Dewey Not Heard from
Special Dispatch to The SlN.

Special Dispatch to The SIN.
! WASHINGTON, May 5.-Yesterday's
dispatch from Hong Kong announcing
the arrival OF the McCulIocli is now u.
terly discredited.
1t is calculated that it was not possible
for the cutter to have gotten there from
Manila, and the theory is advanced as
very probable that the McCuloch was
not in condition at the end OF the
naval battle to put to sea with dis
patches.
She is too light craft to have escaped
injury if in the engagement and it is
hardly probable that she was held in re-.
serve by Commodore Dewey, since she
had been equipped with heavy arma-
ment for her size and was capable of
doing good service.
The chances are that she was in the
thick of the fight and did not escape in
jury. Upon this theory it is calculated
that there should be no surprise if II
communication from Commodore Dewey
is delayed until either the cable is re-
paired ol communication may be had
through some foreign vessel from the
Philippines to Hong Kong.
Many reports are in circulation about
the report having been received and
withheld from the public, or to the effect
that uro.licial information has come by
means Of tramp steamers to Hong Kong.
In contradiction to these rumors, there
are not only the apparently frank state
nIens OF the highest officials, including
Seer tary Long, made in response to
newspapers inquiries, but also the as.
surances given to members OF the Foreign
Relations, the Naval, and the Appropria-
tions Committee OF both houses of Con-
gress, and to other Senators and members
who lave made inquiries of the Presi-
dent and members Of the Cabinet.

The stock transactions OF Mr.. Cooper.
Mr.. Morris also said that lie had
cashed similar checks for as large
amounts for Mr.. Boggs and that he had
no idea OF 4 defalcatiOn until one Of
Cooper's checks were presented to the
looted bank and payment refused.
lie then Identified all checks signed
by Cooper honored as cash by his bank
as numbering 10 and additional ones
on which payment had been refused.
These checks ranged in date, he said,
from May s, 1896, to December %, 1896.
Mr.. Bird objected to tie admission of
the letters as testimony for the reason
that the name OF Mr.. Cooper was not on
them at the time they left the Phiadel-
phia bank.
Mr.. Eandegrit asked the Court to
leave the letters go to the jury for what
they were worth.
Judge Bradford decided to admit the
letters if the name of f. L. Cooper was
erased or concealed by a piece OF paper.
Senator Gray bjected to what he
termed "doctored'' letter and thought
it was not admissible as evidence.
In reply to question by Judge Brad
ford Mr.. Morris stated that he had
written Cooper's name on the letters
after June l, 1897.
The court then overruled the objection
of counsel for the defense and admitted
the letters with the understanding that
the names were to be concealed. +
Mr.. Bird asked the court to hold one
session, but Judge Bradford decided on
Two sessions day and placed adjourn
ncnt OF the afternoon session at

Ezekiel Cooper, paying teller Of the
Farmers Bank, was the last witness, and
he stated that he had received checks
payable by the First National Bank of
Dnver, from the Philadelphia Bank as
follows:
June 3, 1896, 81, 900; June "A, 1896,
81 800; July /, 1896, 81 600; July %, 1896,
$1,000; July %, 1896, 81, 800. August s,
1896, $500; October II, 1896, $1,000;
November q, 1896. $1,000; December Is,
1896 81, 800; December %, 1896, $1,000.
Exceptions were filed to the checks of
June = for 81 600 and July 20 for l,5nO,
as the check stubs produced did not show
these amounts or dates and counsel for
the defence objected to secondary evil
dence.
The court, however, decided that the
checks were admissible and the objection
of the defendants S counse! followed
Before the adjournment OF court until
this morning at 1915 O'clock, Mf.
Nandegrift gave notice of his intention
to prove that Colonel Cooper had looted
the bank to the extent OF 5000, and
would show the same by specific ac-
counts.

TWO SUPREME COURT OPINIONS
LOWER COURT AFFIRMED IN
RAHT VS.. SEWER MINING CO.
And Reversed In the Matter of the
Estate of Nathan Sears, De,es sed-
Miss Emery's Guardianship

The supreme court yesterday handed
down an opinion in the case of w. l..
Raht, appellant, VS.. the Sewer Mining
& Milling company and Charles Lam
mersdorf. in which the findings and
decree of the district court are at
firmed.
Thu action was brought in September,
1897, TO set aside and annul a sale IN
der an assessment on 15,421 shares of
the capital stock of the Sewer Mining
& Milling company, and to annul the is
Suance and transfer Cf said Snares to
the defendant Lammersdorf. on the
ground that the assessment under
which the stock was sold was fraudu-
lent and void. The answer, after de-
nying the allegations of the complaint,
alleges that the plaintiffs cause is
barred by his own laches, and by the
statute of limitations.
The lower court found the issues for
the defendant, holding that the plain
tiff, who was a director of the company.
had accuiesced in the assessment, and
then let his stock be sold as delinquent,
and only made a complaint when it
was demonstrated that tho mine was
valuable
The supreme court opinion, which
was written by Justice Miner and con-
CURED in by Chief Justice Zane and
Justice Bartch, upheld the lower court.

