HIS WHEEL WAS HIS DEATH.
THE MORRISON MYSTERY IS
SOLVED.
Dangerously Loose Handle Bars
Hurled the Unfortunate Bicyc-
list to His Doom.

The Coroner's jury in the inquest as
to the cause of Alfred E. Morrison's
death heard the evidence and rendered
a verdict last night. The verdict was
that death was caused by compression,
and possibly laceration of the brain
structure, from an accidental fall from
/ his bicycle. There was no evidence Of
a collision, but there was the evidence
of the bicycle, with it's dangerously
loose handle bars, to make it highly
probable that the fall was caused by a
turning in of the front wheel The jurors
were: F. A. Shepherd, F. NJ Woodson,
NJ. A. Howard G. N. Cook, Thomas
Eby and H. P. Murray The following
is full summary of the evidence on
which the verdict was based:
DR.. D. McLean--I attended Morrison
in his last illness, at his home, SIG
Twenty-third street. There was no evil
dence of an outside fracture of the
skull; no bruise or laceration, but there
was much bleeding through the left ear

ment that saw him, and 1 think he

Third Day of Equalizing Board Re-
suits In Abatement of S26, Alb,
Mostly In Mortgage Items.

Aside from the elimination of erron-
eously assessed mortgages from the
tax rolls, yesterdays business be-
fore the county board of equalization
was so small in the aggregate and COM
plants of CONGRATULATIONS were so few
in number that Assessor Quinn IS more
than assured of the fairness of the
valuations he has made for taxing pur-
poses.
The mortgages stricken off because
the owners no longer held security for
the debts covered thereby, or for the
reason that the owners showed offsets
of indebtedness, were the following:

Personal property assessed to the
Conklin Sampling Works was cut from
$4,000 TO 81 900. Lars Jacobson secured
an abatemen of S1,2S5 on personal prop

auctions made amounted to 500.

pay too much for it.

Silver Bow Developments.

The Silver Bow property of the new
ly-incorporated Silver Crown Mining
company. is in some very good lead
silver ore The Silver Bow is an old
property on which very little legitimate
work had been done until it passed
into the hands of f. n. jenkins, who
has since severing his connection with
the Boss Tweed, been able to devote his
exclusive attention to the Silver Bow,
which he characteriZes as a sure win
ner. The mine is on the Park vein and
Joins the north lines of Hatfield &
Loose's Silver Park property. from
which vast fortunes have been ex-
tracted away back in the time of Joab
Lawrence. and later by Pat Condor
and subsequent leasers. Mr.. jenkins
has sunk an incline shaft on the vein,
which has a 45-degree pitch, to depth
of 300 feet. Drifting north and south
a small body of desirable smelling ore
has been opened, varying in visible
quantities of from four to twelve inches
in width. Thirty feet below a better
grade and more compact seam of min
eral has been cut and something like
a ton and a half or two tons of the ore
is on the dump now. Mr.. jenkins has
lust about perfected arrangements with
several of the hest known and most
progressive mining men in Utah. who
have examined the ground and eX-
pressed great confidence in the posi-
bilities to become associated with him
in forming a strong company, for the
purpose of developing this rich vein.
This steam hoist on the. Silver Park
was started this afternoon for the first
time. and met every requirement of
those who have patiently and labori-
ously been employed in setting it up.
The new shaft recently commenced
from the surface is down fifty feet.

Robinson, June 6.-L. c. Lee, who has
charge of the Mammoth company's big
ranch. near where the water supply
comes from, which is piped here, quite
close to the West Tintic mining dis
trict, informed the writer this after
noon that in the past week there has
been more stir in mining circles in that
locality than has occurred in years. Mr..
Lee seemed to think that the splendid
showing made in the Last Chance, be-
ing worked by Messrs Patterson and
Bates would have tendency TO re-
vive the old diggings into something OF
it's former activity if in fact it did not
surpass or eclipse the original BOOM

that he saw some ore, brittle silver.
taken from the bottom of the shaft or
the Last Chance mine, at a depth of
go feet. that was worth $500 per ton,
and some of the selected samples gave
assay tests many times richer.
The Scotia and Prairie Bell groups,
are both improving in appearance rap
idly with depth. and the Orient COM
pany. comprised of six claims, is said
to be in excellent ore again.
Mr.. Lee expressed himself as feeling
confident that if one or two individuals
or corporations with ample means could
be induced to do some extensive ex-
plotting in West Tintic, they would be
well rewarded, and it would be the
means of opening a great district.

the faces of those who invested in the
stock. When A. s. Day was here last

more promising disclosures.

results to come from the ore ship

much, as the ore chute promises to be

DEFENDED CHURCH OF ROME
ONLY TRUE CHURCH SAYS
FATHER YOUNAN.
Quoted Authorities to Show That
Peter Was the True Head of the
Church.

Father Younan preached to another
large congregation in the cathedral last
evening. The greater portion of his dis
course was taken up in demonstrating
that the Catholic was the only true
church To the question, How can
the popes of Rome prove their success
sion from Peter. since there is no evil
dence that Peter was ever in Rome %
he replied that there was as much
proof that Peter lived and died in Rome
as there was that Christ lived and died
in Jerusalem. He then quoted a large
number of authorities to prove that
Peter was the true head of the Roman
Catholic church.
The speaker next paid his respects to
the reformers. Rome fell into error.
they assert, and we reformed her. OF
these reformers there were Sos
branches, established by Henry VIII.
Luther. Calvin, Knox. Wesley and
others" They could not reform the
Catholic church without destroying her
doctrines and they had not succeeded
in destroying one of these. There are
450,000,000 Christians in the world. OF
these 100000 are Catholics. The
other 50.000.000 are split up into many
denominations, all branches off one
stalk. There is no church but the
Catholic that has an unbrOken sue
cession of 1900 years. 1t has but one
teacher. one acknowledged leader, one
infallible head. There is no doctrine, no
authority, no certainty. no antiquity.
no infallibility anywhere except i'll the
Catholic church. Not one doctrine of
the church is in error, and Father YOU
nan challenged any one to prove the
contrary.
The speaker closed by exhorting his
hearers to search for the truth. to find
the infallible teacher and to pray earn
eStly for light.
As before announced, Father Younan
will deliver his lecture ON India in the
Salt Lake theatre tomorrow evening.
Those in charge wish it to be known
that reserved seat tickets are now on
sale at the box office, and as there
promises to be rush for seats tonight.
