Last night two employees of Harry Haynes, at Murray, when returning from a visit to a ranch a few miles from town were held up by two masked men and robbed of fSO in coin and a gold watch. The clerks made the fastest time on record in returning to their habitation, where they made known their adventure. An attempt was then made to locate the knights of the road but all efforts in that direction were futile. . POLICE COURT HAPPENINGS. Kesler, J., Transacts the Usual Amount of Business This Morning, The usual motley crowd confronted Kesler, J., when he mounted the dais of justice this morning. His countenance denoted that his breakfast had agreed with him, and his cheery "good morning" sent a thrill of hope up and down the spinal columns of the transgressors of the law on the anxious seat. An Alleged Case of Rape. Charles Plane, a young man who resides at Sugar House ward and is agriculturally inclined, is in durance upon the charge of assaulting the chastityof an aged nearress known as Aunt Fanny, who resides on Third South " street, between First and Second West. The alleged offense was committed shortly after last midnight in a wilderness of weeds in the vicinity of the victim's home and, was witnessed by William Powers -- B William Smsthurst, both ..col-ored, who hurried to the . police station and piloted a squad of the finest to the scene, where they found Plane, who was under the influence of liquor, and Ed Nolan, his friend. The lat-ter was arrested also and charged with drunkenness. The authorities place but little 6tock in the case and are engaged this afternoon in holding the preliminary examination. He Assaulted a Boy. E. Logan, charged with assaulting Midar-ro- CrockwelL aged about ten years, en-tered a plea of not guilty. The boy was the first witness, and he declared that the de-fendant, who is a melon peddler, had pinched his arm until it was black and blue last evening on Commercial street. He, as is usually the case, "wasn't doin' nulHn'." The other witnesses for the prosecution cor-roborated the boy's story. The melon ped-dler and his assistants testified that the boy was in the way, and when ordered to move on responded with a "Go to hades" in a rude, emphatic manner. The boj-- was then grasped by the arm and pushed into the street. The act cost him $5. t The Celestial Was Victorious. It cost W. J. Gallagher $10 for fighting with Gee Tong, a Celestial servitor in the employ of Councilman Karrick. When ar-rested Gallacher had his fighting harness on, aud he loudly exclaimed that Tong had wil-fully collided with him, and when remon-strated with had drawn a revolver and threatened to send him to kingdom come by the leaden route. The heathen also made, he said, life a burden to him by throwing stones at him. When the case was called Gallagher failed to appear, but Tong was ready for business. The "Mills Meetings." At a joint meeting of the committees hav-ing in charge the arrangements for th "Mills Meetings," which began here Sep-tember 4, union preparatory services have been planned for all ol next week in the different churches. Wednesday eve'ning of this week at 8 o'clock, there will be a union prayer meeting in the First Congregational church. Pastors are asked to have their congregations join in this service. Tue large tent, 100x150 feet, which is to be used for the "Mills Meetings," and which seats 3000 people, is now on the way from Oakland, Cal., and will be pitched in the center of town immediately on its arrival. Youthful Offenders. Sheriff Burt returned this morning from Evanston, having in charge Masters Julian and Dauiels, who are wanted here for bur-glary. The latter's father, Tom Daniels, special watchman at the Rio Grande depot, is the complainant, and he avers that the boys broke into his trunk last Friday and abstracted therefrom two revolvers, $60 in coin and a certificate of deposit for $50, and then absconded eastward. The boys have not yet reached their tenth year, but are looked upon as promising cracksmen of the &iture. Gee, the Horse-Thie- f. E. L. Gee, the alleged horse-thie- f, will have his preliminary examination on a charge of grand larceny before Commis-sioner Pratt tomorrow morning. As Gee is an old-tim- e offender his future is not of a very roseate Ifne. A Hecaleitrant Barber. William E. Evans, an employee of the Knutsford barber shop, will be examined In Commissioner Pratt's court tomorrow morn-ing on a charge of having violated the clos-ins- c ordinance last Sunday. Frank McDon-ald of the Templeton barber shop is the complaining witness. He Still Haa His --Yob." John Erickson acknowledged that he had been bested by John Barleycorn, but pleaded