A "Jim the Penman." J. II. Daly was released from the peni-tentiary yesterday after serving two for years forgciy. Daly is a very smooth young-ma- n who succeeded in fleecing the bankers of this city out of 13700 within a week by means of forged checks. Success made him reckless, and he was arrested and couvicted.

SETTING OF CRIMINAL OASES. The Calendar as Arranged by United States Attorney Varian This Morning. Proceedings in the Police Court The Sun-day Morning Shooting Bee A Forger and a Train Wrecker Released. Another plot for a jail delivery among the prisoners at the county jail has bten nipped In the bud, through the watchfulness of the officials in charge. It seems that on Thursday last John Moore, a cripple, completed a term of thirty days to which he was sentenced in the police court for vagrancy, and on Saturday he sent some packages of tobacco to prisoners in the jail. The packages were examined, and be-sides the tobacco, were found to contain half a dozen little saws of fine make, and some vitriol. Of course these articles could have been sent in but for one ; purpose, and Deputy Sheriffs Joe Burt and John Bur-bridg- e at once started out to arrest Moore. After a long search they found their man in a lodging house, and at once took him to the county jail. He will have a hearing be-fore Commissioner Pratt tomorrow morning. CRIMINAL CASKS.

John Connor Fires at John Garvey and Hits a Bystander. The case of the People vs. John Connors, charged with an assault with a deadly weapon, came up for hearing in the police court this afternoon. It ap-pears that the defendant was in the Farmer saloon on Commercial street yesterday, where he met a man named Wells with whom he had row in a saloon the previous evening. The two men engaged in an altercation when one John Garvey interfered, which so enraged Connors thai he drew his gun and tired at Garvey, but, instead of injuring his victim, the bullet flew wide of its mark and grazed the scaip of Louis Tallefliu, a by-stander. Officers were attracted by the shot and Connors was promptly lodged in jaii. On his arrival at police headquarters, two other charges were lodged against him, both for robbery. It was learned that a man answering to his description had entered a store on the coruer of Second South and Third West streets and purloined $1,25 from the till and subsequently had entered a Com-mercial street barber shop where he stole several razors. Louis Talleffln, who received the benefit of the bullet, although not dangerously in-jured, is suffering from a severe scalp wound. Connors was found guilty and sentenced to six months' imprisonment and $t00 fine with costs. No appeal will be taken. He Obstructed the Track. Charley Reilly, who was convicted about a year and a half ago of placing obstructions on the Utah & Nevada track for the purpose of wrecking a train, yesterday completed the term of imprisonment to which he waa sentenced and was released from the peni-tentiary. On the trial, there was evidence THE TIME IS INAUSPICIOUS. And so the Sons of Toil will Make No De-monstration. This is labor day, and while the labor or-ganizations of the country at large are mak-ing demonstrations, the day is not being observed at all in Salt Lake. It was the in-tention to have a parade here, but, at the last moment the heads of the Fedeiated Trades announced that the proposed demon-stration bad been postponed. A TlMjtS reporter hunted up President Slcater of the Federated Trades this after-noo- n, and when asked why the order had been eiiauired he said: "Simply because the time is not auspicious. The workingmen are doing fairly well, and the situation scarcely justifies us in making demands now. We may have: a demonstration later on, and when t'iie Federated Trades meet a week from Friday some action may be taken in the matter.'" AN ANARCHIST PLOT o Blow Up the Hot.-- de Ville, Paris-Sec- ret Meeting Held. 4 Paris, May 2. A number of reactionary youths held a secret meeting Saturday night with the object of forming an anarchist as-sociation. Many incoherent speeches were made which promised little practical re-sults. The movement may, however, lead to a demonstration in which anarchists are likely to be roughly handled. A quantity of explosives were seized today in an anarch-ist's residence at Villemomble, the police having got wind of a plot to destroy the Ho-tel de Ville. One person was arrested, while a numbeaof others escaped. Paris, May 2. The Paris papers generally commenting on the quietness shown by the anarchist give out a warning that appear- ances are deceitful and that it will not do to Suppose that trouble with the anarchists is t an end. Keports from all points of im-portance in the provinces today show that no serious disorder occurred anywhere yes-terday. It is stated that the Marquis de Mores challenged a municipal councillor who in-sultingly referredto him in a public speech yesterday.

