Ketchum, met a terrible death Monday by
BENG run over by six-horse ore wagon
which he was driving down from the
Idaho Democrat mine near Haley. He
was sitting on the dashboard which gave
way as he was descending the steep grade
and fell under the wheels, which run over
him, breaking his back and crushing his
left leg, besides receiving tother injuries
that would have necessarily proved fatal
He lay on the grade for about four hours
before discovered, and before medical
aid reached the unfortunate man he ex-
pired- He was SO years old, native of
Vermont. His remains were taken to
Haley where the funeral took place

The "sooners" who did such a rushing
business few weeks ago in stalking off
asphaltum lands in the Uncompaghre res
ervation, have made no effort whatever
to defend their action, and they are ap-
parently laying low to see what the gov
eminent will do about the matter know
ing full well that the public is indignant
over such a high-handed grab of Uncle
Sans domain. In speaking with a gov
eminent official yesterday on this subject
The Herald was informed that there was
no doubt but that the general land office
would instruct Indian Agent Major Rond-
lett, at Fort Duchense, to tear down all
of the location notices, monuments and
stakes on the ton, and to declare
the locators "sooners.' When the reser-
walton is opened the public will be given
due notice of the day in time to give all
a chance to make an effort to make a.
location, then if these lightning strikers
can get in first, it will be all right.

John F. Walters, a gentleman who is
interested in mining in Utah, came in on
NO last Wednesday. Upon atghting
from the train he showed he was bent
upon business, as he commenced making
inquiries, Of the first person he met, as to
where the soda well was. 1t was pointed
out to him, and he was directed to T. S.
Taliaferro as the proper person to give
nm all the information he desired Mr.
Ialiaferro took him down to the well and

and in fact, filed him up so with soda
water that his head was as light as bis
cult. Mr. Walters IS favorably impressed
with the soda proposition and will, as soon
as he arrives at his home in Chicago, bring
the matter before men of means, who he
is satisfied viii, upon his recommendation,
advance money for the purpose of further.

since deceased. The Salt Laker gave his
note for the amount with 400 shares Of
Centennial Eureka stock as security.
Shortly after the death of Mr. Correli
the Salt Laker paid the debt, but the
note and stock were nowhere to be found,
although the search for their recovery
was persfstently and carefully pushed
The OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES company, upon
the showing made, re-issued the stock
upon the giving of an indemnity bond
and the matter was almost forgotten
until few days ago when, in looking
through the safe at the CUP house
Sam Ewing found a package addressed
to the interested party, who, upon open
ing it, found therein the long lost note
and stock. Mr.. Correll was a frequent
guest at the Cullen, and without doubt
left the package in the safe az a matter
OF convenience; but as his name was not
on the envelope it was overlooked when
the search was made for his private
papers.
