QUESTION OF JURISDICTION.
In Which County Did Smith Commit
the Offense?

An interesting question of jurisdic-
ton has arisen in the Smith case. Did
the sending of the packages by express
constitute the crime or the receipt of
those packages? County Attorney
Pike of Eureka said yesterday that
Smith should be tried in Salt Lake
county on the Powers count and in
Juab on the Dow count.
He takes this ground for the reason
that Judge Powers box was actually
delivered to him, while the Dow ma
chine was held up in transit. The fact
that Warden Dow did not receive the
engine of destruction intended for him
will, it is claimed, make a better case
against Smith if he sent it, in Juab
county than in Salt Lake. The reverse
of course is true in the Powers offense.
These questions frequently arise"
said Mr.. Pike, land they are matters
of comfy between counties. l don't
anticipate any disagreement at all.
1t will be remembered that in the
Botkin case, where a box of poisoned
candy was sent through the mails from
San Francisco to Delaware, it was de-
cided that the California courts had
jurisdiction. This, too, Notwithstanding
the fact that the death dealing sweets
actually accomplished their mission.

WOMAN'S MYSTERIOUS DEATH.
Found In a Street In Omaha With
Her Skull Crushed.

Omaha, Aug. pa woman whose
identity is a mystery was found dead
on the pavement on Park avenue this
morning by newspaper carrier. Doc
tors say that she had been dead for
several hours and that death resulted
from a fracture of the skull, evidently
caused by a fall on the pavement.
All that the people who live in the
vicinity knowfebout it is that about IL
o'clock last night they heard a woman
scream and saw a buggy passing, in
which was a man and a woman. The
man was lashing the horse into a run
and holding the woman, who was
standing up and evidently trying to
jump out of the buggy.
There is at present no clue as to the
identity of the dead woman or the man
who was with her. She is well dressed
and evidently a woman of refinement.
The street where she was found is in
the heart of the best residence section
