The meeting held by the minority faction Tuesday evening last was productive of good results, and from it came the compromise that has healed the breach. The proposition as agreed upon is that each faction should choose twro directors and the four thus chosen should chose a fifth, and to the board thus formed all matters in dispute should be referred, both sides pledging themselves to abide by the findings of the board. The representatives of the majority are John and W. J. Bogan, wThile Solon Spiro and R. H. Watson will look after the interests of the minority. The fifth member of the board is James Murdoch, a man who will give both sides a square deal. The legal papers in the compromise arrived from Salt Lake this morning, and the board will probably meet early next week, organize and straighten out the affairs of the company.
