MURRAY AND VICINITY

The Murray City co~nStabulary was
called to Berger town, the Italian col
ony at Murray, yesterday. 1t appears
that two A~ustrians, Steve Bartolabich
and Steve Leech, were practicing
shooting at a target. A number of
school children were onlookers, when
some stray bullets came in contact
with the crowd and hit two little girls.
A bullet pierced the fieshy part of a
little girls neck. She was taken to the
Murray hospital, and while the injury
was very painful, it will not prove Sc
riOus. Marshal Mauss rounded up the
two Austrians and escorted them to
the city Jail. They were fined S25 each,
which they paid.
An old gray-haired mar giving the
name of P. j.. Shields Of Chicago was
picked up by Marshal Mauss this
morning and locked in the city jail. He
had a new bicycle in his possession
and said he had ridden it from Ogden.
When closely questioned by Marshal
Mauss it was learned that he could not
ride a wheel and that he had walked
from Salt Lake with it. Chief Pitt
was communicated with and he is en-
deavoring to locate the owner of the
bike.
Al Golf. a young man residing at
Bingham Junction, suffered a peculiar
accident yesterday. While driving
some children to chool in his carriage
he reached out to strike the horse with
the whip, when ne ruptured a blood
vessel in his side. He is in a very Sc
rious condition.

HILL PROPERTY DIVIDED BETWEEN
MAN AND WIFE BY ORDER OF COURT

But Hill did not die. and when he
got well again he wanted the property
back-that is, what was left Of it, for
while he was sick and his wife was in
possession she disposed of a lot of it,
1t appears His wife, however, o a
different view Of the situation, and said
he couldn't have it. In lieu of his prop
erty, according to his complaint, she
gave him $40, and strongly intimated
that the ten was as much as he was
entitled to.
Thereupon Mr.. Hill brought suit for
the recovery of the property. He asked
the court to order a redeeding back to
him and, furthermore, asked that his
wife be restrained from disposing Of
any more of the property.
In reply to the complaint, Mrs. Hill
said her husband was not exactly fit
mentally to have control of the prop
erty, n t~hereupon the issue was
rested. Yesterday the court decreed
that Hill is entitled to the real and
Mrs. Hill to the personal property.
Included in the property is the fol-
lowing: The Toughnut Reserve in
Markham gulch, near Bingham; the
ElmertOn hotel, three stories: three or
four other buildings in Bingham. the
Blue Rock and Champion lode mining
claims. all of the Brooks and Cochise
ode claims, a one-half interest in the
Social Fritz. WaShakee, a one-third in
terest in the Regulator lode claim, 315
shares in the Toughnut claim, and 9TH
er assets.
In his complaint Hill alleged that his
wife disposed of nearly So. 900 worth OF
property conveyed to her by the deeds
made by him when he believed tho
hand Of death to be stretching forth in
his direction.
