BUCKEYE DIFFlCULTIEs.
Briant y. Young Discharged ON the
Contempt Proceedings.

Briant s. Young, former secretary OF
the Buckeye Mining Company, ap-
peared before Judge Cherry today TO
show cause why he should not be pun
ished for contempt, In falling 10 COM
ply with an order Of the court hereto
fore made. requiring him to deliver to
Thomas Il. Taylor the present secre-
tary, the stock certificate books OF the
Buckeye company.
The citation was the result Of an az
fidavit filed by Mr.. Taylor before Judge
Cherry last week, setting forth that
evidence was available tending to show
that Young had admitted to two per
sons that he had not delivered the
stock certificate book TO the new sec
rotary. The additional testimony was
offered By Messrs A. T.. Hyde and ].
w Fox. Jr.. who stated that the day
Young told them the stock certificate
book was missing they asked him what
books had been taken and his answer
was only the stock ledger and minute
book"
Secretary Taylor testified that from
an examination OF the stock ledger OF
the Buckeye company he discovered
that the defendant had made an over
issue Of 63.7ii shares Of stock. He SAID
It was impossible TO conduct the com
pany's business without the certificate
book; that he was unable TO transfer
the stock OF the corporation without
recognizing the illegal stock Issued by
the defendant. He further stated that
the defendant as secretary had not
posted the stock ledger for period OF
seven months
The defendant took the stand and
said all the books In his possession he
turned over to the comDany's officers
last October. lie had not seen the
stock certificate book since then,
neither had he any knowledge as 10
where It was now. He was not trying
TO conceal the book. II had left his
possession and that was all he knew
about II.
Attorney ]. II. Moyle asked Mr.,
Young II he was not insolvent.
Young-No, ] don't consider that |
am.
Moyle-What are your assets?
Attorney Edwards, representing the
| defendant. objected TO this line OF ques-
tioning, but the court oyerruled the OBJ
lection.
Edwards--Well. wen almit at this
time that the defendant Is insolvent.
Moyle-we don't care whether you
admit II or not; what ] am trying 10
get Is the information from the defend
ant himself
Judge Cherry held that the admission
made by defendants counsel was suf'
ficient.
In ordering the defendants dlscharg,
the court said the evidence was moi
sufficient on which to hold the defend
ant for contempt.
Attorney Moyle. after court adj
journed, intimated that he would in
stltute criminal proceedings against Mr.
Young.

1T is UNJUST TREATMENT.

Logical, Natural aud Just
Conclusion.

United states Senator Jos, l.. Raw
Inns arrived here from Washington TINS
morning. being In good health and splr-
It's. The Senator was seen at his resi-
dence by representative Of this news
paper this afternoon and expressed
himself upon matters which are OF pres
ent great interest to the people Of Utah
and the United states. AS to Puerto
Rico. Senator Rawlins said;
II think. with very many people In
the United states, that the action OF the
Republican majority in Congress Is
great surprise and a departure from
what could reasonably be expected TO
be our treatment OF that island. They
were promised like rights, privileges
and emoluments with citizens OF this
country. The Puerto Rcans have With
drawn their allegiance from Spain and
have deprived themselves Of political
and commercial privileges with that
country. SO far they have been ac-
corded none Of the rights which they
had every reason 10 expect and which
In good faith We are bound to give
them. Isolated as they are from the
marts OF all the world, they
have met with other disasters
and have been brought TO
a most deplorable situation, some Of
them actually starving, yet. strange to
say. the Republican party-at least that
part Of 1t which is in power In WASH
| lnRton-seems determined 10 perpetuate
the wrong. And this wrong Is justified
In order to maintain whax the Repub-
leans call a principle. and that is that
/ the Constitution and its safeguards
| cannot obtain In any Of our new pos
sessions. II IL like the old pretext put
forth by George Ill. when he taxed
the colonies and proposed 10 sustain
the principle OF British sovereignty.
The Election.
"As 10 Judge King His election
ought to be assured. II IL the natural
logical and proper thing 20 do. He Is
we'll known In Washington. Is popular
and will be welcomed by all without re-
gard to politics. He Is, as he was, able
to represent Utah with honor to him
self and credit TO the state. His cleo
ton will Indicate that the people OF thi'
state are true 10 themselves as wei
as to the best interests OF Utah.
Personally have no objection TO MT
Hammond. but 1t Is my opinion that Mr.
King should be elected by a handsom'
majority"
