day afternoon. A pole, bending be
meath the strain of u tightening guy

ground 1t fell directly in front of
Murray car, outward bound.
The pole carried down another pole
in its fall. The latter pole fell siX
feet in front Of a Murray car, inward
bound.
Fortunately the falling poles. with
their loads of cables. snapped the troll
ley wires. This shut off the current
Otherwise il is probable that the cars
have been plunged into the tang]e OF
splitting wires and that some one might
have been electrocuted or the cars set
atiro.
The accident happened at Ninth
South street about 1 clock. The Bell
Telephone company had a gang Of men
at work removing its poles from the
center to the side of the street. One
of the poles had been placed in ITS
hole and derrick was tightening up
guy wire when the pole snapped. The
next pole went down i'll the crash
too.
Dwellers in Murray walked the long
distance from Ninth South to Tenth
South street for nearly FIVE hours in
their journeyings to and from Salt

while TO dodge twisting live wires
until workmen cleared them away.

for carrying his case up,
Rigby's case was the cause of warm
words between f.. a, Rogers, assistant

who, represented the defendant: Newton
held that not bit of evidence had
been brought out to that effect. Rog

PROMINENT SHEEPMAN
MUST ANSWER CHARGE

T. K. Obrav, prominent in the sheep
industry of Paradise and Logan, was
arrested at Logan Wednesday morning
BY Deputy United States Marshal Ju.
lian Riley, on information charging him
with the violation of the United States
quarantine law. Immediately upon the
arrest Of Mr. Obray he was taken TO
Ogden, where his bonds, which had
day at $500, were approved on Mon
day at $500, was approved by United
States Commissioner A. B. Patton.
Obray has been charged with ship
ping $500 sheep from Saddle creek,
Cache county, TO Rockford, Ida, con,
trary to the intent and purpose of the
federal quarantine law, which was en-
acted for the purpose of preventing &
the spread of the disease of "sca-
bies, The law states that all sheep
must be inspected and certified to as to
their condition before shipment. In the
opinion Of the attorneys the govern
ment does not have to prove that the
sheep were infected, but merely that
there has been no inspection by a quail
fed official. The hearing of the case
will in all probability be set on rule
day, which is July ).

ALLEGED LARCENIST
FILES A DEMURRER

In the case of the United States
against Allison A. George, who was
indicted by the grand jury for steal
ing cattle which belonged to the In
dians of the Uintab reservation, the
defendant has withdrawn his plea OF
not guilty, and through his attorney,
John T. Pope. has filed demurrer to
the complaint, the argument of which
will be heard before Judge Marshall
of the United States criminal division
of the circuit court on July >,
4 question which has long been IN
dispute viii be opened up by the de-
murrer. According TO the complaint,
the property taken is ALLEGED to be
long 10 the government, and the de
murrer contends that after the gov
erument had turned the property over
to the Indians the property was no
longer government property, bat be
came personal property. as was also
the increase Of the stock under ques-
ton. For this reason, the demurrer
contends that the United States court
has no jurisdiction in the matter and
that the case should have been brought
in the state courts. lnasmuch as a case
similar to this one has never been
brought in the courts of the United
states and ruling passed upon the same,
the legal fraternity IS watching the
case with considerable interest.
