Narrow Escape of oscar T. shucb

At 80 P NJ. last evening Oscar T. Shuck had
a narrow escape from being run over by an
electric car on Kearny street. He was walk
ing norihward in front OF the old City Hall lot,
which has high wooden inclosure, between
which and the car track is a space of about six
feet. To avoid pool CT rain water he made a
step to the left which placed HIM directly on
one of the car rails, and an electric car going
also northward instantly struck him from be-
hind. He received the blow in the calf of the
left leg, but did not fall and said to the grip
man (who had stopped his carr, go ahead, 1T
was my fault" He declined to give his name
to the conductor saying, "I do not think it
amounts to much" Last night Mr.. Shuck
thought he would be at his business by to-
morrow. bnt expects 10 be lame week or so.

THE EDISON CASE.
SOME ECHOES OF THE RECENT
SENSATIONAL TRIAL.
Jury Was Unanimous From the First
Speculation as to the Sentence
Weber County Schools.

The Edison trial still continues to be
a topic of conversation. Excitement
was rife Friday night when the jury
had been out a long time and it began
to look like an acquittal or one of the
lesser verdicts was a possibility. 1t
was learned, however, that this was
at no time probable. The jury was
practically agreed from the first,
though many would gladly have found
otherwise because of Edson's previous
good record, and the genuine sympathy
which will be felt for his parents and
other members of his family. Many
of his relatives are among the most
respected and honored of Weber coun-
tvs citizens.
Several attorneys came out of the
case with flying colors. 1t was the
first real important criminal case which
County Attorney Peery has had to
prosecute, and he showed himself well
worthy his office. Will Smith, too, is
known to have rendered valuable aid
in the case, being authority on nu-
merous law points involved. While A.
j. Weber made no speech, his cross
examination of Edison was a subject for
universal praise, and the public seems
disposed to credit him with the ripe
experience that was brought to the
case. A. B. Hayes received numerous
congratulations on his closing speech.
Judge Maginnis is conceded to have
made better fight for his client than
was thought possible. while the skill
which Mr.. Peyton exhibited in bring
ing out Edson's story surprised those
who knew him only as an eloquent
speaker.
Much speculation is INDUCED in as to
what the sentence OF Edison will be-
Many are inclined to think that he
will be given the limit-ten years-by
Judge Rolapp, while those who think
the judge will take into consideration
his youth think seven years will be i'm
posed. Mr.. Maginnis will endeavor to
get g. new trial for his client, but there
were few disputed points in the case.
However, it is alleged that one of the
jurors was prejudiced and had ex-
pressed himself as so before the trial
was called.
The other case against Edison for
shooting McCabe will likely be tried
this month, unless a plea of guilty is
entered.
Soon after the jury had retired Judge
Rolapp sent in for the papers in case
a verdict had not been reached. This
was to alter one of the forms a little.
This fact is said to give the defendant
a little hope for a new trial.
Taken all in all. the shooting. the
Jail break, the recapture and the sensa-
tional trial have made about the big
gest items of news that Ogden has fur

HoRTICULTURISTS MEET.
The New Law Discussed by Our Fruit
Growers.

A few fruit growers held an informal
meeting in State Superintendent Parks
office yesterday afternoon. The new
horticultural law was discussed and
plans for the society's meeting which
takes place next Monday were consld-
cred.
Secretary Wright was present and out
lined the policy to be pursued by the
new horticultural board. 1t will be of
a persuasive and educational nature. he
said, rather than an effort TO enforce
the law. The new act IS very strict and
its provisions should be enforced; still.
If the people were educated to realize tn
natural advantages this state presents
above all others it would follow that peO-
pie would take better care of their
orchards
Mr. Wright estimates that we are send
ing 800 600 annually to other states for
fruit which can be raised with greater
profit here. No state in the Union has
fruits than has Utah. Instead of sending
money out of the state the balance OF
trade should be the other way; this state
should export 100000 worth of orchard
products every year. The chief thing
for the hoticulturaistS is to realize that
that the orchards must be kept clean and
properly sprayed. Worms attack weak
growth and by proper care the orchards
of the state could soon be brought to q
state of perfection where insects would
have little chance to thrive. The law
concerning spraying should be observed
and the board will seek TO educate the
people in regard to caring for the
orchard.
When the board meets tomorrow rules
and regulations for spraying will be
formulated and these will be rigidly en-
forced. 1t is then the intention of the
board to hold meetings from time to
this method reach, interest and educate
the people in proper fruit raising.
