MCGEE VS. MIIi.EHET Al
Ten thousand Dollar Damage Suit
for Personal Injuries to BIZ
Decided Today
NON-SUlT RELEASES TWO
OF THREE DEFENDANTS

The case Of Olive j. McGee and
John B. MCGEE against the Utah
& Nevada Express Co., B. F. Mil
ler, D. G. Kennedy and j. P.
Phalan, was called for trial last
Monday.
This is a damage suit filed
on July 25th, 1903. During the
month of October, 1902, Mrs.
McGee took the Ely Wells stage
at Cherry Creek for her home in
Salt Lake. At the ranch of Mrs.
Morgaret Greene change of
horses was being made, and, ac-
cording to the statement of Mrs,
McGee, before the team was fully
hitched up and the driver had
secured the lines, the team start
ed to run. The plaintiff remain
ed in the coach till she deter
mined to risk jumping out. She
did so, and received injuries for
which she brought suit for $40, 900
damages. The accident occurred
about 3 O'Clock in the morning.
The express company set up
the defenses that it had sold all
it's interest in the traffic of the
line prior to the accident. Mr..
Miller had no interest in the case
except as general manager Of the
company. Mr.. Kennedy claimed
that he sold all his interest in
the line between Deep Well and
Cherry Creek (the part of the
line on which the plaintiff was
injured) to j. P. Phalan, and
therefore Phalan alone was re-
sponsible, if anyone. Phalan
needed no defense, as he was
never served with a summons.
The express company, Miller and
Kennedy each set up the further
defense that 9. R. Reeves, one of
the plaintiffs attorneys, had ac-
cepted span of horses from MIR.
Phalan in full settlement of
plaintiffs claim for damages
against all the defendants.
The whole of Monday morning
was consumed in securing jury.
When completed, the jury con-
sisted of the following:

Mckinley Mines
WORK TO Be RESUMED ON A
LARGE SCALE In NEAR FUTURE

The long looked for reorgani-
zation ol the Mckinley Mining

Sheep Diminishing in Numbers.

The worlds supply of sheep is
rapidly diminishing. In ten years
there has been a decrease of nearly
Y, 600, 900, or pretty close to one
seventh of all the fiocks of the earth.
1t appears that the higher the civiliz-
alton the fewer the sheep. Great
grazing lands from the extreme end
of South America to the plains Of
Russia, which once pastured great
focks of sheep, are gradually being
turned over to agriculture. In
Canada the number of sheep is stead
lily falling. Germany according to
the American Wool Reporter, has now
but 10000, 900, where halt a century
ago it had three times that. In India
the flocks have lots seventh in
eleven years, while in Spain, which is
the home of the finest feeces in the
world, they lost fifth in a brief
eight years. Nearly one seventh of
the entire supply of sheep is in
Russia, but they are of an inferior
breed, and the wool is in demand by
foreign countries.

Olive Oil in Massage.

Olive oil is nourishing used as an
unguent in massage, but neatsfoot
oil made from hoofs of beeves) Is
better, being more penetrating.
However, for nervous invalid there
is something better than either, being
both nutriment and tonic, namely,
quinine ointment. This is the remedy
of remedies for a puny or teething
baby, or for an invalid of any age.
When physicians prescribe lt-as
some dot costs two or three dollars
to have it compounded in a drug
store. 1t may be made at home for
few cents. To one cupful of pure
lard add sixteen grains of quinine
for a child, twenty or twenty-five
grains for an adult, and beat hard
together for full hafl hour. A soup
plate and silver fork are the best
utensils. Give the patient thorough
rubbing with this all over the body,
rubbing in as much as the skin will
absorb. Under the arms, knees and
soles of the feet the absorption will
be found very great. Less will be
needed as time goes on, but as the
ointment will keep, the quantity
made does not signify. The skin
should be bathed with hot water
(using soap) before the daily applic-
alton and rubbing. Within two or
three weeks improvement will work
a metamorphis in an ailing baby,
child or nervous invalid. For
malarial troubles it does wonders
far beyond what any internal dosing
can accomplish; but you will need TO
be persistent in its application.

