WILL TAKE UP THE WARDNER
AFFAIR.
Idaho Representatives From That
Section State Their Grievance and
Insist That Some Action Be Taken

It seems the member of the execu-
tive committee of the Western Fedora
ton of Miners, who yesterday informed
The Herald that the Wardner difficult
ty would not be taken up at the con-
yevtion to be held here this week,
reckoned without his host. In fact, he
SO admitted yesterday.
Several of the delegates from that
part of Idaho are now in town, ana
they declare that the federation must
take up the matter While the men
engaged in that affair were not con-
nected with the miners UNIONS THESE
delegates assert it was no fault OF the
men themselves. They were not al
lowed to form a union.
In extenuation of the actions oil the
Wardner miners, the men from thaI
section declare the outbreak was the
result of four years of oppression at
the hands of a corporation winch was
as soulless as it was grasplns.
IT is claimed that until the STANDARD
oil company obtained possession OF the
Bunker Hill property, no suspicion OIL
troubIe had ever arisen between en-
Dlover and employees. When that cor
Ioration got control, wage-cutllhS
commenced. and one indignlty after an
other was heaped upon the men, untH
finally. with no nope Oh ever DeIhS a.

NETWORK OF WIRES.
Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone
Company Branching Out.


Company Branching Out.
There is hardly a buster place in
Utah these days than the headquarters
of the Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone
company on State street, and nothing
furnishes a better barometer for bust
ness conditions in general than the tel
ephone business. The work of extend
ing the companys lines in all direc-
lions and covering Utah with net
work of wires is being pushed with all
possible energy.
New telephones are being supplied in
this city as rapidly as possible. Eight
thousand feet of overhead cables, 100
wires to each cable, is going up to re-
lieve the congested conditions in some
portions OF the city.
One great improvement south of the
city is a central station and switch
board at Robinson. and from this point
will radiate a system of wires to all
important mines of that section. Al
ready there are fifteen subscribers, and
material is on the ground for these eX-
tensions. Heretofore Silver City, Rob-
inson, Mammoth Eureka and other
points were connected with the Salt
Lake line. and anyone could hear the
CO 1munications going over the wires
to ny other. Under the new system all
this will be remedied and business men
can confer between all these points
with perfect privacy.

dissatisfied with the army. ii not being
what his idea of ii should be. He is
not considered able TO judge or form an
idea on anything. He enlisted for &c
years of age about two months ago,
and he is now 81. He imagines that he

North Carolina and the Buckrofolks
are trying to beat him out of it. With
that thought ever tormenting him and
the jollying of his comrades, he tried
to put an end to his existence about u
O'Clock yesterday by shooting himself
through the head.
He placed the muzzle of his rifle I'M

ger, but his arms We're not long enough
to reach it. Before he could devise an

TRIP HANFORD FEUD AIRED
AMUSING FEATURES OF .
NEIGHBOR'S QUARREL.
Judge Hiles Continues the Injunc-
ton Restraining the Hanfords
From Using Their Clubhouse.

There was much fun sprinkled
through the hearing on the Tripp-Han-
ford controversy before Judge Hiles
yesterday. 1t will be remembered that
DIR. Trip brought suit against his
neighbors, the Hanfords, about two
weeks ago, to restrain them from using
a certain Clubhouse placed adjacent 10
his library windows, and TO compel
them to remove certain offensive signs
placed upon the line fence which sep
arates the property of the parties in
controversy at Seventh and @ streets
Mr.. Hanford is a little Englishman,
who follows the profession OF mining.
He is an energetic, red-faced man, with
a gray beard. 1t was evident when he
came on the stand that he has no love
for his neighbors, the Trips. He ex-
planned the removal of the objection
able clubhouse on the ground that he
had sold the strip of land where 1t for
merly stood, and that in all his good
sized piece of property there was no
place to put the clubhouse save ada
cent to the Tripp windows.
Concerning the notices which he post
ed over the Trip lawn, he explained:
I'm miner, and l always put up no
tees when 1 want things done.
Certain electric wires which are at
tached to Mr.. Trips house and cross
his land, he objected to very strongly.
saying that he didn't think they had
any right there and besides. they were
dangerous. He admitted. however, that
they did not come anywhere near any
of his buildings, and were high in the
air. But the men WHO put 'em up
came on my land and they didn't have
any right to-" he said.
Mrs. Hanford's testimony was cor
robOrative of that of her husband.
DIR. Trip said that there had been a
difference of opinion for some years as
to the exact boundary line between the
lots, and that it had engendered con-
siderable ill-feeling. When Mr.. Han
ford moved the clubhouse, he testified
he had demonstrated, and Mr.. Hanford
had remarked that he would fix his
neighbors, or something to that effect.
The case occupied nearly all the
morning, and at its conclusion Judge
Hiles continued in effect the order re-
straning the Hanfords from using the
Clubhouse pending the adjudication of
the rights of the parties to the strip of
land in question.
c. B. Stewart appeared for the Han
fords. and S. H. Lewis and r. 3. Trip
represented DR.. Trip.

Pushing the Work.

Work on the Brigham street extern

officers of the company are averse to
