EAGAN FOUND GUILTY
Dismissal from the Army Is the
Verdict of the Court-Martial.
No Mercy Is Rccomme nded-President
May Institute an Inquiry Into
the Mental Condition of
the officer.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-Dismissal from
the military service Of the United
States without any recommendation for
clemency is the verdict passed by the
court-martial upon Commssary Gen
eral Eagan for his recent virulent at
tack upon Maj. Gen. Miles. The verdict
was reached within AS minutes after
the trial ended Friday. Gen. Eagan,
according to the verdict, is guilty, on
account of his vile language before the
war investigating commission, of con-
duct unbecoming an officer and gen
tleman and conduct prejudcial to good
order and military discipline.
Notwithstanding the nature of the
courts conclusions, the president can
exercise clemency if he so desires, and
Gen. Eagan's friends will urge that his
punishment be confined to relieving
him from the duties of commssary gen
eral of subsistence and to a detail to
garrison duty, instead of putting upon
him the disgrace of dismissal from the
military service.

Prospect of Medical Inquiry.

The president combines both the par
doning power and the reviewing power
in his own person. lie may take into
consideration, and it is generally be-
lieved he will, Gen. Eagan's mental con-
dition at the time he committed the
offense which the court-martial has
found of so serious a character as to
Justify his dismissal from the service.
With this in view the president may
have good cause to initiate further pro-
ceedings, which would be in all proba-
bility to convene medical board to ex-
anime into his condition of health. On
their finding of serious mental con-
dition the president could, and posi-
bly, will, order Gen. Eagan placed upon
the retired List as being physically in
capacitated for duty.

A Miners Suicide.

Prescott, Ariz., Jan. 25.-Tom
Brown, mining man well known all
over the Pacific coast, co nmitted
suicide last evening about half mile
east of town. The body was found
today. His wife says he threatene d
to commit suicide, but she did not
think he meant it. His body was
found under pine tree, with bull
let hole in the head just behind the
right ear, the pistol still clasped in
his hand, with his finger on the trig-
ger. Deceased was formerly engag-
ed in mining in Virginia City, Phoebe
and Gold Hill, Nevada, and other
places. He came to Arizona about
twenty years ago as superintendent
of the Tiptop mine. He was strick,
en- with paralysis two years ago and
was unable to work; this, with 6nan
cial and domestic troubles, is sup
posed to have prompted him to
commit the act.

UTAH & PACIFIC MAY REACH
THERE BY MAY IST,

The Utah & Pacific is now about
forty-five miles out of Milford. This
leaves but thirty miles to be con-
structed to reach the proposed tel mi
nus at the State line. At the slow rate
of one-half mile day the road could
be completed by May 1st. easily. Six
ty days wonld make the date April
Goth, SO it can be readily seen that
there will be no taouble in finishing
the road by May day.
The contract calls for its completion
by June 1st, but it is understood the
company wishes to finish the work
as quickly as possible, and there is a
possibility that the force will be in
creased to such numbers as to build
mile day. This would finish the
road on April 1st.
The securing of ties has been the
one great obstacle so far and the con,
tractors have experienced great de-
lays in that respect, When the work
of track-laying has languished, how
ever, the force has been going bach
and surfacing up the completed track
so that when the rails are laid
through to the terminus there vii
be little additional work to be done
as the line will be in splendid physi
cal condition for the regular opera
ton of trains.
The order has been made for
more lively and regular shipment o
ties, and if this can be accomplishe,
the word will be given to increase til
force and rush the work through.
Much depends upon th= completio
of the Utah h Pacific, for as soon a
it is accomplished, the other line
Utah, Nevada & California, will stan
to build through Lincoln county
No doubts have been EXPIRE ssed tia
the latter road will be built, but tn
general opinion of all railroad me
interested is to the effect that ther
will be no stopping at the State lin