You Can Never TeIt.
You can never tell when you send

You can never tell when you send a
word
Like an arrow shot from bow
By an archer blind-be it cruel or
kind,
Just where it will chance to go.
1t may pierce the heart of your dear
est friend,
Tipped with its poison or balm;
To strangers heart IN Iife's great
smart
1t may carry its pain or calm.
You can never tell when you do an act
Just what the result will be;
But with every deed you are sowing
seed,
Though its harvest you may not see,
Each kindly act is an acorn dropped
In Gods productive soil;
Though you may not know, yet the
tree shall grow
And shelter the brows that toll.
You never can tell what your thoughts
will do
In bringing you hate or love;
For thoughts are things, and their
airy wings
Are swifter than carrier doves.
They follow the law of the universe,
Each thing must create its kind;
And they speed DER the track to
bring you back
. Whatever went out from your mind.

Swimming in the Rain.

''Whoop! It's rainin'." This was the
cry that burst from nearly every boy al
the public bath one day lately, as the
rain poured down on the wet heads OF
the swimmers. There seems to be {
great charm in swimming in the rain,'
said William Long, life saver at the
bath. "One kid whose half-hour hat
expired said: I hate like the dickens
to go out while its rainin'. 1t gives yo,
such nice, smooth kind of prickly feel
ing. 1t saams to be a shower bath am
tub bath combined. When there arr
boys in the pool while its raining yol
seldom ses them swimming or diving
They just float around lazily and let tn.
rain pound on their heads. ."-Kansa.

Quaint Indian Funeral Customs.

Many strange Indian tribes live
around Hudson Bay. The Greek and
Nascoppie Indians are among these
tribes, who have peculiar custom in
regard to their dead. As soon as one
of their number is dead, the surviv-
ng relatives place the dead, one in
a box which they beg from the Hud-
son Bay Company. In this box are
placed, with loaded gun, a powder
horn, tobacco pouch, a flint stone
for striking fire, the snowshoes for
travel, and an ak.
This box is then carried to the top
of the nearest hill and set there with
stones upon the top of it. For ten
days it is left undisturbed, and then
the relatives remove the gun and
other valuables, believing that by
that time the dead one has reached
the happy hunting grounds and has
no turtner use for them. Washing

Western Pacific Activities.

Local representatives of the West
ern Pacific Railroad are very active
in this state nowadays, but are veil
ing thier movements in vapor OF
mystery and exciting a great deal
of curiosity in financial circles. 1t
is believed that they are intent upon
absorbing several electric roads in
the interior, and as Lewis Hanchett
is supposed to be working in the
interest of the company it is inferred
that George Crocker is largely in
terested in the enterprise. Mr..
Hanchett is a brother of the late
Mrs. George Crocker, and he looks
after the financial interests of his
brother-i -in-law on this coast. 1t lis
said that when the trunk line of the
Western Pacific is completed the com
pany will have a number of branch
lines all ready for business. There is
an immense amount of money being
spent by the Goulds on this coast and
they have lawyers galore Ill their en-
ploy attending to all the preliminary
business incident to the acquisition
of franchises and rights of way.
Among the men in their employ is
w. M. Rank, formerly of the North
Shore road, who quit that corpor-
atiion in hurry when it was alb
sorbed by Hartman. Years ago he
was the general agent of the Denver
and Rio Grande. Among the law
yers on the company's staff is M.
E. Cert, who has knack for making
advantageous deals.-Town Talk.

lone Defeated Stockton High.

In one of the most exciting games
girls have played in Stockton for
months, the lone basketball team
yesterday afternoon defeated the
Stockton high schools girl by a
score of IL to on the high school
campus. The losers assert that it
was one of the prettlest and cIeverest
contests ever seen here, as no undue
advantage was taken by either side.
The Stockton girls also assert that
the contest was won on its merits
and that the visitors simply outpIayed
the home team.
The locals were taken at a disad-
vantage as they had not expected the
lone team to come here until two
weeks later. The visitors were coach

formerly member of the Riverside

who played here Yesterday will be

were not we'll organized and we're

intended to keep at work and hope to
even up matters latter, when another
