HAD NO FOUNDATION.
Tribune Story of Operations at Deer
Lodge.


A. W. McCune, when asked yesterday
as to his Deer Lodge operations, said
that no Utah &, Pacific spur would be
built, so far as he knew. from MOdena
to the mines. He pronounced the Trib-
une story to this effect as being en-
tirely without foundation. 1t was stat
ed by the Tribune that the spur would
shoot through canyon a distance of
twelve miles.
As a matter Of fact, there is no can
yon TO shoot through. The wagon road
referred to by the Tribune is so full Of
twists and turns as to make 1t i'm
possible to use it for a railroad grade
Another inaccuracy pointed out by Mr.
1IcCune was the reference to a big
supply store which Mr.. McCune and
w. L. Hoge are reported as having
started.
"That big supply store contains just
$1,000 worth of merchandise" he con-
Guided. TT is owned by z. Y. McCune
of Salt Lake and Ed McCune of Nephi.
and neither Mr.. Hoge nor myself has
any interest in It whatever"

Cart.
The DeseTet News wagon and horse
parted company at a little after
o'clock yesterday afternoon, the horse
going toward the Rio Grande Western
depot as fast as his hOofs could carry
him, and the wagon remaining still.
Before they separated they were going
along peaceably enough on Second
South street, but something moved the
horse to increase his speed and he did
1t so effectually that he ran away from
the wagon. The boy who was driving
the vehicle, Frank Adkins, was thrown
from his seat, but was unhurt. The
fleeing animal was captured near the
Rio Grande Western depot.

Who Sold the Whiskey,

BY the capture of Joe Pete, the In
dian murderer of young Dangberg, the
authorities have only caught the minor
individual in the crime. The real
culprit and murderer is the man who
sold the redskin the whiskey.
Joe Pete, like hundreds of other In
dams, is unoffensive and peaceable
when sober, but when crazed with lie-
uor is a devil let loose. Every In
dian seems to love the red liquor and
when under its influence is not only
liable to commit murder and outrage
among his own tribesmen but the
white man is liable to personal injury
at the crazed hands. Now that Pete is
safely landed in Jail an effort should be
made to get a confession from him that
will land the man that sold the liquor
in prison. The guilt in the case lies as
much with the whiskey seller as with
the Indian.-Cdrson appeal.

Not o Candidate.

Several of the State papers have an
nounced that Judge Mack will be a
candidate for Congressman at the COM
ing election, and in SO doing are igno-
rant of the provisions of the State Con-
stitution. A Judge who is elected to
preside over any court in this State
capnot accept or be a candidate for
any Office other than judicial one
during the term for which he is elected,
though he may resign before his term
expires. For instance, if a Judge is
elected and serves a month or a year,
and resigns, he could not accept a no.
taryshio until the term for which he
had been elected had expired. The
only Judge on the Supreme Bench
who could be a candidate for any of
flee at the coming election would be
Judge Bonnifield, whose term expires
year hence.
Article VI, Section II of the Consti-
tuition says: The Justices of the Su-
preme Court and the District Judges
shall be ineligible to any office, other
than judicial Office, during the term
for which they shall have been elected;
and all elections or appointments Of
any such Judges, by the people, legis-
latdre or otherwise, during said period,
to any Office, other than judicial, shall
be void.
A representative of the Enterprise
asked Judge Mack if there was any
truth in the item going the rounds of
the press that he was to be candidate
for Congressman and his Honor replied
that there was not, for three reasons;
First, he was too poor, second, he was
ineligible; and third, he did not want
the Office of Congressman.
