Provo, Sept f0.-Ecfoes Of the bali
are heard from every tongue this morn

bers of the committee who arranged
for the fair ball, and who carried out
the programme with such universal
satisfaction. Although there may be a
sigh in the hearts OF those fair ones

county queen, there is general salts
faction over the result. These are the
names of the ladies who appeared as
candidates for the honor: Miss Fergu-
son, Lake Shore; Miss Hancock, Pay
son; Miss Wheeler. Springyiile; Miss
Pratt, Provo; Miss Gardner, Spanish
Fork; Miss Chapman, American Fork;
Miss Bullock, Pleasant Grove, Miss
Larson, Salem, and lastly, and most
notably, the successful one, Miss Frona
Ferguson of Goshen. This list pre-
scented an array of beauty seldom seen
together, and each was declSed out in
beautiful gowns, wearing crown with
the name of her town inscribed thereon.
Miss Ferguson'S friends from her ma
tive town were loyal to her, and were
determined that she should wear the
crown, whether their bank accounts
suffered or not. A good sum was real
lied by the fair committee, the re-
ceipts aggregating about $685.

Attacked-Rumor Of a Religious
Test'-Dimculty In Securing a
Jury.

Junction, Sept. s.-The case of the state
US. Harry Mills for the killing Of John
Peyne at MarysVale was called today and
Mills was brought into court by the
sheriff. He looked somewhat pale and the
keen and quick movements of his eyes
betrayed anxiety and nervousness He is

Judge ". H. King and County Attorney
Page represent the state.
After the roll of the jury was ca1led ana
the L men drawn were about 70 be sworn,
Judge Powers challenged the impanenng
of the jury on the ground that the law
under which it had been summoned IS
unconstitutional, and offered the following
reasons to substantfate mis- claim:
Chapter lii, of the session laws OF 1875,
being an act entitled An act to provide
for drawing and Summonfng grand and
petit jurors, under the provisions OF winch
the jurors now here were drawn Sc
lected and summoned, was never adopted
the house of representatives of the state
of Utah for the year 1895, in accordance
with the provisions of section q of article
U of the constitution of the state OF
Utah.
Said law was never passed or adopted
by the senate and house of representatives
of Utah. Said law was never read three
times in the house of representatives;
Said law was not passed by an aye and
nay vote of said house of representatives:
Said law was never passed at the third
reading by any vote whatsoever in SAID
house of representatives.
The challenge WAS argued at great
length by Judge Powers for defendant
and Judge King for the state after which
the court denied the challenge 1t will be
remembered that before the supreme
court in the Hayes case this same ques-
ton was raised and not passed upon by
that body for the reason that the point
had not been raised by objection or other
wise during the trial of the case in the
lower court. Should conviction be had
in this (the Mills case and it goes up, the
question of unconstitutionality viii be
properly before the supreme tribunal Of
the state.
Judge Powers objected to the jurtsdic-
tioon of the court to try the case on the
same ground that the law authorizing
courts in the state of Utah to and de-
nuM and void for the reason that the
said law was never adopted or passed by
| the legislature in accordance. with the
provisions of the constitution of the state.
This objection was oVerruled-
| At the close of court this evening after
examining the panel of "a jurors, seven
| only were found to be qualified and ac-
| ceptable to both sides to try the case
I and were sworn in as follows: Thomas

A RELIGIOUS TEST.

During the examination of jurors this
afternoon a heated discussion ensued be-
tween Judge Powers for the defense and
Judge King for the state. The former
inferred that religious faith had been
made a test of qualitica ton to act upon
the jury. Mr.. King Indignantly denied
the charge and investigation proved that
1t was unfounded or, at least, founded
upon rumor only. Mr.. Powers thought
there had been too much of that kind of
thing in the past and that it should be
at an end, to which Mr.. King heartily
