and the Press. The literature on the
subject had become so voluminous
that some such condensation became
necessary. Readers may judge for
themselves if The Herald's statements
were correct or not. The Herald's
point was that the newspaper wrangle
over the office was amusing. Whether
the other matters logged into the
controversy by the Standard writer
are true or not true is not to the
point. The Herald never claimed that
the reward offered by the Standard
had been earned; The Herald claimed
that the Switch and Press claimed it
had been earned while the Standard
denied the claim, but the controversy
was amusing no matter whose claim
was just.
If The Herald was disposed to be
technical it would point out numerous
little Inconsistencies tending TO
destroy whatever merit the Standard
TRADE may have. 1t would for instance
say that The Herald made no vicious
attack on Mr.. Coleman a year ago,
nor at any other time, and that no libel
suit was ever commenced; that Warner
and Wall, whom The Herald did show
up, are serving time for manslaughter.
The Herald might show how little the
writer of the Standard article knows
what he was writing about when he
said the expose of the plot to liberate
Warner and Hall showed the true
character of the local correspondent
when every bit of that creditable bit of
work was done by another young man
who has received praise for his good
work on that occasion from newSpa-
pers and peace officers the state over.
1t might be in order to point out that
the trial of Warner, Wall and Cole
man occurred last September, instead
of about year ago. While all these
things would be true they would not
be TO the point except to show how an
angry man can become entangled
when he runs amuck with the con-
tents of the dictionary.
The Standard wants to avoid a. con-
troversy and says it will deposit 500
in the bank if The Herald will do
likewise and then if The Herald will
prove that the Standards offered re-
ward has been earned by anyone.
Judge Rolapp being the referee, it will
give the 500 TO the public library, The
Herald to forfeit the sum if it fails.
All this is not at all to the point and
The Herald seeks no controversy.
If the Standard is really anxious to
get the matter before Judge Rolapp
there is a perfectly legitimate way.
Let the manager secure the assistance
of an attorney and if The Herald has
done the mean things attributed to it
the Standard can get many times 800
from The Herald and no one will OBJ
ject to its giving a bit to the public
library.
But the newspaper wrangle over the
office of postmaster at this early day
is amusing whatever else be true.

Especial to The Herald.)

Butte, Mont, March 2T.-Charles o.
Johnson, former county clerk and re-
corder, was indicted by the grand jury
today for embezzling SO, 1870 of county
funds, which were received by him as
fees and which he failed to turn over
to the treasurer. His actual shortage
is believed TO be greatly in excess of
the amount named in the Indictment
He has disappeared and is believed to
be on his way out of the country. Tele-
grams have been sent to intercept him.
He was prominent A. P. A. politician
and served as county clerk for four
years, commencing in 1892. He was
candidate for reelection last fall, but
was defeated.

Fake Journalism.

The Standard of yesterday flew into
a terrible passion and said some things
tending to show that The Herald, and
particularly The Herald's Ogden
representative, is not popular with the
Standard. In about half a column
editorial a writer runs rampant and,
to borrow a trite epigram, says some
things that are true and some things
that are to the point; but the things
that are true are not to the point and
the things that are to the point are
not true.
Without really saying very much the
Standard writer manages to get into
a brief paragraph illusions to numer-
Gus things such as "stabbing the
Standard in the back" libel SUITS"
true character of the correspondent"
"inexcusable and contemplate ac-
tions," expose" lies "insinuations''
and a few other little pleasantries
Mention of a, murder trial and a plot
to free prisoners is brought in probably
for rhetorical effect as it can have
no bearing on the matter which the
Herald, was innocently discussing in
the article which provoked the Stand
ards criticism.
The article in the Herald appeared
Friday and was headed AN Amusing
Controversy The writer pointed out
the ludicrous aspects of the contro-
versy being .waged among Ogden pa
perS over the fitness and unfitneSS of
certain candidates for the postmaster
ship of ogden when there will be no
vacancy for nearly two years. The
Herald merely gave a clear resume of
the claims made by the three papers

More Facts About the Case of Chas
F. Bell.

Charles F. Bell came to his death by
reason of a dose of carbolic acid TAX
sen with suicidal intent Such was the
gist of the verdict rendered yesterday
by jury composed of Hagbert Ander-
son, Job Pingree jr- and Edwin Dalli-
more.
No trace of such poison could be
found about the premises, but the ac-
ton of the poison on the mans mouth
showed plainly that it could not have
been morphine.
Among his effects was found an I'M
collected check on the Penn bank of
Pittsburg for $500, together with cor
respondence showing that the man had
tried to collect it since 1888, but had
failed because of the failure of the
bank. Other correspondence showed
that he had been sending money for
the maintenance of a sick sister in
Germany. He had $3.50 in money and
effects valued at about $50. He was
buried yesterday by Undertaken
Richey.

