Washington, Dec. 14.-Representative
King called on the secretary OF the in
terror this afternoon and afterward
visited the Indian Office and conferred
with Commissioner Jones and Assist
ant Commissioner Tanner, relative to
the opening of the Uintah reservation.
He urged those officials to hasten ne
gotiations for a treaty with the
Uintahs by which the Indians would
consent to take lands in severalty, and
then sell the residue to the government.
The congressman presented to the
secretary and Indian commissioner a
letter received by him from allotment
commissioner Myton, relative to the
sentiment among the Uintahs. Mr..
Myton reports many of the Uintahs to
be favorably inclined to the acceptance
of land in severalty.
The secretary promised to push the
matter and do everything possible to
promote negotiations He also said he
would endeavor to secure legislation
from congress accepting such treaty
if made, and opening that part of the
reservation not consumed in allotments
to settlement.

city prisoners at s cents per meal or
to do the cooking for $50 a month, if
the city furnishes all supplies and per-
nit him to live in the house now occu-
pied by him. The proposition was laid
on the table, to be taken up by the

LAND OFFICE RIVALS.

LAND OFFICE RIVALS.
Frank Hobbs, of Salt Lake, and w.
r. White, of Ogden, arrived here this
morning, each in hot pursuit of the
position of receiver of the land office.
Each man is armed with recommends
tions which he is sedulously keeping
from the other. They had hard work
lodging each other today. They will
both call at the land office and give
Commissioner Hermann a chance ITO
pick the winner Hobbs chances now
appear to be best, although White, this
time is not handicapped by eX-Sen-
ator Browns endorsement While each
man is particularly anxious for the
place, both confess a fear that it may
go, like the Office of register, to some
rank outsider or imported friend OF
Mark Hanna.
LOGAN POSTOFFICE FIGHT.
Senator Wolcott's clerks are as 81
lent as the grave when asked whether
a protest has been received against the
confirmation OF Orson Smith as post
master at Logan. The senate commit
tee or postoffices and post roads, of
which Mr.. WO,cott is chairman. will
have charge of this case. 1t is said on
other authority that protest has ar
rived, but it has not yet been called to
the notice Of either of the Utah SEN
ators.
The postoffice committee has plenty of
work before it, as the whole batch of
recess nominations are expected to
come in this week, and Smiths is
among the number The work of the
committee IS so certain to be heavy
that Mr.. Wolcott has secured the adop-
ton of a senate resolution giving him
an additional clerk. The principal
charge against Smith is said to be that
he has been living in polygamy, and
the animus of the charge is the fact
that he was named postmaster over an
old soldier, whose friends have made
the protest.
BEET SEED FROM UTAH.
It is an interesting fact that seed for
the proposed beet growing experiments
of the Denver chamber of commerce
may be furnished from Utah During
his visit TO the west last summer the
secretary of agriculture arranged for

supplied to the department. He prom
ised half ton of seed to the Denver
chamber of commerce this afternoon.

THE WOUNDED McCREA.
Farmer Bidwell is Certain He is the
rlan Who Assaulted Him.

Henry G.. Bidwell, the Perkins poul-
some ten days ago by a man who in
vaded his chicken-yard one night, yes
terday visited the County Hospital and
saw John McCrea, the man wounded a
few days since while resisting arrest
in Yoio and who is suspected of being
his assailant.
Bidwell declared that he was more
than satisfied that McCrea is the man
who took his gun away from him and
broke it over his head.
McCrea has also been identified by
Thomas Mccormack as a man who had
frequently sold him poultry to be made
into tamales.
Constable E. w. Daley of Antelope
Lewis, sons of nearby farmers, recog
niZed him as the tall man with sandy
whiskers whom they had noticed driv-
ing by their places late at night in a
cart rugged with a long, blue box. Sew
eral others also identified McCrea as
man they had seen in that neighbor-
hood and who was found by Aston and
Merriam in a chicken-yard at night
DR.. White yesterday traced the bullet
in McCrea's body to the spinal column,
in which it had imbedded itself. The
wound is a dangerous one, but there is
a possibility that McCrea may survive.
Still he was quite low late last night.

LARKIN LIBEL CASE.
Testimony Taken Yesterday on the
Examination.

