Matters at Mercur.

Mercur. June 1O.-W. A. Brunker, I'M
til recently an employee of the Geyser-
Marion, was arrested about ten days
ago charged with enticing little girls
There was not sufficient evidence to
prove the case, although the presump-
ton would be against him. He was
again arrested on Tuesday charged
with assault with attempt to do bodily
harm, the complaining witness being a
12-year-old girl named Maud Jensen,
who lives near the Marion mill.
A number of people had complained
to the officers that Bunker was act
ing in a very suspicious manner, but
he had done nothing sufficient to war
rant his detention. In the case of the
Jensen girl, however, he had made an
assault, although the girl had sue
.ceeded in freeing herself before any
thing very serious had happened
Brunker was fined 500 and not being
able to raise the money was sent 20
jail for 80 days. He claims TO have
a wife and family in Salt Lake City,
and has been in Mercur a little over
a month.

SHOOTING AFFRAY.
Edward Stevens Fires Three Shots at
Isaac Huet.


Yesterday afternoon about 4 O'Clock
Edward Stevens fred three shots al
Isaac E. Huet, narrowly missing him
The affair happened at Plain City in
front of Stevens residence. 1t is said
there is a woman in the case. Huet
recently came to Plain City from Idaho
was supplanting him in the affections
of a certain young lady. Huet was
riding past Stevens house when the
latter grasped his 50 calibre revolver in
both hands, took deliberate aim and
fired. Huet is something of a cowboy
and an excellent, hofSeman, and he
leaned down and to one side, putting
the horses body between him and
Stevens He says the first bullet went
so close to his neck that he felt it pass.
He galloped on and Stevens fired two
more shots after him. neither of which
took effect.
Huet came to Ogden and swore to a
complaint charging Stevens with at
tempted murder. Sheriff Belnap and
Deputy HORROR went to Plain City and
brought stevens back, he making no
resistance.
When seen at the jail he said that
Huet was boarding with a family
named Taylor and persisted in showing
attentions to Miss Taylor, which the
young lady did not wish to receive, and
that he (Steyens) had been going with
the girl for a number Of years. He
said he believed that Huet intended to
get the girl into trouble and that he
was always boasting that he was not
afraid of anything, and that he fired
the shots more to frighten him than
anything else. He also said Huet had
bought a gun and he didn't know but
Huet was intending to use it on him.
but he admitted he didn't know
whether Huet had it with him yester-
day or not.
The Taylor family is a highly re-
spectacle one and the young lady in
the case seems in no way to blame for
the affair.
