BESSIE SMITH ASSAULTED
FRANK BERRY CHARGED WIFE
THE CRIME.
Young Man Declares he Is Innocent
Held Under Bonds of 50, 600
Has Borne Good Reputation.

Frank Berry was yesterday arrested
charged with attempted rape on the
person Of Bessie Smith, a 16year-old
daughter of John S. Smith. The evil
dence against Berry is all circumstan-
tial except that the girl is almost posi-
tive that he was her assailant. The at
tempt was q most dastardly one. The
girl rode up on the street car to the
end of the line, thence walking on east
ward. Some fellow came up behind her
and with an oath and a coarse remark
which revealed his purpose attacked
the girl She resisted and screamed
with all her might. In the scuffie the
girl was pushed over and badly bruised
Her head struck a stone and she partly
lost consciousness, but continued to
struggle and scream desperately. Her
throat and face bear marks Of the
brute's fingers.
Her screams brought NJ. Bostaph and
George A. Craig to the scene and as
they opened their doors the fellow
rushed off.
Mr.. Hughes, the motorman, said
Berry was a passenger on the same car
as the one which the girl went up the
hill in. he getting off about a block
from the end of the line. This first d.
rected suspicion against Berry and
caused his arrest.
The young man has employed +. 7.
HUlaniSki to defend him.
Young Berry has always borne an
excellent reputation, and the charge
against him is not believed by those
VINO know him best. He has been in
the employ Of the ogden Paint Oil &
Glass company for more than ten years.
The manager said he could not for a
moment believe the young man guilty,
and ne further showed hia faith by go
ing on Berry's bond, together with 81
Read
The examination was held yesterday
afternoon, Berry entering a plea of nOt
guilty, and furnishing security for a
bond Of $4,000. He was released
and went home. He was married
about three yeans ago. He accounts for
his presence in that locality by saying
that he went up to see Ed Sticheell
about a matter of business. He said
that he called at the Stichsell house and
knocked, but received no answer. Mr.
Stichsell states that he and his wife
were at home all the evening, but heard
no knock

Only One Shipment Of Any Conse-
quence Was Reported-Outsiders
In Town.

One of the quietest mid-winter weeks
in the history of the local Union Stock
Yards has just passed. With few ex-
ceptiOns all the men interested in live
stock were down in Texas celebrating
the convention victory over the hosts
from Chicago and Kansas City with
internal fireworks and Galveston Oys-
ter bakes. The convention stampeder,
Jim Leary, came in yesterday morning
like a wingless victory and the after
noon hours found him still explaining
how 1t all came about.
The only shipment Of any cOnse-
Quence recorded during the week was
five cars of cattle out Of Halleck, New
by William Hammond to Kansas City
via the Denver & Rio Grande and Bur
lington. The following livestock men
were in town during the week: George
W. Ballantyne, general manager Of the
Union Stock Yards at Denver; Ar
thur Strong of Greeley. Colo: l. J.

sen of Mount Pleasant; Wilfred Day of

OVERCOME BY GAS.
Miner at the Keystone in Critical
Condition.

Especial TO Tho Herald)
Eureka, Jan. 27.-John H. Mccarthy
a miner employed at the Keystone
mine, had a narrow escape from death
today as a result Of being knocked
out" by foul gas. At about II o'clock
this morning he went into a sUope be-
tween the 500 and g00-fOot levels and
began work When he didn't come out
Of the mine for dinner the cage rider
sent a man TO search for him, who, at
ter hunting for him a while went to
work without reporting. Later the
mans absence was reported 30 Fore
man Mike Saumon, and he immedi-
ately sent two men to the place where
Mccarthy had been working. They
found him lying on his back, apparent
ly lifeless, ana after. some trouble sue
Ceeded in lowering him to the 500 level.
Mccarthy was taken TO the surface.
and DR.. Field and a number of work
men labOred 0ver him for about four
hours before he was resuscitated. The
men who rescued Mccarthy were also
overcome by the gas, but recovered
rapidly. At a late hour this evening
Mccarthy, who is thought to have been
in the gas about three hours, Is still
in a critical condition.

To Revise the Scale.

Indianapolis. Ind. Jan. 27.-Tne joint
scale committee Of the coal operators
and miners met again today, but moth
ing was accomplished, as many of the
big operators have gone home TO spend
sunday. The defense fund plan is
gaining ground among the miners. 1t
is thought that If the plan proposed is
perfected, within two months, if no
general strike comes, the national
treasury will have from $3.50 900 10
100000, while Illinois, Ohio, Indiana
and Pennsylvania districts win also
pile up many thousands Of dollars.

New York Jan. 27-The Financier saws:
1 ne New York clearing house banks adj
Geu S3,t5Z510 60 their surplus reserve last
week, making the present excess SIS, 277, =
Si3, Jhe largest reported since the middle
or June 1899 At the former period loans
ana deposits were at about their maxi
num- while the cash holdings were $50
vo-tlJ IN excess OF present supplies. The
banks were then facing the yearly demand
FOR crop purposes, which depleted the re-
serves 70 the vanishing point over the fal
season.. now Win every prospect Of con-
Llnueu gains from the interior, the prob
lem concerns the disposition of this ex-
cess cash rather than the contraction of
loans to meet the heavy call for money
elsewhere.
1t is fact, however. that the business
OF the banks Is increasing faster than
general conditions seem to warrant Ths
expansion OF Sl5l5,601 in loans during the
past week, in the face of an extremely
inactive stock market. Is not easily ex-
plalred, especially since il follows a gain
Of about Si,500J the previous week The
loan item = therefore over S12 10000
higher than it was two weeks ago, while
stock exchange business in that time has
been extremely dull. How far special
causes have brought this about cannot
no stated. but il is to be said that the
Sain has been distributed over a large
number OF institutions and IS not confined
as with cash gains, etc, to few of the
larger banks.
With reference 20 the latter. the detailed
statement shows that one bank gained
over tw0-thifds Of the cash last week
while its leans remained practically sta
uon&ry- In other words, the reserve of
this institution gained at the expense Of
other members of the clearing house. TIE
increase of Sl5,090 600 in deposits reported
by all the banks is about what the opera
tons Of the week called for. and since
the banks are required 10 carry an addi-
floral reserve OF g. 10000 on the extra
deposits, the gain in reserve is smaller
than indicated by the receipts Of cash.
The influx of currency shows no signs
Of falling of, but il is interesting 70 re-
cal that exactly one year ago the re-
serves Of the banks touched their maxi
mum for the earlier part of the year, and
from that time on. while continued to
pour into New York in large volume, the
expansion in business was such as to
putstTip these accessions, with the result
that the surplus reserve had fallen to
So 00o. 900 at the beginning of April The
boom in the stock market which brought
about this shrinkage is now entirely lack
ing and gives no Immediate sign Of being
at hand.
