IN this gun-pulling case. The attorney
for the defense apprehended the coun-
sci on the other side monkeying with
the complaint a la secret-one- man-in-
darh-place session and the court
knocked out the complaint. The final
verdict was mo cause for action
The case Of James Nelson VS.. South
ern Pacific railway resulted in a YER

was for stock killed by trains.
The grand jury indicted DR.. ]. B.

ment So they let the matter drop
But right on top of this the business
men of the city dubbed together and
raised a sufficient sum to permit the
mayor TO offer a $500 reward for the
apprehension of the fire bugs. Up to
date no arrests have been made.
During the past two weeks an I'M
precedented number of aged men of
this city have been laid low by the
hand of the destroyer.
The first to- succumb was Bishop
Henry Tingey of the First ward. He
died after a sickness of several weeks.
Then George L. Graehl, a man be-
tween so and 80 years of age, and one
of the Oldest citizens of the city, pass
ed away.
Jesse c. Jensen, citizen of the Sec
ond ward, was the next to go.
And Monday of this week witnessed
the burial of John Johnson, aged 81
one of the pioneer citizens of this city
There seems to be almost an cpl
demic of deaths among the older men,
and the question is now often asked,
Who next?"
Today David Rees started on q mis-
sion. Within the next month a large
number of young men will leave this
city for work in distant missionary
fields

stroyed Brigham stake tabernacle will

Many inquiries are being received
from the east in regard to the Consol-
dated Mining and Milling company
mines north Of Brigham 1t appears
as if great deal of this stock has
been sold in the east-Ullinois and
Ohio-and the investors are becoming
anxious about the real worth of their
property. No one here seems to know
anything definite about this mine. ex-
cept that force of men are working
on a great tunnel through The mount
ain. They have been employed night
and day for two years or more. The
tunnel is said to be in to a depth of
1,500 feet or more. But strange TO say
not a sack Of ore has been shipped or
is being shipped from the mine, and
no one except the miners or Interested
persons, is allowed in the mine. Peo-
pie think this looks rather fishy, and
unless some of the rich ore the mine
is said TO contain is shown or shipped
the people at least in these parts will
lose all faith in the mine
