nor Smith. Welcome, the defendant
in the case, was practically lost fac
tor in the proceedings today. and the
scope of the examination widened out
into general discussion of matters
leading up to the alleged bribery case
of the last legislature.
John r. Toole. a mining expert, and
for several years in the employ of the
Anaconda company, and said to be one
of the leading men of the DAILY faction,
was the most important witness. The
prosecution sought to show by this wit
ness that there was no Dreconcerted
effort on the part of the so-called Daily
faction to defeat Clark for the senate,
while the defense on cross-eXamination
sought to develop the existence of a
conspiracy or combination to prevent
Clark'S election.
State Senator Clark testified and
made explanation of his business and
other relations with the several wit
nesses who testified to his bad charac
ter Yesterday Witness was asked if
he had received a check from Mr.. DAILY
for 5000, and said he had. but ex-
plained that it was in payment for the
sale of a newspaper in Madison county.
which sale the witness had negotiated.
Clark's Good Reputation.
Henry Filing. a banker of Virginia
City. testified to the good character Of
State Senator Clark. Governor Smith
testified that the reputation of Clark
for truth and veracity was good. Judge
Parker testified to the same effect.
Colonel W. +. Sanders also considered
Clark's reputation as good. Several
other witnesses testified to Clark's good
character
Andrew j. King. treasurer of Flat
80 r1,<r oh
acter of Clark. but on cross-examina-
ton said he had heard a great many
persons say his reputation was bad and
that they would not believe him under
oath.
John r. Toole was questioned as to
the charges that he, DAILY. Whiteside
and others entered into a conspiracy to
spring the bribery exposure for the
purpose of accomplishing Clark's de-
feat He denied that there was such a
conspiracy. The attorneys for the de-
fense questioned the witness on nearly
every point relating to factional fights
in the Democratic party and covering
every political convention during the
history of the state.
Denies Conspiracy.
The witness in general way denied
the existence at any time of a con-
spiracy to defeat Clark. and thought
that sIarcuS DAILY was not so strongly
Identified with the politics of the state
as was generally believed.
When asked about DAILY and others
conspiring to put 100000 in Whiteside's
hands for the exposure and Clark's de-
feat, witness said:
Il cannot find words too strong to
repudiate that
Toole denied any arrangement with
Whiteside for getting up an exposure.
Several attempts were made to inject
the political features of the state cap
ital contest into the case, but the court
decided that such testimony was irrel-
evant.
Two more witnesses are to be ex-
amined tomorrow morning, and then
an early decision is expected. 1t is
not believed that there will be any
extended argument of the case before
the court.

DAY AND NIGHT BY BOERS
Attempt to Take The Town By Assault Was Re.

He Refused to Leave Wounded Behind.

! tested step by step. The Beers are
seemingly swarming south of CoIenso.
While a large force has come from the
neighborhood of Ladysmith. a much
larger force has arrived from else
where, and will probably turn out to
aid General Schallxburger' corps.
The Beers evidently are straining
every nerve and bringing up every
man to reduce Ladysmith before the
British relief force is ready Their Op-
erationS southwark show considerable
boldnesS and correctness of strategy
If their aim is TO isolate Estcourt by
cutting off communication with the
Mooi river. where there is an important
railroad bridge, everything points TO
the belief that the officer commanding
the relieving column viii have a more
difficult task than is generally assumed.
In front he will have a broad river to
cross in the presence of the Beers. and
on his right and probably in the rear
will be hostile bodies who are cOntinu-
ally demonstrating their superior cum
ming.
The official account of the disaster to
the Estcourt armored train, showing
that 100 missing men are now probably
on their way to Pretoria to swell the
large number of British prisoners al
ready there. besides a score OF wound
ed, demonstrates, it is claimed. that the
odds, as all accounts agree that the
small British force fought with the
utmost bravery.
Winston Churchilrs brilliant be-
havior is compared with the gallant
action in the Tirah campaign which
won Lord FincaStle, there also acting
as a newspaper correspondent, the Vic
toria cross. The railroad men of Est
court have already forwarded dis
patch to the general manager of the
railroad, expressing admiration for the
cOclness and pluck of young Churchill.
to whose efforts they attribute the saw
ing of the engine and tender and the
wounded, and asking the manager to
convey their admiration for the brave
man.
There are rumors of another disaster
to an Estcourt train, and il is reported
that twenty-five volunteers who
formed the escort are missing. There is
no confirmation of the reports
When definite news. from Ladysmith
is available, it viii doubtless be found
that the garrison has been having a
lively time Nevertheless, not much
credence should be paid to the stories
of trainloads of Boer wounded taken
toward Pretoria as the result OF a
crushing defeat sustained at the hands
of the British. Experience has shown
that those Kaffirgrams. even though
emanating from missionaries, are not
trustworthy. However. there seems no
doubt that there have been some sharp
affairs. Heavy rife firing, followed by
an explosion. was heard in the direc-
ton of Ladysmith before daylight
Thursday. indicating a surprise and
possibly the explosion of a magazine.

The authorities OF the Mormon
church are planning a project that will
convert tie most unattractive block in
the business district of the city into
one Of the most beautiful spots in the
state and before the end of next year
Salt Lakers may expect to not only see
two new handsome buildings on the
block now occupied by the church
offices and the Deseret News, but the
greatest landmarks of Utah-the Lion
and Beehive hOuseS-consolidated and
put 10 use as great Aotel
a Great Undertaking.
While the project is but a continue
ton OF the progressive policy adopted
by President Snow, it constitutes the
biggest undertaking in the history Of
the church, with the exception of the
erection of the Salt Lake temple. 1t
means the revision o. a whole block
the cutting OF d street through from
South Temple TO North Temple, the eX-
9enditure of about 100000 in building
improvements, $4,000 more in the ac-
quirement of property, and = few
thousand additional in making a grand
public park and furnishing a hotel.
1t is proposed 10 run a north and
south street through the exact center
of the block named, midway between

moved into its new quarters than the
work OF tearing down everything ON
the west half Of the block thus divided
will begin.
Presidents Official Residence.
That completed, the erection of an
official residence fer the president of
the church and a church Office building
will commence The two costly struc-
tures viii stand in the center of the
grounds. which viii be parked on all
sides. The lawns Will De beautified
with fountains and shade trees and the
park viii be perfectly open to all Wis
itcrS. Entrances Will be made from
each corner of the block, and graveled
dr;veways will be laid around the
buildings. The scheme Will be carried
out along the same lines as adopted at
the city end county building. and while
the cost of maintaining the park will
be quite heavy, it is believed much
more revenue than will be needed for
this purpose can be derived from the
proposed hotel.
In order to carry out the plan, the
church will have to purchase several
pieces of property on North Temple
