HISTORY OF THE CRIME
1t is not the desire of the PRESS edi-
tor to tear open the hearts of the suffer
ing friends who have since July 18th
last suffered untold agonies. The
murderer Ora O'Dell, while crazed
from long debauches turned upon his
faithful wife, May Stoddard- -O'Dell
and after knocking down his wife fired
three shots into her head. He then
turned the gun on himself and fired,
but took poor aim, only causing a flesh
wound. Confessing his guilt to Es-
quire Larrabee and others he was lock-
ed up. The evidence presented by the
Commonwealth up to the time they
closed their side this morning was
simply to substantiate the above. The
defence commenced on their side and
we are unable to present the evidence,
which is an effort to prove the insanity
of the defendant We are holding
back our paper, hoping to give the ver-
dict, but shall be obliged to forego the
desire 1t will be useless waste of time
and space to insert the evidence given,
when it is what every person has
heard time and again.

Hon. Josiah Howard.

There is general desire that Hon.
Josiah Howard be candidate for an
other term in the Legislature, he having
so faithfully represented our county.
1t would be mark of respect to the
honorable gentleman for the unselfish
and clean manner he filled the posi-
tion tor two terms that he should be
granted unanimous election. His
devotion to the best interests of our en-
tire county, his great liberality in every
worthy cause and his spotess character
should give him unanimous election.
Continue him in position where he
may have geater influence to battle
for our county and the. good of
the entire state.

The finest Coffee Substitute ever

The finest Coffee Substitute ever
made, has recently been produced by
DR.. Shoop of Racine, Wis. You don't
have to boil it twenty or thirty min
utes ''Made in a minute" says the
doctor. ''Health Coffee' is really the
closest Coffee Imitation ever yet pro-
duced. Not grain of real Coffee in it
either. Health Coffee Imitation is
made from pure toasted cereals or
grains, with malt, nuts, etc. Really it
would fool an expert-were he to un-
knowingly drink it for Coffee Sold by
all dealers.

LIE WAS FREELY PASSED.
Stockholders of Oneida Irrigation
Company Hold a Live
ly Session.

Logan. Feb. D.-WOrd comes from Day.
ton Ida, a small town in the north
ern part of this valley. of an exceed
lngly lively meeting that was held there
on Tuesday. 1t was a gathering of the
stockholders of the Oneida Irrigation
company, TO hear report of the condi-
ton of the cOmpany's affairs, which
have been aired in the public prints for
some time past on account of alleged
dishonesty of some of its officers. NThe
treasurer. S J. Callan, who took office
but few months ago, and after George
{. Parkinson had by request resigned
from the position, rendered his report.
The chief point it contained was this:
That when the canal was projected the
state engineer was asked for estimates
as to its total cost and after a Areful
examination he placed the figd tH43 at
$4,000, remarking that they were Sky
high. so he would Do safe. To date the
canal has cost S575,S75 and it is not nearly
finished.
This report inflames the bad feeling
already existing among the farmers. and
there was a tCrrid discussion in which
President Joshua Adams of the company
and Attorney A. W. Hart. one of the ac-
cused officials. and others. passed the lie
frequently. The prominence in the Nor
mon church of many Of the men &C
cused of wrecking the company is cauS-
ing no end of criticism. not only Of men,
but of the church itself and it is report
ed that the church authorities viii there
fore interfere and endeaVOr to adjust the
differences existing there satisfactorily.
The city council met last night and a
special committee appointed to apprase
certain city property submitted its re-
port The cost of the Logan City cleo
trio light plant, to date, is placed at SIP,
$40, when citizens have been led to be-
lieve that its cost had been much less.
Last summer Mayor Robinson assured
the business men of the city that the
cost of the plant had been reduced to
$4,000, yet on the books it. now shows
at S1l2 S79, and upon the books in the
recorders office at sl26O00. If there -f1as
been the same mistake made as to the
earning capacity of the plant, some fig
ures will likely be forthcoming that Will

gems. but also 10 those in other cities
of Utah where municipal ownership of
lighting facilities is being talked of.

TRACING COAL SHORTAGE
Brakemen, Engineers and Firemen
May Have to Answer to Court for
Selling Coal to Boys.

I.ehi Feb 0.-FOr a year past shippers
of coal have found their consignments
single car from what their bills of
lading called for, and detectives have been
running the matter down.
A session of the juvenile court held here
yesterday developed that the brakemen,
engineers and firemen of the railway COM
pany were the real culprits and some OF
them undoubtedly will have to explain
to a court of competent Jurisdiction their
actions in the matter. Judge Noon, Coun-
ty Clerk Gee, County Attorney John and
Probation Officer Roper had about twen-
ty-five boys in the witness chair for eight
hours yesterday and il was developed that
the brakemen and other trainmen had al
different times either themselves or per-
mitted the boys TO unload coal to the
value of approximately sl04. which the
boys subsequently disposed of to grown
ups for probably a quarter of this price.
The trainmen would perform their share of
the steal for a pie. apples, cigars, or in
some cases for so cents or dollar, giving
in exchange therefor from One-half to two
tons of coal. The judge ordered the boys
to reimburse the railway company for the
coal taken and put them out on proba-
ton. The trainmen and the parties who
received the coal will probably be given
a hearing later and the Rio Grande West
ern detective who was present intimated
that several brakemen would have to walk
the plank. The practices brought to light
yesterday have been practiced all along
the line and will be investigated by the
proper officials
Farley Austin. agricultural superinten-
dent for the Lehi sugar factory, returned
yesterday from Sanpete and Sewer coun-
ties where he has agents this week con-
tracing with the farmers for sugar beets
for the coming season. Agents are also
busy in Utah and Wasatch counties sign
ing up with the farmers, and by Satur-
day night 5000 acres will have been con-
tracted for in the four counties named.
In Sanpete and Sewer $500 acres will be

easily treble this acreage could be OBJ

with hooks or similar devices and must
silo 10 per cent of their beets if the com
