After the division of the state appro-

After the division of the state appro- priation for good roads was made by the highway commissioner, there was left sum of $9,000. Circulars went sent out to i'll the towne, s! attng that they would be allowed share of this for the grad ing of their roads If they would vote cor responding sum. Many letters have been received at the of1ceSef the commission inquiring how the money would be divi- ded and the plan proposed is this On October t5 the $s,oO6 will be equally distributed among the towns that ask for it and vote like sum. It Is thought that about forty towns will ask for 1t and such being the case each would have, with their own appropriation, $400.

Mercur, Jan. Frank Branett, VINO
was employed by the Golden Gate
Mining company. fell 400 feet down the
shaft at about 1870 last night He
was reduced to a shapeless mass.
Branett was about 81 years of age. His
wife and three children live at Tooele.
Branett is daughter of James Dunn.
At the inquest held this afternoon
over the body of Branett, it was shown
that the rules forbid the workmen en-
tering the mine by any but the south
shaft, but frequently the rules were
broken, and during the seven shifts
which Branett worked he had always
come and gone by the main shaft The
shaft has no door but hole four and
half feet by two feet. A plank
stands on edge at the bottom. Branett
evidently mistook this for the door of
the engine house, few feet away.
Deceased was a native of Iowa. The
verdict of the jury was that the death
was purely accidental and no blame
could attach to any one The body
will be taken to Tooele tomorrow for
burial.

A Nephi Water Case.

Nephi, Jan. THE case of John
Hague VS.. the Nephi Irrigation com
pany, has been occupying the atten-
ton of the court for the past two days
In this case Hague is suing the de-
PENDANT company for an alleged unlaw-
full diversion OF the water from his
millrace, claiming that the water nee
essary to operate his grist mill was
appropriated by himself and predeces-
sors in 1854, and had been applied 10
a constant beneficial use by himself
and predecessors ever since, when not
interfered with by the defendant: and
he. therefore, asks for a restraining
order and $4,000 damages that he claims
to have sustained by reason of such
unlawful diversion.
The defendant simply claims that it
has not interfered with the water of
his mill, but has acted in relation to
the water as it always had done in
the past. The evidence introduced by
the two parties was conflicting as to
the amount of water diverted above
the mill from the creek leading to his
mill in former times and at the pres
ent, the defendants witnesses claim
ing that they let more water run
through plaintiffs mill race now than
formerly. and the plaintiffs witnesses
claiming that it falls very much short
of what it used to be.
The arguments will be made some
time later, when the stenographeT has
time to transcribe the testimony.

NEGRO'S BLOODY WORK.
Kills Four People at Least, and Sue
cessfully Defies Capture.

Sumter, S. c.. Jan. All Sumter
was aroused this morning over re-
port from Lynchburg that Simon
Cooper. negro. had killed Benjamin
Wilson. his son Wesley and Mrs. Yves
ley Wilson.
The first intimation of the tragedy
was received about o'clock, and
shortly afterward Sheriff Pierson re-
ceived a telegram confirming the re-
port, adding further that Cooper had
also killed two negroes, a man and a
gilr. Parties are securing every foot
of the land between Marysville and
Sumter.
The facts in regard to the killing
are as follows:
Cooper went to Lynchburg yesterday
evening for the purpose of forcing a
young cOlored girl to marry him. The
girl and her mother ran into the
swamp Then a posse was organized
and sent in pursuit OF Cooper The
posse came within 200 yards of him at
one time, when he shot and retreated.
Cooper forced some negroes to go with
him and kept them with him all night
He came out of the woods about day
light, and went to the house of
cOlored man named Boyle. took his
horse and compelled BOyle'S son to &C
company him. From there he went 20

distant, where the crime was commit
ted.
A Mr.. Baker. who lives near by, said
he heard cOnsiderab BILE shooting. and
saw Mrs. Wilson go to the buggy house
with Cooper to get the harness and
then go back into the house, Cooper
followed her Cooper, a short time
afterward, came cut on the piazza,
shooting in every direction and forced
Boyle's boy to harness the horse to
Mr.. Wilson's buggy. He got in the
buggy and only went a few yards
when he met a cOlored man named
Smith. He killed him and as he
passed Bakers house shot at the lat
ter's children, who were on the piazza
When the bodies of the Wilson's
were found this morning the old gen
tlemen, 70 years old, was sitting up in
bed with a shotgun in his hand, his
son Wesley was in another bed, his
head split, while on the floor lay the
body of the woman, her head smashed
in and her throat cut. Smith, the ne
gro who was killed on the read, was
found with an axe still in the back of
his neck and his head half severed
from the body

Arizona Bond Souabble.

New York, Jan. THE refusal of
the officials of Arizona territory to ex-
change territorial bonds for Pima
county bonds to the amount of $3OO,OO
as was provided for by contract when
the county bonds were sold and which
exchange was subsequently expressly
authorized and provided for by an act
of congress, has aroused the indigna-
ton of some of the holders of such
county bonds including Mrs. Elizabeth
B. Voorhees, of this\city and James Ut
ter of Oak Hill, n. Y. These holders,
through their agent, now in Arizona,
have given notice to the loan commits
sion of that territory that unless the
exchange of bonds is made forthwith
they will apply to the supreme court Of
the territory for mandamus to COM
pei the exchange.
At the office of W. n. Colerac & Co.
the bondholders in the matter, it was
prised that the exchange of bonds had
not been made, as they knew of no
possible reason for the refusal unless
it was that some timid official of the
territory was afraid to act without the
direct sanction of the court and that
this may have caused that agent to
take the step contemplated.
There was certainly no serious legal
trouble. it was declared. and holders of
such Pimn county bonds had nothing
to fear, beyond short delay. In the
meantime the county bonds were draw
ing Z per cent interest. whereas the
territorial bonds will only draw per
cent
