Congress Will Not Retaliate Or
France For Her Hostility.

Washington, May 25.-While the pro-
vision in the sundry civil appropriation
bill for the proper representation of
this country at the Paris exposition,
which was inserted by the senate, has
not yet been taken up in a formal way
by the conference committee which is
considering the bill, the subject has
had more or less attention from the
members of the committee as individ-
uals.' The members realize that they
are acting largely in a diplomatic ca
pacity in dealing with this subject. and
accordingly are impressed with the
necessity of proceeding with caution.
Their attention has been called to both
sides of the question. and the fact has
developed that there is an element in
this country quite opposed to making
any appropriation at all. because of the

DEATH OF A PIONEER.
Biographical Sketch of Joseph Egber Who Passed Away
In Ogden.

a singular fact that Mr.. Egbert was
fond of relating was that when noun
tain fever afflicted the pioneer camp
just before the end of the journey was
reached, he and Orson Pratt were the
only two persons who escaped il. The
main company were compelled to lay
over, and these two, with few others,
came forward in advance, and entered
the valley on July %, 1S47. Mr.. Egbert
was driving Mr.. Pratt's light wagon,
the first vehicle that entered the Salt
Lake valley.
Mr.. Egbert was a pioneer in another

MURDERS AT KEY WEST.
Proposition to Place the City Under
Martial Law.

Key West, Fla, May 25.-James ].
Dorsey was found dead early this morn
ing, in yard within half block of the
Key West hotel. His face and head
were bruised beyond recognition. This
murder, together with assaults by ne
grces upon sailors last night has arous-
ed the people today. and there is a de-
maId that the city be put under martial
law. There are only two policemen, and
they are paid in city scrip, $50 a
month, which is discounted one-half.
These policemen have served notice on
the city authorities that they will re-
sign.
Dorsey was an old-time Florida ex-
pert machinist. He had received con-
siderable amount of money in wages
last night, and was undoubtedly muir
dered Cor his money.
William Crane, the-sailor of the Unit
ed States auxiliary gunboat Morrill,,
who was probably fatally injured last
night in front of a bar room, is still
alive. The man, who was intoxicated,
was set upon by a gang of negroes.
Several arrests have been made.

tablishing an industry that has since
become so prominent. He built the first
house in Mill Creek, and soon afterward
left it and came to Kaysville. where
he erected the first tWo-Story adobe
house in the settlement. For nearly 40
years, until 1889, his house was a. regu-
lar stopping place for travellers between
Ogden and Salt Lake, and thus he be-
came widely known and respected
throughout Utah.
For several months Mr.. Egbert has
resided in Ogden. He leaves d wife and
several young children, as well as a
number of sons and daughters by a
former wife.
The remains will be brought here for
burial. Funeral at p. m. tomorrow.

Frightful Accident to Vernal Youth
While Flowing

Vernal, May 22.-Joseph Campbell, jr.,
who resides with his father on the east
side of town, met with a painful and
serious accident last Friday while plow-
ing. An old sulky pillow had been res
directed from the rubbish pile, and
made to do temporary service. The
lever which is pushed forward or back
ward to guage the depth of the pillow,
was minus a catch to hold it in place,
and forgetting for the moment this de-
feet, the young man, after pushing the
lever forward, and while yet leaning
over, released his hold. The weight of
the pillow brought the lever back with
considerable force, which struck him
squarely on the ball of one eye. The
eye is in a frightful condition, being
swollen to an enormous size, and very
painful. 1t is feared that the sight is

Intricate Legal Problems TO Be Solved
By the Courts.
Pennington. May pa civil suit that
will probably raise some new legal
questions pertaining to water and
water rights was recently filed in the
Second district court by Peter Barton
of Kaysville, against Thomas F..
Foueche, jr., water agent of Haight's
Creek Irrigation district. The plaintiff
sues for perpetual right to five second
feet of water from Haight's creek, and
sets up in his complaint that in 1868
he appropriated the water, and since
that time has used it to I'LL a reservoir
on his premises.
1t seems that Mr.. Barton's claim is
what is known as a secondary right,
which is looked upon as inferior to
primary claim. The facts in the case
are said to be that years ago primary
Claimants used water only for grain ir-
rigation, and that only during the late
spring and early summer months, leav-
ing the water unappropriated during
the early spring. Plaintiff claims SUI
perior right by reason of having used
this unappropriated water. 1t is said
an effort will be made to compromise
the matter.
