Assessment.

Paris, Ida, Aug. 14.-Judge Charles
H Hart is i'll this county on his va
cation. His family is with him Pres
ident James H Hart, his Sather, joined
him Thursday. Their camp is at the
head of Bloomington canyon, where
there is a fine lake.
Ex-Sheriff Joseph Jones. -vho has
been appointed chief of the Short Line
detective force, with headquarters in
Salt Lake City, is visiting among his
! friends in Bear Lake county. 1t is I'M
derstood that his particular business
this time is the collecting of material
to offset the pardon application of Will
Kunz, now. in the Wyoming state
prison. KunZ, it will be remembered,
was found guilty about year ago Of
placing horses on the line of the Oregon
Short Line and then claiming and COL
lecting damages for their getting killed
He was sert uD for long term, and
he is now petitiOning the governor of
Wyoming for pardon Engineer Steve
Staley, who had the train in charge on
the particular night when KunZ was
''trailed," says that when he saw the
five horses punched together on the
track he had just turned one of the
curves coming down Bear River cam
yon, and was making 15 miles " II
minutes under orders, the train being
late. There were over 100 passengers
aboard, and when he struck the poor
animals the train lurched from the
track. 1t was a miraculous escape, and
upon this showing alone Kunz Will ex-
perience great difficulty, it is thought,
in getting a pardon. Besides this evil
dence concerning KunZ's completely in
a certain wreck several years G%so near
Pescadera, in this county, in which one
of the train hands met his death in e.
most mysterious manner, is being col
lected. The fact that Joe Jones has
the work in hand is sufficient guarantee
that no point Will be lost sight of in
the interests of justice and the Oregon
Short Line.
