VOLUNTEERS AT FORT DOUGLAS
TWO COMPANIES MAY BE STA
TONED HERE.
Lieutenant White Will Endeavor to
Secure Two Companies of the
Thirty-fourth.

The call for recruits for the new Thlr-
ty-fourth regiment has not met with
very hearty response as yet. No en-
listments were made yesterday at Fort
Dougles, although two letters regard
ing the matter were received from men
in Provo, who are desirious OF assist
ing Uncle Sam. The reason for the ap-
parent lack of interest is probably that
no posters have been put UP, and men
who would enlist are not cognizant OF
the fact that now is the time to do it.
Lieutenant White has sent to Denver
for posters, and as soon as they arrive
they will be used to the best advan-
tage.
Speaking yesterday regarding the
new Thirty-fourth, Lieutenant White
said: Utah, if she does her duty,
ought to furnish at least 200 men. and
think she will l shall attempt TO get
two companies OF the new regimen,
garrisoned at Fort Douglas. Fort Lo-
gan will be unable to quarter 1850 men
satisfactorily, and we can accommodate
240 of them. We have clothing, food
and barracks for that number, and ]
am now at work toward that end

TREACHEROUS MANACLE ROCKS
MYSTERIOUS CURRENT DRAWS
VESSELS TOWARDS THEM.
Possible Explanation of How the
American Liner Paris Was
Wrecked-Another Marrow Escape

Falmouth, July 13.-On entering the
harbor today the steamer Paris, re-
Gently aground on the ManacleS, under
the influence of wind and tide became
temporarily unmanageable. Her stern
swung round and struck the end of a.
wooden pier. upon which a large crowd
had assembled The pier shook from
end to end. The spectators became
panic-stricken and made an ugly rush
for escape. Ultimate control of thf
ship was regained and she was safely
anchored
Superintendent Aisbett of the wreck
ing company gave a reporter Of the
Associated Press today a contribution
of a startling nature to the controversy
as to the cause Of wrecks on the Man
acleS. He said:
In bringing the Paris to Falmouth
she narrowly escaped big AIanacief
rock. 1t was ebb tide, with northerlys
wind blowing, which would naturally
take the vessel south, but we found
her getting nearer and nearer the Man
acles until within 400 yards of them,
whereas we ought to have been a mile
to the southwark Things looked queer
for a time. but we altered our tactics
and cleared the rock.
From what l have seen during the
past six weeks, / am confident some
mysterious current draws the vessels
toward the rocks. While working on
the Paris we warned numberless YES
sells of the danger they were in"

IN CANNON CASE
INFORMATION WILL PROBABLY
BE FILED TODAY.
No Time Fixed For Arrangement
Mr. Owen Is After High-priced
Gentle Attorneys.

County Attorney Putnam did not
know yesterday when an information
would be filed against President Angus
NJ. Cannon on the charge of unlawful
cohabitation, nor when he would be re-
quired to plead in court to the charge.
Since Mr.. Cannon has waived his pre-
liminary examination before Justice
Pardee, the next movement in the case
will be the filing of the information.
Though Mr.. Putnam did not know
when this would be done, it was learned
from others that the information would
be made out and filed today, if the pa
perS in the case are sent by Justice
Pardee to the county attorneys office.
Mr.. Putnam said that he did not know
when the matter would come before
Judge Norrell, and he does not seem TO
have very much information about the
case.
But after the filing OF the informa-
ton, which must be done within thirty
days from the time the defendant was
bound over by the justice, he must
plead or demur in court at the no.
tice of the county attorney. Mr.. Can
non may, if he chooses, have his attor-
neys, Ferguson & Cannon, represent
him in court, his presence not even be-
ing required to receive sentence.
AS stated by The Herald several days
ago. it is generally understood that
Mr.. Cannon will plead guilty to the
charge when the matter comes before
the district court, although there has
been no arrangement between the op-
posing attorneys concerning this.
When asked what plea would be en-
tered or what line of defense would be
offered, Mr.. Cannon's attorneys de-
clared that they did not know. Their
action indicates that no defense at all
VIII be made. but that plea of guilty
will be entered in the charge
Owen Wants Lawyers.
Mr.. Owen has, within the past few
days, attempted to retain some of the
highest-priced legal talent in the city to
assist County Attorney Putnam in the
prosecution, having unsuccessfully APP
preached prominent Gentle attorneys
When asked last evening If he intended
to get more legal talent he would make
no answer.
Il have nothing more to say about
the case; il is in the hands of County
Attorney Putnam he replied
who would pay for these attorneys
if they were employed?" was asked.
Il have nothing to say at ALL" was
his answer.
Mr.. Owen did not appear at the office
OF the county clerk yesterday to see
the record of the election of Mrs Mat
tie Hughes-Cannon to the state senate.
When Deputy County Clerk Blair re-
fused to permit him to inspect the GER
tificate Wednesday, he also said that
1t might be seen at 10 o'clock yesterday
morning. But Mr.. Owen did not take
the opportunity.

