CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS.
st. George People Sustain All Kinds
of Injuries.

St. George, Utah, Nov. ia series
of accidents have befallen the people
here during the last few weeks, mainly
due to the habit of allowing small
boys to ride horses unsuited to juvenile
masters.
The S-year-old son of ]. W. McAllis-
ter, while riding behind his brother,
year or two older, fell and broke his
right arm just above the wrist, and in
consequence is now nursing a crooked
arm.
The little daughter of John Custer
was climbing into wagon, when the
! team. started and she was wrenched
down by the wheel, but in the nick of
time was saved from being run over.
No serious result was looked for, bat it
turns out that the little girl - develop

Ephraim Webt. attending one of the
carding machines at the Washington
factory, had the index finger of his
right hand badly crushed in the cogs.
DR.. Cliff attended to his injuries, but
after an unsuccessful attempt to save
the injured member, was compelled to
amputate the finger just above the
knuckle.
While John T. Larson was engaged
on the Cottonwood ditch, a large num-
Der of blasts were being fired and he,
down and stood directly on a large
charge of giant powder. The blast
went off, showering rock and sand all
around him, but he came out all right
Fortunately for him, the charge was
so well calculated that its energy was
all spent in the loosening of the rock
surrounding it.
Frank Ashby, jr., the little stepson
of George Morris, was pitched from off
a horse which he was riding, and had
his arm broken.
The 11-year-old son of H T. Atkin
was racing his horse in the street
against Edgar Mcdonald, when hiz
saedle turned and the horse kicked
him, tearing the scalp badly and split
ting a piece out and turning the hair
side in. He was picked up and carried
into a neighbours, and DR.. Cliff fixed
him up. He is progressing nicely.
Deputy United States Marshal J. T.
Atkin left st. George today for Wayne
county, where he goes to attend to

lfrom The Herald's Correspondence
Coaaville, Nov. 23.-The preliminary
hearing Of Joseph Storer, charged with
murder in the first degree, was held
today before Justice w. II. Smith, re-
sulting in the accused being bound
over in the sum OF $4,000 to await the
action of the district court.
Some new points relative to the
shooting and killing of Thomas Green,
the Union Pacific fireman. at Echo last
Saturday evening by the defendant,
were brought out by the prosecution,
but the showing was quite favorable
for the defendants claim of self-de-
Tense. The prosecution was conducted
by County Attorney Shields and John
Sammon of Evanston, while Wilson I.
Snyder, of Park City, defended the ac-
cused.
After examining four witnesses the
prosecution rested and the defense not
putting in any testimony, the accused
was held to await trial. His bond was
fixed at $4,000 and Samuel Williams, of
Morgan county and George Beard and
Joseph S. Salmon, of Coalville, quail
fed as sureties, and Storer was re-
leased.
THE TESTIMONY.
In brief the testimony was as fol-
lows:
Deputy Sheriff Paddles testified that
last Saturday night defendant Storer
came to him at Coalville and gave him
self up, saying he had shot a man at
Echo in self defense. Paddles locked
Storer up and then went over to Echo,
where he found Green lying dead in the
saloon. He locked the saloon door and
telegraphed TO the county attorney.
Jim Lung. a Chinaman. swore that
Green threw a quart bottle of whisky
at Storer, the glass cutting some
gashes on his face and also making a
wound near the eye.
John Freeman, a negro, testified that
Green was abusive. quarreiseme and
wanted to fight. He declined. Green
used bad language. Freeman became
alarmed and started to leave the sa-
loon. As he did so Storer told Green
to leave him alone. At this remark,
Green made a vile reply to the saloon
keeper and at the same times threw the
whisky bottle at Storer. Freeman then
left.
Walter Storer, aged ID years. a son
Of defendant. corroborated much of the
testimony already given.
The court room was crowded with
spectators.

BASS FOR WILLARD.
Lakes and Streams Stocked With
This Fish.

Deseret, Nov. 22.-Several hundred
black bass were distributed in this
county last week. They We're put in
Scipfo, Clear lake, Swan lake and Sc
vier river. No one will be allowed to
fish with a seine for some time to

bass will crowd out the carp, as the
river here is literally alive with carp,
and they are scarcely fit to eat, being
coarse and strong in flavor

ship three carloads of lucern seed from
here this week. That crop is excellent
and prices fair this year.

robbery was not discovered until about
10 o'clock this morning, when lady
stepped into the outer part of the Of
flee to post a, letter and noticed that
the wire net work in the window where
the mail is delivered, was torn out. She
notified the postmaster at once and he
upon investigation, found that the rob
bers, after tearing the wire out of the
window, had reached through the open
ing and pried off the money drawer
which was directly under the delivery

There was $500 in the drawer but the
robbers apparently upset it in getting
it out and spilled over S10O on the floor
inside, where they could not get at it.
Officers are working on the case and
hope to find the guilty parties soon.

THORN TRIAL FOR MURDER.
Nothing New ELECTED and Court Adj
iourned Early.

New York. Nov. 25.-At the Thorn
trial today District Attorney Youngs
opened the case for the people in an
address which was for the most part
a repetition of his speech to the jury
when the trial began two weeks ago.
The testimony of the several wit
nesses examined this afternoon related
solely to the finding of the different
portions of the body. 1t was practically
the same as that gone over at the first
trial and nothing new was ELECTED.
Several of Guldensuppe's fellow work
men at the bath house described the
marks by which they had identified
the body as that of the missing rubber
and at 4:50 the court adjourned until
tomorrow.

San Francisco Nov 23.-The Chronicle

Railroad men are in hourly expecta-

senger rates from this city to Chicago
$3.50. The fight between the Wiscon-

thus far resulted in a reduction of
fares from $11 to SIS between Chicago
and ST. Paul. This does not affect
ns-continental business, but the mo-
ment that the cut is extended to the
Missouri river it will reduce passenger
rates just that much from San Fran
cisco to Chicago. Present fares are
$3.50 for 30-day frst-class tickets,
5000 for f1rst-class limited and $3.50
for second class tickets. This is on
the basis of $50, $50 and $40 from here
