Passes Away.
Bishop Archibald Gardner. a pioneer
resident and one of the first grist mill
builders in the state, who lived at
West Jordan, died in this CITY vester-

he was born in Kilsith, Scotland. Sept.
,, 1874. In the year of 1S47, when the
site Of this city was but a desolate
waste, Bishop Gardner came here with
the pioneers and spent the most of his
life in this city. He was one among
the first TO build a grist mill in the
state, and since that time has been
noted as a mill builder.
He built his first mill on the banks
Of Big Cottonwood creek, near the
present State road. Afterwards he built
nVe or six more mills and finally con-
structed one in West Jordan, to which
place he moved a few years ago. Mr.

ARMY BEEF SCANDAL MOVES
OVER THE OCEAN TO ENGLAND

London, Feb. S.-The apparent in
competence and, it is claimed, possible
dishonesty, which permeates the pur-
chasing departments of the British
army as revealed this week in parlia-
ment has caused a public agitation
that aUgurs badly for the war office.
Judging from recent disclosures scarce
ly any of the supplies for the army in
South Africa were secured on business
principles.
Specializing contractors are now
known to have made hundreds Of thou
sands of pounds by reselling contracts.
The opposition vainly endeavOred to
get details regarding the new contract
for the new supply of meat announced
by the government in the house of
commons, with the view of ascertaining
if a saving over the former methods
will really 0e effected. The govern
ment Successfully avoided answering
but the Associa ted Press understands
that the contract in question was first
resOld at e10,000 premium. and then
at Gao 600. while Cecil Rhodes and the
De Beers group handed over 600, 0OO
and thus finally secured the privilege
of supplying the troops in South Africa
with fresh meat.
These figures are expected to be pub
lished here soon. and when known will
doubtless add fuel TO the fire of public
indignation which threatens TO center
around the secretary of war, Mr.. Brod-
rick, as vigorously as II did around
Lord LansdOwne, when the latter was
sponsor for the early plumbers of the
war. A dozen or more committees Of
investigation are now sitting or are in
progress of formation. but as the Sat
urday Review says, these are only too
often synonyms of oblivion"
The fact remains" adds the Satur-
day Review, that we have been swim

the war Office are being publicly ac-

MAYORS PARDON OF A PRISONER
LEAVES LAWYER WITHOUT A CLIENT

Mayor Thompson's act of clemency
in pardoning John W. Nash from the
city Jail has put an effectual check
upon the effort of Attorney James f.
Smith to have his client freed by the
high court of the state by habeas cor
pus proceedings. Attorney Smith was
chagrined and piqued yesterday when
he learned the effect of the mayors
merciful consideration to the lawyers
client. Mr.. Smith had essayed to win
decision which would upset the new
city court and put Judges Diehl and
Tanner out of commission, but il is
all off now until some other chance
comes up TO attack the constitutional
ity of the law creating the new court.
In defending Nash, Attorney Smith
made an argument in the habeas cor
pus proceedings last week before Dis
trict Judge Morse, basing his plea for
release of the prisoner on the alleged
unconstitutional court, known also as
the city court, under the new regime.
But Judge Morse denied the writ and
upheld the constitutionality of the law

quent meetings to decide on the best
method of defeating Mr.. Brodrick' S
new volunteer regulations.
The committee which Mr.. Brodrick
appointed to hear the grievances only
aggravated matters. The commanders
of the leading regiments had previous
~ formed themselves into a deputation
to wait on Mr. Brodrick, and he, tenn
porarily, declined to see them, but the
secretary for war stole a march on the
members of the deputatiOn and an
nOuneed in the house of commons that
he had proposed a commission of his
own, in which not one of the deputa-
ton was included. His action created
intense feeling among the mem berS of
the original deputation, who privately
declare that the new volunteer regula-
lions OF the "dead-head' committee
were introduced for the sole purpose OF
making CONSUMPTION possible.
The colonel of one of the London
regiments said TO a representative of
the Associated Press:
I'VE know Mr. BrOdrick wants con-
scription, though, perhaps, in a mOdi-
fed form. If his ideas win the day,
the volunteers will gradually cease to
be an effective force, and viii thereby
supply the war Office with its strongest
argument in favor of compulsory mill
tary service, or the enforcement of the
old ballot laws. Rather than see that
come about, We intend to break up our
regiments. I have a letter from a Cls-
tinguished nObleman urging me to take
that course, and many other command
ing officers contemplate disbanding
their regiments"

road to the Jail. When searched a
number of cheap spectacles and other
articles of jewerly were found on them.
They absolutely refused 10 give their
names to the officers, declaring that
they were nameless. and also refused
TO divulge their ages.
One of the men is known 10 be Tim
Sullivan, who was released from the
state penitentiary Friday, having
served a term of one year in that in
stltution on the charge of grand lar
ceny. The identity OF the other two Is
unknown TO the officer but they are
thought to be eX-cOnvicts.
Later in the night Sullivan made an
other attempt TO escape, but was frus-
trated in his Efforts by Patrol Driver
Cannon. Going into the jail to call out
another prisoner, Cannon opened the
door of the cell partially. Sullivan
made dash for the open door, but was
caught by the officer and showed back
into the dungeon. He was locked up
securely, and unless removed from the
city jail viii probably be placed in sol
itary confinement.

With the decision against him, At
tOrney Smith went TO work Industrious
~ on bill of exceptions on appeal to
the supreme court, intending to fight
to the bitter end for the release of his
client Just as he made himself ready
to present his argument to the appel
late court, the lawyer found himself
without client, because the mayor
had pardOned Nash.
All the consolation Attorney Smith
could take from his unexpected predic-
ament was that he might be able to
use his briefs and exceptions for the
next case which comes to him where
the validity of the new court can be
called into question.
Nash was serving a term on a convic-
ton of petit larceny, he having stolen
two bales of hay. 1t was shown to the
mayors satisfaction that there were
extenuating circumstances in Nash's
favor, sufficient to warrant the exercise
of mercy by the executive.
