court
sustained the appeal and remanded the
case for trial. 1t was tried before
Judge Street, and the jury awarded
the plaintiff $1,000 damages and costs.
Defendant then appealed from the
Judgment and motion denying a new
trial and the supreme court now held
that the court below erred in refusing
to admit in evidence photographs of
the scene where the accident happened
and on that ground granted a new
trial. The opinion was delivered by
Justice Miner and concurred in by
Chief Justice Zane and Justice Bartch.

of Parley's creek for the growing Of
natural ice and have constructed and
maintained on its land in the vicinity,

creek of which the water was diverted
from its natural channel and away
from plaintiffs land and reservoirs, SO
that plaintiff was wrongfully deprived
of said water and its ice business
ruined.

the board establishing a current ex-
pense fund was not broad enough and
so a new measure was passed yester-
day. 1t has been determined that the
establishment Of the fund is perfectly
legal when done in proper form and
the passage of the new resolution yes
terday removes all real or imaginary
obstacles in the way of placing the
county on a practically cash basis. The
new resolution as passed reads:
BE it resolved, That, the resolution
of this board relating to the creating
of a fund for the payment of current
expenses of the county, adopted on the
1st day of October, 1896, be, and the
same is, hereby amended so as to read
as follows
Whereas, The payment of the in
debtedness existing January 4, 1896,
evidenced by outstanding warrants,
has been arranged for by the issuance
of bonds; and
Whereas, Under existing condi-
tons all funds now being received by
the county treasurer are being used
for the payment of said warrants: and
Whereas, 1t is the opinion of this
board that it will be greatly to the adj.
vantage of the county if a special fund
is created out of which the current ex-
penses of the county can be paid;
therefore, be it
Resolved, That there be, and there
is, hereby created a fund for the pay
ment of all current expenses of the
county since January 4, 1886, and that
the treasurer is hereby authorized and
instructed to turn into said fund, from
time to time, els the same may be
necessary, from any moneys received
by him, except from the sale of bonds,
sufficient funds to provide for the pay
ment Of all warrants drawn since Janu-
airy 4, 1896, except warrants drawn in
payment of obligations existing on
said last named date and salary war
rants, and that said moneys be covered
into said current expense fund as the
same are received by said treasurer; be
it further
Resolved. That the county auditor
be, and he is, hereby instructed to
hereafter draw warrants on said fund
for all appropriations made for the
current expenses of the county; be it
further
Resolved. That the county treas
urer be, and he is, hereby authorized
and instructed to cover into the salary
fund heretofore created by a. resolu-
ton of this board, dated June 80, 1886
sufficient moneys, as they are received
by him, to provide for the payment OF
all outstanding warrants drawn upon
said salary fund; and be it further
Resolved, That the county auditor
furnish the county treasurer with q
list of all warrants drawn since Janu-
airy 4, 1896, for obligations existing or
that date"
After allowing a large number OF
claims the board adjourned for one
week.

BEARDsLEE'S SUCCESSOR.
There is Much Talk Among Naval
Officers About it and Consilera-
BILE Speculation.

NEW YORK. Oct PA Tribune
special from Washington says:
There is much talk among naval Of
ficers regarding the successor of Adj
nliral Beardslee, ommander-in-chief
of the Pacific station. The impress
sion prevails that Commodore J. N.
Miller, the commandant of the Boston
Naval yard will be assigned to this
duty. He is the senior officer of his
grade and has not been at sea since
1892 when he was a captain. He is
entitled TO a command afioat and
should exercise this authority before
he is advanced to the highest grade Of
the navy. Another officer also spoke of
for the place is Commodore George
Dealey, formerly of the Portsmouth
Navy yard. He has not been at sea
since 1888. He is anxious to have a
command commensurate with his rank.

Cbicago General Market.

CHICAGO, Oct. 12.-Liverpool cables
on wheat this morning did not coincide
with our strength OF Saturday, nor
with the sanguine belief of the bulls
that prices We're yet too low.
That incident and the estimate that
the worlds shipments for last week
would approximate 10,250,000 bushels
were the prime factors at the opening
of the market here today. They were
permitted to govern the tone only tenn
porarily, however, advices from San
Francisco to the effect that the demand
for wheat from India and Aststralia
still existed, starting the crowd to buy
ing. There was an increase in the
amount on ocean passage of 2,720000
bushels and in the visible supply of
3,2SS,000 bushels. Receipts at Chicago
were 504 cars, and the northwest had
l,l0s. Export clearances We're moderate
at 216.lS6 bushels. December wheat
opened from 6Saz to 6S1s, advanced to
70@7eas, declining and closing at 691s.
70 higher than Saturday. Estimated
receipts for tomorrow, $40 cars.
