News of City and County.

There is good prospect of an early
and friendly settlement in the much
disputed Ogden canyon roads matter.
The overruling of the demurrer to the
complaint of John Seaman by Judge
HileS was recognized as a complete
legal victory for the petitioners, and it
is doubtful if the injunction ever comes
into court to be heard AS the matter
now stands, the Pioneer Electric Power
company can do nothing whatever in
the way of building the dam until the
injunction is modified The company
is restrained from building the dam be-
cause it is restrained from inundating
the road. OF course it has never been
the intention of the petitioners to in
terfere with the building of the dam,
but it is the policy in law suits to save
petitioners invoked many of their
rights which it is not expected they
will use. Few if any have the slight
est objection to the company closing
the old road if suitable new ones are
provided. 1t is stated on good author
ity that the Power company is willing
to build new ones for a nominal sum.
The plan of procedure is expected to
be about as follows, provided present
negotiations are SucceSSful:
The commissioners will reject all the
former bids and advertise for others.
The Power company will bid 81 and
will give bonds for the satisfactory
completion of the work. To them the
contest will, of course, be awarded and
the roads constructed with the push
and thoroughneSS of which the Power
company is capable.

Tragedy In the Big Horn Basin.

Lander, Wye, Dec. pa few nights
ago a tragedy took place near Basin
City, in the new county OF Big Horn,
in which William Bishop lost his life
at the hands of Alexander Mcdonald.
The trouble grew out of the owner
ship of piece of land some time ago,
and the fire of hatred which has been
smouldering finally burst out on the
18th, when the men met. Bishop was
armed with a shotgun and Mcdonald
with a revolver. Both raised their
guns and pulled the triggers at about
the same time. Bishops piece missed
fire and McDonald's aim was poor.
Mcdonald then rushed in and struck
Bishop over the head with the butt of
his gun and kept up the onslaught
until Bishops head and face were an
unrecogniZa BILE mass and life was eX-
tincts Mcdonald has surrendered to
the authorities.

Court Proceedings.

The suit Of H. w. Ring a against
Charles w. Luck ct al, wherein the
plaintiff sued for damages because of
alleged libel, came to an abrupt ter
mination yesterday. Judge Rolapp in
structed the jury to find no cause of
action.
The suit grew out of the troubles of
the Plymouth Rock Building, Loan and
Savings association, and a report
derogatory to Ring proposed by Expert
Bateman after an examination of the
accounts of the concern. The matter
caused trouble in the Congregational
church, of which Ring was a deacon,
and Luck was the pastor, and was the
subject of discussion of an assembly
of Congregational ministers from all
over the territory of Utah. A former
action against the association and its
directors brought by Mr.. Ring went
against him. This last result probably
puts an end to a matter much nooted
of late years.

Earl Russell,g Residence Burned.

London, Dec. 23.-The residence of
Earl Russell at Maidenhead -on-Thames
was burned to the ground this morning.
The fire was undoubtedly of incendiary
origin, as Earl Russell has recently re-
ceived several menacing letters, some
of them threatening him with personal
injury and others threatening the burn
ing of his property. There is no doubt
that the fire is one of the results of
the action for criminal libel brought
by Earl Russell against his mother-in-
law, Lady Scott, and others, which is
now under adjournment because of the
death of Frederick Kast, one of the
defendants, and the illness of Lady
Scott .tr..
