running around as if hunting for their

to the horse and cart, and hauled it
out of the water, and found two suits
of clothing, cooking utensils, bedding

Lou Lyon writes the Anaconda Stand
ard that his boat trip down the river
TO Lake Teslin was the widest exper-
fence that he ever had. The run
through the rapids was 80 miles, and
was made in an hour, with the boat
hitting rock every few minutes. At
times they were thrown from their
feet, and once they came near to losing
their boats. They finally ran out of
the rapids with their outfit all right,

The boats had to be dragged four miles
around one portage, and the work was
the hardest that they have had to do
since they left. The voyage across
Lake Teslin to the Nissulin river, 20
miles below. was made in a gale of
wind. and the two boats of the party
were separated from Thursday morn
ing till Sunday night. They sustained
no loss, however. and made the voyage
up the river to the head of navigation
without accident. There the party
separated, half going up the river to
the gold fields. and the rest returning
to the lakes. where they will camp
with the supplies till the return of the
prospectors. Lyon says that hunting
and fishing are good, and that the
health of the party is fine

WANTED TO RETAIN WRIOE,
VERSION OF THAT PROVO BISH.
OPRIC APPOINTMENT.
Presiding Elder Named For the Sec
ond Ward AS the Regular APP
pointee Failed of Confirmation.

Provo, Aug. 15.-Bishop Evan
Wride, who had been the bishop of the
ward for eight or ten years, resigned
some time ago and his resignation was
accepted by the presidency of the
stake. The same authority selected
Elder Bengt Johnson, jr., to fill the
vacancy thus occasioned. A number
of Bishop Wride's friends (394) signed
a petition to the stake presidency,
which petition, in effect asked that
Bishop Wride be retained as bishop of
the ward. The meeting last night was
for the purpose of presenting Elder
Johnson for the support or acceptance
of the people. He only received 80
votes, and, for the reason of this fail
ure on the part Of the people of the
ward to support the appointee of the
presidency, he was not placed in the
position of bishop. Elder S. P. Eggert-
son, jr., was appointed as presiding
elder of the ward until such a time as
the people can agree upon some one
who will receive their unanimous sup
port.

NEWS FROr1 OVER THE STATE
TOOELE'S WATER PROBLEM.
STREAM SIX FEET WIDE AND A
FOOT DEEP FOUND.
Salt Lake Man Conceived the Idea
and Worked 1t Out In Z Satisfac-
tory Manner-Company Formed.

Tooele, Aug. 15.-John P. Hill, an ar
chitect from Salt Lake City, has solved
Tooele's water problem and has laid
the foundation for the reclamation of
thousands of acres of our arid land A
few months ago Mr.. Hill made a thor
ough survey of the water shed en-
ana from whence part of our water sup
ply is obtained and came to the con-
conclusion that our people were getting
about one-ffth of the water the four
htths escaping on the bedrock. After
occupying several months in head work
Mr.. Hill concluded there was sufficient
water escaping to irrigate 10000 acres
OF land, properly handled, accordingly
Hill drove pipe we'll to bedrock
merely prospecting for the bedrock
and to ascertain the nature of the for
nation. Later he sank a shaft higher
up in the canyon, As feet deep, and
there dropped right into a stream Of
water described in Transcript as be-
ing six feet wide and one foot deep.
When within three or four feet of
the water the diggers could distinctly
and gravel. Mr.. Hill intends to begin
lower down and tunnel, making the
site of the present shaft the upper end
Of the tunnel
The intention is not to deprive the
farmers and people here of this water,
but TO form a company to utilize 1t
Tor manufacturing and agriculture.
There is already lbs horsepower devel-
oped which is sufficient to run an cleo
trio plant and Touring mill.
The people of this valley are asked
to take the stock and reap the bene-
fits, but if they refuse there is $4,000
ready to jump into the deal and develop
the possibilities. What Mr. Hill has
accomplished in Middle canyon can be
duplicated in Settlement canyon, for
this latter has greater water shed
than has the former
Our dry farms are yielding abund-
antly this year. John w. Tate threshed
j, 200 bushels of excellent wheat from
100 acres of land which, one year ago,
was in the same condition as when the
waters of the deluge subsidized
George F. Richards threshed 1000
bushels, C. r. Mcbride 1.400 bushels,
and Paul Droubay, it is estimated, will
thresh nearly 5000 bushels, besides
many of our farmers will get as much
as 1000 bushels, so from the small
farmer we feel that we have risen
to the dignity of bonanza" farmers,
so to speak. A careful estimate puts
the grain yield of Tooele valley at 100,-
900 bushels. Wheat is selling at 10
cents to 90 cents per buShel.

