The Weather.

The temperature has been compare
lively mild during the past few days,
with threatening conditions. The wind
has been from a rainy quarter (southeast)
and while the sun has occasionally
shown, his presence was but temporary.
These are indications of northwest winds
and colder weather within the next few
hours. The recent high tides, according
to watermen lores, are always precursors
of such changes in the weather.

Reducing the Grade.

The work of grading Canes cut in
Orange county for the double track OF
the Southern Railway is progressing
rapidly. When the new grade is com
pleted the center of the cut will be about
ten feet below the old roadbed. AT
Rapidan the new track will be several
feet above the present road thus the
heavy grade between Orange and Kapidan
will be greatly improved, and all trans
can make better time. This is considered
a good piece of engineering.

Logan, Cache Co., May 3.-Interest in
the Clayton trial continues at fever
heat, All the evidence was IN and both
sides rested at noon yesterday when
County Attorney W. w. Vaughan and
City Attorney p. Il, Keller addressed
the jury In behalf Of the state, and At
wood spoke for A. NJ. Clayton. Short
ly before p. m. Judge Thurman for
the defense asked the court to adjourn
until this morning, unless his honor de-
Campbell made a plea for a night ses-
sion, so that the case could be ter
minated and the Jurors released. But
Judge Hart adjourned the hearing un-
I'll o'clock this morning. Promptly
at that hour Sheriff Rigby announced
"the honorable district court Of the
First district is now in session." Judge
s. X. Thurman, leading counsel for the
eloquent appeal to the jury, presenting
Mr.. Clayton's side in a mastery man
ner. District Attorney Frank X. Neb-
eker closed for the state and In forceful
and vigorous language arraigned the
defendant and claimed the state had
proven conclusiyely that Amasa M.
Clayton was guilty as charged. He only
spoke 45 minutes, having quarter
of an hour to spare. But he made a
clear cut, eloquent speech which won
him new honors one Of the best speech.
es too was made by Attorney A, b.
Irvine for the defense. The court room
was we'll filled with the friends of both
sides and as the court charged the Jury
to retire and carefully weigh the eyi-
dence. and TO give the defendant the
benefit Of doubt, the crowd dispersed to
express q wide divergence Of opinion as
to the probable verdict the jury would
bring in.
After celebrating for nearly II hours
the jury at 20 minutes TO 10 o'clock
tonight brought In a verdict Of guilty
with n recommendation for mercy.
1t was learned that three jurymen
stood out for acquital, but were final
~ won over to the majority,
It is not likely that the case viii be
appealed, as the defendant, it Is said,
lacks the necessary means to fight the
case further.

FLUME BURSTS.
Two Hundred Feet OF Track washed Out
In Jordan Narrows.

High waters have been causing
great deal of trouble to the operating
departments Of the Oregon Short Line
and the Rio Grande Western during
the past week with the result that both
systems have had a big force of trac-
men out watching for breaks also
trains Of flats loaded with rock for In
slant use.
Today the Rio Grande has over 100
men i'm Jordan Narrows working like
beavers. About o'clock this morning
the big fume erected by the Utah q
Salt Lake Irrigation company broke at
this point with the result that a torrent
of water was soon dashing against the
grade of the Rio Grande. Men were
rushed to the scene and were hard at
work by 3 a. m. and up to this time
have managed to save the main line
so that traffic has not been interrupted.
II was close shave, however, as the
waters carried away bodily about 200
feet of the side track adjacent, Had
the side track not been there the Rio
Grande would have stood a very good
chance of being tied up temporarily.

onment
According to the facts in the case as
related at the time Of the killing, the
Chinaman, who was cook at the mine
where defendant worked, became en-
gagged In quarrel with boy at the
clearinghouse and started after him
with shovel Wade 1t Is said, took
the boys part and the Chlnaman then
started after him with a long butcher

TO the bunkroom and got his gun and
when Lee came after him he shot him
in the head inilictlng Il wound which

This move is return 10 conditions
which prevailed up to the FIRST Of the
year,
Following the break on the part OF
the ClllcapO a Northwestern il was a
first thought that this order only went
into effect as far west as the Missouri
river Upon Investigation, however,
1t so)n became apparent that the
Northwestern came as far west as cas-
per- Wyo. Then 1t was that the Union
Pacific fell into line and today the
oregon Short Line and the o. II. N,
have followed suit. All the other lines
today did likewise.

paid for tickets homeward bound, The
result, It Is anticipated VIII be that
these shippers will now put In claim
for monies so expended.