for mercy, as he was afraid that "he would lose his yob' at Saltair salt fields." He was 6uccessfuL A Trespasser Acquitted. G. D. Klneaid, charged with trespass in having invaded an empty house on Third West, between Second and Third South, last night, gave an eloquent talk to the court and made an impression.. Ha admitted that and the team balked. Wagstaff released his hold of the handles and stooped to clear away the obstruction. He had accomplished his task and shouted to the horses to "go." The animals started up and the plow was jerked several feet when it caught under an-other clod and the horses were jerked back on their haunches. f Wagstaff stooped again to extricate the plow, when one of the animals made a vicious kick at him. The iron heel of the horse struck the unfortunate man over the heart and he fell over backwards dead. Two ribs were broken. - Young Wagstaff dropped the lines and lifted his father from the ground, but the parent was beyond human assistance. The horses ran away. 1 Wagstaff was one of the old-tim- e residents of this county. He came here in the filties and was looked upon as a good citizen. He was the father of seven children. The funeral services will be held at 10 o'clock to-morrow morning from the ward meeting house in Farmers' ward. KICKED TO DEATH- - William Wagstafl Killed by a Fractious Horse in Big-- Cottonwood. William Wnffstaff was killed late yester-day afternoon by a kick from a horse. Wag-staff was a farmer and lived, together with his family, ten miles south of the city in Big Cottonwood ward. Yesterday afternoon he was plowing in his orchard. Arthur Wairstaff, his son, was drivine the horses and the father was holding the baddies of the plow. The beam caught by a clod ' " . ' ' plauded and responded with an encore Royal Millison then recited the "Deacon's Sunday School Session" with great taste and ability, and he was loudly applauded. Lillie Quinlan followed him iu "A Vivid Illustra-tion," and did so well that it was seen that the judges had no easy task to decide who was best. Laura Iliff was the seventh and last. She had selected a fine "Two piece, Fires," and rendered it in a grand and telling style, so that the judges gave their decision in her favor, according her 133 marks. Royal Millison and Lillie Quinlan had each 133, so the contest w as very close. During the time the judges were consulting, Mr. and Mrs. Whitney sang a duo, re-ceiving" a loud call for an en-core; as also did Mrs. Shepherd, who sans: a beautiful temperance melody. The medal was presented to the winner by Mr. Bowdle in a neat speech, after which Ole Bjerkhole was called on for a violin solo, which he rendered in a truly artistic manner and had to respond to an encore. The glee club then gave another selection, after which the audience unanimously and by a standing vote tendered its thanks to the mu-sicians and reciters who had so charmingly entertained them, and a truly enjoyable evening was brought to a close. Prohibition Silver Medal Contest. The new Congregational church was well filled last night with a very select audience, the occasion being a recitation contest for the Demorest silver medal. The ladies of the W. C. T. U. had provided a very fine concert in addition to the recita-tions. Mrs. Griffith presided and everything went beautifully. The Union Glee club opened the meeting with a selection. This was followed by the usual opening exercises, after which the contest was opened by Annie Huukir, who recited "Two Pictures from Life" very charmingly. She was followed by Dean Bright, who gave "The Irrepressi-ble Conflict" with great ability. Rebecca Millison then recited "You Can Stop if You Will" in a manner that fairly carried the audience wiih her. "The Cry of Today," by May Hooper, given beautifully, ended the first part of the pro-gramme. The glee club then sang one of ils selections, and was very heartily p- - AN IMPORTANT SUIT GEO WING OUT OF A WOOL ASSO-CIATION'S OPERATIONS. , Xw Actions Commenced in the Third IMstrict Court The Building: on "Wins Its Suit The Hear- - ins: in the Hallway Cases Grand and Petit Jurors Being Served General Court Gleanings. The trial of an important and interesting case was commenced before Walder Van Cott, ae referee, this morning. It seems that in 18S3 V. M. C. Silva, W. L. Pickard, Henry Cohn and F. H. Auerbach made a combination for the purpose of handling wool, and called the organization the Wool Growers' association. It was agreed, so Mr. Silva claims, that the associa-tion should purchase 1,000,000 pounds of wool a year, but not to exceed that amount. The business was carried on until 1SS8, and Mr. Silva alleges that