The story of Durrant's Journey from the
time he aiighted from the Sheriff's van
al the pier, from which the ferry-boat
IIburon carried him over the bay, was
not without strange features. Durrant
passed upon the boat just moment be-
lore the starting time. All the passengers
gazed at him, as they were drawn up in
a double line on either side of the apron,
With such curiosity as rarely is mani
tested at any public spectacle. HIS hands
were manacled. Chief Jailer Andrew Sat-
tier and John F. Usher had hold of his
arms. Sheriff Whelap, Deputies Fitz-
gerald and Kennedy were near OF all the
party more seemed as cool as Durrant
When he alighted from the van, being
preceded and closely followed by the
Deputy Sheriffs, his expression was down
cast. But there was no twitching of mus
cles, no coptortion of his features, no
deeper lines in his face. He was the same

a party of four strangers. recent ar
rivals in Tombstone. which is causing
considerable comment and no end of

treasure, hunting for the Contention

ally guided in its search for the hidden
object, are aiioat. and while either or
all surmises may be correct. no infor-
nation is divulged, and the hunt con-
tinues increasingly. and the mystery
deeDens and furnishes food for gossips.
The party arrived but recently. and has
spent four days in its search, going
over the ground carefully, inspecting
each bush and digging in every little
depression in the earth. all Of which

WYOMING.

A Cheyenne dispatch dated July Il
says: The reported lynching al Jack
sons Hole Wyo., as sent to the Salt
Lake papers, was sensational and un-
true. A reliable western ranchman
who has just reached the city says
that John Sargent, charged with helm
Gus crimes, had not been lynched and
that he has been caught in the state
OF Washington and is willing 10 return
to Wyoming if the state viii guarantee
him protection from mob violence and
fair trial. There seems to be no
doubt that the people of Jackson's
Hole regard Sargent guilty Of cruelty
to his wife and the cause of her death.
They have substantial evidence to
show that he crimnally assaulted his
lO-year-old daughter. If reports are
true Sargent win be brought back 10
Uinta county and will be tried at
Evanston, Wyo. As far as can be
learned the Evanston authorities have
received no advices and the warrant
for Sargent's arrest was issued by
justice of the peace of Jackson's Hole.

Monticello, San Juan County. Utah,
July 15.-In regard to the proposed an
nexation Of this county to Grand. those
who were in favor of the scheme have
been convinced Of its imrractscability
and have abandoned the idea, at least
Tor the present. It originated in some
OF the county officials who became
scared OF the debt limit and supposed
me penitentiary was yawning for any
one who, in the discharge Of their
duties, should authorize any expense
beyond the limit As the limit does
not cover the expenses entailed by
law, and as long as the county
organization continues of course ex-
pense is increased.
The commissioners thought they had
TO get out of IL in a hurry, or go to
the pen. They have, however, devised
means of raising a little additional
revenue and become convinced that
a county has no legal right TO dis
organize and merge itself into another
county without action by the legisla-
ture. Even If such q move had been
possible, il was found that in this
county II would have been impossible

PROVO SINKING FUND.
Proposition to Pay Off the Water
works Bonds.


Provo. July 2O-At meeting of the
city council last evening the committee
on finance, consisting of Newell, Alex
ander and Goddard, reported favorably
on the matter of a sinking fund, the
purpose of which will be to pay off
the bonds for waterworks They
recommended that the sum of $500 be
set apart and that the amount be aug
mented as fast as the city is able.
There was considerable discussion on
the subject, most of which was favor
able to the report. The matter Will be
settled definitely at the next session Of
the council.

The excitement of the Jubilee has

win go to Salt Lake tomorrow, 20

take place in the evening.
At this mornings session of the dis
trict court the case of Henry Shields
VS.. the Hercules Mining company was
taken up, which is a suit to recover
$4,705 alleged TO be due the plaintiff.
George Sutherland came into court to
look after the defendants side of the
case. This promises TO be a protracted
case, as there are some questions of
law over which there is great
amount of controversy.
After the evidence of the prosecution
had been heard in the case of the state
VS.. James Rainier. the hearing was
postponed for a few days. 1t was aD-
parent from the testimony that this
defendant Will have difficult time Of
getting out of this scraDe, as he is
barred from almost any kind of de-
Tense by the evidence of reliable wit
nesses.
