Man Comes to Grief For Frying Into Other
Peoples Affairs.
This occurred on Third avenue
near Eighteenth street last night. A
young man aud lady friend who
we're out walking noticed that they
were being Swallowed by a man
whose identity they we're unable to
learn. He followed them up one
street and down the other. So the
young man and his lady paused in a
dark corner to await the coming OF
their pursuer. He came along
shortly. and striking a match, held
it up near the faces of the couple.
There was collision between 8
proeocis and a handful of knuckles
and one fellow was lying on the side
walk. A policeman who was. across
the street. was appealed to by the
man from whose scenter the clare
was flowing. He wanted 10 know

CONFESSES CRIME.

WORKS THE INSANITY PLEA

After Throwing Himself on the Mercy Of
the Court and Making . 0rana STAND
Play, He 10 Sentenced to Pay the Penalty
for HIS Practices.
The feature of yesterdays session
of the Scott county district court
was an incident of the afternoon
session, when DR.. John Cleland, in.
dicted for criminal practice, was
supported into the court room BY
his son on one side and q bailiff on
the other. and q plea of guilty was
entered upon his behalf by Carroll
& Carroll, his attorneys. DR.. Cleland
has aged greatly since his incarcera-
tion in the county jail, and would be
hardly recognizable to those who
knew him as he appeared upon the
streets of Davenport six months ago.
He has steadily grown grayer and
fee bier, until he has been unable to
move about unassisted for some time.
For this reason Acting County Attor.
nev Chamberlain, in accepting the
plea OF guilty on behalf of the state,
recommended the prisoner to the
mercy of the court. After the ples
had been entered County Physician
DeArmand, and Drs. Porter and Ewel
and Turnkey Martens were placed
upon the stand to testify as to the
mental and ply steal condition Of the
prisoner.

That DR.. Cleland was a ply sica
bankrupt. was the opinion Of tn
county physician. and he though
that his mental condition had KEEP

Ewell and Porter testified much t.
the same effect, and the opinion Of

Necsel's Fran.

Manson invented the model Of the
Fran, making her hull round and slip
perry, like an eel, with no corners or
sharp edges for the ice to seize upon.
She is the strongest vessel ever used in
arctic exploration. He said that pressure
would simply lift her ON the ice, and so
her bottom, near the keel, was made al
most fiat in order that she might not
capsize while ON the ice surface, and her
screw and rudder were also ingeniously
protected The many experts who said
her design would not save the Fran
from instant destruction were mistaken,
Tor she met these resistless ice pressures,
and they merely lifted her out of her
cradle, and she rested safely ON the sur
face

1HE MINES OF UTAH.

The viiativeness OF the mining In
dustry OF this State must be very
grent, or 1t would not continue az II has

as uniavorable us hostile laws MADE
the most OF by constituencies jockeys

tinue 1 the face OF these discourage

marked increase. The reports from
the mining districts, with but few
exceptions, show steady advance aii
along the line; the output Increases,
the character OF the ores improves,
new finds are OF daily occurrence, and
oil this with but one Of the STANDARD
metals that is not subjected TO o
steady downward tendency-gold.
Utah's mineral wealth cannot at
this time be computed. There is but a
small fraction OF her mines which
have as yet been developed sufficient
Iy 10 show just how extensive and how
rich they are. 1t should be reoem-
bered while considering the subject
that the best mines are the deep ones;
that nature has guarded her treasures
in such manner that few
of them indeed are found lying
near the surface or in pleas
ant places; and that the more
difficulty encountered in exposing the
metsl.bearing ores to the light OF day
and dragging them from their pri-
meval hiding places, the more exten
siye and more profitable they are
likely to be. Keeping this In view,
and considering that great develop
ment here Ia the exception many de.

alton of the statement is admissible
that the wealth contained In Utah's
mines is not to be computed; more,it Is
