(Markets, ; is Alleged to Have Embezzled Funds From His! Practice. V I Dr. C. E. 'Henneberger, a Pennsyl-,- 1 Tania Dutchman, who resided in Bing--I ham for more than a year and was as-- I , sistant to Dr. F. E. Strauu, and fled I the territory some months ago, was . j arrested in Nebraska by 'Plnkerton I men, brought back to this county, giv- - I i ; en a preliminary hearing before Judge . I Van Dan in Salt Lake Jan. 3, and a i decision was handed down Wednesday , I binding him over to the district court . I on a charge of embezzlement From the information we are able j i J to secure on this matter, Dr. Henne- - berger came here and was employed : ty Dr. Straup in September, 1916. He was evidently a man well versed In ' medical skill, as Dr. Straup always spoke of his services in the highest . terms. But as time passed on in the t spring and summer of 1917, Dr. Hen-- neberger became infatuated with the ) stock markets and began playing the game with more or less recklessness. , Th stock market is sometimes hard f to 4jjo.ce, and even the men of keen-- 1 est'Xusight occasionally buy or sell at Jthe wrong tiiue. It appears that Dr. Henneberger pot on the wrong side ' and fcil tU very .jau. Act only did he get In bad, but by his manipulations he was brought to the point where he stood in Jeopardy of Indictment where a large sum of money was involved. The matter was brought to Dr. gtrafcVs attention, and the doctor hav-In- g jpWllBit faith in the integrity of Hen&tberger, to save his assistant from criminal prosecution." came to his rescue and assumed his obliga-tions. jtvidently Henneberger did not ap-preciate the favor, for he had hardly been relieved from the embarrassment when it appears he began to embezzle the funds of the practice of Dr. Straup and when he thought he had reached the limit, in the darkness of night he left ,!wn, and shortly thereafter peo-ple b$in to talk. . Some said he had stolen large sums of money from Dr. straup. Others said he was a Ger-man spy and a great many stories ,v were heard on the streets about this Pennslyvanla doctor. Some of the stories told by his friends indicated that Henneberger was a man of ab-normal habits. Dr. Straup, however, had confidence in his assistant and when he became involved in the stock markets did not hesitate to help him out, and said nothing about the affair. Henneber- - ger, it appears, was ungrateful and instead of making good the loan be-gan to embezzle the funds of the prac--; ; i tfee of Dr. Straup. When this reach-- j ed the limit he disappeared. He was located by Pinkerton detectives at ' Omaha and brought back to this state by Salt authorities, and was glv-- a preliminary hearing January 3rd Ken Judge Van Dan, and of this week was bound over to district court There has been quite a little talk of this case in Bingham, and the trial will be a matter of much Interest to people here. The people Wo Xnow Dr. Straup well say that he Is a good d whole-soule- fellow, and that he would have suffered the loss ocec1oned by the misfortunes of his aoMlntant .had the latter acted on the and shown a spirit of (square FOR 1917 ABE a00fl,00D This Great Surface Mining Property Shows Wonderful Records -- in Production and Profits For Year Which Has Just Closed , Many Valuable Improvements Are Made to Mines and Mills Dividends Since 1908 Have Shown a Marked Increase Production For 1918 Will Break AU Records is Prediction Utah Copper made a remarkable record of production, earnings and dividend distribution in the year 1917. Estimating the December production, the record shows a total for the twelve months just ended of 204,000,000 pounds of copper, 535,000 ounces of sil-ver, and 48,000 ounces of gold. This copper production is compared with 197,417,480 pounds In 1916. The exact figure for the first eleven months of 19.17 is 188,543,313 pounds of copper produced. The total dividends dis-tributed to date amounts to the vast sum of $75,770,000. The first dividend was paid on September 30, 1908, or a little more than nine years ago. The total dividends paid the past year was $23,600,000. This Is compared with $19,495,000 In 1916. The ore milled In 1916 amounted to 10.994,000 tons. For the first eleven months of 1917 it to-taled lil ,424,000 tons, and with iDecem-be- r estimated, it brings the total up to 12,500,000 tons milled. The reports of the company show that through 1916 the Utah Copper heads averaged 1.435 per cent copper, besides the gold and silver content. It Is understood that approximately the same average was maintained