Mr.. w. "A. Nelden returned from
Denver yesterday and brought news
to the mining congress committee that
stirred them up considerably. The
committee had. wired Mrs. Nelden to
present the Federation of Women's
clubs at Denver an invitation to attend
the congress and be the guests of the
committee at the social affairs which
will be provided for the congress. Mr.
Nelden says that this invitation, with
the one already received to attend the
Mothers congress, caused considerable
enthusiasm, resulting in a, movement
to charter a special train which it is
thought will. bring in the neighborhood
of 300 ladies to Salt Lake to stay for a
week o. tec days.
The Salt Lake ladies at the Fedora
ton have already begun preparations
for the reception and entertainment of
the crowd. One of the receptions will
be an Informal affair at the lake AID
another. more formal in its nature, will
be given by the associated women's
clubs OF the city.

tions were ordered, the companies be-
gan an effort to recruit TO the stand
ard, expecting that some effort would
be made to recognize them, when loi
! call is made for another battery and
men who have no connection with the
guard are selected jas officers to the eX-
clusion of the members of the guard,
who have worked diligently and faith
! fully to preserve it.
1t is also claimed that the infantry is
hampered by having no one to report
| to-; no one to send papers to for ap-
prevail; that the affairs are run loosely
and carelessly and therefore it is best
to disband.
Another matter which concerns the
men and officers is this. Since the vol
unteers have gone they have been de-
rided as Stay-at-h homes, wen who could
not go or would not;a have been called
tin soldiers and 'fother ignominious
names until their position has become
such they can stand it no longer They
assert that because of their fidelity to
the state and the organization to which
| they belong they have suffered this and
if Utah cannot protect those who would
protect her, it is best that no organi-
cations exist here.
Thursday night has been set for the
return of all equipments and then the
boys hope to have their discharges
will be forwarded today ard action will
doubtless be had at once. 1t is not be-
lieved the requests will be denied
Companies A, 3 ard d were the Oldest
ir the National Guard They have ex-
| listed ever since the guard was formed
and have seen bright days and cloudy
days. With small appropriations they
kept going at first on nothing but en-
thusiasm. When larger ones began TO
be made they felt encouraged and. up
to the time when the first call for vol
unteers was made were in good condi-
ton
Since that time, however, through al
legged neglect, they have suffered until
in their judgment, patience has ceased
to be virtue and they now wish TO
disband and each man pursue the trend
of action marked out by himself.
A company was commanded by Cap
tain A. a. Smith, who has been a mem
Der of the company since it was organ
lied. Lieutenants Reid and Smelzer
were the other officers r company
was commanded by Captain Fl. NJ. H.
Lund, who was the head of the organi-
cation when it was known as the Nor
den Military company.
B company was commanded by Cap
tain John w. Afford, a very compe-
tent young officer. r. B. Carter and
5. W. Darle were the lieutenants. This
practically ends the National Guard
of Utah. There is the remnant of a
company at Manti and part of a COM
pany at BoUntiful, neither of which
are reported in very good condition.
The next legislature will not have to
worry great deal over an appropria-
ton for the guard, as did the last
when several interested themselves
and made hard fight for its support
and reimbursement.

Infantry Decides 1t Wants No More
Service.
NOT ONE DISSENTING VOTE
THE REASONS ASSIGNED ARE
NEGLECT BY SUPERIORS.
Wedgwood and Recruits Will Leave
Tomorrow For San Francisco--Re-
cruiting For the Third Battery
Applicants For Commissions Ex-
amined Yesterday-Other News.

Discouraged. disheartened, disap-
pointed and disgruntled, the three in
fantry companies of the National Guard
night voted to disband and asked their
officers to request the governor that
they be given their discharges. The
officers at the same time agree to send
| in their designations.
There was not a single dissenting
voice against the action. 1t was unit,
! and when the vote was announced the
men cheered the result. They also
cheered their officers and themselves
and then some Wag proposed three
cheers for what they had done and
what they would have done had they
been given a chance and the boys re-
sponded vigorously.
The causes for this action, alleged
by officers and men, are multifarious in
their nature They claim they have not
| been we'll treated and that they are
placed in a false light before their
friends, which has caused their posi-
lions to become unbearable and they
will stand it no longer.
When the first call for volunteers
came, it was intimated to them that
the guard would have the first chance.

Immediately followed and in lieu Of
guardsmen and their officers going to
the front, but one artillery officer was
honored and he was reduced two grades
in rank. Recruits were sought, not
from the ranks of the guard, but from
the outside communities, where no
citizen soldiers were located and men
who did not know anything about mill
tary matters were given positions as
on-commissioned officers while the few
who did enlist from the ranks of the
guard were lined up as privates. The
infantry officers called on the enlisted
strength of the companies to preserve
their integrity as organizations and
agreed to stand by them until call
was made for infantry. Then they were
given positions in the artillery and the
companies left without officers, the bat
talon without a major and the regi-
ment without a colonel. 1t is claimed
that serious talk about disbanding so
the men could enlist if they wanted to

Off For San Franciscn-

Lieutenant Wedgwood, with 1O4 re-
cruits for the batteries now in the
field, will leave for San Francisco at
1890 tomorrow, via the Rio Grande
Western.
Owing to the fact that several who
have been sent to the doctor for ex-
animation have failed to return with
their papers, the lieutenant is still
short one man, although several more
than the required number have passed
the examination. 1t is his intention to
give one of these men the preference
tomorrow, if either is on hand, but If
none of them show up by II o'clock,
some desirable volunteer viii be taken
from others who appear.
Those who passed and were sworn in
yesterday were George Williams, Gus
Carlson, William G. Knauss and Max
Madison. The uniforms of the men
are awaiting them in San Francisco.

A Complicated Deal.

The case of E. K Bloch & Co.
against Theresa Werner and C. c..
Merritt was on trial yesterday before
Judge Cherry, with Messrs. krebs &
Hoppaugh for the plaintiff and Judge
McDoWall for the defendants.
1t appeared that Bloch & Co. OBJ
tanned a judgment against Merritt for
$23o. IS and issued an execution against
the firm of T. Werner & Co., which
is composed of Mrs. Theresa Werner
and Mrs Christine Harris Merritt.
wife of C. c. Merritt. Werner & Co.
claimed that they had nothing belong
ing to G. c. Merritt. Then Bloch sued
Mr.. Werner, his wife and Mrs. Mer-
rift, and obtained. a Judgment in a
Justices court against all three. and
the plaintiff seized the stock of liquors
in the Walker House bar, supposing
the same to be the property of Mer-
rift.
This appeal was then taken to the
district court, and the plaintiff con-
tends that even if the defendants
statement is substant.ated, that Mer
rift did not own the property seized;
he is manager Tor his mother-in-law
and wife, VINO own the Cliff House and
Walker House bars, respectively, and
he must have had some money or
property coming TO him.
The trial was proceeding when court
adjourned until today.

False Pretenses Charged.

P. S. Williamson, a tailor in the Cen

the charge of obtaining SO from D. M.
Burt by false pretenses. The allega-
ton is that Burt gave the tailor SO to
get certain cloth, which was repre-
scented to be in the express office, but
which, according to the complaint, was
not there and really had no existence,
except in the mind of Williamson. He
was arraigned before Justice Nielsen,
pleaded not guilty and was allowed to
go on his own recognizance until p.
m. today, when he is to appear for
trial He will be defended by Judge
