'ARL9 yesterday morning an ex-
~ pressman delivered large
package to the Commercial
club addressed to Secretary Jo-
seph Caine. The expressman seemed to
the attendants OF the club TO be un-
usually cautious in handling the
package. A little later Mr. Calne ar
rived, but press of business prevented
his opening the box.
"Mac,' said Mr.. Caine, speaking to
A. G. Mackenzie when the latter ar
rived, ''I wish you would see what
kind friend has made me present.
Mayhap someone has thought so kind
ly of me as to send gift which I can
take with me to Oakland as re-
membrance of Salt Lake.
Mr., Mackenzie borrowed the club
hatchet and took a firm hold on the
box, and was Just about to begin to
pry open one end whom he dropped
the hatchet and backed away in haste,
Hears Ticking Sound.
"There is something wrong here, -
he said. "There is ticking sound
coming from that box Surely, Joe,
no one would send you an alarm clock,
Listen!'
And everyone listened The silence
was so intense in the Office that the
calls from the stock exchange across
the street could be distinctly heard,
all of which is some considerable 81
lence for the Commercial club.
"It 8 an internal machine,' voIun-
teered w. G. Stark who had been
called in,
"Someone wants to play a joke on
the Wards of the Wizard Of the
Wasatch," guessed Mr., Mackenzie
"All right, Mac said Mr.. Caine.
"you are running that show, so you
open it up.
"All right" acquiesced the genial
Scotchman
Why, it 8 the ting a.ling!' he ex-
claimed
Only the ''Ting-a-ling."
The 'ting-a-ling' is the affectionate
name which the Commercial club has
given the big steam siren which is to
be placed OH the engine drawing the
Greater Utah excursion special train.
The whistle was donated to the club
by the Salt Lake Hardware company,
The noise-maker is guaranteed to give
forth an ear-splitting shrek that will

sound was made by a chain inside tho

Mr.. Westerhcld was deeply In earnest
and the court was impressed by his EVIL
dent sincerity. He was challenged by
the stale and the defense resisted the
challenge. After few questions by
Judge Ritch,e. the challenge was sus-
tanned and Westerfeld was excused from
further duty.
Henry F. Knowles. $50 North Ninth

lion could he join In verdict carrying
the death penalty, on circumstantial evil
dence He said that ne did not believe
In capital punishment, anyway. He was
excused.

had met Inlow when he worked in Bing-
ham and was very favorably impressed

Day Is Fruitless.

Haskins had been passed for cause by
both sides and it seemed certain that he
would be No. . In the jury box. when
the defense challenged him peremptorlly.
A fruitless day was spent in the search
for additional jurors and though sixteen
yeniIemen were questioned as to their
fitness for jury duty, not one stood the
test, There are only eight men In the
jury box, though the trial mas been In
progress for seven full court days.
During those seven days 1876 vcnire-
men have been examined and only twen-
iy-nine have passed the first test. OF
these twenty onc have been taken from
the jury room before the fnal oath was
administered by peremptory challenge.
The defense has used eleven peremptory
challenges and the state ten. The de-
Tense has four let and the state five.
Martin a. Beckstead. South Jordan
farmer II years old. passed the prelini
nary tests with flying colors yesterday

fense had the opportunity al the after

JURY SELECTION SLOW

Ezra u. Haskins. veteran OF the

OF Gettysburg with the union forces. was
looked upon yesterday as the ninth juror
in the trial OF Caleb A. Inflow, charged
With the murder OF Thomas Eddie
White, but though he had escaped the
bullets OF the enemy on the battlefield
he fell before the perempJory challenge OF
The defense.
Mr.. Haskins. who Is 20 years old and
who lives at l645 Ninth East street,
seemed to be the Ideal juror. He had
known neither White. the victim, nor
Inflow. accused OF his murder. He had
read little OF the case in the newspapers
and had formed no opinion as to Inflow s
guilt or innocence.
Nj. Haskins said that he had sat In
