last and smiling His neck was brok-
EN- by the fall of the trap.

taneous. Horn spent nearly all the

employed for ten years, his business
being to prevent rustling or thefts of

Former Resident of Winnie
muCCd Has Narrow Escape

The following from the Utah State
Journal, refers to w. M. Piggott, for
merly proprietor of the new barber
shop here:
There was a runaway accident on
Washington street shortly before 10
o'clock this morning which made
things lively for awhile and also did
some damage. A horse and delivery
wagon belonging to T. B. Evans &
Co. was standing in front of the store
citched to a weight, when, becoming
frightened at something, it broke the
hitching rope and started north. When
ln front of Cross harness shop 1t
collided with a horse and buggy,
which also stampeded. This in turn
ran into and upset w. NJ. Piggott, a
barber, employed at the Reed hotel.
The horse and wagon belonging to
Evans was caught, the wagon some
what in need of repairs as a result of
1he collision, while the horse attached
% the buggy broke loose and ran till
he got tired. The buggy will also
furnish a job for the wagon maker.
Mr.. Piggott was knocked down and
rolled over by the horse and buggy
and got up considerably dazed. He
went to his shop, got his bicycle ana
rode off, using one leg, to his home
to take look at himself and find
out the etxent of the damages to his
person. While stiff and sore it is
not thought any bones are broken and
he came off lucky in not being killed.

Reception at the NJ. {. Church

The inclemency of the weather last
night no doubt prevented many from
attending the reception to DR.. and
Mrs. Van Deventer who would have
otherwise attended; nevertheless, a
large number were there, and the oc-
casion proved to be most enjoyable
and memorable one
A program had been prepared, in
cluding a song by the Epworth
LEAGUE. organ voluntary by Mrs.
Lothrop, recitation by Mrs. G. B. Ack-
erman, vocal solo by Miss Norma
Warren, and addresses of welcome as
follows: On behalf of the high school,
Prof. w. l.. Butler; the press, f. w
Roach; the Epworth League, Miss
Fannie Harp; the church, S. j. Ander-
son; the pastor, Rev Edison. To
these addresses both DR.. and Mrs. Van
Deventer responded in touching, sin
cere words, the substance of which
the Silver State regrets that it has not
the space TO reproduce. Following the
program the guests were invited to
lHt pdI ISOHdSe WHERE TeITeSnInenlS
had been prepared, and where an hour
spent in conversation passed most
happily.
At the church this evening, begin
ming at 1880 o'clock a genuine, old
fashioned Methodist love feast will
be held, and while all who wish to
come will be made welcome, it is es-
pecially desired that the members of
the church and Sunday School will
be present. The meeting is of a
strictly informal nature.

THE ARREST
OF 6. H. WELLS
The Man Alleged to Be the
Leader of an Organized
Gang of Outlaws

The arrest of George H. Wells, pro-
prietor of the o. X. saloon on lower
Twenty-fifth street, which occurred
this morning at his premises, con-
cluded the work of the local police and
sheriff's forces in breaking up one Of
the most desperate gangs of criminals
that have ever infested this western
section of the country
This gang is supposed to have been
composed OF twenty-five men Two
OF the criminals for whom the local
authorities have been searching, are
still at large and believed to have
gone east. The operations of the gang
were carried out in Utah, Nevada and
California. The officers have posi-
tive information that the men now un-
der arrest and already in the peni-
tentiary are those who have been
carrying on the series of hold-ups
along the line of the Southern Pacific.
The four men convicted at Winnie
mucca ten days ago of murder and
now under sentence of death are an
other part of it. Kennedy, Williams,
Burke, Sullivan and Campbell, all ar
rested here and now serving terms in
the states prison, are supposed to
have been the leaders OF the band.
Monroe is also supposed to be the
man shot by trainman in Nevada
about two months ago. Among other
depredations attributed to the gang
is the robbing of Jones store and
the postoffice at Kelton.
The charge against all the men is
robbery. Judge Howell has fixed the
bonds of Wells at $1,000 and at 81 900
for each charge in the case OF the
others. The officers state that Wells
was preparing to dispose of his busi-
ness when they made the arrest. He
opened the saloon in April of this
year. being in the cigar business here
prior to that time. None of the other

regulations in criminal annals, one
of the men having spent fifteen years
in the penitentiary in Kansas and
another eleven years in Oregon Cor
man, man held in Salt Lake for
robbing the Corianton saloon, is an
other of their number.
The officers charge that Wells part
in the transactions was to supply the
guns and manufacture alibis in the
event of the men not being captured
redhanded. His stipulation for this
was that all the cash secured should
be expended in his house.
Unstinted praise is due the officers
for their efforts in bringing the GRIM
inals to justice Chief Browning and
his force, Sheriff Bailey and his dep
uties, together with William Sullivan,
special officer of the Southern Pacific,
all are equally deserving of commen-
dation for the success which has
crowned their efforts.-Utah State
Journal.

