D1pHrHERIA GAINING GROUND.
New Gases and Another Death at
Mt. Pleasant.

Mt. Pleasant, July 23.-The diphthe-
ria is slowly gaining ground Two new
cases and another death was yester-
DAYS record. The great increase in
the number of cases, however, is not
anticipated before Sunday or Monday,
as sufficient time has not yet elapsed
to allow of the development or the
disease by those who were so untortu-
nate as to have been exposed at the
time of the public funeral of the little
child whose death was due TO the raw
ages of the disease. Physicians assert
that it is a very malignant form OF
diphtheria, and that the continued hot
and sultry weather will greatly aggra-
vate it. The police and health officials
have established a rigid system of
quarantine around the residences
where the sickness has been located,
and congregations of citizens at which
children are liable to be present have
been suspended for the time being.
The person succumbing to the attack
noted above is Mrs. Severen Swensen.
II was her S-months-old baby that was
the first victim, and who died last Fiji
day, week ago. Mrs. Swensen was
attacked before the child, but as she
was subject to periods of sickness,
caused by asthma, and as this attack
was very similar to those of asthma,
but very little attention was given to
it until the disease assumed form in
which successful combating by physi-
clans was an impossibility. and death
resulted Deceased was a native of

to Severen Swenson, and was the
mother of one child. Mr.. Swenson de-
parted from here last April for Nor

Saints. This phase of the case makes
1T doubly sad, as it Will be a terrible

The two new cases are a small child

connection with the diphtheria, and
are in a bad condition. Two of the
others reported, Mrs. Bertha Brother

ceased Mrs. Swenson, is in a very pre-

Twenty-one Acres of Grain Belonging
to Mr.. Barnes Consumed-A Dam
age Suit Will Be the Outcome.

Kaysville, July 23.-It is learned to-
day that the fire in John G. NJ. Barnes
wheat field north of Layton yesterday
destroyed q acres of standing grain
instead of ten acres as reported. This

Western train had just gone by and it
is supposed to have started the blaze.
The fire was about two miles north

the heavens for a time, and 1T was
feared that stacks were burning until
this ewing when word came that four
acres of standing grain was consumed,
in all perhaps $50 bushels.

THOMAS GETS TEN YEARS.
Another Sentence Imposed at Kanab
German Given a Year.

Kanab. July 23.-After a long and
able argument on the motion for new
trial of the homicide case had been
fully and we'll considered, the court
oVerruled the motion. Several grounds
were set up, among them misconduct
of the jury in various ways in discuss
ing the character and reputation of the
defendant, when the same was not re-
ferred TO in the evidence. arguing
against the verdict of manslaughter on
the assertion by members Of the jury
who are known high in ecclesiastical
circles and influential. that punishment
for that offense would mean impriSon-
ment in the county Jail and an expense
on Kane county. and other grounds.
The affidavits, however, were INSULT
cient and could not be considered by
the court. During the arguments coun-
sci charged that he had learned other
facts than these set up, and was as
sured in confidence that the same were
true, but for fear of social ostracism
and ecclesiastical censure, his inform
ant dared not swear to the same in
affidavit form. On reviewing the evil
dence in order to pass upon the grounds
set up of insufficiency of the evidence
to support the verdict, the court said
that he felt that he erred at the time
he instructed a first degree. because
for that degree. He said also that his
personal opinion was that their wit
ness, Ezra Stevens, had perjured him
self on many material points; and that
the other eye witness, a Mexican, spoke
the truth. and while he felt that de-
PENDANT could have avoided the kill
ing, and was, therefore. censurable,
yet the judge was in doubt as to
whether or not Thomas was not justi-
fed He was fortified in his own home

was carrying a gun. and with his bo-
som friend, Stevens. forced their way
in and the tragedy occurred. How
ever, there was evidence on record to
support the verdict, if Stevens testi-
mony was believed by the jury. The
court. therefore, did not feel justified in
setting the verdict aside. The mini
mum sentence of ten years was i'm
posed. The second jury found German
guilty, and he was sentenced to one
year. The judge and lawyers leave for

VERNAL CASES ENDED.
Suit of Lottie Higley Against Will
liam Preece For Live Stock.