The Sunday Leader a week ago
contained an article relating to keeper
of the city pound, w. D. Cooksley, in
which the latter was designated as
low-dowr dog-catcher, who should, on
account of an assault on a one-legged
man. not only lose his job, but be con
fined in the County Jail. The article
also stated that. so far as known,
Cooksley had not a friend in the city.
The assault referred to was really
not made by Cooksley, but by one Of
his deputies. and the poundmaster
brought suit charging Editor Larkin
with criminal libel
The case was called for examination
in the Police Court yesterday morning,
and the article put in evidence. Mr..
Cooksley vas called for the purpose of
testifying that he was the person re-
ferred to in the article that caused the
trouble.
j. H Miller testified that he had writ
ten the article in question, and that,
prior to doing so, he had heard the
matter discussed in the office of the To-
cal evening paper. Mr.. Larkin, the
witness said, was not present, nor did
he see the article prior to its publica-
ton. The witness had no feeling
against Mr.. Cooksley, and the article
was written without malice or intent to
injure the gentleman in question. AS
soon as possible, the witness said, the
Sunday Leader had rectified its mis-
take and through its columns made
ample apologies TO Mr.. Cooksley.
Editor Larlxin testified that he was
not present when the article was writ
ten, and that if he had been it would
not have been published. He did not
however, Plead the "ba by-act," and
readily understood that he was respon-
sible for all utterances of his newspa-
per. AS soon as possible after he had
learned of the mistake he had published
an article generating Mr.. Cooksley. He
did not propose to dney the fact, but
stated that there was no intent what
ever to do the poundmaster an injus-
tice.
City Attorney Brown suggested that
the case be taken under advisement I'M
til he had examined the laws relating
to libel, and in this he was joined by
Mr.. Larkin's attorney, H. L. Buckley
Justice Davis stated that case of
libel had never before been brought be-
fore his court, and that he was not IA
miliar with the law relating to the sub
ject- The case was taken under adj
visement until Friday, May 18th.

charge of having disturbed the peace of
Mrs NJ Slater
Mrs. Slater testified that Mrs. Wag-
ner had rented rooms from her, and
that she had been informed that she
would never pay her rent. The wit
ness had given her tenant notice to va
cate, but the latter had failed to COM
ply, and the witness locked the door.
Shortly afterward the defendant re-
turned and demanded admittance. This
was refused, whereupon she procured
an ak and battered down the door
Mrs Wagner's story was in some re-
spects similar to that told by the com
planning witness. Her rent, she said,
was not due until the It'll of the pres
ent month, and she had been given no
notice to vacate On the day of the
alleged disturbance, the witness said
her baby was in the room when it was
locked by Mrs. Slater, and that she de-
manded the key in order to give it
proper attention. This demand was
refused by Mrs Slater. whereupon the
witness broke in the door with an ak.
She admitted that she had told Mrs.
Slater that she considered her no lady,
and wished to emphasize the statement
in her testimony.
Judge Davis said the accused was
technically guilty of disturbing the
peace, but that as the provocation was
extreme he should impose no penalty.
Judgment in the matter was suspended
and the defendant discharged.

A PISTOL SHOT.
1t Was Probably Fired Without In
tent to Do Harm

There was every indication of free
and easy fight, such as were common
years ago, at East Park on Sunday af-
ternoon, but it ended with a pistol shot.
fired, it is said, by Special Officer w. E..
Click.
Several individuals engaged in a dis
pute, which grew in dimensions until
several revolvers were displayed, and
an unusual number of threats made as
to what would be done Click, in ord
er to dispel the crowd, also drew his
shooting-iron, and either by accident,
or otherwise, it was discharged, the
ball making a hole in the ground.
The smell of powder was too much
for the belligerents and they fled in
hot haste.

The Largest Bicycle Factory in the
World.

This distinction belongs to the West
ern Wheel Works, makers of the Cres-
cent Wheel, whose immense six-story
buildings cover an entire block in the
city of Chicago. The daily capacity is
500 finished bicycles, and for several
months during the year is pushed to its
fullest extent. The enormous quantity
of material used, unapproachable me-
chanical facilities and the fact that
Crescents are sold on closer margin
than any other wheels made, enables
the consumer to procure a wheel whose
value is generally estimated to be SO
more than any other wheels listed at
the same price. Kimball & Epson.

RESOLUTIONS OF SYMPATHY.

The New York Commercial Adver-
tiser is very much Disguised with Rep
resentative Maguire's resolutions of
sympathy with Greece 1t says they
are piece of gross impertinence, which
is very true. Il says the merits or de-
merits of the cause for which Greece is
battling have nothing to do with the
real point in the case. 1t declares that
it is no concern to this government, as
a government, which side triumphs in
the Greco-Turkish war. It goes on to
say that expressions of sympathy with
Greece or Turkey on the part of indi-
viduals or public mass meetings are not
out of place, but it is spirit of meddle-
someness which would involve the gov
eminent in the dispute which is now
raging between Greece and Turkey.
LAS n government it says, I'VE are in
friendly relations with both of these
powers. and common sense dictates
that we should remain so as long as
national honor and welfare permit. Let
us attend to our own affairs
All that is good common sense. Con-
gress and the state legislatures are
given entirely too much to passing res
olutions of sympathy with this or that
country, this or that cause. The reso-
lutions amount to nothing. but they af-
ford a vert convenient way of 'slop-
ping over" II, when two countries are
at war with each other, congress feels
it incumbent upon it to pass resolutions
of sympathy with one, it should ac-
company such resolutions with resolu-
tons of censure of the other; it is the
only logical thing to do
No mater how the people of the
country NAV sympathize with either
Greece or Turkey. the relations of this
government with both are friendly, and !
should be kept so, and scrupulous care
should be exercised to give offense to
