Benjamin Egginton Of Sandy
Secures Release.
STORY OF THE TRAGEDY
BURGLAR FROM EMERY COUNTY
ALSO PARDoNED.

At a meeting of the board of pardons
yesterday two convicts were pardoned.
One was Benjamin Egginton of Sandy,
who was serving six years for volun-
taTy manslaughter, and the other was
j a D2Yle, %gsa y Rs serving an eight
year sentence for burglary.
EggintOn was convicted on Jan. II,
1898, for killing Martin Mock at Sandy
in September of the preceding year. On
the 21st of September 1897, while Egg
CLINTON was doing some work on a house
on some property adjoining a farm
owned by Mock. the latter came along
and began a discussion with Egginton
about some water used for irrigation
purposes. A quarrel was the result of
tne meeting. After some harsh words
had been exchange, Mock departed and
Egglnton ran into his house, returning
with gun, with which he shot Mock,
who died some time after. Egginton
mas proved a good prisoner while con-
fined in the state prison, and this fact,
coupled with the fact that he is very
slckly and his family are in very
strai Shtened circumstances, had great
weight with the board in granting his
application for pardon. Judge Norreil
and Attorney Putnam, who tried the
case, refused to recommend the pardon
though both stated that they would not
oppose it. A petition for the pardon
was signed by 107 citizens of Sandy.
Egginton is a dentist by profession.
Burglar Pardoned.
Doyle, who was sentenced in Emery
county, June 81, 1898, for burglary, was
a partner of w. G.. Smith and Doc
Smith, who were sentenced at the same
time. These three entered a section
house on the Rio Grande Western line
in Emery county, which was occupied
by Cinnamon. and held up the inmates
at the point of six guns. Smith was
pardoned last month, while Mead is
still in jail, though Judge johnson, in
recommending the pardon of Smith,
also. recommended that all three be
pardoned, the reason assigned being
that he thought now that the sentence
imposed was too severe.
The applications of Don Ling Choung,
alias All Jung, alias Little Charley, con-
victed of murder in the first degree, and
Alvro Ady, convicted of adultery, were
taken under advisement for another
month.
The application of William Raymer,
alias L. w. Ray, convicted of polyg-
amy, was dismissed for failure to COM
ply with the rules concerning applica-
tions. He should have applied for a re-
hearing, as he has applied in the past
for = pardon.
The application of Francis Hage-
stead. convicted of murder il the sec
ond degree, was withdrawn for the
same reason that the last was dis
missed.
The application for parole Of Donnell
Addass McMillen, alias Don McMillen,
was DOStDOned

REPUBLICAN CLUB HOUSE.
Woman's Republican, Club Decides to
Build One.

The WOman's Republican club Of
Salt Lake is to be Incorporated and is
to build a club house during the coming
season. This was the conclusion
reached at a regularly called business
Mrs. Rachel Miller yesterday after
aoon-
This was also the regular annual
meeting for the election of officers, and
the following were chosen for the en-
suing year: Mrs. Rachel Miller, presi-
dent; Mrs. A. T. Moody. vice president;
Mrs. Farley White, secretary; Mrs.
Anna Madison Bradley, treasurer, and
Miss Helen Kimball, corresponding
secretary.
After the election the matter of in
cooperating under the laws of the
state was taken up and thoroughly dis
cusSed. The main idea back OF the
move TO incorporate was to enable the
club to buy lot and erect a suitable
club house Finally a committee, made
up of Mrs. Arthur Brown chairman;
Mrs. Rachel Miller, Mrs. Anna Madi-
son Bradley and Mrs. Johanna Martin,
was selected to choose a lot and get an
option on 1t. 1t is me present inten-
ton TO get a lot as near as possible to
the business center of the city, and the
size and character of the building will
depend wholly upon the liberality of
the members of the party who will be
appealed to for subscriptions.
The Incorporation papers will be filed
with the secretary of state next week
and II is expected that a lot will be
decided upon and a definite move made
in the matter of building at the next
meeting, which will be held at the
home of Mrs. Curtis DiehI on Monday
afternoon, April l, at o'clock.

WILL NOT PAY BILL.
Sultan of Turkey Again Avoids Pay
ment of American Claims.

New York. March IA special to
the Times from washington says: The
arrangement by which the sultan OF
Turkey was to pay his debts to the
United States under cover Of the pur-
chase of a cruiser from the Cramps,
has fallen through. The Cramps have
not begun work on the Turkish cruiser
and will not do so. The prime cause
OF the failure of the device so ingen-
iOusly cOntriVed by the sultan was the
shreWd move Of Germany, recorded in
European dispatches last December.
Germany was determined that If the
American claims were paid, hers
should be paid as well. It was i'm
possible to assume that the American
claims would be paid for the sultan
had so cleverly cOntrived the pay
ment that he would be able to reply
to Germany that he was merely buy
ing a, Warship and was not paying any
debts. Germany therefore hanked the
sultan by making her demand, not for
the payment of an indemnity, but for
the payment Of a bill owed to the
Krupp concern for aTmOr before he
bought any more war material.
This move of Germany, it is now
learned. has been completely success
full. The sultan was able to pretend
that he was not going to pay the Amer
lean indemnity, but he could not pre-
tend that he was not negotiating with
the Cramps for a ship. The negotia-
tions with the Cramps therefore had to
fall.

Sig Simon. the proprietor of the Bis

was escorted to the police station last
night on a charge of permitting women

Officers Johnston and Furster discov-
cred three women in the rear of the

When the officer arrested Simon, the
latter objected. declaring that he paid
a license to run a restaurant in his
saloon and consequently had a right to
have women in the restaurant. The
officers found nothing in the room that
would indicate that it was being used
as a restaurant and the saloon man
plea received no consideration.
Simon was allowed to go on his own
rec0gnizance until tomorrow, when p

FIRE WAS A MYSTERY.
Strange Actions of the Manager of
the Company.


Butte, Mont, March ia special to
the Miner from Missoula says: Just
how the fire started is a mystery which
no one seems to be able to explain.
After leaving Plains, the brakeman
passed through the car, gathering up
his night lamps, and at that time
everything was all right. 1t is be-
heved that the cook, Minnie Herst, at
tempted to start fire in the range, and
used kerosene.
Coroner Hayes was notified of the
tragedy and went to the scene of the
wreck, taking collins with him, but the
manager of the theatrical company de-
MED that any of his people had lost
their lives. Even members of the COM
pany insisted that no one was missing,
and they had made arrangements for
an evening performance at Missoula.
Late this afternoon it was learned for
the first time that lives were lost, and
the manager was finally forced to can
eel the enga cement. The coroner has,
with some difficulty, procured the char
red remains of Minnie Herst. Bert r ee
and Rene Lucasse. The body of Bolle-
mans lies at the morgue.

FIRE IN HOSPITAL.
Great Alarm Among the Patients at
Helena. Mont.

Helena, Mont, March 16-This after
noon about 4:3o. fire was discovered in the
roof of st. Peters hospital of this city,
and for a time there was great alarm.
The fire was in the roof and the patients
were all removed from the threatened
portions of the building with no great in
convenience. The loss will be about Sc, 900.
One patient, who was almost dead, will
probably die before morning, but his end
can hardly be attributed to the shock of
the fire. No serious consequences are
anticipated to any Of the others The
nurses lost all of their wearing apparel,
neglecting their own property in heroic
efforts to care for the patients.