Nature

TO the case are Edla Erickson and
John Erickson. Edla. teStifieS to a live
" encounter having taken place be-
tween her and her husband at which
time ne thrust her finger in his mouth
and bit it in a most frightful manner,
She also states that he went through
the usual category of disgraceful cpl
thets. which comes out in similar cases
calling her several names which do
not appear well in public print. She
alleges failure to support as we'll as
cruelty.
Another case wherein affairs of a
delicate nature are brought to public
notice came to the surface today.
Grace Chesley came into the office of
County Attorney King and complained
that she has been victimized by Rob-
ert Boardman, jr. Both parties are well
known in Provo and are widely con-
nected. Miss Chesiey says she has
been enciente for about seven months,
and all this time she has been await
ing marriage by Boardman, who fails.
TO take up the responsibility where he
left off.
A complaint was filed in Justice

Latimer Jones, the Notorious Forger,
Swindler and Bigamist Brought
Back.

New York, March 27.-Latimer Jones,
the notorious forger and swindler, who
was arrested in England in January
last, was brought back to this country
on the steamship New York, which ar
rived today. He will have TO stand
trial on numerous. charges.
Jones fed from this country in 1888,
when there were 10 indictments for
forgery and swindling hanging over
him 1t has taken ever since then to
accomplish his arrest. Jones started
many enterprises in New York. Near
ly all his schemes we're fraudulent and
his victims were many. After he fed
the country it was discovered that he
had forged paper to the amount of
quarter of a million dollars. He re-
turned to this country secretly, COM
mitted bigamy at Albany and settled
abroad with a rich wife. Jones' arrest
occurred at Scarborough, England,
where he was known as the owner of
Asl.dale stud farm. 1t is said there
are enough charges against him here
to send him to prison for the rest of
his life.

ern. The suit is for $780, 900 and is
brought by Bert Leroy Leo, formerly

The complaint alleges that about Sept.
% of last year the plaintiff was en-
gagged at his usual duties in Salt Lake,
and while trying to uncouple cars met
with an accident necessitating the am
putation of his leg. The cause of the
accident was, he states, an iron bolt
placed in the frame for holding the
brake-shoe in place, and which stuck
out unnecessarily and dangerously and
in such a manner that he could not
see the condition of it. This bolt caught
his trousers leg and threw him down,
cutting and crushing the leg.

STILL THEY COME.
Letters of Inquiry About Barrister
Bennett = Worked the Nickel
Plate Railroad and the Steamship
Company.

Evidences are coming in as the days
go by that ]. Chapel Bennett, Ogden's
much-missed barrister, was a first-class
received in Ogden yesterday which
throws more light on the actions of
the smooth Engiishman after he left
here. The letter came from the Of
fees of the Nickel Plate railroad at
Cleveland, O., and was to c. A. Henry,
local union ticket agent. 1t recited
how Bennett went to Cleveland and
represented to the agent there that he
had lost his ticket; that he was attor-
ney forethe heirs of vast estate in
England, and that the loss of the bits
of pasteboard would, under most cir
cumstanceS, be trif1ing, but just at
present was deucedly inconvenient. The
agent gave him half rate charity tick
cts to New York and introduced him
to the agents of the International Nav
igation company. The company's agent
heard his tale as related in yesterdays
Herald, and gave him second-class pas
sage in the steamer st. Louis for Liver
pool, which sailed March 10. The agent
took as payment a draft from Bennett
for G65 10s.-the man always was
flssy about odd change-and gave him
800 or so i'll change. The English bank
returned the draft with the information
that they never heard of the drawer.
But Bennett was certainly first-class
in his line. How he fieeced Colonel NJ.
M. Kaign, e. A. Littlefield and numer-
Gus other Utahnians has been told in
The Herald. How he buncoed the I'm
ion Pacific out of transportation by
Well arranged advertising pamphlet of
which, however, he had only few
copies printed, was told at the time
of his departure, and his success with
shrewd business men elsewhere shows
him to be first-class in his line.
A LITTLE STORY.
Among so many successful attempts
at bunco it is pleasant to recall one
failure, especially as the attempt was
made on a. minister whom Bennett
thought was easy game. The bar
rister'' went to the reverend gentleman
and after relating his financial embar-
easements and the reason therefor,
asked for an Endorsement on a draft.
The minister-it is also pleasant to
record that he was an Ogden minister
said. pleasantly: My business is
that of saving souls, not credit; but l
will go with you to the telegraph office
and assist you in making your needs
known to your bankers or other cred
itors.''
Bennett refused the proffered offer
in high dudgeon and went looking for
easier men to bunco. He found them.
