considerably put ont over the misfor-
tune of his posse at White river. where
the loss of their horses brought them
to a standstill and left them so far in
the rear. He expressed the opinion that
the horses had been run off by the
Utes, in the hope of getting some re-
ward tor their return. What inclines
him to this opinion is the fact that
when a reward was offered a party Of
Utes at once produced several of the
lost animals. Among the horses were
some that were left by the outlaws,
which the officers had laid claim 10 in
the name of the state.
In relating the accident Sheriff
Howells stated that it was night when
the party reached White river, and the
stream was swollen. The crossing was
a dangerous one for the horses. and
as 1t was already dark, it was decided
to wait until morning before crossing
the animals, IS there was great danger
OF drowning the whole outfit. A small
boat was available. by which means
the party crossed themselves to where
food could be procured, after having
hobbIed their tired horses on the oppo-
side side, where feed was abundant
ON the following morning no tree of
the horses could be found, and it is now
Sheriff HOwells opinion that the red
ski worked one of their GA wuses to
obtain few dollars for firewater.
When asked concerning the success
OF the chase, Sheriff Howells expressed
the opinion that it depended in a great
measure upon what response was made
by the wyoming and Colorado people
to the appeals made to. them. If they
were out in force at once after being
wired, the chances Of striking their
trail, ne thought. were favorable. II
once they are located again, he thought
their capture was probable.

Sheriff Howells VIII Start From Yer
nal After Outlaws.
Sheriff John F. Howells and Depu-
ties Harries and Goldman are at Yer
nal making preparations for another
start after the outlaws. A message
received here last evening by Deputy
John Montgomery stated that the three
had reached Vernal very much worn
by their long ride, but all right other
wise. They proposed getting fresh
horses there and go right out again
as soon as they could hear from the
other posses, so that they might CO.
operate with them.
Sheriff Howells asserts that he has
no idea of giving up the chase until
the outlaws are caught or it is clear
" demonstrated that they have es-
ca9ed
Special Deputies o. P. Pratt, Tom
Fowler, Joe Raleigh and Doc Norrell
were to have arrived home from
Thompson at II o'clock last night, but
because of failure to receive their
transportation in time, they were
forced to remain over one train, and
will be in at $3.50 this morning. The
four deputies were on the station plat
form yesterday evening as the train
pulled out.
Speaking of the lost horses last night.
Deputy Montgomery said some of them
must have been recovered to enable
Sheriff HOwells and his two deputies
to get to Vernal. The sheriff, he says,
is confident that TOlliver is on the right
trail, and will overtake the despera-
does.
Deputy Montgomery was expecting
additional and more specific Informal
ton from Vernal late last night, but
at midnight had failed TO get it,

Hot ON TRAIL OF THE OUTLAWS


Continued from Page IL
out that way their trail will certainly
be picked up. There is an impression
among many here that the outlaws
would abandon their horses in Bear
river and hide in the cliffs, where they
may have a cache of provisions fur
nished by confederates. They could
thus disappear. from the earth, as it
were, for weeks, until the chase had
ceased and they could steal quietly
away.
The Vernal posse has as yet seen
nothing of the posses from Colorado
and Wyoming, but it is presumed that
they are guarding the crossing of the
Union Pacific and Browns park. An
other courier is expected here between
now and morning.
Considerable amusement has been af-
! fOrded here by the wild tales told by
the Tribune of the outlaw chase. Men
well acquainted with the country
stand amused at the great feats per-
formed in the columns of that paper.
Vernal. June 3.-Sheriff Howells of
Salt Lake was seen last night by The
Herald representative at the Vernal
hotel, where, in the course of q recital
of his experiences, the Salt Lake Of
! ficer took occasion to offer some criti-
cisms on the conduct Of the chase after
the slayers of Tyler and Jenkins.
Sheriff Howells first called attention
to the fact that the VeTnal posse could
have been at the X ranch on Sunday.
had the call been made when Sheriff
Preece first wired in on Sunday the
news of the killing. A few additional
words to Sundays telegram, and Tolli-
vers posse would have been guarding
all trails Monday forenoon, when the
outlaws passed the X ranch. The tele-
gram Of Monday forenoon was received
here Just about the time the outlaws
| passed through at that point. 1t took
some little time to get the posse to-
gether, and as the 'dugout" where it
was first learned that the outlaws had
passed is thirty miles from heres it
was evening when the posse arrived
there.
Sheriff Howells stated that on arriy-
ing at Thompsons he at once sent out
dispatches to the officials of wyoming
and Colorado. which should also have
been done the day previous.
1t is the Salt Lake officers opinion
that the Vernal posse, wher at the K
ranch, should have recruited from that
point and pushed on the trail, sending a
courier to Vernal for another posse to
cross the mountains to Browns Park
and Powder Springs. Instead, the
posse returned here and lost valuable
time in reforming, as well as losing
the trail, which they took chances on
again finding further north

of a day at the lake, and we feel that
we cannot go to Saltair if the floor is
to be overrun with drunkards and stag
gering children.
What makes the situation more OBJ
nOxious is the fact that the law is
being violated. A man might accept
conditions all right, but to see minors
under the influence of liquor is too
much. The churchNauthorities being in
control of the whole institution, should
see that there is no recurrence of the
rowdy scenes of the opening day They
could remedy the evil by doing away
with the privilege of selling liquor, and
put themselves in an excellent light be-
fore the public. Or if they have tied
themselves up by contract or license,
they should thank the association, rep
resenting the community, for helping
them out of the difficulty"

HARMONY IN NEW YORK.
Convention Tomorrow Is Expected to
Instruct For Bryan.


