PLENTY OF NATURAL GAS TODAY.
More than Two Hundred Thousand Cubic Feel
in Twenty-four Hours Now,

Inquiry at the office of the Union
Light and Power company this after
noon elected the information that the
supply of natural gas today was all
that could be asked for; that more than
100000 cubic feet would be delivered
during the present day and night UNI
less a dimnution of flow should occur
through clogging of the pipes or other
Interruption. The increased flow COM
menced to come in yesterday and as
long as it continues at the present rate
there will be no trouble. The increase
is due to new well which has just
been added to those already bored
Should the supply be permanent 1t is
not unlikely that Mr.. Driver and as
sociates Will continue to md market
here for their Lake Shore vapor. But
should clogs, Interruptions, diminutions
or cessations characterize the service
as seems to have been the case in the
past 1t is hardly PROBABLE that they VIII
be able to again strike bargain with
either the Salt Lake and Ogden Gas
and Electric Light company or its sue
cessors or assigns. In that event 1t
would mean the shutting off of the
wells, an action that would be disas-
trous in more ways than one.
For the past fifteen days the local
gas plant has been running at full
pressure manufacturing the artificial
product for mixing with the natural
article. Today, however, the plant is
at a practical standstill, except so far
as being kept in constant readiness
for an emergency. Its fires have to
be constantly lighted for when they
are not it requires forty-eight hours to
start the plant. 1t is this fact that
causes the Salt Lake e. Ogden com
pany to complain, alleging that they
are kept under continued expense to
provide against a contingency that
may occur at any time.

PLEADED NOT GUILTY.
TRIAL SET FOR DECEMBER THE 9TH.


william Lewis was arraigned before
Judge Norrell today for the killing of
]. A. Gier. a barber, Mt Sandy, May 20,
1892 to which he pleaded not guilty.
The court set the defendants trial for
Monday, the 27th of December, at 10
am.
Although 1t Is five and half years
ago since the crime was committed, the
memory of the affair is still fresh In
the minds of the people of this county.
Lewis for years held the position of
constable for-the then-Sandy pre-
cinct. For months prior to the day of
the tragedy he took to drink. and
labored under the hallucination that
he was being pursued by enemies'
whom he thought wanted to Kill him.
Gier kept barber shop opposite the
Union Pacific depot at Sandy. He was
known as n peaceful and inoffenslVe
man. on the day named he was seated
in u chair, reading paper, when ne
was startled by the report of gun
Turning around he saw Lewis stand
ing in the doorway. Lewis fired again
and Gier begged him not to kill him.
when Lewis quietly walked off. Gier
was removed to his home and upon
examination two of the bullets were
found to have entered his body. He
died the same day Before his death

After his arrest Lewis became n
raving maniac. He was brought be-
fore Commissioner Harmed Pratt and
held to await the action of the grand
Jury on the charge of wilful murder.
on the 27th of November, 1886, the
Jurors empaneled in the case. acting
on the courts Instructions, found Lew
Is to be insane and irresponsible and
he was accordingly committed to the
asylum
Last October the superintendent of
the asylum, Milton II. Hardy, notified
Governor Wells that Lewis had recov-
cred, at the same time asking what
steps he should take in the matter.
Governor Wells communicated with
County Attorney Van Colt. who said
that If it was found that Lewis was
sane he should be turned over to the
sheriff of Salt Lake county and
brought back here for trial.
Lewis looked well today. Since his
confinement he has. grown chin beard
which gives him decided foreign APP
pearance. He was represented by At.
torney Scott Wells.

ceived in this city today the BELIEF has
been created in the minds of n number
of persons that the Mary c. CUTE
named in today's News dispatches rs
having been murdered in San Fran
cisco last night is none other than the
wife of f. r. Clute, Salt Lakes as
SCISSOR and collector from 1890 to 1899
AS consequence the lady's friends
are very much exercised. From the
description given in the tele-
grams they say they are firm
ly of the opinion that
she is the hapless victim of the horri-
bic tragedy. only one inaccuracy
seems to be presented so far and that
Is in relation to the woman being
wealthy. Mr.. and Mrs. Clute are
thought to be in moderate circum-
stances only. The Irregularities CON
nected with Mr.. Clutes administration
are generally believed to have rendered
him practically penniless.

San Franciso. Dec. 16.--Althoush the
police have been diligently working
upon the mysterious murder of Mrs
Mary G.. Clute, who was found welter-
ing in her blooa at S32 Guerrero street
yesterday afternoon, they are as yet
without any definite clue as to the
identity of her assassin. This morning
Albert Hoff. an upholsterer, aged IS,
who resides at 202 Sixth street, was
taken into custody on suspicion: but.
after subjectlng him to severe
examination, the authorities were I'M
able to fix the crime upon him with any
degree of certainty. Hoffs statements
which are somewhat conflicting are to
the effect that he was in the house
laying carpets; but, left there before
8 o'clock, and while others We're still
working there. He was unable to salts
factorily explain several scratches and
cut upon his hands. however, and this
fact alone seems to be the only evil
dence upon which the police are detain-
ing him.
AUTOPSY THIS MORNING.
An autopsy held this morning upon
the body of Mrs. Clute revealed the
fact that there We're five wounds on
the back and side of the woman's head.
The nose is broken, and the right eye
closed, the upper lip badly cut, and the
upper jaw bone fractured. Just over
the left eye is n hole about three
quarters of an inch in depth and the
size of n quarter of n dollar. The left
hand is also bruised as though the
woman had attempted to ward off one
of the blows
Joseph Foley and Harry j. Jackson,
the other two men who left the house
shortly before o'clock on the con-
cluson OF their work of laying mat
ting upon the floor of one of the rooms,
identified Hoff as the third man they
left there engaged In hanging some
pictures; and he is said to answer to
| the description of the man seen to
leave the premises by the side door,
| shortly after Mrs. Clute's screams di-
rected attention to her apartments.
