few days ago on a charge of having
assaulted Jack Turner with a deadly
weapon, as the result of a personal
quarrel, was discharged esterday
afternoon by Justice A. j. Cart
wright
Wall and Turner had words over
a personal matter, and during the ar
gument Turner is alleged to have
used vile language to Wall, and is al
legged to have called him vile names
Wall resented this, and Turner is
said TO have attempted to get re-
volver Wall claimed that he be-
leved Turner had bad reputation
and, it is claimed, drew small
pocket knife with the remark that il
would not be safe for Turner to get
the gun. Turner is alleged to have
reached for the gun, and Wall struck
him in the face with his fist. He
was arrested few hours later on
complaint of Turner, who charged
him with assaulting him with the
knife.
Wall was released at once upon
bail bond being furnished in ,he sum
of $500 by friends.
When the case was called for pre-
liminary hearing yesterday after
noon, Wallis accusor failed to appear
and the case was dismissed.
In asking for II dismissal o the
complaint and for the discharge CT
the defendant, Attorney Anthony .Ir-
rich, representing Wall, declared that
the district attorney had no right 10
issue a complaint OF such a character
without due and thorough '"v"st ti2l-
ton into the ia us of the case. lie
declared emphaiically that the state
ment of the prosecution, to him
would not justify the issuance Of the
complaint.
Attorney Jurich said that before
such a complaint, charging a reputa-
BILE man with so serious an offerse
was issued, a far more rigid invasti-
cation should have been made han
was made in this case. He da,idrod
as a matter of fact that Wall ad
acted in self-defen5e and had tnly
prevented Turner from occurring a re-
volver. He also said tha. Wall as
convinced that Turner had such a
reputation that he WAS justified in
taking no chances.

MAY POSTPONE SUITS
AGAINST COMMISSION

The suits of the five Nevada rail
roads against the Nevada railroad
commission and commissioners will
be postponed again, according to the
arrangements now being made, says
the Carson City News. The cases
will be postponed from next Mon
day until some date between the 18th
and list days of october on account
of the indisposition of Chairman Bar
tine of the commission. Judge Bar
tine has been doing extensive work
in preparing and looking after the
states side of the cases but for the
last several weeks has been i'll. He
does not feel able to apepar in court
at the present time and owing to the
fact that he has not been able to
complete his case on account of his
indisposition, he has requested the
continuance.
A telegram was received from
Judge Harrington yesterday stating
that such a postponement could be
made and now the attorneys for the
state have taken the matter up with
the railroad attorneys. There is lit
tie doubt of the postponing of the
cases

COPPER SETTLEMENT
FIFTEEN CENT BASIS
PRIVATE ADVICES STATE BIG
BUYERS PURCHASE HEAVILY
AT COMPROMISE FIGURE.

A letter was received here yester-
day by a local business and mining
man to the effect that advices had
been received in Salt Lake from Chi
cago 20 the effect that the General
Electric company and the We.ting-
house company had placed purchas-
ing orders for fifty million pounds of
copper at a rate of 3 cents per
pound.
This is taken to indicate that the
bottom has been reached, and that a
price of 3 cents has been agreed
upon between the producers and con-
sumers.
If this news is verified, and it is as
sured that settlement of the dis
pute between the buyers and the sell
ers has been reached. the end of the
period of depression that has exist
ed for severaI months in the copper
market is in sight and conditions will
rapidly return to the normal.

ARMY MAN DECLARES
FEARFUL WAR COMING

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-An eX-
traordinary document, which by its
prodigal criticism promises to raise
a hornets nest about the ears of its
author, Captain William V. Judson
of the corps of engineers, United
States army, has just made its ap-
pearance. Captain Judson in an Of
fetal report, gives ground for COM
plaint, not only on the part of the
navy officers, members of the diplo-
matte corps and brother officers in
the army, but has something to say
about the foolishness of sending
American warships to the far Pa
cific.
Captain Judson declares with a
pessimistic wall that only by adopt
ing certain measures for the improve
ment of the American army, which he
outlines, can the Pnited States be
saved from shameful and disas-
trous war;
Captain Judson devotes chapter
to the discussion of the possibility
of war between the United States and
combination of Germany and ia
pan. He dwells upon the handicaps
under which this country must strug-
gle in defending itself from such ar
enemy.

CRAzED BY THIRST
MINER GOES AMUCK

GOLDFIELD, Sept. ga poor,
unfortunate prospector, crazed by the
hot sun of the desert and suffering
from thirst and hunger. entered the
camp of Ubehebe and attacked five
men while they were sleeping in a
tent. He struck Wayne Ewing, one
of the campers, on the head with a
rock, fracturing his skull. He then
tried to kill the others, but Henry
Merry finally succeeded in graphing
with him and throwing him to the
ground, where he was bound. 1ne
unfortunate fellow gnawed through
the ropes that bound him and es-
capped into the desert, wnere he win
probably die. This fellow had lost
nearly all his clothes and appeared
like a wild man. He had probably
been wandering on the resert for sew
eral days.

