NO BONDS FOR GRAND.
Court House Proposition Is Over
whelmingly Defeated.

Moab, Utah. Aug. 12.-Grand county
held a special election today on the fol-
lowing proposition:
For Grand county to incur and Gre
ate an Indebtedness of and not to ex-
coed the sum of $4,000, for the purpose
of building and furnishing a court
house, and for building and repairing
roads and bridges IN said county,
The vote at Moab was 6 for. "A
against. Returns have not been receiv-
ed from the other precincts. but it is
believed that the vote there will be
unanimous against, as there has been
a strong expression from other places
against the idea of a court house at
Moab, while road improvements were
favored.
The way the proposition was put
raised much opposition, as it did not
specify the amount to be used in the
two lines of improvements.
Interest in the La Sal Mountain min
ing district is growing, and numerous

Peoa Correspondence Coalville Times:
A very. sad case of death happened near
here on Tuesday morning. Mrs. Maud
Miles Casper, of Charleston, Wasatch
county, has been here for the past few
days visiting with her mother and
other relatives and friends. On Tues
day. morning Mrs. Casper rode up TO
the home of her brother, E. H. Miles,
who lives in Oakley, and upon her ar
rival handed the young babe. which is
only a few weeks old, out to those
waiting out side of the buggy, when
the discovery was made that the child
was dead. The general supposition is
that the babe broke a blood vessel as
its clothing and that of its mother was
saturated with blood, and blood was
coming from its nose.

The hearing of George Mcfarland on
the charges brought by James McFar-
land was had yesterday before Justice
Hulaniski. James Mcfarland, II ap-
pears, was desirious Of having the
other man bound over to keep the
peace, claiming that he feared bodily
harm from George.
There was evidence to show that
James Mcfarland was working on land
that has been in dispute and that some
words passed between him and George
Mcfarland, and the latter went for a
shot gun. Several shots were fired,
but as there were one or two other
parties about at the time it was not
exactly proven who fired them. Even
the complaining witness claimed that
he kept stoieally at work while the
shots were cracking within a few feet
Of him He said if he was to die he
wanted to be at work when the final
summons came. George Mcfarland
said he got the gun because he dared
him, and that he fired at mark.
The real gist of the trouble is said
to be the land in dispute between the
two families. The matter was in litl-

ceedings yesterday f. NJ Allison, IT.,

necessary to get a smelter at work. and
turning out a product in order to prac-
tically demonstrate that the ores could
be successfully and profi1ably treated.
They had advanced in that direction so
far that the smelter was now in Weiser.

inclined to think it would be located
on the banks of the Snake. at the foot
of the Kleinschmidt grade, about 20
miles from the mines. the idea being
that it would be down out of the snow
there, the coke supply could be deliv-
cred cheaper, and the Oregon ore field
be also drawn from. The Idaho rail-
road was organized to build narrow
gauge from the smelter TO the mines.

THEY MAY WEAR BIRDS.
Decision of Massachusetts, In Favor
of Head Gear.


Boston, Mass, Aug 1.-THE law
which was intended to prohibit the
wearing of feathers or bodies of birds
for ornamental purposes in Massa-
chusetts, has been Interpreted by At
torney General Knowlton in such a way
that there is practically no prohibition
at all. In an exhaustive paper the
attorney general says:
L am of the opinion that the statute
is not to be constructed as prohibiting
having in possession or the wearing
the body or feathers of birds taken or
killed without the commonwealth.
1t was stated at the time of the pas
sage of the act that the measure was
an honest and earnest attempt to stop
the killing of birds for ornamental pur-
poses. and discourage the wearing of
feathers in bonnets. As Mr.. Knowlton's
opinion practically removes such re-
striction, those who have been earnest
in fighting for the case of the birds be-
lieve the legislatures of the state will
not let the matter rest.
