The Murderer of a Snake Valley Ranchman Goes to Prison tor 13 Sluyrisii Years. He Preferred Death to Imprisonment but the Court was Unable to Accommodate Him. A TURNKEY OUTWITTED. The Prisoners Overpower and Looking Him in His Own Empire Take Frenoh Leave. DOUTRE REFUSED TO GO Ami So the Court Took Two Tears Off th Number He had In Stare for the Slayer of William W, Stephens. The last act in the career of Trefley Doutra as a natural born tragedian was closed at Provo this morning when at 10 o'clock Judge Blackburn commanded him to stand up and sentenced him to imprisonment foi eighteen years for the murder of William W. Stephens, a ranchman over iu the Snake Valley, near the Nevada line. In pronouncing sentence Judge Klackhirn ptated that it was his intention to have sentenced the prisoner to confinement Eor Twenty Years, but that having refused the opportunity to mska his escape in the jail delivery that had taken place last nhfht lie would reduce it to The eighteen he prisoner was deeply affected and stated that preferred death to the loss of liJwrty. Sentiment generally has been prejudiced againot Dontre, who was once before .convicted, jointlv with his brother Aleck, of murder in th second degree for the killiuir of a neighbor fc a feud that has existed almost since the settlement of the valley. On this latter occasion it was that he had murdered Stephens when there wa no reasonable provocation, and that his careei1 of crime might be brought to un end the public generally fought lor a term that would practically over the Measure of a Lifetime. Dontre could have easily made his escape last night when the jail birds made the br-a- k for lib-erty, but refused the chance. The delivery was a clever one. Jailur Mitchell who was made hia own prisoner behind the liars of the prison over which he himself presides, states he was serving veoper host to the prisoners when P iediuan, a convict, who was thern from the pen it. .jtlarv overpowered huu from the rear whik! Frank Pierce, a tramp who was recently arrested for burglary, confronted him W ith a Large Knife and threatened to disembowel hini if he sounded the alarm. .Joined by two others Mitchell was drilled to ilie jaifud the door was locked uixm him. The prisoners then whirled and made their ocape leuving the turnkey under his own strong lock and key. A posse started in pursuit but 0M fugitives were still at large at 2 o'clock this after- noon. MULLEN'S SUCCESSOR. Two Factious in the Union Pacific Director-ate Would Name Him Some of the Men Whoso Names are Mentioned. Who the successor to Mr. Mellen will be is causing considerable speculation nowadays among railroad men. There is plenty of time yet for the situation to change, for it is not probable that Mr Mellen's successor will be named until after the annual elec-tion, which takes place on April 2-- The Ames contingent is making strenuous efforts to get control of the directorship and if suc-cessful the situation seems to indicate that General Freight Agent Monroe will probably be appointed. If. the Gould-Sag- e combination continues in favor of the appointment of Mr. Leeds, formerly with theJMissouri Pacific, will prob-ably follow. Leeds is one of Gould's pets and a flr6t-clas- s traffic manager. The an-nual election will be watched for with a great deal of interest, and if the Ames crowd get control many changes are likely to fol-low. In this connection the name of S. T. Smith has beeu mentioned. The Union Pacific is Mr. Smith's ;"first love" in railroading, and though he has declared his intention of stay-ing out of the railroad business for a year, he may prove an important faction in the new make-uj- , after the "lection. .

In the house yesterday Mr. Funston of Kansas rising to a question of privilege, sent to the clerk s desk and had read an article published in the New York Voice, which, for ten minute?, kept the house in a whirlwind of laughter and merriment. The article, which is headed, "A Few of the Congressional Tipplers," goes on to mention the names of a dozen or more sen-ators and an equal number of representa-tives who at the senate and house restaur-ants had been seen indulging in intoxicating lliquors. His ( Mr. Funston's) name was one of those mentioned, and he believed the ar-ticle was intended to affect the primaries in his district. Laughter. After many good-nature- d remarks by dif-ferent representatives, Mr. Funston, in un-measured terms, and in language more for-cible than polite, denounced the correspond- ent of the Voice, and called upon decent cor-respondents to kick him out of town. Mr. Lewis of Mississippi suggested that the correspondent was a woman. Mr. Funston It makes no difference whether she is a lady or a street-walke- r. I am standing here in my own defense. Hisses in ttie gallery. Mr. Wheeler of Alabama made the point of order that the gentleman should not use such language on the floor of the houe. Mr. Funston said he informed that the jiorrespondent was not a woman. He had een told the name of the man who wrote article. Mr. Funston then took his seat Snid hisses. Mr. Wheeler of Alabama, rising to a ques-tion of privilege, offered a resolution declar-ing that it was due to the good name of the house of representatives that the remarks made by Mr. Funston relative to a woman, should be expunged from the liei ord. Mr. Burrows asked the gentleman to with-hold his resolution. He was assured by the gentleman from Kansas that anything that could be criticised would be eliminated from lh Ftconl. Mr. Wheeler said that with that assurance le would allow the resolution to lie upon the ;abie. gBTfT CHICAGO LIVE STOCK. ';335hjfcA,o, April S.

