ARCHIE BURNS TRIAL.
Will Be Heard at September Term of
Sanpete County Court
at Mantj

Manti. Aug. 17.-Monday Sept a. will
be the day Judge Ferdinand Erickson
opens court in Manti. Among the prin-
cipal cases of note to be tried at this term
will be the Archie Burns murder trial,
which will probably be long contested
affair, and no doubt considerable interest
will be taken by citizens of the county
as the deceased whom Burns killed was
quite prominent and favorably known by
a great many people throughout the state.
So far no preparations in the case have
been made to be given out for publica-
ton, but il is expected that a great num-
Der of witnesses, principally from Mount
Pleasant, where the tragedy occurred, will
be called to testify. II is highly probable
that self-defense will be the contention
of the defendant before the court
Judge William Fl. King, associated with
James W. Cherry of Mount Pleasant, will
appear for the defendant.
Another case to be tried is that of
Thomas Thomson of Fountain Green, who
is charged with grand larceny. At the
previous trial the jury disagreed, neces-
stating another hearing of the case.
The famous Webb Green case of Mount
Pleasant will come up the second time
for trial at this term of court Green is
charged with felony and the case is con-
sidered one of the most notorious ever
heard here.
j. R. Baxter. jr., of Spring City. who
is charged with a misdemeanor, has also
been set for the September term. A num-
Der of civil cases are also expected to be
tried at this term.