| The supreme court yesterday handed
ment of the lower court in the case of
Gustavus A. Duncan, appellant, VS..
Matthew T. Osborn and 1.-THE Geyser
Mining company. The plaintiff in his
complaint alleged that on Jan. 4, 1893.
he entered into an agreement in writ
ing with the defendant Osborn, by
which the latter sold and agreed to
convey to him by good and sufficient
deed, the Geyser, West Geyser, South

upon the payment of $4,000 in four in
Stallments, viz, $3.50 on Jan. I, 1898:
$3.50 on Jan. 8; $1,000 on Feb. 1, and
$50, 900 on Oct. l. 1888
The three first installments were paid
by plaintiff according TO contract, but
the payment of the last was postponed
by agreement of both parties until Jan.
I, 1894. The title of the property was
not in Osborn on Jan. 4, 1893, when the
agreement to sell and purchase was
made, nor has he since owned it, nor
has he ever rendered plaintiff a suffi-
Client deed of conveyance. The plain
tiff demanded judgment for the $1,000
paid. The district court gave Judgment
for the defendants. finding that the
plalntl1 ndQ no cause OIL dCtlOH-
The lower court held that as both
plaintiff and defendant had failed TO
comply with the agreement, either
party might have rescinded it. The
plaintiff subsequently did so, and his
right of action accrued on Jan. 2, 1894,
the day after the s65,OO0, by the sub
sequent agreement, was to have been
paid and the deeds delivered.
The $4,000 remained in Gisborn's
ii,
Jan. 2, 1894, and therefore the plaintiffs
action was barred by the statute of
limitations.
The supreme court agreed with the
district court in the above, and there
fore affirmed the judgment. The opin-
ion was written by Chief Justice Zane
and concurred in by Justices Bartch
and Miner.
This decision is another slice of good
luck for the Geyser= Marion, over which

AN IMPRESSIVE FUNERAL.
CHRISTOPHER LAYTON, SIR.
AT REST IN KAYSVILLE.
His Family Supposed to Be the Most
Numerous In the United States
Almost Fully Represented

Kaysville Aug. 1.-THE remains OF
the late Christopher Layton, ST., were
tenderly and peacefully laid away in
the Kaysville cemetery yesterday al
ternoon at the conclusion Of the most
impressive funeral service ever held in
the local meeting house. There was
very large attendance at the funeral.
People of Kaysville and Layton wards
and from nearly all of the surround
ing settlements and Salt Lake, Ogden
and outside places, were present.
The deceased was so widely known,
his fame as an organizer, as pioneer
and as the staunch friend of laboring
classes had spread so far that when the
news of his death came it carried sor-
row into hundreds of homes through
out Davis county, as well as in Arizona,
where President Layton was equally
as well known and as universally re-
Spected. When the hour for the fune-
raj services arrived the meeting house
was crowded with the posterity of the
deceased and with friends and &C
quaintances of the family. The center
of the room was reserved for the de-
immediate family is believed to be more
Utah, if not the United States.
The room in which the services were
held was beautifully decorated, flow
ers and ported plants being used in
profusion. The floral pieces, offerings
of relatives and friends, were most APP
propriate and artistic.
The speakers were President Joseph
F. Smith, Apostle John Henry Smith
and Elder Seymour B. Young of Salt
Lake, Elders Farr and Richard Doug
las of Ogden, William Rydalch of Too
ele, President John w. Hess of Farm
ington and Bishop Peter Barton Of
KaySville.
No man could have been spoken of
in terms of greater praise than was
the deceased. The speakers were all
men who had known of his life work,
his devotion to principle under trying
and his indoIhitable en-
ergy and keen foresight exhibited when
he was called upon to subdue the wilds
of nature and make habitations for
men where once had been a wilderness.
They each paid tribute to his worth.
The cortege which followed the bier
to the cemetery was lengthy one,
and many tears were shed as the earth
closed above the resting place of one
whose labors of life had been SO nobly
performed.
Mrs. Elizabeth Layton, wife of the
deceased, was in Arizona when her
husband died, and she Immediately
started for Utah, reaching here in time
for the funeral. She was accompanied |

ANOTHER BURGLARY,
D. SPITZ MOURNS THE LOSS OF
SEVENTY-FIVE DOLLARS.
The Money Was Taken From His
Room Early Yesterday Morning
a Gang of Burglars Apparently
Operating Here.

There is a gang of burglars operat-
ing in town and people Will do well to
see that their doors and windows are
locked.
One of the most daring burglaries in
years was committed some time be-
tween u and o'clock yesterday morn
ing when the home of David Spitz at
1852 South West Temple street was en-
tered and SIS in cash, a large number
of checks and a gold watch was stolen
without the slightest clue being left
of the perpetrators. What is more, the
money was taken from the pockets of
the owners clothes lying on a chair
in front of the bed in which he slept
David Spitz is a collector for the
Salt Lake Ice company. Saturday he
collected considerable money which he
carried about in his pockets over Sun
day. In the afternoon he went out TO
the Lagoon and did not return until
about midnight. When he got to his
room he took the money out of his
Sunday clothes and put it into the
pockets of his working suit, which he
placed on a chair in front of the bed
in which he and his brother slept
When he got up in the morning he
found his clothes scattered around the
kitchen floor and the pockets turned in
side out. 1t didn't take him long to
realize that they had been ransacked
of all valuables and he hastily notified
the police of the theft.
The thief had secured entrance by
unfastening a screen in the kitchen
window. In order to reach Mr.. Spitz'
sleeping apartment it was necessary
to pass through two doors, but this the
thief did so noiselessly that none knew
of his presence. 1t is thought that he
watched Spitz' actions in changing the
money to his working suit through d
window, as the blind was not down. At
ter waiting until the occupant was in
dreamland the culprit made his debut.
Some of the checks which were made
payable to the Salt Lake Ice company,
were found scattered along the side
walk, but absolutely no trace of the
burglar has been found. So far the po-
lice have been unable to get a descrip-
ton of any of the gang which is oper-
ating in the city and therefore are
working at a disadvantage. All sus-
picious characters are being taken in
and the department is determined to
rid the city of this undesirable gentry.