BEGINS
IN BORAHS TRIAL

BOISE, Sept. 26.-The govern.
ment today began the Introduction OF
testimony in support of the charge
that Senator Borah, in conspiracy
with twelve others. defrauded the
United States out of titles to los
timber tracts of 100 acres each in
central Idaho. Much of this testi:
mony, it is declared, will be of doc
umentary character and other phases
of it will come from men who will
confess that they swore falsely il
taking out timber claims. The ses.
sion today was occupied for the mos
part with the introduction of thirty
one sets of alleged fraudulent pa
pers filed in the land Office by dunn
my entrymen, who afterwards turned
the claims over to the Barber Lum
ber company.

UTAH CAPITALISTS HAVE
BAD CASE OF OIL FEVER
Great Activity i'm Fields of AdjOin-
ing State-Cannot Secure
Equipment.

The fact that local capitalists have
taken an interest in the development
of supposed oil lands in this county,
gives added interest to the compaign
of development that is progressing
in the oil fields of Utah. The follow
ing is from an exchange of this
week:
Since the first discoveries of oil in
Utah such interest has ben mani
tested in that country that the sup
ply of rigs in California has been eX-
hausted. and casing, rigs, cables and
all other appliances and tools used
in boring are now being ordered from
the east. The territory that has been
explored is said by experts to cover
a greater area than the oil fields OF
Kansas, Oklahoma, Indian Territory
Ohio, Indiana 'and Kentucky COM
bined. The formation is described as
identical with the country in which
great oil and gas has been tapped,
showing the oil shale, asphalt and
paraflne in the crude state. An i'm
mense area shows oil seepages on the
surface, and experienced oil drillers
and operators pronounce the future
of the country assured.
Some of the sidings on the Clark
road are now lined with rigs and
other material that has been sent
into the country, and heavy orders
for still more material have been
placed. One company has an order
for more than two miles of casing
that is to be used in the sinking of
some of the wells, and number OF
rigs are being placed on the proper
ties by all of the companies that have
been financed.
Some of the experts have predicted
that within five years Utah will be a
regular network of pipe lines, fur
nishing oil and gas to every town
and hamlet for many miles around
The Rush Lake Oil company is one
of the latest to enter the field.

Charles J. Bengtzen, who has been
operating in and about this district
for the last eight or nine months.
and who has copper properties in
Snake valley that he says promise
to make him millionaire. is the
hero of an unusually interesting news
story in Salt Lake.

drama, which by some might be
termed a comedy, are William S. Nc
Cornick, hard headed financier, and
president of the W. S. Mccormick
company, bankers. of Salt Lake; and
another. Charles John Bengtzen,
whose past is enveloped in nebulous
mystery, but who is supposed to have
a plethora of convertible assets in
the form of Bank of England bonds,
gold mines and other things that
help to frighten the prowlng wolf.
Charles John Bengtzen is well
known here, where he has frequently
come on his way from Salt Lake to
his prospects in Snake valley. He
is equally we'll known in Salt Lake,
where he operated on the business

finely obtained which resulted in

establishment of the identity of his
parent in nationally famous Aus

other statesman who with eminent sue

Maananimity UNPARALLELED

The nation ought to be proud of the
President for his intention to recommend
to Congress that China be released from
the payment of about half of the indem-
nifty fund on account of the Boxer out
RACES of 1900. The Chinese are not want
ed here. Their habits and mode of life
are too different from ours to make them
desirable as fellow citizens. Neverthe-
less, we should deal justly with them,
and even generously. The announce
ment that the President thinks the idem-
nifty should be reduced from S24, 440, 779
to $11 ,655 ,4S3 will doubtless be given eff
feet by Congress and bright record will
be added to our relations with foreign
peoples
There never has been any dispute that
the sum of the indemnity as originally
fixed was too large. That amount was
fixed at the time when the other powers
that participated in the invasion of China
obtained their allowances. At that time
every person and nation, except ours, in
POSITION 10 uO 30 COlblueTeu IL the proper
thing to loot China. Individuals able to
do so acted disgracefully in carrying of
costly and precious objects and the
European nations insisted on enormous
payments. The United States accepted
the award as it was made to it and has
since been computing the difference be-
tween that sum ard the actual cost of its
participation in the work of suppressing
the Boxers. Even when the negotiations
were in progress our representatives en-
deavored to keep down the sum total of
the indemnities. They were not very
successful. Now that we propose to
waive about half the allowance other
powers will have fine opportunity to do
the same. Whetherithey do it or not
they will have our example before them
