Carbon County Sheriff Goes to Pro-
tect Bradt.
HELD UNDER HEAVY BONDS
WILL BE KILLED IF SET AT
LIBERTY.
Wellington Man Held For Trial On
a Charge Of Rape-Sheriff and
Deputies Leave. Price For the Pur-
pose of Protecting the Prisoner
Cannot Give Bonds.
Especial to The Herald.)

Price, Utah, March 2.-The prelimin-
ary hearing of Charles E. Bradt,
charged with rape upon three girls,
each under 10 years of age, was held
before Justice Blackburn at Wellington
today, and the bond of the accused was
placed at $1,500 to await trail at the
district court. Up to the hour Of the
departure of the attorneys for here to-
night, the accused had not been able
to give the bond, and ne was in charge
of the constable of the precinct.
Bradt is a blacksmith, and works for
George b. Miner, the father of one OF
the girls upon whom Bradt attempted
an outrage. There is q, feeling there
that Miner and his friends are at
tempting to shield the accused, and
parties in from there say it would not
be surprising if Bradt was lynched. al
though matters have cooled down some
since last night. VIII J. TiGweu, the
father of one of the children, gave it
out that he was willing the law should
take its course, but if BIadt was turned
loose under small bond, so he might
leave the country he (TidwelD would
kill him.
Should a mob get hold of Bradt the
news would probably not reach Price
until morning. AT u o'clock tonight
nothing had been heard from there
since about 10 o'clock in the evening. 1t
is not believed Bradt can give bonds.
Prosecuting Attorney Hoffman was
given little assistance in the collection
of evidence, and there is a feeling, ac-
cording to sevecal reliable parties who
were present, that Bradt is being
shielded by those who should be the
most ready to come to the assistance
of the state. Mr.. Hoffman is in earn
est about the matter, and if Bradt eE5-
capess the anger of the citizens there, no
effort will be spared to convict him in
the district court.
Sheriff Alfred and deputies left here
this evening for Wellington and will do
what they can to protect the prisoner.

COLORADO BLOCKADE.
Trains Tied Up and the Storm Still
Raging.

Trains Tied Up and the Storm Still
Raging.
Leadville Colo, March 2.-The snow
storm which began here at midnight
Sunday shows no signs Of abating. The
railroads are completely tied up west
of this city, and are running but few
trains east. The outlook here is most
discOuraging for business men and la
borers. There has been a loss to this
community for month past Of over
$4,000 a day in wages, in addition TO
heavy losses to mine owners through
failure to make shipments and carry
on development work. On Carbonate.
Fryer and one or two other hills some
work is being done, but elsewhere all
the mines are idle. Leadville seems to
be the center of the storm belt.
A telegram received today said that
the storm in the region embracing
Breckenridge, Dillon, KOkomo, Robin
son, Dickey, Climax and Wheeler is
worse today than for a week past It
is stated here that no effort will be
made to open up the South Park or
Blue River lines to the blockaded towns
until the storm stops, as every effort
made so far has resulted only in get
ting more rolling stock tied up. The
Rio GTande people have eight engines
dead on their short branch.
Snowshoe parties have been organized
to carry provisions from Leadville to
Climax. Birds Eye and Robinson by
parties who live in that section. A
snowshoe mail service is also to be es-
tabliShed for points on the South Park
railroad to which no trains have run
for over a month.

MR. EHURMAN's ADDRESS.
Logical and Clear Review of the
Whole ConspiracY.