It comes from a direct source, that Wen-dell Beuson, with some other have purchased the large tract adjoining the new stockyards aud known as the Cooper tract. The purchase price is said tc be $50,000. A Timk.s reporter called on Mr. Benson this morning to obtain the particu-lars but he had gone to Logan. It Is the in-tention of the buyers to lay the tract out into lots and make a townsite of it after the manner of South Omaha, iu which Mr. Ben-son was at onetime interested. The inform-ant of The Times, who is himself a paity to the transaction, said that the deal was prac-tically closed though the papers were not yet all complete because the number of the last owners is great and all of them have not yet been able to sign. IJSTKRKST1NO l?iTF,RVIEWS. .Prominent Business Men Express Their Views on Utah's Stock Industry. Capt. J. H. Waite, secretary and treasurer of the Geo. R. Barse Live Steele Commission Co., Kansas City, and J. P..Tough, manager of the horse and mule department of the Kansas City stock yards are in the city in the interests of their firms. When seen by a Times reporter this morn-ing, Capt. Waite said that Kansas City was very anxious to secure Utah's cattle trade. The class of stock wbjch his firm was espeeiallv anxious to secure was "feeders." Kaunas City is the center of the great grain belt and it was the especial mission of his firm to buy western cattle and place them with the large farmers of that vicinity who raise immense crops or corn, but who have not the capital to x'urchase stock and feed it. This stock remains the property of the firm and is returned by the farmers when fattened surficieutly for market. The Barse Company last year handled 100,000 "feeders" besides the large amount of fat stock which they annually purchase, and it is the com-pany secretary's iutcntion to increase their business this year and to secure as much Utah range stock as possible. This plan of handling-wester-stock will materially benefit the stockmen of Utah and will be hailed with ple-isur-e by our rauchmen. Capt. Waite and wife will depart this evening for a few days visit to the coast, after which they expect to return and the Captain will devote consider-able time and atteution to perfecting ar-rangements for a generous patronage from the ranch and stock men of Salt Lake and the territory to this market. ' Capt. Tough is also engaged in an enter-prise which will work great benefits to horse growers. Nearly all cattlemen who own large ranches aud make iarsre shipments of stock also raise a goodly number of ranee horse. Hitherto branded horses, on being shipped to the eastern marts scarcely found a market, except at a very nominal figure. Tho reason too this is that branded horses have been shioped priucipally from Texas and this class of stock has a universal reputation for viciousness. Science has done away with the antie(uate-i- l horse car and transfer companies hae substituted switches and car lines for the d transfers, and these changes have nearly ruined the home market in large cities. The Kansas City Stockyards company, however, had a number of branded horses forced upon them last year which compelled them to search for a larger home market. This was found in the cotton Browing districts where horse's are scarcely able to stand the climate for more than two or three years when they must necessarily I e replaced by Others. The company has now opened a horse aud mule department and has a large amphitheater arranged where horses are brought into the enclosure and sold at auction; the sales here, by the way average one every two minutes. It is the intention of this depart-ment to induce the grower and buyer to meet on a common ground. In Kansas City under the existing circumstances, much loss is entailed from shipping branded horses east and in many instances shippers are compelled to trade their horses for chips and whetslones or im-perfectly titled real estate in order to avoid the expense incurred in holding for a better market. The plan is well under headway and Capt. Tough is confident of building up a large trade in horses among the cotton planters and the firm will expend $200,000 in their efforts. Another advantage to be derived is in the care of mortgaged horse in which event the finu is ready to receive con-signments. The principal banks of the city have already been visited and arrangements are perfected for carrying this out. Capt. Tough expects to to spend a few days in Idaho to make similar arrangements with horsemen of that state after which he will return to Salt Lake and stay over a short time before proceeding on his return trip. Utah stockroan may look forward to a new and more prosperous era in stockraising. VIS1TINO CATTLE MEN. They Look Over our Stockyards and Praise our City. A delegation of cattle men from the Oirden conventic n passed yesterday in the city. The party was en route to their eastern homes. They visited the many poiuts of in-terest during the day, besides looking over the Union stockyards, under the espionage of several of Salt Lake's representative busi-ness men.

"When 1 retire from business I shall come here to live. I visited Salt, Lake in 189. Then it was a wonder, now it is a marvel. New buildings greet the eye, paved streets, extended street car service, stock yards, gas wells aud a thou-sand and one other things combine to give .ca! to the energy of the citizens of the ity." 'I am delighted with this city," said A. 8. Mercer of the lAee Sipck Jrttrrxl. "The fu-ture holds her choicest (rifts in store for the people of Salt Lake. But they must so af-ter tbem. They will not be forked over sim-ply on demand." THE STOCK. OKOWKKS' ASSOCIATION. John Oerby States Its Ohjectand is Enthu-siastic Over Its Future.

