FINE CHANCE TO MAKE MONEY
EIGHT ROBBERS BOOSTERS IN
CAMP IN EMERY COUNTY.
People May Take the Law In Their
Own Hands and Lynch Few Out
laws and Suspects.

Emery, April 21.-Last week two of
the Inland Cattle company's riders
wire out in the Sinbad country, which
is 55 miles southeast of Emery, and
about the same distance northwest of
Hawksville, when they discovered two
men on horseback rounding up a bunch
OF catti-.- The riders started for the
ruStlers, who Immediately put spurs to
their horses. The riders followed them
about four miles, firing several shots
1T them. but without effect. Just as
the riders crossed the brow OF a hill,
they found themselves confronted by
six rustlers, drawn up in line of battle,
who at once began firing at the riders.
1t was now the riders turn to run,
Which they did in good shape, for about
two miles, when they saw no one fol-
lowing, and stopped to breathe.
The riders then took it leisurely, and
brought the cattle in with them.
There are eight men camping in that
part of the country, and they are sup
posed 20 be outlaws. SO, if anyone wants
the rewards for their capture, offered
by the state, they can take some baling
rope, tie their hands and bring them
out. Most of the people in this part of
the country are rich, and, consequently,
do not care about making money 9th
ers are busy, and have no time to hunt
'tCughs.
1t is an outrage that these parties
car go from town to town unmolested,
rCbbing whom they please. One OF
these days the people viii take this
matter in their hands, and there Will
be wholesale shooting and lynching,
rot only of the known outlaws, but of
many suspects that have been arrested
several times, but have always escaped,
through some loophole of the law. The
people in this vicinity are getting very
tired, and are asking what benefit they
derive from the law, and what protec-
tiCn they receive for the taxes paid.

KILLED A BEAR.
Lively Experience With the Bruir
Family In Emery County.

Oak Springs, Emery County, Utah,
April 21.-On the 18th inst. three of the
Inland Cattle company's boys killed a
large she bear after quite a struggle
on both sides. The bear was killed with
no damage to the boys, excepting that
they were badly frightened.
Yesterday the boys went out for the
cubs and after an hours search tracked
them to their den, where two of the
men, John LeamaSter and Orrin Will
Jams, showed true grit, for both volun
teered to go into the den and get the
cubs. They entered the bears den
with only a pocket knife each and af-
ter a severe struggle, returned to light
with two cubs about the size of an
ordinary dog. The boys were pretty
badly handled by the cubs, but they
meant business and won. The cubs
then had their little hands and mouths
tied and carried to the Oak Springs
ranch of the company. There was a
small sized circus when the bears be-
gan their work on the horses, which
stampeded for the ranch. The cubs
seemed to enjoy their ride, for the fast
er the horses went the harder the cubs
clawed. The ride was a swift one, but
not enjoyed by the riders.

sHERMAN's SUCCESSOR.
Day Will Qualify and Prof. Moore
Will Take the Formers Place.

Washington. April 25.-It is not an
nounced when Secretary Shermans res
ignation would take effect, the secretary
having yielded his original idea of leav-
ing at once, and it is presumed that he
will remain until Judge Day qualities as
his successor. The selection of Mr. Moore
who is now professor of international law
at Columbia university, New York, to
succeed the latter, was warmly welcomed
by all of the state department employees
Appointed originally from Delaware in
the state department by Mr.. Bayard when
the latter was secretary, Mr.. Moore, by
sheer merit and ability worked his way
up to the place of second assistant sec
rotary, and in that capacity he served
under several administrations without
political consideration. He resigned to
accept the position at Columbia univer-
sity about three years ago, and it is be-
lieved his present appointment is only
temporary, owing to his indisposition to
permanently sever his connection with
Columbia. Mr.. Moore is an authority on
certain branches of international law, and
his selection will do much to strengthen
the state department in the present
emergency.

AMERICAN FORK NOTES.
Sheep Men Refuse 141a Cents-Fish-
ermen Caught.

american Fork, April pa number
Of our sheep owners are refusing 141s
cents for their wool.
Our people were sadly disappointed
Saturday evening because the soldiers
OF the Sixteenth came through here
so late in the night. Hundreds of peO-
pie were at the depot, and arrange
ments were made to fire a grand salute
as they passed by.
Game Commissioner Newell worked a
very slick game here yesterday to run
in several prominent citizens of this
place who were unlawfully spearing
bass out in a boat on the lake. When
the boys finally CAME ashore, Newell
pretended to be inspecting the electric
poles along the lake, until the boys
were within a few feet of him. He
then proceeded to inform the erring
ones that he was Fish Commissioner
Newell, and the fishers felt rather
sore to see their fish and tackle con-
fiscated, and to find themselves under
arrest.

PATRIOTIC CoALvILLE.
Old Glory Run Up Amid the Cheers
of Citizens.

Coalville, April 24.-Yesterday a
liberty pole was raised in front of the
lot owned by the city. "Old Glory"
was then run up to the mast top and
will remain there during the pending
war with Spain. AS it was hoisted and
began to fiutter in the breeze, rous-
ing cheer went UP from the 40 or so
citizens who stood near by and wit
messed the affair with great enthus-
iasm. Flags are floating from nearly
all the business houses and from a
great many residences. About sun
down the brass band appeared on the
street and as it struck up the Star
Spangled Banner" it was almost
drowned in the din of shouts by the
throngs of enthusiastic citizens on the
streets. The band paraded the princi-
pal streets discoursing national airs,
until after 10 o'clock, being greeted
with enthusiasm and cheers at every
turn.

that he was coming. She met him at
the depot here and they Immediately
went to living together as man and
wife. Finally, the woman's husband
became suspicious and followed his
wife here in July, 1897. He met with a
very cool reception from his erring
better half, and Immediately set about
obtaining evidence against the pair, in
which he was so successful that when
the woman was arraigned before d
church tribunal, she admitted her guilt
and was accordingly communicated.
In January, 1898, things became too
warm here for the guilty couple and
they moved to Pocatello, where they
were captured yesterday by the sheriff,
who has been at work on the case for
some time collecting the evidence. The
preliminary hearing will be had before
Justice w. n. Thomas tomorrow at 8
a. m. In the meantime the couple will
remain in Jail.