A NEW WELL SURVEYED. Two Crews Sent Out Today and Active Ar-rangements Begun for Another Well The Proposition to Buy Up the Entire Issue of Stock. The atmosphere over in the region of the Salt Lake Improvement and Natural Gas company is exhileratiug. The reports from the seat of operations are more bracing to-day than at any time since the oil strike was registered, and preparations for the tanking of it denotes a most satisfactory condition out at the wells. Today a zinc tank manufactured by Messrs. Scott ifc Co. was sent out and in a few days the company say they will be ready to extend their hospitalities to the public.

This is signilicant. At the company's offices this afternoon the reporter was informed that there was no donbt as to The Existence of Oil on the property, that a troop of experts had pronounced it equal to any prospect in any country, and that they had concluded to take definite steps to the handling of the wary and elusive fluid. Two crews were also sent out during the day to the new well upon which a rigging has been placed and boring will progress by night and day. The presence of a stack of cablegrams on the secretary's desk would indicate that a boom had arrived in Britain while that it obtained a cordial reception was confirmed by the certificates of stock is-sued to Queen's subjects. "We have had a proposition," said Cap-tain Midd'.einiss, "to sell out Gun, Stock and Barrel to the Britishers, but they have not reached our price, or the price of a good thing. The oil strike has been confirmed by sucli men as Mr. John C. C. Glanfleld and others, and all we ask is that the people of Salt Lake give us the to which we are entitled."

The afternoon session was devoted to business.

Dempsey is a veteran. One of the most memorable of his rencon-tres was his meeting of Tom Meadows, the clever Australian, at Tia Juana, Mexico. Dempsey was defeated and Meadows went back to California with his star away up in the tiriname.nt. A match was made for him with Patsy Duffy of Boston. Duffy defeated him after a stubborn tight, anil going back to Boston was soon laid away, under the sod. Iu the meantime Meadows was itching under the lash of defeat and was gradually yielding to a living death. He was finally shipped to England where his faculties finally gave way and today he is a raving maniac in a refuge for the mad.

F-- , conveys the important in-formation that tho legislature of the island, at the dictation of the White vray ministry, and by a strict party vote, has refused to sanction a modus vivendi with Canada. If Newfoundland refuses to give British sub-jects the same rights in British waters as those enjoyed and exercised by foreigners, then the time will soon come when Brit-ish power must enforce an equality of rights. . m . IT WAS MURDER. I'reietai's of th a Cold Blooded Killing Ieputy tthrrffT"fr jii-T'-- - The Leadville Herald --Democrat gives the following particulars of the cold blooded murder of "Billy" McAhan at Creede: "I did not see the shooting of 'Red' Mc- Ahan, by Light, a brother-iii-la-of "Soapy Smith,' " said a miner who came in from Creede yester-day afternoon, "but learned nearly all the particulars before leaving Creede. It appears thut the Smith men up there travel in a gang, and are a perfect terror. It was shortly after 3 o'clock when flye of them went into Dave Long's place, where McAhan was standing. Light made some insulting remark to McAhan, when tho former knocked him down, and drawing his gun put two shots into the defenseless man, killing him instantly. One of the gang then went outside and tired three or four shots, two of which took effect in the casing of a window in Sponsilier's place just across tho street. The gun was then placed in the dead man's pocket to make it appear that the murder was in self defense. Lighu walked out buB was not arrested." "Was a coroner's inquest held?'' "Yes, the coroner's inquest was held. No one was admitted but the witnesses, except witnesses for the defence, and a verdict of self-defene- e was returned at once. To tell the truth, the jury was afraid to return any other verdict. There is a great deal of feel-ing over the matter up there, 'even among the business men, but they don't dare to say anything. 1 was stopped several times by my friends for expreesing my opinion too freely about the matter. The whole truth is, the Smith element has the camp under a reign of terror. The murdered man was spoken of as a quiet, inoffensive fellow, never known to quarrel, and it is only ,t matter of time when a vigilance committee will be organized there to wipe the Smith element entirely out. Everybody seems to be afraid to say anything, but just now they are, doing a heap of thinking. "Does Bob Ford belong to the gang?" "No. Soapy's men seem to have it in for Bob, but they are cowards and only shoot unarmed men. They know if they go for Bob they will tind a man armed, and that he will shoot. I was toid that one tough went looking for Bob with a shotgun some time ago, but did not find him. I notice. Light did not lose much time in getting away. Ho did not go on to Denver. I think he will gt to. Oklahoma, where he came from. Aly honest conviction is, the reign of terror will continue tip there until the vigilantes run Smith and his gang out. I don't care to have my name mentioned in connection with what you publish, but I assure you what I have said is true. I have to go back there on business matters, and I have no desire to be picked out as a mark." Crops in Ohio. Columbus, O., April 8. The crop bulletin of the state board of agiieulture, just issued, esti-mfc- - the wheat crop of this year at nn inuwtte over last! year's crop of 5,000,000, The barley yield is estimated at T8 per cent of last year's crop : rye, 76 per cent ; corn, 85 per cent, and fruit 74 per ceat.

The proposed big irrigation canal is calculated to make a new state of Nevada. Hon. Frank C. Newlands and others are at the head of the project. It is proposed to take water from the Truckee river in Nevada county and to carry it a maximum distance of sixty miles, irrigating 75,000 acres of land in Lemrnou, Long, Piosser, Spanish and other sagebrush val-leys. The promoters already own ample reservoir sites and water rights and it is cal-culated that $1,000,000 will build the canal, which is to be twenty feet wide and four feet deep, carrying 210,000 inches of water.