Gentlemen of the Committee would
have been deeply grateful if Judge
Dickson had occupied your time to a
greater extent and covered the whole
field of the testimony We arranged
among ourselves. however, that mas
much as what is known as the Law
charges in this investigation is by far
the strongest feature of the case, he
should devote his attention particularly
to that. leaving to me the discussion OF
other matters involved in the speclflca-
tloDS.
Before proceeding to the discussion Of
those matters, however, there are 1eW
points connected with the Law case
not mentioned or fully elaborated by
Mr.. Dickson, and deem 1t lnoortailt
to call your attention to those before
entering upon the discussion of the
matters allotted to me in the arrange
ment referred TO.
Mr.. Dickson has called your attention
to the fact that Mr.. Horn, the clerk In
the Wasatch drug store, was a witness
who was not favorable 10 Mr.. McCune
We, therefore, may refer to his testi-
mony with the understanding that 1T
comes from witness who has no SYM
pathy with US in this investigation. Mr..
Horn, when on the witness stand, in
formed you, gentlemen of the commit
tee, that he watched Mr.. McCune and
Mr.. Law when they went out OF the
drug store, saw them again as they
were crossing the street in a southerly
direction and again saw them when
they were shaking hands. That there
was nothing unusual or extraordinary
in the attitude of the parties while
shaking hands, or anything that spec
tally attracted his attention. He in
formed you, Also that within fifteen
minutes after he saw these parties
shaking hands, Mr.. Law returned TO
the drug store and engaged with MN
in conversation. That Mr.. Law at tnat
time told him that he offered to sell
his vote to Mr.. McCune hrst 1or hNe
thousand dollars, then for four thou-
sand and so on, until at last he reached
his lowest limit, which was fifteen nun
dred dollars. That Mr.. McCune declln-
ed these offers, and that they finally
separated without an agreement; that
there was no agreement arrived at pc
tween them. He also stated that Mr..
Law never told him that he received
from Mr.. McCune, while shaking hands,
the sum of $50, or any other amount.
This, gentlemen of the committee,
seems to US significant. Mr.. Law
made the drug store his headquarters.
lie was evidently we'll acquainted with
Mr.. Horn. He had spoken to him be-
fore in suspicious manner, as descrlo-
ed by Judge Dickson, when he told him
he desired to communicate with Mr..
McCune over the telephone. 1t would
seem reasonable to expect, under these
conditions and circumstances, that If
Mr.. McCune had given Mr.. Law any
sum of money while sheking hands
with him, or had entered into any ar
rangement whatever looking to the
payment of money, that Mr. Law, while
relating to Mr.. Horn what Mr.. Horn

Law FOLLOWED M'cUNE.

LIZ 4
Mr.. McCune and Sergeant Hilton
both testify that when Mr.. McCune
came out of the drug store Law was
then standing from fifteen feet to a rod
west of the door on the sidewalk. That
Mr.. McCune, instead of going in the
direction of Law, turned in the opposite
direction. walked east to the crossing,
then south, where he was Joined by Mr..
Law. The significance of this testi-
niony and Of these facts must be clear
and palpable to your under
standing and comprehension. Re-
member, there had been no ar
rangement, even according to the
testimony of Mr.. Law before leaving
the drug store, as to when or where
MT. McCune and Mr.. Law were to again
meet So far as the testimony of either
Mr.. McCune or Mr.. Law is concerned,
as to what took place between them in
the drug store before they emerged
therefrom upon the sidewalk, there was
no understanding arrived at as to
where they should again come together.
Under these circumstances, it would
seem, when Mr. McCune came out of
the drug store and saw Mr.. Law stand
ing to the west, if he intended to talk
with him further or have any further
arrangement concerning this matter, he
would have gone in that direction; but,
instead of that we find him turning in
the opposite direction away from where
Mr.. Law stood, and he could not have
known or even supposed from anything
that had been said in the drug store
that Mr.. Law would follow him or join
him in crossing the street. This cir
cumstance is entirely inconsistent with
the testimony of Mr.. Law and the the,
ory of the prosecution, but is in every

COUNTRY DANCE
ALMOST ENDS
IN A TRAGEDY
Miss Elsie Jewell Is
Badly Hurt.
KICKED BY A RUNAWAY HORSE
KNOCKED DOWN WHILE SAVING
A YOUNGER SISTER.
Accident Occurs at Corte MADEIRA Early
Sunday Morning as the Pleas
ure Seekers Are Prepar-
ing to Return.

While attempting to save her little sis
ter from being trampled to death by a
runaway horse Miss Elsie Jewell. one OF
the most popular young bellies of Lark
spur, was herself knocked down and Sc
verely injured at Corte MADEIRA early
Sunday morning. The accident occurred
at the close of a dance given for the pur-
pose of raising funds to build new side
walks at Larkspur. There We're many
young people present from the surround
ing country and in the excitement attend
ing the hurried preparations for depar-
ture one of the animals became fright
ened and. freeing itself by a sudden jerk
at the halter, started on a mad gallop
down the road toward home
There was a general scurrying to get
out of the way and the little Jewell grl
fell directly in the path of the frightened
animal. Miss Jewell saw her sister fall
and, ralizing her danger, ran TO her res
cue. She had barely time to push the
child into place of safety when the run,
away was upon her. She was knocked
down and the flying hoofs of the horse
struck her the head. inf1icting pain
full wounds and rendering her uncon-
scious. DR. Hopper of San Francisco
who was in the party, did everything pos
sible for the injured girl and accompan
led her to her home. Miss Jewell also
received several cuts and bruises about
the body, but it is not thought that any
of them will prove serious.
The runaway was not captured until II
reached San Rafael.
