Convict Robart will have bad qtiite a thrill-ing experience by the time he is safely lodged behind the bars again, as he assuredly will be. After being fired at by the guards on the night that Kerrn M as taken, he made his way back towards the Summit, and at 12 o'clock last night some teamsters found him, still attired in his convict garb. They proceeded to tie him up with stout ropes and took him into camp. He was allowed to lay down, and along towards morning suc-ceed in untying the ropes, and started off again. The camp was aroused as he de-parted, and several shots were fired at him as he disappeared in the darkness, but pre-sumably without effect. It is certain that both Robart and Cum mings are now in the canyon, and it is so guarded that their capture is only a ques. tion of time. CONVICT DISCHARGED. Hepworth Grimshaw, who on October 13, 1S91, was sentenced to one year's imprison- ment for adultery committed in the Beaver district, was released from the penitentiary today.

OX TRIAL FOK INSANITY. Henry Spencer, a well-know- n -- haractcr in this city, was up before Judge Bartch this morning on a charge of insanity, preferred by his sister, Elizabeth Worthington. Spencer is a fruit peddler, and was some years ago committed to the county infirm-ary as an indigent, and has alwavs been con-sidered a little otl his base. The case was continued until 4 o'clo ck this afternoon. Held for Assault With Intent to Murder.

It will toe remembered that last year a large number of taxpayers residing in the sprinkling; district in the southeastern part of the c ty( brought suit against Assessor Clute to have him restrained from collecting the sprinkling tax levied. Now Wilford Woodruff, V 3. W. Taylor, O. H. Raleigh, William Fuller and a large number of others have joined in the suit and ask that Assessor Leonard be. restrained from collecting these taxes. Judge Anderson today granted a temporary injunction, pending the hearing of the case, tipoa a bond in the sum of $7000 being filed by the new plaintiffs. The bond was filed thia afternoon . FOB BREACH OP CONTRACT. The Pioneer Savings and Loan company this morning brought suit in the third dis-trict court against H. P. Mason and William Roberts. It teems that the plaintiff last year loaned-L- . C. Cone $5,000 on his agree-in- g to erect a bouse in Cone & Robert's ad-dition with the money, the defendants in the case being sureties. It is alleged that the agreement was not carrried out and that the improvements made do not exceed $2,500; that Cone is insolvent and unable to pay the deficiency.

Printers Will Observe tabor Day Note and Personals. Labor day, which falls on the second Mon-day in September, bids fair to be fittingly observed by the trades unions of this city. There will probably be no parade such as there was one year ago, but excursions, pic-nics, speechmaking and many other forms of remembering the day will go Jo make up a strong attraction to the manifold laboring classes. At the last meeting of the Typo-graphical Union the following committee was appointed to look after the labor-da- y in-terests of the type-stickin- g boys: R. G. Sleator, J. 8. Daveler, George Benham, Wm. Kelsey and Harry Goodwin. The committee is a good one, and it can be relied upon that whatever it does will be of interest to the craft. "There is a reasonable probability that the plumbers strike will soon be amicably ad-justed," said R. G. Slcator to a Times re-porter this morning. "The arbitration com-mittee has matter in hand which look toward a most favorable solution of the diffi-culty. Favorable concessions have been made by the clumbers, who have done all in their power to bring the matter to an early settlement. But the bosses have been back-ward." The plumbers struck for $5 and eight hours work. Their agreement with the bosses expired on the 30th of June. Notice was given the master plumbers that de-mand of a raise of the scale and a decrease of hours would be made, but the plumbers were ignored and a strike was ordered. All firms in the city have granted the scale but one or two and tbe arbitration committee has every reason to believe ail the men who are out now will be at work next week. One of the new labor unions that promises much is the Bakers, which was or-ganized by General Organizer Sleator last week. The union numbers forty members and has a representation in the f ederated Trades that will carefully guard the interests of the bakers. The laboring classes intend to be repre-sented in the coming campaign in asubstan- - tial manner if such a thing is possible, and it is said all things are possible to those who are assiduou". A movement is on foot to place J. S. Daveler of the Typographical union in nomination as the Liberal candi-date for sheriff. Mr. Daveler is the most prominent member of his union and is a recognized friend of the laboring classes. A reporter asked Mr. Daveler if he was aware that his name had been broached as the probable selection of the working men as their standard bearer on the Liberal ticket in the