HISTORIC OLD WELL.
Now to Be Filled, Because It Is Full
of BUGS.

OF bugs.
Washington Post: The great North
ern Liberty life giving Ponce de Leon
spring or eternal youth we'll, situated
on Fifth street, between 1 and K
streets northwest, has been abandoned
and filed up by order of the commits
sioners, who found, upon an analysis
being made of the water, that instead
OF containing lithia in large Quantities
it was the home of billions of sewage
bacteria. This animal, while not for
midahle of shape, is even more dan
gerous than the Bengal tiger or the
Rocky Mountain goat, and acts as the
advance agent of typhoid.
The great Northern Liberty we'll is as
old as Washington itself, and some per
sons claim that it is even older, being
one of the especial points of vantage
noted in this locality by George Wash
lngton when he was travelling about the
country looking for a site on which to
found city bearing his name And it
IS further averred that xIhen the
Father of his County was a. resident
of the newly founded city his body
servant used to journey to the Northern
Liberty well each morning with a gall
lon stone jug, fill it with the clear.
sparkling waters of the we'll and take
1t nome to be used as drinking water
for the gallant general. And even fur
ther, 1t is stated that after a ball or
reception. when the generals home had
been the gathering place for conviyial
spirits, that the journey to the we'll was
repeated several times in the course of
the morning, and it is a we'll known
TACT that the general was never q suf-
ferer from headaches. Knowing all
these things it is not strange that the
inhabitants of that neighborhood Should
have gathered together around the old
we'll few days ago when the work of
flillnS it up was begun and uttered
protests loud and long against such an
action. But the employees of the en-
cheering department needed not the
pleadings Of the multitude, and pro-
ceeding with their work, the celebrated
hole in the ground was soon no more.
The water of this well was supposed
to have been Identical with that sold
from a private spring not more than 100
feet from it, and which is advertised
as a panacea for all the ills that flesh
is heir to- This water brings a market
value Of 25 cents gallon, and it was
suggested by many that With the well
closed the spring might do more bust
ness. This suggestion carried no weight
at the health Office, and the water from
the private spring may not be allowed
to be dispensed throughout the city
much longer, as the report of the health
! department for 1895 rates the Fpring as
suspicious-sewage bacterial and it is
understood that recommendation viii
be made to the commissioners that il
be closed

THE MONK CASE.
Petition Filed For Writ of Habeas
COrDuS

a petition for writ of habeas corpus
on behalf of James T. Monk was yester-
day filed in Judge Hiles division of the
district court Monk has been confined in
the county jail SINCE Aug. 2, for contempt
OF court IN refusing to obey an order OF
the court commanding him TO turn oyer
10 the county recorder the records of
has (Monk's} Office Of recorder of the
Big Cottonwood mining district.
As grounds for the petition it rs set up
that the portion of chapter Sc of the laws
eIlacted by the legislature of the state
of Utah at its 1897 session and upon which
the proceedings against Monk were had
is Unconstitutional and void for the
reason that the title of said act embraces
but one subject and that there is moro
than one subject treated of in the act and
the title of the act does not express the
subject matter of that norton of the
act upon which the proceedings against
Monk we're had. and further that the
books and records are the private prop
ertV Of the miners of Big Cottonwood
mining district and the leeisIa ture had
no power or right to dispose of them.
For those reasons the petitioner alleges
he is wrongfuily held in custody and
prayS that an order for his discharge be
made
Judge Hiles ordered that the writ issue
returnable for argument on Monday
morning at $50 O'Clock.

Killing of the Miners Was ga Bruta.
Murder

washington, Sept tt--President
Gompers of the American Federation
of Labor, after bitterly denouncing the
killing of the men near Hazeltqn as a
brutal murder, said:
THE men were marching in the pub
lie highway. They had as much right
to march to Latimer or any other place
on the public highway as the sheriff
or governor of Pennsylvania or the
president Of the United States. The
mine operators, in the madness of
their supposed power and in their eff
fort to enslave labor, have used judges
and courts to give the color Of law
to the most fragrant violation of the
constitutional rights of the people.
Sheriffs and deputies. taking their cue
from their supporters, have carried out
this policy and killed men exercising
their rights under the constitution and
law.

Martin makes an effort to secure the
favor of our native Americans by re-
peatedly emphasizing the statement

Will SUE FOR SUBSCRIPTION
JUBILEE COMMISSION GETS AZ
TER GUS HOLMES FOR $500.
Mr. Holmes Agreed to Subscribe
$500 to the Fund and Paid 500
Delinquents Generally Will Be
Sued.

The Pioneer Jubilee commission met
last night and the chief topic Of dis
cussion was the collection of balances
due on subscription to the Jubilee fund.
1t was decided to enter suit against
Gus Holmes of the Knutsford hotel to
recover the balance Of the amount he
agreed to subscribe. He signed the
usual agreement and placed the
amount of his donation at $500. He
paid 500, leaving a balance of 5000 due,
which the commission is now seeking
to recover.
MIR. homes claims that when he paid
the 500 it was agreed between him and
the collector that that cancelled his
subscription and relieved him from any
further liability. The action of the
commission in regard to Mr.. Holmes is
an indication of the course they in
tend to pursue in regard to other de-
linQUpntg

stood uD together to get the sentence.
The judge looked duly and properly SOL
enn. and after briefly recalling the cir
cuHgtances Of the crime, dWelt at some
length on the fact that they were
equally guilty. and should suffer the
same punishment
And So he said, at is the Judgment

SUES TIE SHERIFF..
Monk Claims S25, 900 Damages For
Being Put In a Dungeon.

James T. Monk has entered suit againet
Thomas p Lewis, sheriff of Salt Lake
county. and his bondsmen Alex. Tarbet,
William Harker Benjamin Harmon, ]. a.
Cunningham, Elias Morris and a. II.
Raleigh
1t Is alleged in the complaint that on
Aug 2, 1897. while the plaintiff was con-
fined III the county jail for contempt Of
court and under the care and custody OF
the sheriff and lailor. the sheriff nalic-
lonsiy and without cause compelled the
plaintiff at about 2 o'clock D. IN. on sald
day to enter a dungeon CELL the same
beng n continual darkness and without
any proper ventilation and in a foul aud
unhealthy condition and kept piaintiIt
there for period of tive days WrChout
respite with nothing to eat and drink
| but bread and water, and with nothing
/ to lie down or rest upon except a piece
Of dirty, wet blanket. The ventilation of
the cell, ne alleges. was so bad that he
| had to lie the greater portion of the time
on his stomach with his nose and mouth
suffocation- The plaintiff suffered in
tense agony and knew not of the passing
of the days and the nights
Plaintiff says he has been greatly in
Jured both mentally and physically and
claims $4,000 damages.
The occasion of Monk being placed in
the dark cell was that he refused to obey
rule of the Jail by which prisoners were
required to attend divince services on
Sunday.
