PUBLIC SENTIMENT.

AS he EaEam understood public
sentiment. the public believed him to
be murderer and for gain. and he
was greatly racked in body and brain
IN consequence. He was goaded to
death and was very glad of chance

through them, 10000, 900 of people in the
defense OF his honor.
The witness spoke of his mental and
physical condition between the time
General Miles gave his testimony and
the time he himself had appeared. He
could not get rid of the thought that
the country believed him to be n MUIR

A Possibility of the Swansea Being
Brought Into Fight.


President Claud Y. Wheeler of the
South Swansea Mining company ac-
copied service yesterday in the case
iled in the district court at Nephi by
the -Four Aces Mining company. The
opinion was expressed yesterday that
under the conditions of the temporary
Injunction granted by Judge Higgins
the defendant company would be COM
peeled 10 shut up the mine until ,he
hearing in the Injunction proceedings
comes up on Jan. 10. OF else the officers
of the company would be subject to
contempt Of court if they continued the
extraction OF ore. * was believed that
would be the case unless the South
Swansea folks could extract ore from
the mine not within the end planes of
the Four Aces lode mining claim. Presi-
derit Wheeler said late yesterday after
moor that the case had been placed in
the hands of the company's attorneys.
and no steps would be made TO stop
operations at the mine until the COM
pany had been advised of the scope of
the injunction proceedings. II is al
legged the Tour Aces folks are sharp
en.ng their axes for the Swansea also
and = is predicted that the fight Will
be a hotly contested one before it is
ended.

itself in this district with a substantial
San Francisco company behind the I'M

attention to careful inspection of this

Points Record.

appearance yesterday when the big

pounds from the Chloride Point, 500

the April Fool, at De Lamar, New, were
unloaded -
The Chloride Points shipment was
the largest ever made by that company
on a two weeks run and was the prod
uct of $50 tons OF crude ore, the near
