Fatal Encounter Between Box Elder
County Farmers.
QUARRELED OVER HOGS
MAN NAMED PETERSON KILLED
BY JED ABBOT.
That Peterson Was Abusive
and Threatened Abbot With 3
Pitchforh-The Latter Secured a
Shotgun, But the Shooting, It Is
Claimed, Was Accidental.
(SpeciaI to The Herald.)

Bringham City, Sept 1S.-A most dis
tresing event happened just outside
the city this morning at O'Clock, the
result of which is that Jed Abbot, a
brother of Sheriff Abbot of Davis coun-
ty, and formerly a lieutenant in H
company, First infantry, N. G. u, is
in jail, while his neighbor, a man
named Peterson, lies cold in death.
According to the accounts given, Pc
tersons hogs have been bothering the
Abbot crops for some time and early
this morning Abbot sent his little
brother to drive them away. The lad
performed his task and had returned
home, when Peterson came over and
demanded of Abbot what he meant by
such actions. He was quite abusive,
according to the accounts, and called
Abbot several vile names. He had
pitchfork with him and threatened to
run the same through Jed, who there
upon went into the house and brought
out the shotgun and demanded that
Peterson leave the premises. The lat
ter renewed his abuse, but began to re-
tire, Jed following him, and when a
short distance from where the alterca-
ton first began, Peterson stopped to
pick up a rock. AT the same instant
the gun was discharged, the contents of
the barrel taking effect under the right
arm of Peterson, killing him instantly.
Abbot at once notified the neighbors
of what had been DONE placing the
body in their custody, and then came to
the city and delivered himself to the
sheriff, who went over and viewed the
scene.
1t is claimed in behalf of Abbot that
the shooting was not altogether inten-
tional. Abbot did not have the gun at
his shoulder when the shot was fired
and his friends express the belief that
the weapon was discharged as the re-
suit of an accident
The coroner has empaneled a jury
and an inquest will be held tomorrow
morning.
Abbot is popular in this vicinity and
where he has lived before he came
here. He was by no means a quarrel
som person, but, on the contrary, has
always borne a good reputation for
peace and quiet
Hundreds of people f1ocked to the
scene of the shooting today, and the
excitement ran high. Abbot seems to
be sincerely pitied for the event and
has the sympathy of all who have had
any knowledge of the circumstances
surrounding the event. His friends in
Davis county have been notified and
will no doubt come here on the first
train.

Raised No Opposition to Evacuation
of Porto Rico.

of Porto Rico.
San Juan de Porto Rico, Sept. 1S.-
The preparations for the embarkation
of the Spanish troops are reported to
be complete, although the American
commissioners have not been officially
advised to that effect.
Two ships of the Campania Trans
Atlantica are expected to arrive here
on the 26th inst. Five yesh.ls will be
required to transport all the luggage
and field artillery and equipment The
Porto Rican troops are to be landed
near CadiZ. The United States COM
missicnerg have agreed that such
troops as desire to remain here may do
so, and especially all the volunteers
and some of the regulars whose fam
lies and interests are here will remain.
If the necessary ships were here the
island could be evacuated and formal
ly in our possession within three
days.
The American commissioners are
highly gratified with the spirit shown
by the Spaniards. The unexpected has
happened Where it was expected that
opposition and delay would be encoun-
tered, none has been found. In good
faith the Spanish commissioners have
met the Americans and arranged with
them the terms of evacuation Our
commissioners expect to see the Ameri-
can flag hoisted and the Spanish flag
hauled down forever within three
weeks

PECULIAR P0lS0NS
Generated in the Human Body.
The RssuIt Of imperfect Digestion oi Food.

Every living thing. plant or animal,
contains within itself the germs OF
certain decay and death.
In the human body these germs OF
disease and death (called by scientists
Ptomaines), are usually the result OF
imperfect digestion of food; the result
or Indigestion or dyspepsia.
The stomach, from abuse, weakness.
does not promptly and thoroughly d.
gest the food. The result Is a heavy.
sodden mass which ferments (the first
process of decay poisoning the blood,
making it thin, weak and lacking in red
corpuscles: poisoning the brain caus-
ing headaches and pain in the eyes.
5ad digestion irritates the heart.
causing palpitation and finally bring
ing on disease of this very important
organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys,
causing Bright's disease and diabetes.
ana this is so because every organ,
every nerve depends upon the stomach
alone for nourishment and renewal.
ana weak digestion shows itself not
only IN loss of appetite and flesh, but
IN weak nerves and muddy complexion.
The great English scientist, Huxley,
SAID the best start in life is a sound
stomach. Weak stomachs fail to di-
gest food properly, because they lack
the proper quantity of digestive acids
Qactic and hydrochloric) and pepto-
genie products; the most sensible
remedy in all cases of Indigestion, is TO
take after each meal, one or two of
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, because
they supply in a pleasant, harmless
form all the elements that weak stom-
achS lack.
The regular use of Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets will cure every form of
stomach trouble except cancer of the
stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure
blood, strong nerves, a bright eye and
clear complexion, because all these re-
suit only from wholesome food well di-
gested.
Nearly all druggists sell Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets at SO cents full sized