during that time the other members of the association violated the agreement by purchasing wool in excess of the amount fixedt and realizing a large profit thereon. He brings this suit against his former associates to recover the amount of profits due him on the extra wool purchased, his claim being for $30,000. The trial will extend into next week. Court Notes. Dr. Pinkerton has brought suit against G. F. Culmcr to recover $500 for medical ser-vices. Martin Sheeran, a native of Ireland and a resident of this city, was admitted to citi- - zenship this morning. Clerk McMillan expects to have the calen- - dar for the September term completed in about a week. He says the number of Doth trial and law and motion cases will be as large as usual. In the case of Martha Williams vs. the Salt Lake Building fc Loan association, in which the plaintiff sued to recover $197, Commissioner Norrell today gave judgment for the defendant. Deputy Marshals Cannon and Dyer are hard at work serving srrand and petit jurors for the September term of court. The for-mer will meet on September 12 and the lat-- ter on September 15. Marshal Parsons has received a dispatch from Washington notifying him that the In-terstate Commerce commission has ap-pointed the bearing of the case of the cham-ber of commerce against the railroads for September 5, and instructing him to pro-vide suitable rooms for the trial. REPUBLICAN HOPES. CHAIRMAN PAINTER OF WEBER COUNTY RECITES THEM. lemocratie Victory Would 31 can dis-aster, Distrust and Bankruptcy, While Republican Success iu Utah Would Electrify the Xation Young Jfeu Catching: the Right Spirit Candidates for Delegate to Congress Republican Meeting To-night Political Palaver. i. 8. Painter, chairman of the Republican Central committee of Weber county, was in the city today and, beiug seen at the Knuts-fcr- d by a representative of The Times, said: 1 am glad to see The Times squarely and Aggressively in the Republican column. The rty has needed such a paper in this terri-tory from its very inception and has been tadly handicapped for want of it. The peo-ple all over the Union naturally look to their State capitals for political pabulum, and the predilection is as strong in Utah as else. Where. The Times should push its circula-do- n into every county in the territory and Blake the paper and distinct-ively the party organ. There is no difficulty la getting Republicans to subscribe for a paper if It has the right ring to it A Re-publican paper in Utah should be decidedly outspoken at the present time and handle tke issues which divide the parties without gloves. It should stand perpendicularly on tke national platform and the record of the party, and say what it means in plain, un-mistakable language, without apology or circumlocution. What the party has achieved Id the past is the best argument that can be ffered for its continued supremacy. The lCgic of its history is irresistible and appeals Id the patriotism of our young men, who are beginning to study public questions as Bver before." "What do you think of the political situa-tion in Utah?" "It is a little nebulous at present, but the place of doubt, and even Liberals would concede that a great change had come. THE KIWS WOULD STARTLE THE PEOPLE of the East like a flash of lightning from a clear sky. They have believed for years that this territory was naturally Democratic, and the organization of a Republican party with anything like numerical respectability was beyond the possibility of accomplish- ment during the life-tim- e of the present in-habitants. A Republican victory would convince them of the changed conditions and there would follow such an influx of immigration and capital as has never been dreamed of by the most ardent admirer of Utah's magnificent resources and greatness. Every available foot of land in this territory would be utilized, our mines would ba de-veloped, our towns and cities grow, and a fresh impetus would be given to all depart- ments of industry. I had a letter from Senator Preston B. Plumb a short time be-fore his death, and among other things re-garding this territory he said: "If you are right in your prognostications and Utah can be made Republican a grand future awaits it. It is the best advertised country on earth not excepting Kansas, and whenever the people of the crowded East and the im-poverished districts of the South are assured that church rule is no longer a menace to the enjoyment of individual liberty in Utah the light of a better day will dawn upon your mountains and valleys. Iowa has pop-ulated the Dakotas, the surplus of Kansas immigrants have settled the plains of Col-orado, and still