THE MAXWELL REWARD.
Public Meeting at Springville to Con-
slider the Matter.

Springville. Utah, May 31.-At a well
attended public meeting here tonight,
called TO consider the disposition of the
reward offered for the capture of the
bandit Maxwell, a committee was ap-
pointed to secure the names of the var
ious members of the posse, and also get
from each an expression as to the dis
position to be made of the share of
each man. The committee is composed
of N. D. Crandall, Hon. William NJ.
Roylance and H. T. Reynolds. 1t is
probable that every man will express
himself il favor of giving the reward
to Mr.. Allen.
J. A Moore, constable from Joseph
City, was here today, to see If the dead
bandit was Pete Ueilson, as had been
reported. He was of the opinion that
the man was not Nelson, there being
no resemblance whatever. A young
lady from Moab, a former resident of
this city, says she is sure the man is
Pearl Mccarthy, a well known char
acter of that section. She's not pisitive
enough, however, to make a statement
under oath.

MOSES rHArcHER,s ADDRESS.
Delivered With the Memorial Exerci
ses at Cnaville.

Coalville, May 31-At the memorial
services here yesterday. the large tab
ernacle was filed to its utmost capac-
ity, standing room being at a premium.
During the course of his eloquent adj
dress, Hon. Moses Thatcher said, re-
ferring to war: IF the present war of
the United States against Spain is not
justifable then it is the most coward
u war in the annals of history" But
he claimed that it was truly justifi-
able, and that cur nation was right in
prosecuting it. He paid a high tribute
to Admiral Dewey, now at the far-off
Philippines, and said that he dewey is
now held as the idol of this and many
other great nations.
The address was a very impressive
cne, and was highly appreciated by all
present. When the speaker was intro
duced, he was greeted with a hearty
round of applause, and, at the close,
the building fairly rang with applause.
A vote of thanks was rendered him,
which was responded to by the entire
assembly, which demonstrated the es-
TEEN in which the honorable gentleman
is held in Coalville.
During the afternoon baseball game
between two picked mines of the town,
married against single men, was played
in the City park, with the result that
the game a. dispute arose over a broken
bat, in which one man gave another
the lie, and received in return a slap
in the mouth Prompt interference of
bystanders prevented a might-have-
been call for the sheriff.
The brass band Serenaded Hon.
Moses Thatcher at the Coalville House
last evening, after which the hostess,
Mrs. Cuff, invited them in for refresh
ments, which were accepted and par
taken of with pleasure.
The events of the day closed with a
dance in the City park pavilion, where
the light fantastic was tripped until
near the wee sma' hours.

Part of the programme published
Monday for Coalville's memorial exer-
cises that day was inadvertently

Moses Thatcher, was unintentionally

Morgan Johns met death solitary and
alone sometime yesterday afternoon in
the Belle of Butte mine. He was work
ing on the 13O-foot level. AS he did
not show up at supper, his partner
went TO the mine and found him at the
air shaft, lying on his back, dead. One
nand was in the chute and the other at
mas breast, with matchbox grasped in

possible 70 attract attention. He must
have suffered fearful agony while dy-
ing and was doubtless conscious to the