coming campaign. He said he had been approached to see" if his name could be used, but would neither deny or affirm that he was in the race. Speaking of the Typogiaphical union, re-minds the writer that that body of laboring men is one of the strongest organizations financially in the world. The local union here believes in "high dues," and the history of labor organizations teaches that the strongest unions are those which pay the most dues. It builds the organization finan-cially and inspires the members with their strength and power. The Typographical union appropriated $100 for the Plumbers' union to assUt them in their present strike, at their last meeting. It is such evidences of fraternity that bind together the Uades unions in thu bonds of friendship andjeach ih.e-v.oiitj-:s toxiuejBt..harmorjy anlfedf ration. ." f e The Tribune and Herald eompositoKSvara trying to get up a base-ba- il club that iili make it interesting for The Times and day pi inters. The printers' union are goiug to observe Labor day with great eclat. The painters are getting a big shove on them these last few days and propose to turn out a number of men on Labor day that w ill astonish a great many of those who have held out, refusing to give their help and assistance to tho few who have been struggling to keep the trade together. This week they have gained fourteen new mem-bers, and the outlook for a flourishing union, such as Salt Lake once had, is very promis-ing. Mr. M. J. Jones, one of the stannchest members, has taken his family and himself off to Cache valley for a much needed rest. He pxnects to he absent about three weeks. Mrs. S. .1. Coombs has left for a fifteen days' trip to friends at Brigham City. We beiievc Mi s.Coombs had reason to go on this trip, as U was found out by the boys today that the reason Ssim was out evenings was his baby, wh;i took the prize at the lake last Tuesday. (He treated.) THE SILVER DECLINE. IIEXPwY CLEWS GIVES HIS VIEAVS ON THE QUESTION. It Is the Subject of Comment on Wall Street, and the Statement is Made That Silver Ieals Are Manipu-lated in Order to Produce an Ef-fect I'pon Ail Values as Well as Upon Stocks It Should be Taken From the Lists. New York, Aug. 12. The steady decline in the price of silver has been the subject of all manner of talk pro and con on Wail street for a month past and yesterday it was renewed with vigor. Henry Clews, in speak-ing on the silver question said: "The re-cent depreciation in 6ilver is largely the re-su- it of manipulation and a bear attack for the purpose of producing an effect upon values and products as well as upon stocks. It serves no good purpose, therefore, for silver to be dealt with on the New York ex-change at the present time, especially when uch results are aimed at and are so easy of accomplishment. During the war gold was originally dealt in on the New York stock exchange, and was moved up aud down, most erratically, for speculative purposes. The effect was seen to be injurious and it was stricken from the list and dealings in it prohibited. The same thing should be done now with regard to silver, for the white metal now occupies the same position at the exchange in its dealings as did gold during the war period." VETOED EIGHT HOURS MAYOR BASKIX'WILL NOT SIGN THE NEW LABOR ORDINANCE. He Will Send It Back to the Connrll Xext Tuesday Evening; tiivins Ills Reasons for Refnsins to Let the Measure Become a Law-Petit-ion to be Filed as a Protest. Mayor Baskin has decided to veto the eight-hou- r "ordinance. His message will ba laid before the city council at the Dxt meet-ing, Tuesday nighty The ordinance was passed by ths council last Tuesday evening. There was gr eat re-joicing among workingmen of tbe city and members of labor organizations were jubilant over what they regarded as a signal viciory. The mayor's objections to the ordinance have been written out and ready for presen-tation to the council? The document is a lengthy one and the reasons for the mayor's action profound. He does not think the or- - , dinaacc legal. If The Times information is accurate the mayor regards the measure as Hence the action. Laboring men are likely to indulge la In-dignant comments. Petitions bearing the names of "hundreds will be filed as a pro-test. The vetoed ordinance is- a copy of the Chi-cago ordinance, and was presented by Mr. Moran, who is one of the founders of the Federated Trades council of Salt Lake. vouchsafed him, eminent counsel enlisted in his service and every nerve strained to make or him a plausible defense. The handwriting was on the wall, however, for TUBLIC OPINION WAS AGAINST THEM. Strategy was then employed. One day two cans, each bearing the label of a favorite fruit, were received at the jail for Wiggiu. To the trained eye of the jailer there was something suspicious about them. They were opened and each found to con-tain a revolver, loaded and primed ready for service. It was never proven that Lottie had been the agent by which they were procured, but it is a matter of record that 6he has