In experience along this line. and be-
lore the time set an official of the
state prison will visit San Quentin
ana Folsom in California to ascertain
the modes in use there.
At the execution will be present
Warden Considine, Attorney General
Sweeney, physicians, two clergymen
and at least twelve other reputable
citizens.
When the men were delivered to the
prison authorities they were the best
dressed prisoners received by the
state institution in several years.
They were at once put into stripes.
of course. Upon the morning of their
hanging, however, the stripes will be
removed and they will meet death in
civilian clothing, without prison mark.
No one will ever know who actually
springs the trap. In a cell in the in
ner portion OF the prison will be
placed three electric buttons. One of
them will connect with the trap of
the gallows out in the yard. The
other two will be dummies. At a
given signal three men will push the
three buttons and the trap will fall
Which one of the buttons did the
work will never be known.

KILLED BY EXPLOSION
IN B0TTLING WORKS.

Valdosta, Ga, May 27.-The VAL
dosta Bottling Works in this city was
the scene of a terrific explosion this
afternoon. A negro named Arthur
Ripley was killed by a piece of the re-
tort which exploded.
Ripley was charging a retort for
Lee Robertson of Argyle at the noon
hour, the works being closed down at
the time. Mr. f. r. Barber was writ
ing in the front end of the building
when the explosion occurred The
noise was like that of a cannon,
though muffied. He went back to see
the extent of the injury, and found the
negro on the floor, one arm blown al
most from its socket and his chin and
forehead badly gashed.
The negro was carried to a ply
siciaps Office for treatment, but died
in an hour and a half. The heavy
copper retort was blown into five or
six pieces, part of it going through the
ceiling and the other part through the
floor. The force of the explosion
knocked huge washing basin sew
eral feet.
An examination of pieces of the re-
tort indicates that il was not defec-
tive, and that the explosion was prob
ably due to an overcharge. the negro
being in hurry to go to his dinner.

STEAMER FOUNDERED
IN A COLLISION.
Emigrants Lost Their Lives in the
Accident.

AcCAdent.
Antwerp, May 27.-The British
steamer Huddersfield. which sailed
from this port yesterday evening for
Grimsby, England, collided with the
Norwegian steamer Tito. The Hudders-
field foundered.
Twenty-Five Austrian and Italian
emigrants lost their lives. The crew
were saved. 1t is believed the emil
grants were crushed in the collision.
The bows of the Tito were damaged.
The survivors of the Huddersfield's
passengers and crew were picked up
by the Tito, which landed them here.
The survivors say the dead were near
ly all crushed while asleep in their
berths. The collision was so sudden
that there was no time to launch the
Huddersfeld's boats,
The disaster is attributed to the
electric lights of a dredger. anchored
in mid-river, which dazzled the pilots
of the colliding steamers, who were
thus unable to see the danger of COL
lision in time to avert the crash.
The Tito was struck on the port side
by the Huddersfeld, whose immigrants
were asleep in the fore cabin.

WHY NEGROES LEAVE
COUNTRY FOR TOWNS.

Tuskegee, Ala, May 27.-Booker T.
Washington to-day submitted his an
nual report to the board of trustees
of the Tuskegee Institute. 1t is in
part as follows:
There are several influences that
are constantly exerting themselves
against the negro growing up on the
soil at present. One of these is the
lack of public school facilities In the
country districts and the frequent and
unwise agitation of the question about
dividing the school fund in proportion
70 the tax paid by each race. In the
cities and larger towns the negro
parent finds a comfortable school
house and school in session eight or
none months.
Another thing which sends a larger
number OF negroes 20 the cities than
many realize Is the surety OF getting
police protection In the city when one
Is charged with crime. think I do
not overstate the matter when / say

country for the city. This whole ques.