the star of empire westward takes its way. Irrigation is attracting un-usual attention, and irrigated lands and such areas as are susceptible of artificial water-ing offer inducements to farmers in the plains region beyond what is known as the rain belt that cannot long bo ignored. A Republican victory at the polls this fall means new blood and a large increase of capital variously invested in farms, ranches, flocks, herds, mines, smelters, manufactur-ing plants, irrigating canals, railroads, and, in fact, in every channel and ram-ification of commerce and industry." "How will Weber county go this fall?" t "Republican. We expect to elect Repub- licans to every office in the county and mu-nicipal government. The people of Ocden are too intelligent to vote the Democratic ticket to any considerable extent Ogden is makTng rapid strides this year in the way of public improvements. One hundred thou-sand dollars has been expended in public buildings and street work, and as much more is being utilized in the erection of new sefaool buildings, a few Republicans in the city council and on the school board has leavened the whole lump." clearing up graduall'. I am of the opinion tfcat things will right themselves before long. The worst feature we have to contend with is a wide-sprea- d want of confidence an absence of faith in each other. The Liberals have less than the Democrats, and that is putting it pretty strongly. To hear the average Liberal talk one would think we were a territory of rascals industriously scheming and plotting to ruin and destroy each other. While there is no reason or foundation for such disparaging views, suspicion begets suspicion, and the most orthodox of us fall into a habit of doubting and find ourselves questioning and impugn-ing the motives of our fellows before we know it. It is au abnormal and dyspeptic condition of the mind and we should strive . to get rid of it. The people of Utah will compare favorably with those of other sec-tions of .the Union as to integrity and honesty of purpose. Ism decidedly optim- - ' Istic in my convictions and hare tio fears for the future' I invariably, look on the bright Side and let somebody else do the croaking. ' I believe the way to insure honesty and fidelity with each other is to EXCHANGE co.ntide.vce and exercise faith one toward another. To doubt is to invite treachery. The Liberal party is slowiy but surely disintegrating. A good many of it3 ablest leaders hove abandoned it since the national conventions of the two great parties, and many others of prominence and influence within its ranks are quietly delib-erating as to what they shall do. With the exception of two or three counties, the or-ganization is already practically defunct. It will probably require another campaign to kill it in Ogden and this city, as the possi-bility of securing a share of the loaves and fishes furnishes a strong inducement for its continuance, but the time is not far distant when "Liberalism" will be simply a remi-niscence. The Republican party is grow-ing, and grow ing rapidly. I conscientiously believe it can poll double the vote it did last year. I expect the educational campaign that will be conducted by the Republicans during the next sixty days to be productive of most astonishing results. The people of Utah are awakening to the fact that a Dem-ocratic victory in the nation means dinaster to the industrial interests of the country; that it will effectually ruin sheep husbandry in this intermountaln region, put out the fires in our furnaces, and convert thousands of laborers now profitably employed in our mines and smelters into!tramps and idlers, or drive them into other occupations, for which they have neither capital nor exper-ience to successfully engage. It is true, perhaps, that the old men will remain true to Democratic traditions, but the young men of Utah are catching the spirit of Republi-can progress and are aligning themselvcs with that party which has made this nation the cynosure of all eyes and the most illus-trious, as well as prosperous, government on the face of the earth. Party division, though partial and incomplete as yet, has wrought a wonderful change in this territory. It has stimulated our youth to the investigation of questions never considered before. There is scarcely a news-stan- d or book store in Utah that is not handling from one to a dozen political histories each month, while treatiseson the constitution and "Science of Government" are finding a ready and constantly increasing sale. THIS IS A GOOD OMEN. "It shows that ths people are thinking, and thinking along right lines; that they are preparing for statehood, and