News From the Oonrts A Triangnlar Plea of Not Guilty Important Short Orders Made. , . i When the massive outer door of the district court was driven back into its plaster-bound socket shortly before ten o'clock this morning and the portals of the chamber were thrown open, a steady stream of applicants for naturalization began to pour In, and the front tiers of the auditorium were soon filled with the descendantsof a half dozen nations, all seeking a place under the protecting wing of lree America. This commendable ambition was given precedence pre-cedence and the usual questions were propounded, the court lavishing his emphasis on that pertaining to polyg-amp polyg-amp with the apparent purpose of testing test-ing the sincerity of those who preferred pre-ferred sympathy with President Woodruff's Wood-ruff's recent manifesto. There were none, however, to come within the range of that document. Not one of the applicants had ever practiced the now obsolete doctrine of plural ity nor had they been members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints, so that there was no departure from the established form of examination examina-tion and admission. The result was the naturalization of two applicants from Great Britain, a triumverate from Sweden and one from Bavaria, each of whom produced a five dollar gold piece and walked forth into free air of free Columbia a free man, prepared to exercise the sacred right of franchise and to define the future policy of their adopted government. The Park Clly Homicide. This unfortunate blot on the escutcheon escutch-eon of Park City was reopened at 11 o'clock, when assistant district attorney made his appearance in the court-room closely followed by Woodson J. Mosf and his attorney Judge Dickson. Dick-son. The indictment was read charging Moss with the murder of Alexander Langdon on the night of September 10th last, to which the defendant de-fendant pleaded not guilty. This case is admitted by the prosecution, prosecu-tion, interposed counsel for tho defense, to be a bailable one, and to that end we have provided bonds in the sum of $5000. Mr. Critchlow The prosecution had fixed upon $7500 as an equitable figure although it is not informed of the de-fendent's de-fendent's position in the matter. Counsel for the defeuso volunteered that Moss had been in the employ of the Ontario mining company for nine years and would have proceeded with the biographical dessertation had the court not interrupted and signified that a bond in the sum of $5000 should satisfy satis-fy the emorgency. The prisoner who is of very frail statue and of decidedly unobtrusive presence then retired and has in all probability secured the necessary sureties sure-ties ere this. The details of the tragedy for which Moss is now called on to answer are yet ripe in the public mind. It was the result of a long-lived feud between Langton and Moss' friend, and when the fatal meeting did arrive. Moss was drawn into it to an extent that he appealed ap-pealed to his hip pocket and issued the first note in the funeral march. A Triangle's Plea. Philip H. Monday, Franklin S. Deal and T. J. Campbell, the enterprising triangle who were run in for robbing the Union Paoifio railway company of thirteen bolts of cloth of the value of $400, were then put on their plea and "not guilty" was entered in each case, with the understanding that this might be repealed and another entered on their reappearance. Only two of the trinity had put in appearance, however, each of these informing the court that Judge Powers had been retained, but had been unable to make his appearance this morning owing to professional engagements engage-ments in another locality. Short Orders. Notice was given by Mr. Critchlow that Mary Dindos, J. W. Wallace, Mary Wallace, Nathan Hanson, Albert Kamm, John Doe Flynn and John Doe Walker would each be called on to plead on the morning morn-ing of October 11th.

It was so ordered. Assistant County Attorney Eichfcor gave notice that in the case of Salt Lake City vs. D. C. St. George, a compromise com-promise had been effected, and on his motion the case was nismissed. One of the material witnesses in the case of William Lehman charged with petit larceny haviug flown, Assistant Eichnor said it would be folly to attempt at-tempt conviction and the defendant was dismissed. The potit jurors were excused this morning until 10 o'clock tomorrow.
