at 10 clock. three of the most promi-
nent of the men indicted by the FEEDER

of having their bonds fixed in order
to prevent being taken to Jail. They
were Everett Buc bingham, general SUI

and j. NJ. Moore, general sales agent
Of the Union Pacific Coal company,
both of whom were indicted for alleged
violations of the Interstate Commerce
laws, and II. q. Williams, manager of
the Utah Fuel company, indicted for
conspiracy to defraud the United States
government.
All three of the men apparently car
ried their trouble with light hearts,
and while waiting for all Of the inter
ested parties, joking and laughing was
INDUCED in freely.
Reasonable Bonds Fixed.

bonds in each case ut $4,000. w. S Nc
Cornick. president of Mccormick
Co. 8 bank, and l.. S. Hills, president
on the bonds of Mr.. Moore and Super

It was stated at the Federal building
Saturday afternoon that arrangements
had been made for Elroy NJ. Clark of
Denver, attorney for the Utah Fuel
company, and Alexander H. Cowie.
chief clerk in the office of the vice-pres-
ident of the same company. to secure
bonds from the Utah Securities com
pany, and that they can make their
acknowledgment in Denver, and this
will not nee essitate their coming to
Salt Lake,
Three Ont Of City.
It was stated at the Office of the
United States marshal Saturday that
Robert Forester, gcologist and agent
of the Utah Fuel company; William
ID. Foster, secretary to Forester, and
George A. Moore are all out of the city
and that no effort would be made to
locate them Saturday or Sunday. 1t
was stated further that in case of ne
ccssity the Federal officers would be
able to lay hands on the three men on
short notice if it appeared that such
action was advisable. II is thought
that the authorities intend giving tho
men An opportunity to give themselves
up without suffering the humility OF
being formally placed under arrest
Where the men are has not been
learned, but it is supposed they are all
away on business trips and will return
to the city as soon as they learn of
the action of the jury.
Information on Monday.
About $50 Saturday afternoon W.
r. Foster, father of W. D. Foster, ap-
peared at the Federal building and
was closeted for some time with Dis
trlct Attorney Hiram e. Booth and
Deputy United States Marshal Lucien
Smyth. Neither of these officials would
give out any information as to the ma
ture of the conference, but is was in
timated that some information on the
subject would be forthcoming on Mon
day. 1t is therefore reasonable to pre-
sume that W, r. Foster informed the
officials of the whereabouts of his son
and assured them that they need have
no, fears. as to his presenting himself
