THE DEMURRER ovERRULED.
Attorney Jennings of Richfield Will
Have to Answer.

Richfield, Aug. 15.-This evening
Judge Rolapp of Ogden came to this
city and at Ais o'clock the district
court was opened The only case that
was to come before the judge was the
demurrer in the case of the state VS.. j.
B. Jennings, on the charge of perjury.
The case grew out of an investiga-
ton of 4. grand jury which was in SEES
sion last May. In their report they
Jennings for perjury.
The defense had the opening argu-
ments. in which Attorney V. Ropp of
this city denied all the counts and ar
gued before the court until o'clock,
when the court adjourned until 1880.
The prosecution then took the floor and
spoke at quite a length, when the de-
Tense gave a short rebuttal.
At about 8 o'clock this evening the
judge gave his decision, in which he
denied the demurrer in all the counts.
He incidentally mentioned, however,
that the third count might be stricken
from the records when the day of trial
came, on the grounds of not having
anything to do with the case. This
count charges J. B. Jennings with
swearing that he was not in Henderson
county, Texas, in 1881, indicted under
the name of John w. Jennings, and AT
that time and place was not John W.
Jennings, whereas in truth and fact he
was indicted in Henderson county,
Texas, in 1881, under the name of John
w Jennings, and that his true name
was at that time and place John w.
Jennings.
The defendant waited until the day
of trial to enter his plea, which date
was set for Sept. 10, at 10 a. m.
A. j. Weber, attorney for the prose-
cution, was the only outside attorney.
Judge Rolapp will leave on tomor-
rows train for his home in Ogden
Court adjourned to Sept. 10.

Succumbed to An Operation For Ap-

THE BASIC COMPANY.
This Idaho Concern Has One Dredge
Already COMPLETED.


Boise Statesman: Word was re-
ceived here last evening that work had
been completed upon the Basic COM
pany's ditch and f1ume in Grimes
creek, and the men employed in its
construction for the past four months
were discharged. The ditch is eight
and one-half miles long, will carry 1900
inches of water and will produce about
800 horse power, which is to be utilized
in operating dredges in the Basin
The Placerville dredge is entirely
finished and ready, to run as soon as
power can be furnished for it. The
Centerville dredges is on the stocks,
framed and rapidly, assuming the shape
of a boat So far as dimensions are
concerned, it will be duplicate of the
first dredge built by the company, but
as the ground in the vicinity of Cen
terville, where it will operate, is not
so deep as at Placerville, its reach will
be a few feet less.
The Basic company expects to land
the last of it's electric machinery at
the power house before the end of Aug
ust, unless unusual difficulties are en-
countered in the transportation of the
immense generator bed piece, which
left Boise about a week age. That
great casting is on the road, slowly
working its way to the basin in charge
of an experienced trigger" Ga man who
makes it his business to move heavy
machinery of all kinds), and who was
brought from the east for that especial
purpose. 1t will undoubtedly arrive at
its destination in due course of time

JUDGE FOOTE WAS ACQUITTED
FINALE IN THE SALT CREEK
CANYON TRAGEDY.
Accidental Shooting While Acting In
Self-defense Was the Plan of the
Defendants Counsel.

Nephi, Aug 1.-THE preliminary ex-
animation in the case of the state VS.
Charles Foote, growing out of the
! shooting of Richard Jenkins up Salt
! Creek canyon on the 18th Of last month,
was called in Precinct Justice Haynes
court yesterday morning at 1880. Coun
| ty Attorney Pike appeared for the peo-
pie and d. D. HoutZ of Provo and w. A.
c. Bryan of this city were on hand to
defend. DEFENDANTS attorneys at once
presented an affidavit asking for
change of venue. The justice showed a
decided senSitiveneSS at this proceed
ing. and expressed himself quite freely
to the attorneys, claiming the applica-
ton was a reflection upon his integrity
and inspired by personal animus of one
of the attorneys This was stoutly de-
MED. The application was readily
granted. however, and the case trans
ferred to City Justice Stoutt's court,
and the hearing began before that off,
cial at o'clock. The defense outlined
was upon the theory of accidental
shooting while acting in self-defense.
The afternoon was consumed in taking
testimony, the shooting having been
admitted, the contention was mainly as
to how the shooting occurred, and
where the bullet entered the body. The
wounded man claims the ball entered
the back near the spine and come out
in front. The two physicians who at
tended the wounded man and made a
thorough examination, also hold that
opinion while the defendant and two
eyewitnesses testified that Foote and
Jenkins were facing each other. not
more than five feet apart, at the time
the gun was discharged. the former
armed with rifle and the latter with
a pitchfork both in a threatening at
titude, and consequently the shot must
have entered from in front. A large
number of witnesses were examined,
and the proceedings created a wide in
terest, owing to the prominence of the
parties, both being pioneer residents of
this place, and having many relatives
and friends.
The arguments of counsel closed at 8
o'clock, and the justice rendered his
decision. finding defendant not guilty.
Judge Foote is recognized by all who
know him as man who has the cour-
age of his convictions, and will en-
deavor to perform his duty as he sees
it, regardless of consequences. On the
other hand, Jenkins had so long held
sway over the canyon lands, and sue
cessfully stood off all corners, that the
climax that resulted in the shooting
was not so much Of a surprise when it
occurred.
