THREE YEARS FOR BOTH MEN
WILLIAM REEVES AND JOHN
PETERSON SENTENCED.
Were Convicted of Breaking Into
Salt Lake & Los Angeles Shops
Last Summer.

William Reeves and John W. Peter
son, the two young men who were con-
victed on Wednesday of housebreak-
ing. were each sentenced yesterday TO
undergo three years imprisonment in
the state prison.
Before passing sentence. Judge Nor
rell overruled the motion and argu-
ment of Attorney J. NJ. Hamilton for
the defense, who asked for a new trial.
The offense for which the men pay
the penalty consisted of entering the
Salt Lake & Los Angeles railroad shops
on Eighth West and stealing valuable
tools and various portable articles.
which were subsequently unearthed in
several secondhand stores in this city
by the police.
Attorney Hamilton further made a
motion to set aside the verdict of the
jury, who last Monday found Reeves
guilty of burglarizing the residence of
Joseph Smith and stealing a watch
and a pair of sleeve links.
After the conviction of Reeves on
Monday. Peterson made a sworn state
ment to the effect that the young man
was innocent of the crime as charged,
and that the theft and crime had been
committed by him alone. On this
ground the attorney for the defense
made a motion for a new trial. which
was argued before the court yesterday
Judge Norrell granted the request and
set the hearing of the new trial for
Dec. 10.

Violent Incidents In the Trial of the
Alleged Conspirators.

ate) today NJ. Guerin asked for an ad-
journment of the proceedings to Sc

ers, among whom NJ. Andre Buffet, vice
president of the Young Royalist League
and representative of the Duke of Or
leans political bureau. was distinguish
able as especially violent.
The public prosecutor demanded. NJ.
Bullets expulsion, whereupon the up
roar increased and the president of the
court, NJ. Fallieries. ordered the pris-
oners TO be elected. which was done
after considerable trouble. The session
was then suspended and the court or
dered that NJ. Buffet be expelled from
the sessions for week.
NJ. Fallieries eventually rejected NJ.
Guerin's application, whereupon NJ.
Guerin asked to be allowed to with
draw. NJ Fallieries promptly refused
this extraordinary request, and NJ.
Guerin retorted that he wished it to be
understood that he only remained in
court under compulsion. The president
of the court paid no attention to this
characteristic protest and resumed
hearing the witnesses.
An eXsoldier named Michael, who
was on duty at Neuilly barracks the
day of the De Roulede-Roget incident,
testified that NJ. de Roulede made a
violent speech TO the officers. reproach-
ing them with not joining in his pro-
posed march on the Elyssee palace.

called to the stand, denied that he or
any other officer heard the remarks at

tried.

JACKS POSITION
CONTENTION OVER WHO SHALL

Either Warden of State Prison Or
Sheriff of Cassia County Must Do
the Job If 1t Is Done.
fspecial to rhe Hera1d1

Boise. Dec 1.-The Diamondfeld
Jack murder case again has the boards
in this state. 1t comes into the su-
preme court on a question as to who
shall execute the prisoner in case he is
executed at all-Ehether that person.
age shall be the sheriff of Cassia coun-
ty, - ere the crime was committed, or
the warden of the state penitentiary,
where for the last six months the pris-
oner has been confined. Attorney Gen.
eral Hays is of the opinion that the
sheriff of CasSia county is the proper
person to execute the prisoner, as the
crime was committed before the legis-
lature that passed the law last winter
providing for the execution Of all prison
ers convicted of capital offense by the
warden of the state prison within the
walls of that institution
Sheriff Burke of Cassia came here and
made legal demand for the prisoner,
and in order to settle the question it
was determined to get the proposition
in shape and have the supreme court
pass on the issue. which will be done.
There is practically no difference of
opinion between lawyers on the subject,
even Hon. James Hawley. attorney for
Diamondfield, admitting that beyond all
doubt the sheriff of Cassia should have
the prisoner under the law Mr.. Haw-
icy POSlllOu 10 take eNcIy dQEdn-
tage of legal questions in the interest
of his client. and will play some very
decisive cards in his behalf soon.
The conviction has been growing in
the state for some time that however
big a villain Jack may be ON general
principles he did not commit the crime
of numbering Cummings and Wilson
near Rock Creek. Cassia county, in Feb
ruary of 1896. jeff Gray subsequently
to the trial and conviction of Jack for
the murders, confessed that he killed
the men on the 4th of February in self
defense, the quarrel growing out Of
differences between the sheep and cat
tie men of Cassia county. Many peo-
pie here are of the opinion that Jack
will never be executed, as it is the in
tention of Mr.. Hawley to take the case
into the supreme court of the United
States when all other legal remedies
fail here.

battle at Santander have been received.
The government losses were also con-
siderable. The revolutionary forces
numbered about 5000 veterans from
Santander, Boyaca and Cundinamar-
lea, and were commanded bv General
Tribe, who led with extraordinary
bravery. He retired, some reports say,
toward Boyaca. while others have him

tionists under Marcos Serrano on Oct.
29, was finally recaptured on Nov. Is

which threatened bombardment if re-
s:stance We're made.
Serrano, upon the suggestion of the
resident consuls, sent commissioners.
who, on behalf of the people, demanded
from General Manjarres an explana-
ton. General Manjarres replied by re-
peating his threat of bombardment, and
limited the time for surrender. The
surrender was finally effected through
mediation of the consuls.
The revolutionists retired inland with
their force and arms. During the tine
the rebels occupied Rio Hacha, Serrano
declared himself provisional. civil and

principles, and for nearly three weeks

Answer

r. D. Mcdonald yesterday filed an
swer in the district court in the case
of Dan Harrington and John McNally
VS.. Philo T. Farnsworth and R. D.
Mcdonald. 1t will be remembered that
the original complaint alleges that the
defendants had an option on the An
telope group for the sum of $4,000, to
be paid in installments. and that the
last installment of $4,000 was not paid
in full. Plaintiffs accordingly prayed
that the deeds to the property be turned
over 90 them and the $4,000 already paid
by Farnsworth be declared forfeited.
In his answer. Mcdonald alleges pos
itively that Hall paid defendant one
third of the $4,000 installment and
that the entire consideration for the
purchase of the property-the Antelope
group-has been paid by Farnsworth.
