in 1866, his parents being James II. and
Sabina Hart. While a boy he was ap

trade, but eventually forsook it to at

he graduated in 1887, being valedictor-
ian of his class. Among his classmates
were Lieutenant Henry 5. Pearson, u.

During his stay at college he concluded
to enter the legal profession, and, ac-
cordingly took a course at the Ann Ar

FASTENING CRIME ON COANORS
PROVO OFFICERS BELIEVE THEY
HAVE sTRoNG'S MURDERER.
Various Theories of the Crime That
Have Been Exploded-Evidence
That Indicates Connor's Guilt.
tspecial CORRESPONDENCE

! Provo, June 30.-The excitement In
Provo is gradually dying out. For three
/ days the whole town was upset; eX-
cited men and boys filed the sheriff's
office from morning till late at night,
and little knots of citizens held all the
corners down, all anxious to expatiate
upon his theory of the murder of Mon
day night Now things are quiet again,
and the weary Willies" are not seen
any more marching toward the court
house in front of two rifles and followed
| by crowd of small boys.
The general sentiment of the people
at large is that the murderer OF Of
| ficer Strong has escaped, and VIII
never be found. However the officers
are still working hard on the case, and
are today more sanguine of success ul-
timately than they were two days ago.
Every clue so far obtained points to
one man, Frank Connors. Around him
the net is being drawn. Connors had
soWe companions on arriving in Provo.
WHAT became of them is not known.
However. descriptions of them have
been wired over the state. and they will
probably be apprehended. 1t will De
remembered that this man Connors got
off the midnight freight at this place
last Monday. 1t was thought he mad
three comrades, but now 1t is believed
there were but three IN all. Inc gen
eral opinion of the officers is that these
men were arrested by Strong. They
evidently thought they were being ar
rested for burglary at Schofield Ito
which burglary ConnOrs has since con-
fessed), and being desperate characters,
would rather kill their captor than TO
take long term in the state prison.
This theory has taken a firm hold on
the officers minds, and along this line
they are working. Tuesday a man was
scared up between here and Springviile.
Guns were leveled at him, but he ran
like a deer and under cover of some
brushwood, got away. Posses from
Provo and Springville went after him,
but he has never been found. This EEL
low, it is believed was one of Connors'
partners But who the other partner
was is a problem. He cannot be To-
acted.
1t was thought at the first blush that
the murderer was negro, but that
idea is now given up. There was
desperate black negro near p V. juno
ton on the 18th inst, who held up
freight train crew, and rode some dis
lance. 1t was believed he came on to
Provo and did the deed. but the officers
have given up the belief that he was
connected with ii.
There was another negro who was ar
rested in Lehi that caused some excite
ment and strong feeling here. But there
is nothing that can be brought against
him.
Conductor Brady and the train hands
will probably be brought here again,
this time to see ConnOrs.

DAMAGE SUIT AT NEPHI.
Two Gases Against Tintic Mining
Companies.
Especial to The IIeraId.)

Nephi. June SO.-In Judge Higgins court
this morning at 10 O'Clock the damage case
of w. S. Frank against the Bullion-Beck
& Champion Mining cor~oany was resum-
ed. The plaintiff claimed to be injured in
the back: that he was permanently dis
abled and practically unable to lift any
thing heavy or do any kind of heavy work
George Westervelt the attorney for the
defendant. made his principal fight on the
ground that there was no injury to speak
of sustained by the plaintiff, even con-
ceding that the defendant was neSli-
gent.
The jury apparently took the same view
of it. and after being out about an hour
and a half. returned with verdict of no
cause of action.
The case of Mrs. Wilhelmina FRANKIE
against the Eureka Hill Mining company.
also an action for personal injuries, was
called and jury very quickly empanelled
and two witnesses examined. The plain
tiff sues to recover $4,000 as damages, al
legged to have accrued by reason of per
sonal injuries received by her from Slip
ping and falling on a county road. The
accident she claims, was directly due TO
the flooding of the road by mud or shines
coming from the defendants mill. The
case will probably be finished by tomor-
row noon.

casting about for a way to raise MONS
10 defray the expenses Of the demo'stra-
ton they hit upon the plan of ch argin~
10 cents admission to the tabernacle
square which has always been a place
of public resort. Chairman Martineasi
of the committee in charge of the
grounds, refused to grant them the per
mission to charge admission to the
grounds. for the reason that he deemed
II wrong to charge people for the pTivi-
lege OF going upon the grounds which
they maintain by voluntary contribution.
He sugguested that some other way of
raising funds be devised, but the COM
mittee became obstinate and this morn
ing it is given out that the other mem
bers of the tabernacle committee,
Messrs. s.. NJ. Molen and Isaac Smith,
have been prevailed upon to reverse Mr..
Martineau's decision, not because the
NJ |. A. committee wants to arrange the
celebration, but because 1t wanted TO be
vindicated. The consensus of opinion
seems to be that Mr.. Martineau Is
right.