DEEMING IS GUILTY. Tho Jury Returns a Verdict Thi3 Kerning Adding; that the Prisoner Is Not Insane. IN WHICH ALL PEOPLE ACQUIESCE. Deeming's Explanation as to How His Wives Disappeared Narrated by Dr. Springthorp. The Murderer's Story Without Truth iu Any Particular lie Killed 11. Wife and Children. Mei.boi-rne- , May 3 The trial of Freder-ick Bailey Deeming for the murder of his wife was resumed this morning. The first witness called was Dr. Springthorp, who re-lated Deeming's explanation of how his wives disappeared. Deeming said while ho and first wife were living at Rainbill near Liverpool a mat) named Ben Young told him that his (Deem-ing's) wife would leave him for fifty pounds. He paid him the money and his wife left, him. He supposed Young killed her, whilu he (Deeming) was coming to Melbourne with his second wife (Miss Mather) for whose murder he is now on trial. His second wife. Deeming said, confessed that she was already married and left him in Melbourne because she was afraid of be-ing implicated in the murder of his first wife. The fact is that the Raiuhill murder was known to no one save Deeming until after it was known that he killed his second wife. It was the disovcry of the latter crime that led the police here to notify the Liver-pool police of their suspicion that Deeming had murdered his wife, and it will le seen that his statement relative to his second wife leaving him for fear of being impli-cated in the Rainhill murders is without truth. After some further testimony by Dr. St. Sprinirthorp, the defense announced that its case was closed. After the evidence was all, in Deeming's counsel appealed to the jury to give tho prisoner the benefit of any doubt as to his sanity. The court room was packed with people who wished to hear the jury an-nounce their decision. No one thought it would take them long to decide. Outside of the court house, a large crowd assembled, clamorously impatient for the verdict, and finally became so demonstrative that the police were forced to clear the streets. The announcement of the verdict was trreeted with expressions of general sat-isfaction. A VERDICT OF GUILT t. Melbourne, May 2. The jury in tha Deeming case returned a verdict this morn-ing of guilty, and added that the prisoner was not insane. W A WOMAN AS A DELEGATE.

It belongs to the bean familj The leaves look some-thing like a lima bean, and it was once called dolichos jeponicus. It will grow easily sixty feet in three months. It was in-troduced into America by the Japanese dur-ing the Centennial exhibition. It is said that in its own country it has flowers like bunches of wistaria. For some reason American summers do not seem long enough for it. It rarely blooms. It is used in Japiu as a forage plant. Medicine is made from its roots. Flour is oiso made from its roots, which is as nutritive as that furnished by' the potato; it is obtained by simply grinding in water, and the starch falls to'the bottom. The peeled stems are made into cloth. The roots grow to an enormous size. The tops dies to the ground sometimes, when it seems like a herbaceous plant. It is extremely valuable for rapidly covering anything in one season, besides being always interest-ing to the lover of the wonderful, on ac-count of its growth. World's Sculling Championship.

Advances Looking to a Compromise of the Rustler War in Wyoming1. WHICH CATTLEMEN SAY IS GAUZY They do not Believe the Officers are Able to Protect Their Lives or Iuteresta, While the Peacemakers Insist that a Sow Leaf will be Turned Over and Every-body will he-- If i,.-- . Chetexxe, Wyo., May 2. Advances look-ing to a compromise between the stock men and rustlers have been made by representa-tives of Johnson county. The olive branch has been extended in the shape of a paper addressed to the cattle owners which recites that the authorities of Johnson county invite all owners who have participated in the recent armed invasions and trustworthy aud discreet persons to their ranches to look after the rounding up and preservation of their property. The paper which is signed by the county commissioners and sheriff pledges the cattlemen full protection of their interests. The proclamation has been received by : the cattlemen with a feeling of resentment. Fred G. Hess, manacr for Dr. Harris said. "Thi3 thing is as gauzy as the offers to pro-tect our persons in Johnson county. I don't believe the officers of the county are able to protect us. Tho rustlers own Johnson county and they say so and none can dispute the claim." The peace makers insist that a new leaf will be turned over; that the best citizens propose to stop stealing at any cost. Oue emissary of north Franklin explains that there is to be a reform in the hope of retain-ing in the county taxable wealth in the shape of herds soon to be driven to Montana and elsewhere. The peace delegation from Johnson is much discouraged at the rebuff they have received from the cattlemen but say they will make new overtures and hope to bridge over the difficulty. m 'tz The Lead ville Eire. r Leahville, Colo., May 2.