Vernal, July 2O.-At yesterday morn
ing's session of the district court the
case of Kelly VS.. Allen went to the
jury, which returned a verdict for the
plaintiff. The balance of the day was
consumed in securing jury and TAX
ing evidence in the case of Lottie
Highly vs.. William Preece ct al. This
case is an outgrowth of the civil case
of Johnson VS.. Chadwick which had
occupied so much time in the court
here at former terms. 1t will be re-
membered that the latter case was
decided for the plaintiff, and attach
ments followed, and a large band of
horses and mules and considerable
ranch property was sold by Sheriff
Preece to satisfy the judgment.
The plaintiff in the present case is
the daughter of Mrs. Asneath Chad
wick, the defendant in the former case,
and she now sets forth that seven of
the horses sold by the sheriff were her
private property, given to her by her
father before his death a few years
the sale of the horses was but a small
part of their actual value. She now
asks for judgment against the sheriff
in the sum of $500.

the closing arguments and turn the
case over TO the jury. which occurred
at 10 o'clock. After remaining out un-
til midnight a verdict was returned

fering with the plaintiff in the possess
sion of his property, which was granted

Bound For Kotzebue Sound.

Captain Hank Smith, an old Com
stocker, who formerly held down posi-
tions as superintendent of the Bullion
Beck and Centennial-Eureka mines at
Eureka, and who has host of friends
and acquaintanceS in this intermount-
ain country, writes to friend in this
city under date of June 10 that he is
off st. Lawrence island in Boring sea
on the good ship Jane Falkenburg,
bound for KotZebue Sound in quest of
gold.
C. d. Lane of the great Utica mine
of California, with a party, is on the
same vessel and it is fair to presume
that the captain has plenty of good
company and that the expedition bids
fair to be successful one, as the es-
sentia elements-money, brains and ex-
perience-are embraced in the makeup
of the treasure seekers.

AT THE HILLSIDE.
Good Progress Being Made In the
Development of This Propertv.

development OF This Property
Excellent progress is being made in
the development of the Hillside group
of claims al Mercur adjoining the
great Mercur mine on the southeast
and Hon. Dick Macintosh, one of the
ofncers OF the company, who has just
returned from an inspection of this
promising property, expresses himself
as being well pleased with the showing
so far made, and he is confident that
with depth the mammoth ore zones of
the Mercur mine will be disclosed with
in the environments of the Hillside
ground.
Since this property was last men
toned in these columns the Hillside
company has installed a hoist at the
top of the double compartment shaft
and is now making good Roadway in
sinking with three shifts, the work
being in charge of Foreman ]. F.
Bradley.
The equipment of the hoist embraces
50-horse power boiler and a 25-horse
power engine. besides which a steam
pump has been put in place with which
to handle the water which has already
been encountered, and it is now lift
ing about 1.500 gallons daily. and. al
though the company is now deriving
its water supply from the system of
the Gold Belt Water company, it ex-
poets to utilize the water from the
workings of the mine in the operation
of the hoist in the near future.
The shaft has now reached a depth
of 100 feet, the bottom being in the
lime that overhangs the shale which
is the Gaping of the mineral belt of
that locality. but it is not expected by
the management that ore will be I'M
covered in any quantity until a depth
of at least $50 feet has been attained
Developments in various portions of
the Mercur ground would go to prove
the existence of large bodies of good
milling ore in the Hillside property. it
being merely a. question of depth be-
fore the mineral will be uncovered, but
as the company backing the enterprise
is a strong one and in its personnel
embraces mining men of experience, It
is safe to predict that in time this will
rank as one of the heavy producers
and regular dividend payers of this
wonredful gold camp.
