dered himself TO the officers He was
accompanied by Judge o. w. Powers
whom he engaged by wire to defend
him
In A very short time his case was
temporarily disposed of. On the open
ing OF court Judge Powers arose and
addressed Judge Dlehl as fol!ows'
III the court please, In the matter OF
,he case OF the State against Hiram

out rest in order TO surrender himself
20 the custody OF the court as speedily
as POSSIBLE. on learning in San Francis
co that there was a warrant OUT for
his arrest. he Immediately came home,

irving here he promptly left for the
purpose l have stated And as to the
complaint which he has not yet seen. nc
desires to enter a plea of not guilty
DISCREPANCY 100000.
Asst. County Atty. Job Lyon said
that the charges against the defendant
might involve the soundness of the
company; that a felony had doubtless
been committed and there was a dis
crspanacy IN the accounts Of the COM
pany amounting from 100000 to $4,000
and that bond Of not less than sl0,-
900 should be required.
BOND FIXED AT $1,000.
Judge Powers was on his feet in an
instant and protested that the amount
was excessive; that a much smaller
bond would be ample The defendant
had shown that he would not run away
by what he had already done--by COM
Ing back TO Salt Lake with all possible
haste on Gscertaining that there were
charges against him. His was a case
where there was nothing to fear.
Judge Dlehl In considering the mat
ter also inclined to the view that sl0.-
900 was excessive and that a smaller
bond would be satisfactory and said
that he would place II at 5000.
Judge Powers thanked the court and
said that the bond would be furnished
during the day In the meantime Ty-
rec was remanded to the custody OF the
sheriff.

say to the public at this time Tyree

prlsed when all the facts in the case
shall be disclosed
