JOHN OLSEN FELL SIXTY FEET
DOWN A WINE.
Four Shots Exploded As He Reached
the Bottom and He Was Instantly
Killed-Was Well Known.

Mercur, April 27.-An accident oc-
CURED here this morning by which
John Olsen lost his life. He was work
ing in a winze on the 400foot level of
the Resolute tunnel in the Mercur mine.
AT a m. they prepared to send off
four shots, and Charlie Olsen went to
the surface and prepared to hoist his
brother when the signal should be
given. John spitted the fuse and with
his foot in the loop gave the signal TO
hoist. When about 45 feet from the
bottom and 30 feet from the top, John
shouted, I'm going Get on the lad
der answered Charlie. A second later
John shouted, "hoist away" Charlie
hoisted about Is feet further, when the
rope suddenly Stacked and he could
hear the body of his brother falling
down the shaft. Almost at the same in
slant the shots went off.
Assistance was soon at hand and the
body was found buried in the material
broken by the shots. The body was
taken to Undertaken Watts and a coro-
ner's jury inquest held over the re
mains. The jury rendered verdict of
accidental death.
John Olsen was one of the brothers
who have followed the business Of min
ing in Cottonwood, Eureka and Mercur
and had the reputation of being first
class miner. He was 40 years of age,
unmarried, and was a. native of Swe-
den. The remains were taken to Salt
Lake this afternoon for burial.
The winze in which the accident &C.
CURED was commenced April 4, and
about a week ago a contract to sink so
feet was let to Otto Olsen and John
Burns, since which time the three
brothers have been working at this
place. The winze is about IS feet deep.

SHEEP CREEK TRAGEDY.
Dowd Was Known As a Desperate
Character.

Vernal. April 24.-Sheriff Preece re-
turned last night from his trip to Salt
Lake. after a successful delivery of
James Mckee and the two Atwood
brothers, to the prison authorities Of
the state. Mr.. Preece stated, concern
ing the recent killing over on Sheep
Greek, an account of which recently
appeared in The Herald, that no word
had, come over the mountain concern
ing the affair, and that he had as yet
no further knowledge Of the matter
than what appeared in The Herald.
Sheep Creek. where the killing is said
to have occurred, is 80 miles north of
Vernal, in what is generally known as
the '.Herry's Fork country.
1t is understood there is a constable
and a justice of the peace in that sec
ton, but as yet no cases have ever
been committed 10 the district court at
Yernal from there.
1t is presumed from this fact that
possibly the people over the Hill have a
more satisfactory and expeditions
method of settling their little troubles
than an ordinary court Of justice.
The man Dowd who is said to have
been killed, is quite well known here,
rather unfavorably than otherwise. He
is said to have been quite a desperate
character himself.
Reiser, who it is reported, did the
killing, is not generally known here,
and nothing could be learned concern
ing him. The affair occurred near the
Wyoming line, but in Uintah county,
Utah. so it is stated.

ment of wheat but the favorable weather
for growing winter wheat was in the
minds of people who sell wheat short
early in the session.

OF them were contract. Receipts here q
Duluth received 327 cars, against 2O7 a
year ago. The clearances of wheat and
flour from Atlantic ports were equal to

Vernal Locators Have Apparently
Consolidated Their Interests.

Vernal Locators Have Apparently
Consolidated Their Interests.
Vernal, April PA number of men
have been sent to the gilsonite beds on
White river the last few days, by par
ties who made locations during the re-
cent stampede. There seems to have
been a consolidation of interests, as
the thing seems to be working under
one management, with ]. T. Mcconnell
as one of the main push. The work is
said to be in the nature of assessments,
but it is believed that there is to be an
organized, determined, and systematic
fight made to get possession of these
lands and the work is one of the pre-
liminary steps in that direction.
Mrs. Theora Whitbeck, the wife of
William Whitbeck. a prominent sheep
owner here, is dangerously i'll.
An operation was performed last
evening for appendicitis by the army
surgeon from Duchesne. 1t is stated

Mr.. Whitbeck is absent, having left
for Manti several days ago. An effort
has been made to reach him by wire,
but without success as yet.

tiers to Her Husband.

charge of adultery, took place before

mailed them to Bruner, who copied
them and returned them to her where
upon she placed them where her sus-
picious spouse would find them, hoping

Face Covered with Large Sores.
Medical Treatment Useless.
Cured by Cuticura.
SKIN NOW SMOOTH and ROSY.

My niece's little baby boy, two years old,
was so badly afflicted with Eczema that he
needed constant watching. 1t was all over
his face, and he scratched the sores con-
stantly. Mornings, his clothes would be
stained with blood, and his face and hands
would be covered. His family never could
take him out, as his face was always full of
large sores. They had medical treatment, and
tried everything they heard of. She COM
menced using the CUTIcURA REMEDIES last
spring and found that at last she had won

was entirely cured, and now his face is as
smooth and rosy as though no sore had ever
been there to mar it. Mrs. l.. j. ROOT,

REVIEW OF WOOL MARKET.
Feeling On Part of Holders Phenom-
enally Strong.


Boston, April 27.-The American Wool
& Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow of
the wool market:
Transactions in the wool market were
already too greatly curtailed to much fur
Their be agected by the outbreak of war.
The sales of the last week foot up some
thing over half million pounds, which is
about the average since the war scare en-
tered its acute stage several weeks ago.
Conditions have improved since our last
report There have been practically no
manufacturers in the market The feel
ing on the part of holders is phenomen-
ally strong. Nothing but the condition OF
the money market seems likely to unsettle
prices in the near future.
The mills are buying only such wool as
they actually need to piece out with. The
sales of the week amount 10 $4,000 pounds
domestic and $4,000 pounds foreign, max
ing a total of $4,000 pounds. against
week and a total of 5.113000 for the cor
responding week of last year.