that, too, in an intelligent manner, and when it comes I have no doubt that they will be able to dis-charge all the duties devolving upon them as becomes true and loyal citizens." "Who do you think will be the Republican candidate for delegate to congress?" "I have no idea. Of course I have my preference, but I am willing to leave the choice to the combined wisdom of the party in convention assembled. Judge Zane has been frequently mentioned on that occasion while Frank J. Cannon undoubtedly has the strongest pull of any man in the northern part of the territory. We are not lacking for delegate timber under ordinary conditions, but I think this time we should lay aside our inditldual preferences and choose our best vote-gette- The claims of A. R. Hoy wood, L. K. Rogers and Captain Hulaniski of Otr-de- n. and Judge Bennett, Arthur Brown and Sam Kenyon of Salt Lake, have been con-sidered, and in my judgment any of these ' gentlemen would make an able and highly creditable representative. I am in favor, however, of the man who can command the roost votes, provided always that he is an uncwervinsr and well-equipp- Republican." "What effect would a Republican victory have in Utah?" "It would give confidence and stimulate, all classes of business. Faith would take s Police Pointers. Natalen Peterson this morning had a war-rant issued for the mrrest of Chris.

A special fror Buffalo timed 3:50 a. m., says: Siuce A o'clock this morning bullets have been fly. ing all over the freight yards and rumors oi killings are prevalent all alon:r the line and, at every post. It is reported that a regular engagement took place in the Erie yard one mile from town and that four men were killed and two wounded. It is also said that one of the dead is a soldier. It is impossi-ble to verify the rumors. Inquiry at brigade headquarters brought the information that news of the 6hooting had been received, but no details were obtainable. At the police station nothing was known. Attempt to Wreck a Train. Niagaka Falls, Aug. 23. One of ths most treacherous acts committed by tho strikers or their symathizers took place last night. A loaded freight train was pulling out, bound for Buffalo, when a switch just east of Lewiston avenue was thrown. Tho engine and four cars had already passed, so the train broke in two and the rear and greater portion sped towards the bridge of the Michigan Central track. As soon as the gatemau sawthe traincoming he made a hurried effort to open the gato but before he could do so the cars dashed Into it and he was struck and had two rib broken, his hand hurt and was otherwise in-jured. The train was running eighteen miles an hour and when It came "to a stauc; it was all on the bridge. After the collision, the switchman had the lantern kicked out of his hand by a bystander. The collision of the train with the gate might have resulted In its precipitation off th,e hridge approach Stones ana BdUats Jt'Jylnjr XTiickT . BCffalo, N. Y:; Aug. 23, 4 a. m. An at-tack was made on the Twelfth regiment shortly after 2 o'clock by gangs of striker and their friends. They crept up to withia stone's throw of the camp, hiding under the cars and behind trucks, and then threw stones and pieces of iron at the soldiers. The soldiers answered the attack with bul-lets. The 6hooting was kept up for a lona: time and still the stone throwinir continued. There is some shooting going on at this hour. Most of the shots are coming from, the direction of Clinton, the street crossing-o- f the Nickel Plate road. Captain Boylan is, there ia charge of Company K, ol the Twelfth. There are tenants near the rail-road, and the people are all out-i- the streets There is great excitement. One in the Hospital. Buffalo, N. T., August 23. Accord-ing to statements of the soldiers tnere was more or less shooting on the out-posts last night of both the Seventy --first and Twenty-secon- d regiments. It was prompted, by stone throwing on the part of the strik ers. So far as known no one was hurt About 1 o'clock this morning a man giving-hi- s name as William Moran ws taken to tha emergency hospital w ith a bullet wound in his leg. His story is that he was challenged by a soldieron Hamburg street and that arier having some words with the soldier, started to walk off, whereupon the latter fired five shots at him. Moran also had scalp wound which he said was inflicted by the soldier with the butt of his gun. A Labor Conference. Buffalo, Aug. 23. The board of media-tor- s and arbitration has decided to begin an investigation into the cause of the switch-men's strike tomorrow. Summoning wit-nesses has already begun. Grand Master Sargent of the