VICTORY FOR POSTAL
Competing Telegraph Line Gains
Another Point by the Cali
fornia Decision.

BY next spring the Postal Telegraph
company Will have a line into Salt Lake
City, according to Judge o. W. Powers,
local counsel for that corporation. The
decision of the United States circuit
court of appeals. given in yesterdays
Herald, clears the way for the advent
of the new company.
This decision affirms the right of the
Postal company to build its telegraph
line along the Oregon Short Line rail-
road in Idaho from the Utah state line
to the Montana state line" said Judge
Powers yesterday. ''It establishes a
precedent which means decisions in our
favor in the Montana case now pend
ing, which involves the construction
of our lines between the Idaho Mon
tana state line and Butte. The Utah
supreme court has decided a case Civ
ing the Postal the right to build from
Salt Lake to the Utah-Idaho state line.
Thus the legal battle has been won.
giving this company a right to con-
strict a line between Salt Lake and
Butte, where a connection will be made
with the transccntinental line. Salt
Lake will then have competing tele-
graph companies. with the resultant
advantages in rates and service.
LAS soon as the decree in this case
is received and the Montana case dis
posed of, the company will push the
work of constructing the line between
Salt Lake and Butte
THE company will next take up the
fight necessary TO build along the
Union Pacific between Ogden and
Omaha. with a line between Cheyenne
and Denver A case is now pending
Ak Ogden which involves the right of
way along the Union Pacific between
ogden and the Utah Wyoming state
line. AS the Utah supreme court has
established the precedent in a similar
case in our favor, we have no question
as to the outcome

SUSTAINED THE MAYOR
Council Refuses to Pass Hack
Stand Ordinance Over the
Veto of the Executive.

The first thing considered at the
council meeting last night was Mayor
Thompson's veto of the ordinance des-
ignating sections of certain streets in
the business sections as hack stands.
Accompanying the veto and explaining
1t was an oTiniOn from City Attorney
stephens to the effect that the ordl-
nance was invalid
Mr. Stephens held that the council
had no authority to impose burden
on one set of abutting property owners
and allow others to go free The coun-
ell could prevent hacks from standing
in certain localities, but it could not
say they must stand at any designated
paints The attorney suggested that
the ordinance of 1892, which designateS
sections of Third West, South Temp le,
First South and State streets as hack
stands, be repealed This ordinance
also gives property owners the right
to consent that hack owners shall
stand in front Of their premises The
council unanimously sustained the veto
of the mayor and referred the opinion
of the attorney to the municipal laws
committee
Fire chief Devine reported that he
had discharged Joel Barlow from the
service for abandoning his post Of
duty. The matter went to the fireGom
mittee The chiefs appointment of
Rufus Smith as fireman to fill va
cancy was confirmed.
Chief Hilton announced that he had
appointed Gideon A. Gibbs and II. II.
Harrison as special policemen without
pay from the city. The appointments
were confirmed.
A. S. Brown asked permission to re-
place the battered street intersection
signs with entirely new ones at his
own expense. He stipulated that his
signs be allowed to remain In place
ten years. Mr.. Brown did not give any
idea as to how he proposes to profit
by his philanthropy. The petition was
referred to the committee on streets
There was somewhat protracte1
wrangle between Canning and the rest
of the council as to his right to do as he
pleases with an appropriation of S1,OC0
for the Improvement of the streets in
the Second precinct. The matter was
finally settled by a reference to all the
councilmen from the Second.

JONES Is DISCHARGED
Charge of Attempted Murder at
Sandy Not Supported by
the Evidence.

Because County Attorney Christensen
deemed the evidence of the prosecution
insufficient to warrant a conviction,
the charge of administering poison with
intent TO kill, which has been hanging
over Joseph Jonas since Sept. q, was
dismissed last evening at Sandy by
Justice Marriott. Two weeks ago this
evening Jonas stopped his friend,
Charles Larson, a smelted employee, on
the highway near Sandy and induced
him to take drink from bottle which
was said to contain blackberry brandy.
Immediately after Larson, according to
his statements, tasted something bitter
in the liquor and becoming very i'll he
believed that an attempt had been
made to poison him. Until the next
morning he suffered intensely with
eonvulsions.
At the preliminary trial yesterday
afternoon the prosecution took the tes-
timOny of the complaining witness,
Messrs. Vincent and Layne, the saloon
men who sold the liquor to Jonas, Mrs.
Schmidt, the druggist from whom the
defendant bought strychnine on two
recent occasions and DR.. Robertson,
who attended the sick man. The de-
PENDANT admitted that he had given
Larson the bottle to drink frc-e, but
denied knowledge of any poison being
in it. He explained the purchase of
strychniEe by saying that he used 1T to
kill rats and mice around his house.
The prosecution had been relying
upon the report of Chemist Harms to
show that the brandy contained either
strychnine or choral hydrate, hut a
thorough analysis of the remaining
liquor in the flask failed to reveal the
presence of any deadly poison. This
fact and the lack of proof to show
any motive that Jonas might have had
to do great harm to Larson determined
the prosecution to dismiss the case
against Jonas.
Attorney James NJ. Hamilton de-
tended the accused man. Sheriff Naylor
took Jonas down to Sandy for trial and
liberated him as soon as the justice

TRAVELLER HAS FIGHT
WITH A VICIOUS BULL

Evanston, Wyo., Oct. George King,
a man travelling overland through the
country. was attacked by a vicious
bull near Cumberland one day last
week and slightly injured. The hull
charged directly at King, who was
armed with a double barrel shotgun.
AS the animal approached King emp
tied one barrel. hitting the bull in the
head and putting one oye out of serv-
ice.
Although the animal was nearly
scalped he renewed the attack and
gored King around on the ground. At
the first opportunity the traveller fired
another shot, whereupon the bull trot-
ted off
But for the fact that the bulls horns
were turned on the ends King would
probably have been killed