New York, June At the proceed
ings Of the state convention of the
Democratic party tomorrow are as har-
moniOusly conducted as the meeting Of
the state committee tonight, the C-o-
gramme laid out by the leaders will
slide off very easily.
The committee was in session but a
few minutes. Ex-senator David b.
Hill moved that John T. Norton Of
Troy be named as temporary chair
man of the convention, and it was de-
cided without a dissenting voice. Sec
retaries were chosen, the roll of dele
gates was adopted as a temporary or
ganiZation and the committee ad-
iourned.
The committee on permanent organ
ization viii report to the convention
the name Of Elliott Danforth for per-
manent chairman.
1t is altogether probable that the
platform presented and adopted viii
be as radical as the most ardent adj
miTer Of William Jennings Bryan can
wish The Chicago platform will be
nearly, if not absolutely, endorsed. An
antitrust plank drawn by Comptroller
Coler will be one of the features, and
attention may be called to the fact
that a bill drawn by Democrats and
aiillCu Of Il uolo Ids pCCu DlA LllE statute
books for two years, and never has
been enforced by a Republican admin
istratiOn.
The delegates at-Iarge to be selected
will be: Ex-SenatOrs Murphy and Hill,
Richard Croker and Augustus Van
Wyck. Mr. Van Wycks name was
handled in conversation about the cor
ridors tonight in an unfavorable man
ner, his alleged connection with the ice.
F.~,s,~
ment against him. To these criticisms
the Kings county delegates answered,
saying that Mr.. Van Wyck desired
Z election as a vindication, but that after
his selection we would withdraw IN
favor Of James Shevlin.
Urge Stand For Silver.
Ex-senator Hill has been selected as
the chairman Of the committee on resO-
buttons. and is busy on the draft Of the
platform tonight. being assisted in that
enterprise by ex-senator Murphy Per-
~ Belmont. John +. Carroll and Elliott
Danforth. They had hardly sat down
/ to work before q committee of Chicago
platform Democrats made them a visit
| TO urge that the platform should in no
way be so worded as to fail to give
plainly an endorsement to the national
! issues Of SO. They were not aVerse TO

+ they believed the platform would be

is said tonight, shows a majority most
favorable to Senator Hill. Among the
members are Perry Belmont, Patrick

Resolution For the Boers
EXPOSITION BIIL WINS.
House Passes Appropriation Bill For
st. Louis.

House Passes Appropriation Bill For
st. Louis.
Washington, June 1.-The house to-
day agreed to the senate amendment
to the sundry civil bill appropriating
s., 900. 000 for the Louisiana purchase ex-
position at St Louis There was not
a word of debate on concurrence in
the amendment. 1t was after o'clock
when the matter came up, and owing
to the lateness of the hour and the
overwhelming majority in its favor the
opponents of the fair appropriation did
not make a show of opposition. They
cOnteRted themselves with demanding
a roll call. which resulted 127 ayes to
10 nays in favor of the proposition.
Only four appropriation bills remain
in dispute between the two houses.
Everything, so far as the house is
concerned, indicates final adjournment
on Wednesday.
Says Widows Were Insulted.
Mr.. Mfers Qnd.), as a matter of privi-
lege, moved the adoption of a resolu-
ton of inquiry offered more than a
week ago, calling upon the secretary of
the interior for all reports relating to
the dropping from the pension rolls OF
certain widows. He understood, he
said, that more than thirty widows
have been dropped from the rolls upon
the report of Special Examiner Good
love, who, he was informed, had asked
the widows questions which could not
be repeated in the house. He also was
informed, although he did not believe
it, that the commissioner of pensions
had authorized this infamous line of
questions. The line of inquiry COM
planned of had reference to the char
acter of the widow since her husband S
death.
The motion was lost. IA to 131. This
left the resolution still in possession of
the committee.
Religion Enters Into Debate.
Mr.. Grout Cvt) presented the confer
ence report on the District of Column
bia appropriation bin.
Mr. Fitzgerald (Mass.) criticised the
action of the c0nferees in striking out
an appropriation of 81 500 for the St.
Joseph orphans asylum (Cathohc) in
this city, inveighing against the narrow
religious prejudice which crushed out
these worthy charities because they
were Catholic.
The same sort of legislation" he
said, was enacted in Germany and re-
suited in building up a great Catholic
party there, and if this sort of thing
continued in this country a similarity
may spring up here, although 1 hope
nothing Of the kind win ever be neces-
sary."
The only item still in dispute between
the two houses was the appropriation
of 100000 for the municipal hospital
in this city. This appropriation was
cOncurred in. The bill now goes to the
president.
Mr.. Cannon, chairman of the apprO-
priations committee, then presented the
conference report on the sundry civil
appropriation bill. 1t was a partial
report. covering about two-thirds tof the
items in disagreement. The partial con-
ference was adopted.
