was still smouldering at 10 o'clock
tonight. The town was quiet. The
cheers Of the crowd, when the first
flames shot up, mingled with the
piercing cries of the negro, and af-
ter the fire had burned for an hour
and the body was nothing but a crisp,
the crowd again cheered. Then it
dispersed.
While the majority of those who
gathered about to witness the black
mans death were men, there were
many women in the crowd.
Not a Shot Fired.
A remarkable feature about the
affair was that while the crowd was
determined upon the death OF the
negro. it was far more quiet than
usual under similar conditions. Not
a shot was fired. The escape OF the
negro, following his arrest, seemed
to add to the fury Of the searchers
for the black man.

man." AS whispered from lip to

Exact Financial Status of Tele-

Still Secret to Public.
GENERAL MANAGER COMING
Vice President Field Leaves for
Denver; Family of Manager
Seelye Here.

While no official announcement is
yet forthcoming as TO the basis Of
stock adjustment upon which the recent
big telephone merger was consummated,
by which the entire holdings of the
Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone com
pany were transferred to the Mountain
States Telephone & Telegraph company,
least palpabc indications that the Bell
stockholders got none the worst of
it,
II was learned last night through un-
official, but seemingly reliable. sources,
that the settlement was made on a
dollar for dollar basis, and while
none of the Mountain States officials
who could be reached would confirm
this report, they likewise declined to
deny it. There is apparently a dispo
sltion TO keep the terms of the agree
of the meeting of the stockholders,
August II, which has been called for
the purpose of considering the action
Of the board Of directors in accomplish
ing the merger.
f. B. Field. .Ir,. vice president and
treasurer of the Mountain States com
pany. left yesterday for Denver, and
local officials stated that there was no
definite date Sc. for his return, some
OF them incidentally expressing the
opinion that there was no reason why
Mr., Field should return before the
stockholders meeting.
c. G, Seelye, the new manager of the
Utah division of the Mountain States
company, put in busy day yesterday.
He said last night that he realized the
necessity for immediate enlargement
of the Salt Lake plant, as the volume
of business was so large that it was im-
possible on busy days like any Satur-
day to give adequate and quick service
with the present available equipment,
Mrs. Seelye and son. Stewart N, ar

rive tonight from the north and will be
in the city several days looking over

criticise the failure Of the administra-

believe would be carried out when he

is that Ballinger will criticise the land

Pinchot ideas of conservation. West
