ATTORNEYS BUNCOED.
A New Game Being Worked With
Some Success.

About a score of the leading attor-
neys have been touched during the
past few days for small sums, ranging
from 81 to So each, by an individual
who gives the name of David ]. Kerr.
Mr.. Kerr, in most cases, represents
himself as a resident of Nephi and
tells story which causes the attorney
he is addressing to scent a good fat
fee in a sure winning case. Kerr's
narrative is that four years ago he ne
gotiated a loan of 81 900 with the agent
of one of the leading banks in Salt
Lake. For security il was agreed that
he would give a mortgage on certain
real estate in Salt Lake and in Payson
The papers were drawn up and duly
signed, but the agent hadn't the 1000
just at that moment, and, being after
o'clock, the bank was closed: and Mr.
Kerr, having important business at
Nephi that afternoon, says he left the
mortgage and so forth duly signed with
the agent under the promise that the
latter would send him the money that
evening, out he failed to do so that
evening or at any other time, and
events having arisen by which Kerr
was enabled to get along without the
loan, he says the matter was left in
allegiance, and the deeds and mortgage
remained in the hands of the agent.

until short time ago, the specified
time for the repayment of the loan
having expired, the property was fore

and satisfactory; but when Mr.. Kerr

Pump For Cherry Creek.

The directors of the Mammoth Min
ing company held a meeting yesterday
afternoon, for the purpose of receiving
bids for a pump which is to be installed
at the station on Cherry creek, which
is at one end of the fine water system
owned by the company, and which fur
nishes the water supply for the mines
and mills at Mammoth and Silver City,
and also for the camp of Mammoth and
Robinson.
\ large number of bids were opened
and considered. but the choice finally
settled on the Prescott pump, for which
a contract was given to the Fred NJ.
Prescott company, of Milwaukee.
This pump, The Herald is informed,
is to have a capacity of lifting 500 gal
Ions per minute, and will cost in the
neighborhCod of $4,000.
The change in pumps was necessi-
tated by the increased demand for
water, and il is believed that it will
answer all purposes and requirements
for long time TO come.

that about three miles of the line will

George NJ. Meakin. commonly known
as Matthias Meakin, the old fellow who
for years has spent large proportion
OF his time in the city Jail for petty
offenses, such as drunkenness and petit
larceny, has been in the county Jail
for some months waiting trial for the
more serious offense of horse stealing.
The county has had his case under
consideration Cor some time and from
reports of the jailors and others who
had him under close observation the
conclusion was reached that the old
fellow was mentally incompetent and
irresponsible and on that ground he
was discharged on the motion of the
county attorney.

THE MINERS LAMENT.
The Pay Streak That Went Off Into
the Wall.

The Pay Streak That Went Off Into
the Wall.
H. C. Thompson. in the Idaho World,
in a few lines of verse. has portrayed
very wildly the luck that sometimes
befalls the erstwhile prosperous miner,
as follows:
Far beyond the glamor
OF the city and its strife
There was once little quartz mine rich
and free.
Where an honest-hearted miner
Used to lead happy life.
Contented at his work as he could be.
He walked the earth quite proudly,
a bonanza king forsooth.
For he thought no disappointment could
befall.
But ne LEFT his work one evening.
Anr his sad heart knew the truth,
For the pay streak had gone off into the
wall.
There's name that's never spoken.
There's a miners heart that's broken.
For he thought he'd be invited TO the
Bradley Martin ball.
There is still a memory living
OF how prospects are deceiVlnS:
When the pay streak wanders off into the
wall
Now he sits within his cabin
Thinking of the coming years,
And wondering what the future has in
store.
While the demon of dependency
Is wailing in his ears.
And the hungry wolf is bowling at the
door.
Still his heart is in the mountains,
There among the rocky seams
And he sometimes thinks tbs gone beyond
recall.
Where bright with golden spangles,
In the rosy realms of dreams.
Lies the pay streak that went off into
the wall.
There's a name that's never spoken.
There's a miners heart that's broken,
There's just another missing from the
Bradley-Martin ball.
There is still a memory living,
OF how prospects are deceiving
When the pay streak wanderS ols into the
wall
