LIGHTNING IN MINE
Two Men Shocked BY a Bolt
That Travelled 500 Feet
Underground.

Struck by lightning at a distance of
500 feet underground, was the expert
ence of two men employed at the Scot
fish Chief mine near Park City last
Sunday. The accident happened dur
ing an electrical storm quite similar TO
the one that passed over this city about
the same time.
The men were working in an incline
shaft and were on the 500-foOt level. A
thunderbolt struck the rails of the IN
derEroUEd railway near the mouth Of
the incline and followed them down into
the mine. The men We're working at
the end of the track and both were
shocked by the lightning. They were
knocked down and somewhat bruised
but were not seriously injured.
Owing to the extreme depth at which
they were working the men did not
know that a storm was raging outside
and were unable to understand the
cause of the disturbance. Both
thought at first that an explosion had
occurred

INDIANS ARE PEACEABLE.
Agent at Moapa River Discusses
Killings.
To the Salt Lake Herald:

10 the salt Lake Herald
there have been two DrosDeetors killed
IN the neighbOrhOOd of Caiientes. and the
murder Is CHARGED 70 Indians from the
MOapa reservation. I DO not know as
70 the truth Of the crime or who the
guilty parties may he, The dispatch also
states that the Indians from the
Moapa reservation are rowing about com
mlttng .de2reoatIons on ranches, ana
camps OF strangers, and prOspectOrs- That
a general uprising is feared. it is true
there are quite number of those Indi-
ans off the reservation at this time, be-
cause Of the necessity of hunting work
70 make living for themselves and fam
lilies.
As for any uprising among the Indians
here against the whites, think there
is no reasonable grounds for the state
ment It is said that the reason for the
revolt a~ainst the whites is the passing
OF the death sentence upon Goethe Seq
miller, the Indian boy who killed William
Williams last August.
The Indians here were somewhat
worked up over the affair 1T the time Of
the boys arrest and Imprisonment but
nave become reconeiled 20 the decision
of the law.
The Indians on the rceervation have
hope thatthe death sentence will be com
muted 10 imprisonment. The citizens Of
the valley also hope for the same result
II is trUe they did circulate a petition
mere which received about 80 names to
the pardoning board for q Communication Of
death sentence.
The above petition was not circulate
because of any threats made by Indians
against the whites. nor Of auy fear of the
whites Of the valley Of violence from the
Indians, but because the citizens Of this
part OF the country thought the punfSn-
ment for the crime committed under the
circumstances, was in excess Of just pun
ishment
wish 70 say right here that the In
dams that are u99u the reservation are
very quiet and inoffensive when sober.
Unfortunately circumstances here are
such that the Indians get roo much whis-
key at times, and both bucks and squaws
become quite intoxicated.

WILL APPEAL 10 THE COURTS.
Democrats Desire Representation in
Auditing Of Books.

Logan, Jan. 12-The county commits
sioners met today for the purpose or
choosing a successor to Professor Dryden
of the Agricultural College on the special
auditing committee appointed some time
ago. The two Republican commissioners
appointed this committee to audit the
books of the retiring treasurer and clerk,
and after spending several weeks in go
ing through the records. the committee
brought in a useless superficial state
ment. purporting to show a discrepancy
of 1882 between the books Of the two
officers.
Republicans circulated the report that
an actual shortage existed, and as a re-
suit much bitter political feeling was en-
gendered. as the purpose of the report
was plainly political. in addition to be-
ing petty. Messrs. Hendricks and Far
rel, ex-treasuTer and ex-cIerk respective
~. demanded that their records be fnyeSs
tigated fairly and without partisan NAL
ice. and the commissioners decided 10
audit the books back far enough TO ascer-
tain the beginning of the errors in ac-
counts between the two offices.
The county Democracy feeling that il
was assailed by the innuendos of Re
puoicans relative to it's officers, met and
appointed a committee composed Of State
Senator Barber Attorney p. r. Keller
and Former County Commissioner VIII
liam Edwards, to check up the sO-called
report Of the auditing committee
Desiring TO inspect the county records
this committee applied to the Republican
clerk for them. but he refused TO per-
nit them TO look at the books until
threatened with mandamus proceedings.
Then Professor Dryden retired from the
committee. and Commissioner barley for
the Democrats requested that Dryden's
successor be = Democrat, urging that as
the books of Democrats were TO be au-
dlted. i was not more than fair that the
party should be represented, or at least
that the two officials affected by the
report should have a representative on
the committee.
This vyas agreed 10 and the services of
Joseph Quincy. a Democratic bank clerk
were sought but could not be secured.
Then Messrs. Farrell and Hendricks Sc
lected Attorney Keller as their repre-
sentative and the party ratified and ap-
proved that choice. The two Republican
commissioners, however. despite the pro-
tests of their Democratic colleague. and
in opposition to nearly every Democrat in
the county appointed Professor Ostien Of
the Agricultural college. whose party at
filiati01 is not known and Of whom the
general public knows nothing.
The Democrats are indignant over the
unfair and petty actions Of the Republic
ans, and cases in the courts as result Of
the unwarranted statements circulated
here, are not improbable.