through 1917. The ex-- . cesa profits and income ax of the big ' Bingham mine are variously estimated by eastern Journals at 16,600,000 to aa high as $13,000,000. Such matters as the allowances for depletion, etc., will ' . enter into the final calculations, which will probably radically alter the amount determined upon. Great Trailing Ponds. The area of the ground owned by . the Utah Copper company which will be used solely for impounding tail-ing- s, embraces 6400 acres. It is bi-sected in an appropriately easterly and westerly direction by the main line tracks of the (Western Pacific ' and Los Angeles & Salt Lake railroad companies, and In order to make use of it to the best advantage and In the ' most economical manner. It has been-necessar-to move these tracks to the-nort- a distance varying between about one mile and one and one-ha- lf miles. These track changes will ex-tend from a point 7.75 miles east of Garfield station to a point one and ; one-quart- miles west of that sta-tio- n, making the total length of the change about nine miles. The Bing- ham & Garfield railroad at a point about three-quarter- s of a. mile east of Garfield station, will also have to con- struct additional trackage to make a connection with the new location of ' . the latter road. These track changea will be completed; by . the end of the .year liXl' ;..rf. ,.:- -:. 0: " - I ,eve will be constructed around i thls entire area so that the tailings j from the concentrating plants can be - Impounded and dewatered.

This levee will b9 completed by about February. ' . Utah Copper is today mining ore at the rate of about 1,000,000 tons a month or 12,000,000 tons a year The twelfth annual report for the year end- ed (December 31, 1916, showed total nJVcoSoerrVeK,'-0rl,nain-in ,n tne Property tons, averaging 1.41 per cent copper. In the year 1916 there were developed 23,530,258 tons in ex-o- f the quantity mined during that Period. It Is expected that the ore reserves will be increased from time to time, whenever development work : can be done without interfering with other operations.

GETTING THE NEWS BALLED AND BEING BALLED OUT It is not always the easiest matter to find all the news, learn the various' details and then write it up in a plain, comprehensive Mnanner. There are incidents which happen now and then when it is difficult, to arrive at the facts in the case when eye witnesses and others in a position to know are willing to talk, but when an accident occurs where only a few people know the details and the particulars inci-dent to the affair, and they become as silent as a clam on the matter, writing up the news about it is like taking a leap in the dark. Something has to be said about it and the newspaper, if unable to get the facts, has to give its readers some general idea about, what has happened. But aside from this, when the news-paper man gets the facts balled up the man who has the facts is ready to ball : him out Our attention is called to this over a story of a railroad accident which appeared in this paper last week. We were unable to get the de-tails, the topography or lay of the land where it occurred, the technical terms or the characteristics of the engines. Therefore, we could not use all those little niceties so handy In dressing up a story so as to be presentable to those versed in the sciences and at the same time be plain and explicit to the ordinary citizens. After our story appeared we had a communication we know not from whom who. could have given us the farts well and good at the time, but would he have done so? We hardlv think so. We have phoned time and ngaln for Information about such mat-ters to the proper person and when we would ask in the most courteous manner for information 6ome marble-- 1 hearted monster would coldly, if not indignantly, say that he did not know nr could not give out anything for pub-licity. If we persisted further he might suggest that we call 23013xxJ7 and then wlien we ask that he repeat :the number he hangs up the receiver. But th? story from our critic Is a good one. Aside from explaining how the accident occurred hp gives intprestinf Information about the operation of trains, the grades, etc., but he did nol sign his name, fearing, perhaps, that we might call on him later for data. His communication, reproducing our ragged story, and following it with his authentic and trenchant version, is as follows: Somebody Must Have Slipped. January 19th. 1918. F. H. Barlow, engineer of a com-pressed air dinkey operating on the Utah-Aoe- x grade