never denied the impeachment. In time Wiggin was arraigned before Judge Emerson for murder, tried, con-victed and sentenced to death. His wife never lost courage for an instant and proved to her own satisfaction, at least, that where there is a will there is a way. The executive of the territory, then Governor Axtell, was im-portuned to aid her in her effort to save her husband's life. While the governor person-ally lent a.friendly ear to her pleadings, of-ficially he declined to act. The case was finally taken. t TO THE SUPREME COURT of the United States, and there the decision of che twelve good men and true was re-versed. That was based on the refusal of the court below to admit the testimony cf a witness named Bob Houton. During all the proceedings subsequent to his trial Wiggin was confined in the terri-torial penitentiary, and in those days it of-fered no more obstacles to the enterprising prisoner who desired to seek pastures new than it apparently does in these latter days. One afternoon Wiggin disappeared, and at locking-u- p time there was a vacant bunk in the steel-barre- d cells. With the connivance, it is said,' of a friendly guard, Wiggin gained au entry into the in-side enclosure, sealed the adobe wall which then surrounded the prison, and nevermore was seen by those, whose particular charge he had been. Searching parties were organ-ized and the country for scores of miles thoroughly explored, but Wiggin was "in the hands of his friends" and their efforts resulted in failure. At one time he was vir-tually surrounded by the marshal's posse, but THE QUICK WIT OF HIS FAITHFUL WIFE saved him. It was on a fain near Fort Her-rima- n, the only property the couple had left, and the posse was paying it a visit of in-spection. The leader called at the house while his men dismounted in close proxim-ity to a haystack, and summoning Lottie to the doer asked: "Is Jack here?" "Jack here!" was the laughing reply. "I should say not! Poor fellow, he is far away by this time!" The mirthful peals of her voice died away in the sobs which she could not suppress, tears dimmed the eyes which fear has never caused to waver, and with a kindly adieu the leader rode silently to his men, gave the order to mount, and in a few minutes their forms were but tiny specks on the horizon. --- It was then the haystack was visited and in a voice tremulous with excitement she cailed: "Jack! Jack! The coast is clear!' There was a rise in fodder and the anxious face of Wiggin appeared. It was a close call. Again woman's wit was triumphant over the sagacity of the man-hunte- rs and woman's tears THE SESAME TO TIJEIR HEARTS. In a short time Wiggin was re ady for travel. In a buckboard, drawn by two of the best horses money could procure, he made, by almost-forgotte- n trails and roads, his way to the coast aud from thence he proceeded east in disguise and finally lo-cated in Kansas where smallpox scored him as a victim. His case was a celebrated one, and was made 60 by the rare fidelity of his wife, but it is not until now that the people of Utah can realize the full measure of work one brave woman could perform.

The recent escape of Albert Kerm, the burglar, from the penitentiary and his sensa-tional capture near Park City, Thursday, again brings into prominence a womanjwho has had a most eventful life. She can boast of more trials, tribulations and sorrows than generally fall to the lot of the weaker sex, and her experiences, if embodied in a novel, would not need the tinge of romance to render her history seusationai and interest-ing. Born in a quiet eastern village, when the century had scarcely passed its meridian, she, at an early aire, sought the then wild western country aud soon became en rapport with its customs and y style. After a varied experience in the silver camps to the westward, she nnd her husband ar-rived in Salt Lake about fifteen years ago. Ever since, although she has been almost constantly before the public, UCH LIFE HAS UK EX AN ENIGMA to the authorities, a mystery to her associ-ates, and not, to put it mildly, a source of pleasure or profit to herself. The advent of this woman into public notori-ety was signalized by the shedding of human biood. Now that the desperado Kerru lies on a bed of piin, his frame racked oy the wounds caused by a quartette of buckshot, there are not a few old-timer- s here who arc of the opinion that she was born under an unlucky star, and that her pathway in life was blazed in advance by an evil spirit. Petite in figure, with hair as black as the raven's wing, an eye as gentle as a dove's in repose, but as gleaming and bright as a star in heaven when aroused, and clad in THE SOMBRE WEEDS OF WIDOWHOOD, she is often seen in the streets of Salt Lake when the friendly shades of night have been lowered by an angel' hand. To the reader of character sho would be at ouce selected as a woman with a history. . Shortly after the arrival of herself and husband in this city, he his name was Jack Wiggin opened a saloon and billiard parlor on the- premises now