action in the district court, commenced
by the Postal Telegraph-Ca COM
pany of Utah, to require the defendant
to give right of way along the Short

legged, has an exclusive contract with
the Short Line for use of telegraph
right of way. 1t is also stated that
under the terms of the contract be-
tween the two companies, the Western

any such suits as that filed by the Pos
tai company, and it is predicted that
it will not surrender its monopoly with

ALLRED'S TERRIBLE FALL
DROPPED OVER THIRTY FEET
TO BOTTOM OF WELL.
Was There Over an Hour Before Be-
ing Taken Out-Stiu Unconscious
at Last Accounts.
SpeciaI Corresnondencsl


Mt Pleasant, July 2S.-Word has arrived
here from Chester of fearful and we'll
nigh fatal accident which happened in
that little burg early in the week.
The victim of the unfortunate affair is
Charles Alfred. one of the prominent and
infiuentiaf business men of the place. He
received his injuries by falling down u
well.
Particulars, as far as obtainable are as
follows: In company with a brother he
was working at the well digging it.
Charles had been in the bottom working
ana had started up in the bucket, drawn
by a wlnClass- When few feet from the
top he became suddenly so dizzy as TO
lose command OF his senses, presumably
on account of the smoke and foul air in
the well. and fell to the bottom. The
fall was a terrific one, ii being a distance
of thirty-iive feet from where he left the
bucket to the ground. The brother was
unable to get MN out alone and the in
Jured man lay at the bottom for more
than an hour before assistance came.
When taken out II was found that the
entire 'front.' portion of the skull had been
torn away reaching back to the top OF
the head. Clashes mad been cut on one
size and on the back of the head also.
The wounds were dressed. and although
at the hour of latest Information, he mad
not yet regained consciousness, il is
thought his injuries would not terminate
fatally. 1t is supposed the wounds on
the head Were received on the fall going
down, as he started headforemost anu
probably struck against the side walls
and was turned around. lie was not in

CONCESSION TO o. P.
May Use Northern Pacific Track Into
Seattle.

Tacoma, Wash, July 2S.-President c..
S. Mellen of the Northern Pacific rail-
way. in talking today of the railroad
situation on the coast, said:
We have offered the Oregon Railway
& Navigation, which is the Union Pa
cific system, to let them run into Ia
coma over our tracks from Portland,
and to give them terminals here, so far
as we have any say in the matter, at
very reasonable terms. They may ac-
cept our proposition. The terms are
entirely satisfactory. If they are not
we will make them satisfactory. 1t
would be to our interest, as we'll as
theirs, to let them run over our tracks
rather than build an additional line. We
would rather divide the cost and eX-
penSe of maintaining one line than to
pay all the cost ourselves. The traffic
between here and Portland for many
years can all be done over the one line
and not be crowded. AS for terms, we
will make terms that are satisfactory.
The war between the Northern and
the Union is mostly in the newspapers.
Many of the stockholders are owners in
both roads, and where we can save
money by such an agreement it will be
made. And l have no doubt this ar
rangement will be made, as soon as the
Union gets around to take the matter
mails here, and be entirely independent
of us, both roads using the same track.
The Northern Pacific will continue to
make Tacoma its main terminus on the
Pacific, and the place where the orien-
tai commerce is carried on as long as
we have our docks and terminals there
If we had the same facilities in Port
land and Seattle as we have here we
would take the business to the town
that was the most enterprising. and
where the people were the best hust-
lers. We have already acquired large
terminals in Seattle. The deal has been
closed, though it has not been given to
the public. We shall naturally utilize
the land.
IF we had the facilities in Seattle
that we have here we could as we'll do
the business there as here. The dis
lance is no greater. But at Tacoma
we have the terminals already built,
and here we shall continue to do the
main bulk of our oriental business, as
long as we can keep room enough to
handle it,"

WHITMORE'S CINCH.
Owns All Water In Whitmore Can
yon, and Values It Accordingly.
Especial Correspondence


Price. Utah. July 2S.-George c. Whit
more, who owns the water right in
Whitmore canyon, and without which
the new coal camp out there can do
little, has about decided to put in a
pipe line that will carry the water by
the new coal camp and down on to his
ranch. He is now in Salt Lake City,
looking into the cost of iron pipe and
clay, and while there will decide on
what he will use. The iron will cost in
the neighborhood of $4,000 per mile,
and the clay not much less. There will
be not less than three miles of it. and
the outlay will not fall short of S25, 900
to go 900.
Back some twenty years ago, Whit
more located the only ranch in the can
yon, and has since had monopoly on
the water there by reason of the fact
that there has never been more than
was necessary to irrigate his lands.
When the deal was made for the coal
lands by the company, the latter hoped
to be able to get a part of the water,
and what was lacking they would Sc
cure by encountering a flow in the
mines. Since they have tried to buy
out Whitmore, who is willing to sell,
but the two cannot come to an agree
ment as to the price. Whitmore asks
S40,0 600 for his ranch and the water that
goes with ii. but the coal company will
not accede TO his terms.

the people brought into this country. and