P. S. Martin, one Of the veteran min
ing operators of Old Star mining dis
trict, in Beaver county, is in the city on
one of his semi-2nnual visits.
Mr.. Martin looks for renewed activ-
ity in the camps of Beaver county this
coming year, as the extension of the
railroad from Milford south through
Star district is having the effect of at
tracing more than usual attention to
this and surrounding camps, while the
fact that there are large deposits OF
cyaniding gold ore exposed IN several
OF the mines of this district is leading
to a more extended investigation into
the possibilities of this richly mineral
lied section.
In fact, according to Mr.. Martin, the
drift that way has already set in, as a
deal has just been consummated
whereby Judge J. W. Burton OF TINS
city has secured a bond and option on
the old Nicksburg mine in Star district
owned by the latham brothers OF New
York, the option being for one year,
while the option price runs well up INTO
the thousands.
In this property, Mr.. Martin states,
splendid bodies of ore are exposed,
which, it is believed, Will yield readily
TO the cyanide process OF reduction, the
mineral carrying gold values running
as high as s11 to the ton, and 1t is
stated that Judge Burton Will begin
work at once in the operation OF the
property, giving employment to a force
of six or eight men, the probability be-
ing that in the spring a mill for the
treatment of the ore will embellish the
mine, which is but a mile or so from
the railroad now building through that
locality in the direction of Statellne
and Phoebe.
Mr. Martin has several valuable
properties in Star district, and while he
has not been working any OF them
this summer, he states that it is his
intention within short time TO resume

Price Utah, Oct. 26.-Captain Parker
of the Seventh cavalry and until re-
Gently officer in command at Fort Du-
chesne, looks with great favor upon
the proposition of the residents OF the
ashley valley to send in supplies over
the Union Pacific 70 Rawlins, Wyo.,
aud thence haul by wagon down the
Ashley valley to the towns and settle
ments and 10 the fort and lndlan
agencies. In discussing the matter
with your representative the captain
said he had made a number or forced
marches for several days along the
route mentioned and had often won
dered that the government had not en-
couraged the proposition now on IooI
by the people at Vernal. Not long ago,
some time. however, before the Union
Pacific went into the hands OF a re-
ceiver, a grade was built down from
Granger with the idea of laying ralls
q, greater portion OF the way II not INTO
Vernal. The panic and the recelVershlp
followed and the company has never
been in shape to complete the project.
The grade is in good shape all the
way for 80 miles and could be USED LOT
wagons the entire distance. y ferry
boat is now operated at the Green river
and by bridging it most desirable
outlet could be secured. A few thous-
and dollars would make 1t all right Ior
wagons and give substantial struc-
ture that would meet all requirements
for years to come. One months freight
receipts now consigned via Price would
put the route in splendid shape and
ready for business.
The worst part of the present road
from Price is at Soldier canyon, Where
the ground falls away from the pre-
cipitous hills. and when these slides &C
cur the wagon road is taken along. A
six-mule, team that came in few days
ago from the fort for the paymaster,
went over the elnbanKInent ana there

on this trip. A few days previous an
Indian freighter went over the bank at
another point and lost everything QUO
his life and ponies. The wagon and a
lot of valuable merchandise was COM
plete loss.
Summing it all UP, if the Verna1 peo-
pie put their deal through ana chanse
the course of the vast traffic that has
made Price the third station in the
matter of freight handled on the line
of the Rio Grande Western, 1t can De
laid at the doors of the road supervisors,
VINO seem to have little if any interest
in the upbuilding of the county. There
are those who argue that the Rio
Grande Western will never allow the
scheme to go through, but by the time
they act the business may be entirety
diverted.

HINES CHARGED WITH CRUELTY
TRIAL OF A DIVORCE CASE AT

Mrs. Hines Testified Concerning the
Relations Between HERSELF and
Mr. Hines-Interest In the Case.
(srecial to The Herald.l

Provo, Oct. 26.-Today before Judge
Dusenberry was began the divorce case
of Kitty A. Hines VS.. r. S. Hines. This
case is one that has caused much COM
ment and-speculation in Provo because
of the prominence of both parties in
social circles. Mrs. Hines first began
suit against her husband in 1896, but
withdrew the case, only to begin an
other. the present suit, in May of 1898.
Plaintiff alleges cruel treatment and
failure TO properly provide for her and
their children, and states that he is
worth the sum of 100000. She prayS
for an absolute divorce and alimony of
$3.50 per month. Defendant alleges that
he is worth no more than S35, 900: ac-
knowledges that there has been trouble
between them, and demands that plain
tins case be dismissed, and that the
bonds of matrimony be dissolved, Civ
ing defendant custody of their chill
dren on the grounds that plaintiffs
charges against him of being a habit
ual drunkard and a cruel husband
caused him great humiliation and men
tai distress; that he was subject TO
epileptic fits. and often when suffering
from such plaintiff treated him in an
inhuman manner.
Mrs. Hines was the first witness
called. She was examined mainly upon
the relations and the many differences
which have at various times arisen be-
tween her and Mr.. Hines. Miss Annie
Leathin testified that while she was
boarding with the parties to the suit
in 1896 Mr.. Hines on one occasion re-
marked to her: You had better get
another boarding place, for my family
is not fit associates for you. Kitty
(his wife) has been the curse of my
life"
Miss Zoe Daniels testified to his pro-
family, inhuman treatment of his fam
lily, and his habit of drinking. Other
witnesses were examined, their stories
being, in substance, the same 4
