GRAND JURY|S At WORK
Investigating the Case of Jack Tracy
Participant In Sensational MUIR
ray Running Fight.

Evidently the grand jury is today In
vestigating the case of Jack Tracy,
charged with being a participant in the
attempted robbery of the Murray post
office early st. Patricks day morning.
Witnesses called to the Federal build
ing this morning included Marshal
Mauss of Murray. Deputy Sheriff Joe
Burbdge, Detectives Burt and Chase;
Deputy Marshals Sam whittle and VIII
liam Caldwell of Murray; Postmaster
d. #. Cahoon and wife. and James Ca
hoon, a brother of the postmaster. All
these persons took a hand in the fight
ing of the would-be robbers or the
hunt ana subsequent arrest of Tracy.
Tracy was caught after pitched
battle, and was at first recognized by
Mike Gallagher as man who was
formerly In Bingham and Butte, Mont,
living under the name of Frank Fer
ry. Since the 18th of March, Tracy
has been held in the county jail pend
ing an investigation of the attempted
robbery by the grand jury,
There were three men in the attempt
ed robbery, but two got away and so
far as known, made good their escape.
The attempted robbery followed the
blowing open and rohbing of the Mar
IlJll company sdIb ana the tkOWe-k KEEL
ly safe, and 1t was believed the gang
was the one which had done the two
safe breaking jobs in this city.
The robbers were at work In the
postoffice when Deputy Marshal Whit
tie and Caldwell were passing. one of
the three men inside rushed to the
backdoor and the deputies separated
Whittle running around to the front,
Just as he reached the street two men
rushed out. White opened fire and
the robbers returned shots. Caldwell
Immediately Joined Whittle and a bat
tie OF shots followed with the robbers
running westward and the deputies
close upon their heels. One OF the
men was captured.
In his pockets were found six pieces
Of fuse each a foot long and with cap
clamped on, Each was wrapped in
cotton. No bottles nor nitro glycerine
were found In the mans possession,
nor about the postoffice
All evidences point to the conclusion
that at least three sets of cases have
been laid before the grand jury: the
cases OF saloonkeepers and Others,
charged with buying soldiers clothes
and other government supplies; the
case OF the two Greeks, charged with
robbing the Bamberger company's mail
boxes, and the attempted robbery of the
Murray postofiice, examination Of
which may consume today.

NELSON VIOLENTLY INSANE.
Man In County Jail Raves Night and
Day Without Cessation.

One of the most violently insane per-
sons seen In a long time at the county
jail now occupies the padded cell at
that institution. His name is j. l.
Nelson, and his home is at Pleasant
Grove, Utah county. Nelson is the
man who was arrested Tuesday morn
Ing In the office of Judge C. NJ. Nelson
by Officers Burt and Golding. He had
driven the occupants OF the room away
and was waiting, pistol In hand, for AT
torney Adam A. Duncan to appear that
he might Kill him. Detective Burt went
right after his man when summoned
to the place, and nearly lost his life,
as the mailman thrust a pistol towards
the officers stomach and tried hard 10
pull the trigger, but was soon dis
armed.
For 36 hours, at least, Nelson has
scarcely ceased for a moment TO rave
screaming necessarily at the top of his
voice, and running about all the time
In his cage like a wild animal. II would
seem that his physical strength could
not stand many hours OF such carrying
on, but at noon today ne was appar-
entity as vigorous and active as yester-
day morning,
Nelson irnagines that some one Is
going to shoot him, and every few min
utes he shouts: II am ready. come on,
one two, three!" He then gives fierce
howl as II IN pain. from imaginary ef-
feet of the bullet. The man seems to
be patriotic, as he frequently shouts
"Hurrah for America"

Ogden, April 16.--Simon Bamberger
may reach an agreement with the Har-
riman lines and the Ogden Union De-
pot company this afternoon whereby
he win be given permission to cross
the Union Pacific tracks at Thirty
first street to enter Ogden with the Salt
Lake & Ogden railway. This was in
dicated when the case was postponed
in the district court this morning.
The suit is brought by the Salt Lake
& Ogden Railroad company against the
Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, Oregon
Short Line and Ogden Union Depot
companies, seeking to condemn right
of way over the U. p. tracks at
Thirty-firSt street Mr.. Banherger de-
sireS surface crossing and the Harri-
man people are objecting. They want
the Bamberger line TO provide an ele-
waited crossing on account of the steep
grade at the point in controversy. AS
an alternative they want an interlock-
ing switch placed at the crossing IL
1t is to be a surface crossing The
trial of the matter was set for this
morning, but when the case was called
the attorneys for both sides, after a
consultation, asked for a continuance
until this afternoon. 1t is anticipated
that a settlement will be made out
of court, and that the Bamberger line
will get the surface crossing after COM
plying with the supplementary require
ments of the Hartman people. General
Supt. W. l.. Park of the Union Pacific
and General Counsel p. l.. Williams
of the Hartman lines, are in the city
representing the interests of the de-
PENDANTS in the condemnation proceed
ings. Senator Bamberger and Atty
Hollingsworth are looking out for the
plaintiffs interests.
