SALT FIGHT REACHES
SHOT GUN STAGE
Inland Force Driven Back by
Syracuse Men.
MADE A MIDNIGHT RAID.
DISPUTE OVER TITLE TO SALT
LANDS.

The strained relations that have ex-
listed between the Inland. salt. company
and the Syracuse Salt company for The
past ten or twelve months precipitated
rather sensational climax Monday
midnight on the salt pans north of
Pennington. A party OF thirty labor
ers. which had gone to the scene under
orders from the Inland company to
I'll in a ditch being operated by the
Syracuse combination, met with shot
gun opposition. and was driven from
the field by Whistling gun-shot. The
guns were, 10 is alleged. ia the hands
OF James Chesney and George Payne
of this city, who are, or were, working
the Syracuse claims
AS neither Mr.. Chesuey nor Mr..
Payne was in the city last evening.
{ their side Of the story could not be OBJ
Ialneq, but from the accounts given
by the Inland company and others less
interested, it appears that the trouble
was the result of a lOng-standing dis
pute over the title to a certain piece Of
ground the other side of the DAVIS
county line This ground has been
worked for several months by Mr.
Chesney and his associates, who formed
a company abGut one year ago. The
Inland people claim the title to the
ground, and maintain that the maps of
both companies show -COncIusiVely+ that
the property belongs to them manager
y. vs. Clayton notified Chesney. some
time ago that he must Vacate. or the
matter iWo6ld. be taken into the courts,
The warning was ignored, and shortly
afterWard the Inland company made
application 70 the court for a writ Of
ejectmeut, but failed TO secure it. The
next step was the Inland company s
attempt 70 arrest Chesney and his men
for malicious mischief, alleging that
some property belonging to the Inland
comEany- in that hborhood had been
destroyed by them. The county at
torney Of Davis county refused 10 take
insufficient evidence to make a case.

AUGUST SALES WERE SLOW.
Unattractive Offerings and Bad

Weather Kept Bidders Away.
There was little doing at the Court
House. sales yesterday morning. The
offerings, in the first place, had not
been very attractive to prospective bid
ders, and, in the second place, heavy
shower came up about the time the
sales would otherwise have been in
good progress and dampened the per-
sons and the enthusiasm of the MEM
bers of the audience, assembled to lis
ten to the witchery of the auctioneers'
eloquence.
But few pieces of property were sold
and none of these was of large value
or special importance. Some of the
property that had been advertised was
withdrawn, either because the bids made
were not high enough or because the
auctioneers decided it would be better
to postpone the attempt to make sales
until some other day, even before they
had placed the property under the
hammer.
The principal sale was that of the
property on the north side of Bay
street, between Lincoln and Haber-
sham, consisting of lots and 4, War

James Ray, and was knocked down for
$4,000.
Messrs. Youmans e. Demmond sold
the Union Terminal Station Company
a Not in one of the sub divisions of
Springfield plantation for $222.21. The
house numbered 503 Jones street, east,
with the lot upon which it stands, was
put up for sale by Messrs. Youmans &
Demmond and knocked down to Mr.. j.
r. Cain for $4,000. A 60-foot lot at the
corner of Montgomery and Thirty
ninth streets was bought in by Mr..
George j. Baldwin, the price paid be-
ing $1,700.
Five lots on Waters road, between
Thirty-fifth and Thirty sixth streets,
were sold by Mr.. C. H. Dorset, the
price obtained being 800 for each lot.
Mr.. Dorset had a number of other lots
in the same locality which had been
advertised for sale, but these were
withdrawn. He sold a lot of land at
Thunderbolt for 500.
Altogether the sales were not salts
factory and were so pronounced by the
property experts who attended them.
The conditions were all against the
sales and they suffered, both in extent
and in prices obtained for offerings on
this account.
