Testimony of Character.

CBy Telephone to The Herald)
Logan. July 1.-THE preliminary trail of
Henry Simpson on the charge Of assault
ing Hans o. Wedding on the night of the
18th instant. was concluded late today be-
fore Justice Knowles who took the case
under advisement. The evidence shows
that the published account OF the scrap
was somewhat exaggerated, and the
opinion prevails that the complaint will
be reduced TO a charge of assault with
a deadly weapon. and of course a CORE
spending reduction in the amount or bail,
pending a trial by jury
Never before has a criminal DroSecu-
ton in Cache county developed as much
neighborhOod jealousy as was shown in
this case The defendant is a resident or
Wellsville and Wedding is from Hyrum.
Scores of people from both towns attend
ed the trial as witnesses in behalf of either
the defendant or the accused. Very
many of the prominent men of the coun-
" took the witness chair TO testify TO the
character and reputation of the princl-
nails in the affair. Much of the teSu-
mony of the Wellsville witnesses went TO
the point of proving that Wedding
reputation for peaceable disposition and
orderly conduct was bad while the wit
nesses from Hyrum contended that MS
reputation was fair.
Simpson was given an excellent CHAR
acter by his witnesses He did not teSu-
fy in his own behalf. except to exhibit
marks on his body alleged to have been
caused by the defendant throwing rocks
at him. Not until after he was Knocked
down he said. did he use the knife, ana
this the defense claims was the provoca-
ton for assaulting Wedding.

The Veteran Artillery association of
the Nauvoo legion held its annual ex-
cursion to Calder's park yesterday
there, and everyone imagined himself
boy again, marching along to the
strains of a martial air.
Even the grounds had military ap-
pearance. At the north end of the lake
there was stationed an old muzzie-
loading cannon, commonly known as
"Old Sow" which was at New Orleans
during the war of 1912. and which was
brought over the plains in AZ Stacked
alongside OF it were some of the old
guns which have seen service IN many
an Indian fight.
The sports of the day were in charge
OF veteran Samuel Allen. and right
well were they handled. There was a
race first over a fifty-yard course he
tween boys of co. which several of
the boys took part in. The blood of
youth seemed to course again through
their veins and rejuvenate them. for
they ran a good race. Adam Duncan
finished first and was presented with
a shining silk tile.
Then the old veterans not content
with testing their swiftness of foot
held a jumping contest, which was won
by Veteran Entwhistle. a ladies' race
followed and Miss Amy Duncan. a
daughter of the legion, was victorious.
The sports wound up with a bicycle
race between some of the younger gem
Grafton. and William Campbell crossed
the tape
In the evening there was dancing and
moonlight boating, and everyone gave
himself up TO enjoyment. About 200
people went out with the veterans

MAY YET CHANGE HANDS.
Colonel Treweek Negotiating for the
Warm Springs.

That Messrs. Barnes and Byrne are
yet likely to transfer their lease on
the Warm Springs property seems al
most assured. though when questioned
concerning it last night Mr.. Barnes
said that nothing was yet settled re-
garding it. 1t is learned that when Mr..
Peters surrendered his option on the
property last Saturday. Colonel n. Ire
week decided to go after the property
himself, and if successful in securing it
he will eXpend several thousands of
dollars in improvements and make it
one of the finest bathing establish
ments in the west. 1t is understood,
also, that should Colonel Treweek be
successful in his negotiations he will
also endeavor to secure an additional
ten years on the life of the lease from
the city.

These fatalities resulted from a
pitched battle fought near Little Goose
creek, three miles from Manchester
The feud dates back nearly two
years. On Christmas, 1897, James Phil
pot was killed by Aaron Morris, but
before he died he shot ana killed Will
liam Bundy, a friend Of Norris The
Norrises and Griffins are closely affiliat-
ed. Since then the two factions have
been very bitter. and the enmity has
been aroused recently by the White.
Baker hostilities. The PhilpOts who
are the strongest faction in the noun
tains, number about $50 voters, openly
espoused the cause of the Bankers,
while the GriffinS took sides with the
Whites. The story that reaches here
from Manchester is that Bob Philpot
was arrested this morning by Deputy
Sheriff Wash Thacker.
While very circumstantial in other re-

ly the origin of the trouble, nor give
the reason for PhilpOt's arrest. 1t is
said that while Thacker was taking
PnilpOt's bond the latter was shot
from behind by a member of a crowd
that had gathered. This precipitated
a general fight with Winchesters and
revolvers. which was participated in by
George Granville, Robert and Peter
Philpot and Ed Fisher on one side, and
Aaron Morris, Hugh Griffin, Jim and
Green Griffin on the other.
The battle began at about 9 o'clock,
and waged fiercely for ten or fifteen
minutes. When it was over it was
found that the five mentioned above
had been killed outright. Three OF the
belligerents were seriously wounded.
while Pete PhilpOt was the only one on
either side to escape injury. Gran
vile Philpot is said to be one of the
most seriously wounded. He is a Union
veteran, having lost a leg at Stone
river He is an eX-member of the Ken
lucky legislature, and is said to have
killed three or four men. Ed Fisher.
who is reported dead, was another man
with several hicks in his gun He was
but % years old, but was said to have
killed three men.
The story of this battle caused con-
sternatiOn here, Notwithstanding the
fact that serious trouble has been ex-
pected to break out among the noun
taineers of Clay county ever since the
assassination of Tom Baker several
weeks ago. An effort was at once be-
gun TO secure deputies TO go to the
seat of trouble and attempt to restore
quiet, but up to a late hour in the at
ternoOn there had not been enough re-
sponses to make up a force that would
respect.
The situation at Manchester is de-
plorable. Since morning the place has
been in a state of terror, scarcely any
one daring to venture out of doors.
Business IS suspended, and the resi- |
dents are mOmentarily expecting a re-
newal of hOstilities.