INCREASED THE TAX.
Error in Valuation Figures Has Ill
Effect in Summit.
Especial Correspondencs.)


Coalville, July 12-Summit county 5
commissioners went to the Morgan county
line today to meet the Morgan county
commissioners to confer regarding the
proposed new road through the Narrows
in Weber canyon but as the Morgan coun-
ty men failed to appear. no conclusions
were arrived at and nothing was done in
the matter save inStructing Summit coun-
tvs supervisor to use his discretion and
the means appropriated by the state in
the matter.
The commissioners then returned to
Coalville and held a very important but
short special session. in which the county
tax levy. which was fixed on the 3rd inst.
at 3ls mills. was changed and increased TO
mills. the cause for which being an error
found in the auditors report of the ccun-
ty valuation of about $4,000. making il
less by that amount than reported, thus
necessitating the increase in levy TO meet
the current expenses.
This fact leaves Summit county in the
ninth class instead of the eighth, as the
first report indicated.
The board then authorized the painting,
papering and general cleaning up of the
court room and offices in the court house.

CITY'S DEFICIT NOT LARGE.
Debts Left By the Preceding Ad-
ministration Cause It.

In discussing the condition of the
city treasury, Treasurer Morris said
yesterday that it was a mistake to as
sumo that the size of the overdraft at
the bank is larger than 1t was at this
time last year. By the end of July the
overdraft will be little if any in excess
of $4,000, but a month later the pay
ment of $4,000 for interest on bonds
and $4,000 ON account of the sprinkling
carts will increase the deficit The
treasurer is certain that the overdraft
will at no time exceed $50, 900, which
was the maximum last year. Consid-
ering that this administration assumed
power on an empty Republican treas
ury and has had to pay more than
$4,000 of debts left by the preceding
Republican administration, Mr. Morris
thinks the showing made is very graft
flying. Last years tax levy was not
increased, and this years half mill adj
ditional levy viii put the city in easy
circumstances and remove the necessity
of having the bank carry its overdraft
next year.

The smallest living elephant in captiv-

noted animal trainer is the happy owner,

ures TO his admirable exhibition, has been
in search of an elephant so small in size
that it would be a veritable curiosity-one
that would be a pleasing feature with
which to delight the large audiences
which are in daily attendance at his most
wonderful animal exhibitions. And at last
one of his agents cabled from Bombay.
India, that he could secure Pinto. The
price paid was something like five dollars
a pound-and the little fellow weighs a
trifie over 80 pounds-but elephants are
expensive and Pinto" was deemed worth
the large amount, and so the little fellow
was sent to America and on Wednesday,

The speaker thought the poor prob

Lively School Election.

NGltNIdI
Mt. Pleasant, July 13-Monday's school
election was an exciting affair, and it is
still a matter of warm discussion and
comment.
The election gave every indication early
in the day of being very tame. Mr.. John
son, the retiring trustee, had been the
only nominee of the regular caucus. and
it looked as though. he would receive a
unanimous vote until about O'Clock,
when it became manifest that an attempt
was being made to defeat the regular
nominee. When the ballots were counted
it was found that Bishop c. n. Lund had
been put forward by his friends and that
he had received enough votes to tie those
received by Mr.. Johnson-each receiving
thirty-eight. A draw by the two gentle-
men resulted in Mr.. Johnson's success.