occupied by Charley P.irker on Main street. As Wiggin was a thorough man of the world, generous to a fault and equally at home behind the bar, at the gaming table or in the haunts of pleasure, he became popular and was soon numbered among the successful caterers of the city. One night as he was preparing to go "off watch'' John Kramer, who was known to every man, woman and child in the city as 'Dutch. John," and Bill Bean engaged him in an argument. That finally ended in a dispute in which harsh words were uttered and dire threats made. "Dutch John" and Bill Bean, it Is said, be-longed to the desperado class, and a less nervy man than Wig-gi- n would have placated them at any cost. Wiggin, however, had an unlimited amount of 'sand." He had more than one "engagement" prior to that, which hud resulted in only one actor being left on the scene WIIEX TIT F, CURTAIN WAS KUXO DOWN. In consequence, when involved in a quarrel he cared lor neither God, man nor the devil. Cool, exasperating and methodical AVig-gi- n, so the ctory goes, soon had the gore-Fct-kt- rs at a white heat of passion. As a re-sult, Bill Bean plucked a revolver from its holster, leveled it at his tormentor's head and prepared to send him to the other shore. In some manner how it was done will never be known Wiggin was too quick for him. He seized the weapon just as the linger of the would-b- e murderer pressed tbe trigger, and with it fellen him to the Door. The next moment Bean was lying on the sidewalk bleeding and dazed. "Dutch John," parture of Wiggin the woman's life was no more eventful than others following the calling she had entered upon as a means of livlihood. and although her house was al-ways viewed with suspicion by those who are supposed to never sleep, no charge of a serious nature was laid at her door. In time she married again, her husband this time being BILL MINER, AN OLD TIME SPORT, who was well-know- n in almost every mining camp in the West. Their life together, from all accounts, was a happy one. He found a congenial occupation in acting as the agent of Fortune for the benefit of those who were inclined to gamble on the green, while she succeeded in forgetting the past in the active life which the management of a lively maixon de joce imposes. It was during this comparatively happy time that Kerm ap-peared upon the scene. He was a frequent visitor to her house, became an Intimate muttering a threat of vengeance, friend in time of her husband and was at hastened to the aid of his friend. A few minutes later Wiggin had apparently for-gotte- n all about the fracas. He laughed and joked with his friends, was hail-fello-well- me- t before the mahogany and whiled away the time to the hour when his wife always appeared to accompany him home, in Iris usual affable and entertaining man-ner. Promptly on time, his helpmate appearod, and in company with two friends, the home-ward march begun. On a carriage step in frout of the old Salt Lake house sat "Dutch John." The outcome of his trouble had displeased him; he had made numerous threats of vengeance against Wiggin, and his attitude was that of a man who was pondering deeply. A brave aud desperate man himself, he was, no doubt, humiliated by the manner in which he had been deft- :;-ed. I There was at least one man in the city who believed that he would resent it. That roan was Jack Wiggin. He was walking by thtr side of Nigbtwatchmau Tom Dobson P when he passed "Dutch John" and HE NERVOUSLY CLUTCHED THE PISTOL he had wrested from Bill Bean. Suddenly Wiggin pushed Dobson slightly to the front, and, extending his arms be-hind the watchman, there was a puff of smoke, a sharp report aud "Dutch John" w;is plnced beyond the power of doing fur-ther harm. But Wiggin was not satisfied. Willi the agility of a panther he leaped upon the carriage step and as his victim essayed to rise he cruelly scut another leadeu mes-senger into his vitals. "Dutch John" reeded over in the paroxysms of death anl Wiggin . coolly regained the sidewalk aud nonchalant)7 rejoined his wife. Wiggin was arrested, and while awaiting trinl confined in the county jail. It was then that Lottie Wiggin proved how loyal it was possible for a woman to ba to the man she loved. By day rtid by night she worked in bis defense. Every comfort aud luxury was ways spoken of by her as her nephew. Then followed the commission of the crime and the events connected therewith which were so fully chronicled in Thursday's Times, and in his hour of trouble he found in her a staunch friend. It is said that it was with her money that counsel were employed to make the stubborn contest in the courts and it is a fact that during his confinement at the county jail no prisoner .had better food, bet-ter or cleaner raiment, or more attention shown him. Quietly she has performed THE GENTLE OlFICES OF FRIEXDSHIP in an open manner and for that reason in some quarters she is believed to have been a prime mover in his recent disastrous breas for liberty. During the past eighteen months she has herself been under the