CACHE JUNCTION SHOOTING.
Caldwell, thu Tramp Who Fired al q
brakeman, Held to Answ r.

Walter Caldwell, the tramp VINO
fired at II. G. Crompton, a brakeman
on tho o. 5. L., last Saturday morning,
at Cache Junction. and who afterwards
was detained In Jail at Brigham, was
brought to Logan this morning by
Sleriff Turner and arraigGe1 before
Justice OF the Peace j. L. Smith. He
was charged with assault with u deadly
weapon with attempt to d. bodily
harm, and pleaded not guilty. Brake
men j. M. Lee, IL. q. Crompton and
q. IL. Reufro testified SUBSTANTIALLY
as follows; Just rs the freight, on
which they were employed, was lssv.
ing the Junction, Lee notice that one
OF the box car doots was open,
aud upon looking In found
he car occupied by a num-
Der of tramps. He jumped into
the car and ordered them to get out,
whereupon the DEFENDANT pulled bis
gun ana said, "YOu - OF t., you
get out or will Kill you" Lse gol
cut anu stopped the train, anu then
the tramp jumped out and took TO his
heels, followed by II. @. Crampt0r,
who, upon hearing the trouble, had
gone to the caOoose for his guu. In
making the chase, Crompt0n's pistol
was DISCHARGED accidentally, the ball
jus. missing his own foot. Then the
fl seing tramp turned and fred at
Crompton, missing him by about six
ieet. The pursuer and pursued ox-
changed three shots each, when the
latter hsulted to reload, and while
doing 30 was persuaded TO throw up
his arms anu submit to arrest.
The defense produced lone wit
ness, an unwashed and UNI
comDed "vag" by the name OF VIII
son, who walked most OF the way to
Brigham ia order to testify there, and
who, upon learning that the prisoner
had been brought to Logan, stole
ride up mere. In appearance, both the
defendant d Wilson are very young
men, and certainly neither OF them
appear TO be hardened criminsir.
They admitted the uetenusnt's quit
but sought to prove sufficient provoca-
ton for acting as he did. the pistol
he used was shown in evidence. 1t is

Judge Smith thought the evidence
sufficient on whlon to hold the pris-
oner to answer belor the First district
ceurt, anu accordingly fixed his bail
at 5000. This he was unable TO obtain
anu WAS taken back II.

Among the stories told Of early Cali
fornian days is one which gives re-
markable picture Of blacksmith shop.
In the days before roads had been
laid out and sawmills built black
smith settled on one Of the river bars,
and, erecting forge of clay and stones,
set the anvil on a big tree stump which
he had sawed low for that purpose, and
did thriving business sharpening the
picks and drills of the miners.
He was himself a miner and did his
blacksmithing almost entirely at night.
Not knowing when his claim might
fail or be disputed and be forced to
move on to another place, he did not
think it worth his while to build rep
ular shop.
One day two of the miners left the
bar for town some 90 miles away. As
they came into the main trail leading
to the blacksmith's haunt they met a
man leading a horse which had lost
shoe and was stumbling badly.
strangers, "said the man in a weary
tone, "can you tell me how far it is to
the blacksmith's shopY My horse has
lost shoe, and he's mighty lame"
well, now" said one of the miners,
leaning forward and smiling in q most
encouraging way, "don't you be for
givin up. You're in the blacksmith's
shop now, though I'm bound to tell you
it's about three miles before you'll
strike the anvil. "-Youth's Companion.

Justice White of the supreme court is
known among newspaper men as one of
the kindliest men in the world. Not
long ago correspondent found it neces-
sary to call upon the Justice at mid
night for a copy of an opinion delivered
by him in the court that day Justice
White was in bed asleep, and it was
with great difficulty his servant was
induced to awaken him "If l did not
know him to be the best man in the
world, would not dare to do it, A." she
explained. The correspondent waited
anxiously in the hall for the verdict.
Would the justice come down stairs?
And if he came, would it be for the
purpose of looking up the desired doc
ument or of throwing the disturber of
the peace out?
After time the big justice came
down the stairs in his pyjamas, rubbing
his sleepy eyes. He was not enthusiasts
tic about his midnight call, but he was
very polite. AS soon as the visitor had
explained his errand the justice led the
way to his library. There he got down
on his knees and rummaged about
through some dusty old papers in the
bottom of bookcase for the desired
document In quarter of an hour no
found it, and he was very glad he had
been able to do so, though not half so
well pleased as the newspaper man, to
whom this bit Of paper meant scoop"
the next morning for the journal he
represented.
Excuse me a moment" said Justice
White. In FIVE minutes he returned,
bearing with him glass of toddy and
couple Of Havanas. Drink hearty,
