Disappcared-surrende of the Island
of Cuba to the Americans.

Gen. Brooke soon after taking COM
mand of the American troops in Cuba
issued an order that the Cuban insur-
gent army would in no way be recog-
nized during the evacuation of Havana
The Cubans became greatly excited.
They stood on every corner discussing
the situation in a half frenzied man
ner. The Cuban peace commission
after stormy interview with Gen.
Brooke telegraphed Gen. Gomez not to
come to Havana, as he intended as no
courtesy could be shown him. They
said: eve have not fought for change
of masters We have fought for liberty
and not a new ownership. Our army
is still in the field. They shall not lay
down their arms until we find out
whether we are to be slaves or free"
1t was reported that Gen. Mariana
Menocal and his Cuban forces at La
Paya have been asked to take the oath
of allegiance to the United States and
have refused. The news that Cuban
soldiers had refused to take the oath
OF allegiance was cheered by the
crowd. The United States flag was
town down from many houses in the
lower districts OF the city. The Cuban
| leaders are doing everything possible
to prevent any outburst, but say that
| if Gen. BroolSe's arbitrary command is
carried out they will be helpless.
Judge Advocate Charles Gould of the
| American commission cabled President
Mckinley that there is intense uneasl-
ness in the situation and advising that
the Cubans be permitted to participate
in the evacuation ceremonies.
Later-After carefully considering
the situation the Cuban officers agreed
to postpone any attempt at a demon
stration and convinced the popu!acC
that the Americans would fully recog
nizc them in due time.

A COUNTESS REVENGE,
she Called Her Hated Rival to Her
Deathbed and DisnsuteN Her
for Life.

A tragic story of feminine revenge
comes from Vienna. The count and
countess Napodano lived happily to-
9gether until the count fell in love with
the daughter of the local doctor, Con-
cctto Devajo by name, a charming
young girl of IS years. The count de-
serted his wife and eloped with Con.
cetta Devajo. The Countess Napodano
obtained q divorce from her husband,
who then married Concetta. Two years

Concetta returned to MatuggacciG The
former Countess Napodano was now
on hcr dCathbed. She sent message
10 the Countess Concctta that she would
like to see her before she died. The
countess, wishing to humor the wishes
OF the dying woman, went to see her.
The invalid asked her TO stoop and kiss
her. AS TIE fresh young face of her
rival came near her own the dying
woman raised herself, and by an almost
supcrhuman effort bit piece clean out
Of Concctta's cheek and mouth, then
fell back dead, with contentcd smile
on her features. Concetta was dis

ever since 1872, came in on the stage last
night on his annual visit to Look into his

Lloyd Thomas of Rock Springs came in

ton of the road, which, it is believed.
will be of mutual benefit to both sections.
Mr.. Thomas states that the Union Paci-

construct a bridge over Green river at

necessary will be a united movement on
the part OF the Ashley and Rock Springs

Waterworks Injunction Case Argued
In Supreme Court.
TAKEN UNDER AMUSEMENT
IMPORTANT RULING ON STAT
UTE OF LIMITATIONS.
Supreme Court Holds That if Com
plant Is Filed Within Limit of
Time Action Is Not Barred, Al
though Summons MavsNot Issue
Till Long After.

The injunction case of w. A. Nelden.
J. E. Dolly and NJ. H. Walker against
Mayor. Clark and the city council was
argued on appeal from Judge Hiles'
court yesterday in the supreme court.
The argument of appellants the - --H-
and the council, was presented by City
Attorney Hall, whAe Attorney reAs1
b. Stephens, who was retained last
summer through the efforts of F. A.
Hale, a member of the board of public
works, made the argument for the
three who sued out the writ of injunc-
ton.
This is the case wherein Mr.. Nelden
and his Republican associates obtained
an order from Judge Hiles restraining
the superintendent of waterworks from
proceeding with the work of improving
the pipe distribution system, for the
expense of which the council appropri-
ated about $4,000 NOTWITHSTANDING
that the city engineer was given in
spection and supervisory charge of the
work, the board of public works. of
which the city engineer is chairman.
contended that it should have full
charge. letting it out by contract. The
petitioners fer the restraining order
went into court with the boards con-
tention.
The main point in the argument of
appellants counsel was that under
valid ordinance the council has the
power TO order the work done in the
manner determined upon, while re-
spondents' counsel maintained that the
municipal charter gives to the board
of public works sole authority to have
performed public work of the kind in
issue. the council merely originating
and approving.
After argument the case was submit
ted. a decision will not likely be rem
dered for some time.

STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS.
Important Ruling AS to When the
Limit Ends.

! The supreme court yesterday made it
plain that the filing of complaint COM
mences a civil action and that the stat
ute of limitations does not run to the
| time of issuing a summons on COM
plant. The case calling for this deci-
sion is entitled Aaron Keyser. respon-
dent, VS.. Samuel ]. Pollock. appellant.
the opinion affirming the judgment of
the Third district court being written
by Justice Baskin and concurred in by
his colleagues on the bench.
Keyser, the plaintiff, sued Pollock to
recover on a promissory note due Feb.
l. 1892, by filing a complaint in the dis
trict court clerks Office on New. %. 1895
On account of the non-payment in
advance of the clerks fees, the COM
plant bore the endorsement. Don't
issue till fees paid-D. c. d. On Dec.
s. 1897. the summons was issued, and
twelve days after defendants counsel
came into court and demurred to the
complaint on the plea that it was bar
red by the statutory limitation of four
years. At later date defendants at
torney asked leave to withdraw the de-
murrer and object to the sufficiency and
regularity of the summons, through
which. it was set up. jurisdiction of the
case was acquired, but the court denied
the request and judgment was entered
for plaintiff on the pleadings. From
the decision of the lower court the de-
PENDANT appealed.
In summing up the issues the supreme
court opinion stated that failure on
the part of defendant to object to the
validity of the summons by not spec
tally appearing at first for that pur-
pose, constituted a waiver of objection.
Defendant, it was held, had taken a
step in filing the demurrer by which
he got regularly into court, whether or
not process was served upon him.
While the complaint was filed before
the action was outlined the summons
was not issued till after the limitation
expired. but the action was nevertheless
commenced by filing the complaint.
When defendant, the opinion held,
enters appearance in court and demurs
he becomes an active participant in the
action commenced, and by voluntary
submission TO the jurisdiction of the
court invokes an adjudication of the
case. This Pollock did, in the opinion
of the supreme justice. and therefore
the judgment of the lower court was
affirmed.

Pleaded That He Deposited the Check
as Security For Loan-Warrant
From Federal Court.

]. T. Brennan, the young man who
has been representing himself to be an

Judge Timmony yesterday afternoon
and pleaded guilty to obtaining money
under false pretenses, by passing a
worthless check on Tranquillo Dope

Brennan said he signed A. MeLaugh-
Inns name to the check and gave il to

signed McLaughlin'S name. he replied
that the latter owed him money. The

realized on it from Depedrini was
but 50.
Brennan was sentenced to pay fine
of 500 and four months imprisonment.

All that prevented Robert Pemble

In summing up, Judge Hiles adjudged
that Pembie should pay his wife's at

Ephraim. Nov. 1-Some fiend recently

Under the center of the building n
couple of rolls of Excelsior, such as is
used in packing. were placed upon one Of

Joists. but the fellow evidently concluded
that the fire would rot get enough draft
on the north side of the building with
Kerosene. and applied the match where
the blaze would have a chance to climb
the side wall of the building. At this point
the blaze could not be seen until 1t would
be beyond control.
The fire got an excellent start, but for
some reason went out of its own accord.
The pavilion is building 1Go feet long
by forty feet wide. and is packed full of
furniture. stoves and carpets. In the rear
end of the room, Mr.. Greaves also has
about a dozen flee buggies.
Immediately in front of the pavilion

goods and clothing. Adjoining this build
