WILL TAKE CHANCES
R. G. ". Anxious TO Move Up Provo
Canyon.
MAY COST LARGE SUM
ROAD WANTS TO BUILD OVER
DISPUTED LAND.
Case Now In Supreme Court of United
States and Should 1t Be Reversed
the Procedure Would Be Expen-
sive For the Railway Company
Gobbled BY Big Syndicate.
Especial Correspondence

Provo, April 1S.-Today a motion was
made in the district court by the Rio
Grande Western, asking for an order
allowing the railway company to build
It's Provo canyon road over the lands
Of the late w. w. Ferguson.
1t will be remembered that some two
years ago the Rio Grande Western
sued Ferguson to determine a right-of-
way over the latter's land, which had
been sold or transferred to the Tellu-
ride Power & Transmission company.
A decision was rendered in favor of
the railway company, but the case was
appealed and is now in the supreme
court of the United States.
If now the company builds over this
land, it does so at its own risk, and
should the supreme court reverse the
decision of the lower court it may cost
the company thousands of dollars. This
risk it is willing to take, but at the
same time ii does not care to be inter
fered with; hence the motion.
1t is, however, understood by the at
torneys on both sides that no effort will
be made to interfere with the railway
company. On the strength of this un-
Outstanding the motion was continued.
The work on the grade in the canyon
is progressing nicely. The construction
gang has reached a point about half a
mile below the power dam, and at the
rate they are moving now. they viii
soon reach the land in dispute.
Chief Engineer Yard was in the Car
den City today for few hours.

who are supposed TO have paid for the
same about SO cents clean. There have
been free exports of Australian wool
also, which has been held here in bond,
the purchasers paying from 40 to IS
cents clean.
The market presents a remarkable
condition of affairs. With q duty Of Il
cents per pound on fine woods. we be
hold the singular spectacle Of the do
nestle product selling at such a low
price as to warrant the eXDortation.
The general market has been fairly
active. the sales for the past week ag-
SreSatinS nearly 100000 pounds. The
demand has been chiefly for territories
grading fine medium. Prices are steady
and unchanged, but any attempt TO Sc
cure an advance instantly checks neSo-
tiattons between buyers and sellers
The sales of the past week have been
made at as low prices as have been
seen this year for the same quality Of
stuff. The sales of the week at Boston
amounted to $4,000 pounds domestic
and 1861. 500 pounds foreign. making

BLAZE AT MT. PLEASANT.
House Destroyed and a Boy Badly
Hurt By a Horse.
(Special to The IIerald.)

Mt. Pleasant, April 1s.-This city was
visited today by another confagration,
the second one in week. The building
burned was a two-story frame dwelling
house, the property of Frank w. Olsen,
now q resident of Mercur. The fire de-
partment responded quickly when the
untiring labor succeeded in combining the
flames to the one building. This, how
ever was practically destroyed
The house was occupied by John J.
Woodring. His household effects were
saved from the flames, but were dam
aged considerably in handling. A high
wind was blowing when the blaze first
started but it Gained down quickly and
this fact in all probability saved the
city from a disastrous and far-reaching
conflagration, as the burning building
was surrounded on every side by frame
buildings. all in close proximity.
The origin of the fire is Il mystery. 1t
was first discovered by Mrs. Woodring
who was alone in the house in an up-
stairs hall adjoining the vacant rooms
The only fiue in which a fire had been
burning was several yards distant. II is
got through q crevice in the roof and
caught fire underneath.
The building was valued at about 81 500,
and was insured in the Home of New
York for 81. 900.
A distressing incident of the fire was
the serious injury of Joseph Hancock, a
7-year-old boy, who was knocked down
by a horse plunging through the crowd
near the scene of the fire. He was picked
up in an unconscious condition with
blood squirting from noStrilS and ears.