of the Bingham & Garfield Railroad, suffered a fractured skull last Saturday evening as a result of a head-o- n collision and is now un-dergoing treatment as St (Mark's hos-pital In Salt Laks. Some parts of this line the grad- - l to steep that compressed air has to be used to drive the engine to the sum-mit. Barlow had applied all the air his engine contained and was sky-rocketing up the hill when another dinkey came down the grade. There was a collision with a terrific crash in which the engineer was knocked I unconscirus. While his Injury Is of a serious na-ture, It is thought he will recover un- - lem complications set in. i Harry F. Barlow, fireman on dinkey locomotive No. 22, in the employ of the Utah Copper Company, suffered a (fractured skull, Saturday, 2:15 p. m., as a result of a head-o- n collision on the A-- Line in Main Canyon, opp-osite the Auxiliary Yard, and is now undergoing treatment at St. Mark's Hospital in Salt Lake. Engine 22 had left the Auxiliary Yard with one flat car loaded with j pipe and was going up the C-- A line, which Is a four per cent grade, when . it collided with engine No. 77 coming down the grade with a train of loads, Engine 22 was traveling at a slow rate of speed at the time of the accident, on account of the mist, and the crew were not able to see the other loco-motive coming down the hill, illls injury is of a serious nature and It Is very doubtful if he will recover. Note: Compressed air is used for breaking purposes only on these loco-motives. A lour n-- r Ttit grade Is not consul ercd very steep. All of the transpor-tation tracks arc four per cent.

THE EVER FAITHFUL DOB OF A BINSHAM POLICEMAN lAn incident has happened in Bing- ham which calls to many minds the tribute to the dog by Senator Vest of Missouri. The senator, in speaking of the dog, said that the best friend a man may have In this worlcf may turn against him and become his ene-my, the children he has reared with loving kindness may prove ungrate-ful, his money may take wings and fly away from him at the time when he needs it most, but his dog under all conditions, in poverty and wealth, In sickness and disgrace, is alwavs and everywhere loyal, and faithful to his 'master. . Disciples of Senator Vest in Bing- - ham were inclined to repeat the eulogy a few days ago on account of the manner in which the dog of for-mer policeman J. H. White has been acting during, yie: paBt. week. -- !Mr. White has" been undergoing treatment at a Salt Lake hospital and left his dog. "Joe," with George Hill. For the past year or more iMr White had been in the habit of ringing the curfew bell and now every time the bell rings that dog thinks his master is there and flies with all speed to the city hall. hoping to find the former policeman.! 'Mr. White was in town Wednesday He came after his dog. He Bald that the dog was the most intelligent ani-mal he had ever seen, and that he had been offered $200 for it. die says that this dog would always chase the kids off the street after the ringing of the curfew. The dog knew that the ring-ing at the bell meant that all children were to go home at once. MANY QUESTION AIRES ' , FILLED ' X ;f Nearly 2500 questionaires have , been filled out by Bingham peo- - pie. This has kept the lawyers and a number of others - qultei "busy 4o the past few. weeks and still there are a few more to be prepared. The professional men have spared no pains in helping prepare the blanks and the work has been done well. POP GUN CARRIER TAKES TIP AND CONSEALS HEADLINES (Some weeks ago in speaking of the advantage and disadvantage of the big headlines which adorn the pages of our esteemed contemporary, The Pop-gun, we suggested to the boys who carry said sheet up and down the streets that they fold it so the public could not see and read those flaring leaders, and thereafter refuse to pur-chase. It seems that a great many people had caught on to the fact that when they had read the headlines they had read all, and as they could read these clear across the street as the newsboys passed along, they would save the Jitney for other purposes. 