ban of the law and an object of suspicion to almost the entire community. Those who know her best claim that her intense and unswerving loyalty is again to blame for the appear-ance of the legal thorns that have beset her pathway of late. On the morning of June 5, 1S91, Edward Callihan, a sporting man of Salida, Col., in company with Josie Hill, a prepossessing cyprian, deparled, in a buggy, from Lottie's place on Franklin avenue, bent on an ex-cursion to a roadside resort on the State road. He was known to be in possession of a large sum of money, as he delighted, when in his cups, in boasting of his wealth. WITH PLEASURE AS HIS GO he drove forth to the embrace of death. Two hours later Josie Hill drove frantically iuto the city and informed Officer Saunders that Callihan had been waylaid by thugs aud robbed. Jumping into the buggy the couple, after giving tho alarm, returned posthaste to where the attack was made, and were hor-rified to find that murder as well as robbery ( Concluded on page 2. ) KICKING BANKERS Have Their Hearing Today Before the Board of Equalization. The hearing of the banks before the board of equalization yesterday created consider-able interest, as was evidenced by the num-ber of people present to hear the proceed-ings. The case of the Zion's Savings Bank and Trust company was the first of these cases taken up, and it was disposed of in short order.' The point which the institution raised was that the last lcirislature passed an act exempting from taxation moneys lent out on mortgages. This was held by the court to be the case, and the abatement was made, the amount of tax being reduced from 3(0 to 1152. The hearing of the other cases was con-tinued, until 10 o'clock this morning, and the crowd of spectators was even larger than yesterday. The bankers were represented by J. O. Sutherland and Kawlins iz Critehlow, while Walter Murphy had charge of the case for the county. The points claimed are the same as made by .Zion's Savings., liaak. and. 'Trust compauy, iiihu uioneyioaner.'ai- mee t gage is exempt from taxation. There is, however, a congressional law which prohib- its national banks from loaning money on real estate security, while there is no legal prohibition of that kind azainat savings banks. The plaintiff's counsel claim that there is as much capital exempted by that law as isinvested in all the national banks in the territory, and maintain that such con-ditions are unjust and injurious to them. The -- case was argued at considerable length on both sides, but this afternoon the board decided to deny the bankers' claim. An order was also made to reconsider the case of the Ziou's Savings Bank and Trust Company, which was decided yesterday in favor of the corporation. What action the bankers will take in the matter now is not definitely known, but it is expected that they will carry the matter to the courts aud tight it out there. MONDAY'S ELECTION. L i Expressions from Selectmen Why the Bonds Should Be Voted. Next Mondaj- - the citizens of Salt Lake county will vote whether or not the county court 6hall isue bonds to the amount of $300,000. Members of the court, as well as many citizens, are anxious for the success of the proposition. Some have even gone so far as to attach a political significance to the result. : Selectman Hardy said this afternoon: "I hope the bond will carry, because it is an absolute necessity. We require $200,000 for the completion of the joint city and county building. It was thought best to bond the county rather than wait until next year and increase the burden of taxation. I half be-lieve that the bonds will be voted, and yet there is a sort of undettnable dread of some-thing unexpected. I wish to say, however, that the result will have more than usual weight with rne., If these bonds carry, I shall regard it S$ an evidence that an honest division on part;!? lines has come, and that the people here, have turned their backs on old conditions and are; how ready ., and will-ing to aid lt iUbjllF t3ri . great state in Viahl-.t""- .M."-- ; '.T?'; Selectman Butter , said that the county court in asking for the issue of bonds were endeavoring to avoid an increase in taxes next year. The $250,000 for the joint city and county building must be paid. If not by bonds, then by direct tax. There has been a decrease in the rate of about 20 per cent, and the city and county property own-ers arc grateful for the decline. But if they refuse to vote these bonds they will merely say to the county court, "in so doing we give you notice that we are willing to tax ourselves 40 per cent more next year." Mr. Butter thought that tho people outside of Salt Lake ld vote for the bonds. Councilman Wantland is emphatically in favor of the bonds and says he believes that if the citizens look at the matter as they should, they will vote thetn. The county-need-s improvements and this is the proper way of obtaining them. TOLD IN BRIEF. News ot the Moraine Boiled Down for Evening; Keaders. The mind of Harry Kernell, the actor, has collapsed.