'We did not know how the boys would take the tip we offered, but we had some kicks from a number of peo-ple who had been reading the iPopgun as mentioned. In fact, a friend of this paper who lives several miles out of town, called us over the phone and complained about us putting the Pop-gun people wist to the fact, and said that he always read the paper while the lad tried to make the sale and he was afraid that hereafter he might "be denied this pleasure. iBut a few days ago a bright, sen-sible little boy called at our office hop-In- g to be able to sell a copy of the Popgun. We at once observed that he had the paper folded so as to care-fully conceal the headline screamers, and we ask him why he carried his papers that way. With a cunning look the lad said, "So the people can't read the paper before they buy it." Jle looked embarraKwd as though he felt ashamed of the fact that he had to labor under such a handicap, and we had conmassion on him and gladdened his heart by making a purchase. As we looked into the bright .sparkling eyes of the boy we thought to our-selves that he deserved a kindlier fate and we also felt that it would not be long before he would have a better Job than that of vending the Popgun. The boy who displays to the public the great headlines of the Popgun has not the marks of salesmanship. So once again we caution the boys who tote the Popgun to hide the box-ca- r headlines. DEATH OF MRS TUB MATSQN OCCURED IHOPPERFIELD Mrs. Tug iMatson, a highly esteemed woman of Copperfield, died January 10th at Pasadena, California, where she went some three months ago for her health. For several years Mrs. Matson had suffered from heart trouble and it was thought that a low-er altitude might have a beneficial ef-fect on her, but after going to the coast she steadily declined in health. Her husband was notified of her con-dition and was at her bedside when the end came. Mrs. Matson was 33 years of age, was a consecrated and faithful mum-- i ber of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints, and was loved and respected by all who knew her. The funeral was held from the Third ward meeting house in Salt Lake. A number of speakers paid high tribute to her memory and the floral offer-ing was very beautiful. The deceased was a member of the Bingham Lodge of Lady Maccabees and a large nuni-,be- r from that organization and many other friends from here and Copper-fiel- d attended the funeral. In addition to her husband, Mrs. Matson is survived by one daughter, Blanch. Ifl LARGE ELK SEEN HEAR FREEMAN GULCH SUNDAY , A number of people at the D. & R. ' 0 jktion last Sunday morningg were di'8sr.ted to see two elk on the rnoun-j- v I tain side. They were about 1000 feet 'iv 1 Jrn the railroad station on a knob , Vtween Dry Fork and Freeman gulch. A number of these animals were I purchased some time aj?o by the town i of Bingham and turned loose In the ' mountains. Deputy Game Warden A. L. iHeaston, In speaking of them, said jjthat the herd was not doing as well as It should owing to the fact that i there are consldarably more males jhan females. iAs a result the males Spend quite a little time fighting. f vls hoped that some plan can be ' f";'v''rt to have a number of the t ji'--B 'replaced with females. BINGHAM SHOULD HAVE jJIUUT (A patron of this paper called our attention to the fact a few days ago that Bingham was without a library and expressed the opinion that this matter should not be overlooked In the program for maKlng further Im-provements in the town. There is no doubt about the matter that Bingham ought to have a library, j There are scores of small tovns (throughout the state that now have the benefits of a Carnegie library, and every one knows that this town Is much better prepared to own a good, library than most towns in the state. Also the people here would know bet Iter how to use a good library thin the people in most other communities. Even little towns like American Fork and Pleasant tlrove have provid-ed for Carnegie libraries and many other small towns In the valley have them. A library would not. iost much and it would add much o the town. j PRIZES WILL BE AWARD-ED IN STRAUP CONTEST About three months ago Dr. F. K. Straup offered two prizes consisting I of a first of $15 and a second of $10. As yet these prizes have not been awarded. (Mr. Nielsen announced j Wednesday that Mr. Dudley will award the prizes (Monday. So all co-ntestants be sure and appear in assem-- I bly Monday morning. I PUTTING ON THE LID !j It was officially stated this j wf' that Bingham Is going to ! exert every effort to suppress t boiitlcrlrg. It was stated that while tl erp was Ft i 11 some drink- - Ing In town, practically all these Intoxicants rwnie from Salt Lake and as 'Hlndium officials cannot f step the sale of booze In Salt ' l.nkt .there will be more or less drinking in the camp, And say! Don't forget the big Operetta on January 31, will ycu? Be :sure and be there, as Southwick sure promises a treat. |