"What is most needed to better it?" "How can the remedv most easilv he ob- - tained?" Secretary Sears was first seen. He said that he considered the business outlook all right. Business, he said, is good or bad comparatively, like everything else, and here with us it is all that could be expected at present. We are growing all the time, he said, and only need patience. When three men start stores where there is room for only one, their only show is to have pa-tience and wait until their business grows. The thing most needed, however, is cheape r transportation' for our raw materia!, which would result in an immense increase in trade and population. The way to obtain this is by united effort' on the part of our shippers and business men. But there is no room to kick at present. Fred Trimmer was next seen. There is nothing the matter with business at present, said Mr. Trimmer. It is as good as could be expected The thing, in my opinion, that would do us the most good would be the cession 'of arid lands by the irovernment to the states and territories. This would oc-casion au immense d velopment of agricultural land in the country tributary to Salt Lake, aud make homes for tens of thousands of new settlers, with all the coincident trade and business that would thereby be created. It would mean the expenditure of millions of dollars in tho construction of cana's and roadways, wmch would of itself add largely to the financial stability of the country. If I can spend $3 and reclaim an acre of land worth $10 I consider it a profitable invest-ment. There is no reason why $3,000,000 cannot be profitably expended in ibis way within twenty-fiv- e miles of Salt Lake. Mr. Sam Auerbach said that his faith in the future of the territory was firm, as is evidenced by his works. He. thought cheaper railroad rates was one of the great needs of the country, and mutual effort on the part of the business men another. Mr. Hanauer did not think the outlook very encouraging from his point of View, owing to the low price of silver and lead. From all appearances, unless something was done very soon, silver would be selling by the- - pound like other commodities. The remedy for this, he thought, lay in the action of the monetary conference, which would shortly be held. If silver were made money and given a fixed price in the world the country would be booming. Mr. Johnson of Remington & Johnson, said that the outlook was not all that could be desired in view of the low price of silver and lead at present. What w as needed to make things better was silver legislation, and more railroads, especially a road to the Deep creek country, and he believed we would get there. George M. Scott saw nothing discouraging in the outlook. Silver is low, he said, "but other branches of business are very good. We need more railroads to open np a great ex-tent of country tributary to Salt Lake, cheaper transportation, the ras wells rushed and more united effort. He thought this was all being pushed, however, as fast as posslb'e, and had no fault to find with the situation at present. Fatal Kick of a 3Inl Logan, Aug. 13. Special. Peter P. Hyland, a young man working for Mr. Mitchell on the Murphy ranch, near Men-do-was kicked by a mule on Thursday and almost instantly kiiled. When Hyland was found the mule was still kicking at him, but could not reach him. The most pe-culiar feature was that no marks were visi-ble on the victim, and it was a hard matter for the jury summoned to hold au inquest, to determine whether the young man had been killed by the mule or died from some other cause. Dr. L. W. Snow, who made a post-morte- examination, found that Hyland's heart was diseased. He said it was probable that a comparatively light blow would be sufficient to cause death. The jury assumed this to be the case, and officially determined that Hyland's death was caused by a kick from a mule. The young man had no relatives in this part of the country. MORE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR.

Charles Squires, general western agent for the Barber Asphalt company, who has been in Salt Lake several days, has left for home. Before going away he stated that he did not propose to bid on any Salt Lake work; that the provisions requiriug the use of Utah stone were such that no company could do the work and clear themselves, let a'one make money. Besides this the eight-hou- r per day ordinance would hamper any firm and be a serious obstruction in the way of progress. He further asserted that he had visited this city twice with a view of bidding on work and each time had been put off ou the plea that the specifications were wrong and that new advertising would have to be done. He asserts that Salt Lake need not expect any proposition from the Barber company. Attractive Musical Feature "The Ruined Chapel," a quartette written for male voics by C.