fireman's association said this morning he had no plans for today. He Ia awaiting the arrival of the executive offi-cers of other railway unions, whom Grand. Master Sweeney Las invited hare ia confer-ence. Just after midnight last night the strikers began throwing coupling pins at a squad of soldiers. The soldiers were ordered to fire if the throwing did not stop. It stopped. The rumor that a man was killed,, is not true. Labor Leaders Bound for Buffalo. Chicago, Aug 23. E. E. Clark of Cedar Rapids, Towa, grandmaster of the order of Railway Conductors, arrived in this city this morning. "I am on my way to Buffalo," 6aid he, "in response to the invitation of Grandmaster Sweeney of the Switchmen's union." He said, so far as he knew, his order had no grievancas to right. He thought the demands of the switchmen wer just, but he strongly condemned the recent lawlessness. Clark was joined here by Grandmaster Wilkinson of the order of Rail- - way trainmen of Galesbuurg, and both left-fo- r Buffalo at 3 o'clock. Four Killed and. Two Wounded. . Buffalo, N. Y., August 23. The latest reports from the scene of the shooting is that four men had beenkilled aud ' two wounded in one place ia the Erie yards, a mile ouhslde of the city, and that a number of other men have been wounded by the soldiere' bullets in other yards. The sol-diers in Seneca street say that the men had been killed by the Seventy-firs- t regiment. It is impossible to get by the guards within a rail of the Seventy-first- . Wells Says the Strike is Broken. New York, Auk 23. Yice-Preside-nt , Wells of the New York Central returned this ' morning from Buffalo. Speaking of the strike situation he said, "The strike, in my opinion is broken. It cannot extend east-ward. There is a slight chance of Grand Masier Sweeney ordering a strike in the West, but even that is a slim chance. The men acted rashly and hastily and have lost the fight. The sooner they recognize that the better." r. Hod-Carrie- rs and Masons Strike. Andersox, Ind., Aug. 23. Five hundred hod-carrie- and as maay bricklayers are on, strike and work on 500 houses has ceased. The strike is caused by a difference between carriers and bricklayers as to whether worts , will btin at 6:30 or 5 o'clock. m LELAXD RELEASED. A CRIMINAL WHO HAS AN INTER-ESTING RECORD. An Aged Xegress Criminally As-sanlt- ed by a Rural Kesident A Hold-u- p at Murray Reported Lights and Shadows of Criminal Life at Seen in the Police Court-Picki- ngs from Police Circles and Other Sources. Charles Leland, one of the men who some time ago broke into the Union Pacific ticket office and stole a considerable amount of money, today completed the term of im-prisonment to which he was sentenced for grand larceny, and was released from the penitentiary. Leland has had a rather checkered career. His parents are eminently respectable people in tho East, and Leland received a good education before he started West. He fell in with a lot of criminals in Colorado, and was mixed up in several 6hady transac-tions there, one of them being the murder of a policeman at Denver. After doing the job referred to here, he skipped to Portland, reformed and married an estimable young lady. A few days after the marriage, Deputy Marshal Doyle arrested him and brought him back to Utah. At one time the Colorado authorities were anxious to get him over there for his supposed participa-tion in the murder of the policeman, but a dispatch received from them by Marshal Parsons a few days ago stated ,Jhat they did not want him now. Leland will, therefore, have a chance to return to the respectable life he was leading in Portland when the deputy marshal arrested h in. A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY. A Call on a Servant Girl Ends in Murder and Suicide. Cleveland, O., Aug. 23. A terrible trag-edy occurred at the home of Ex-May- Stephen Buhrer at 9:30 o'clock this morning. Geo. Talcott is dead and Ed Hutchinson lies in the hospital in a precarious condition. Hutchinson, who lived on Birch street, ar-rived at the Buhrer home, with the intention of calling upou Eliza Jackson, a domestic employed there. Trouble was feared and Buhrer locked the girl in the bathroom. Hutchinson began to raise a disturbance and George Talcott, the family coachman, was called to put him out of the house. When the coachman ap- - peared Hutchinson drew a revolver and shot Talcott in the neck and mouth, killing him almost instantly. A physician was called and he was put out of the house by the infurriated man. Hutchinson then threatened to shoot Mrs. Buhier, but he finally turned the revolver on himself and fired several times. Ha was taken to St. Vincent's hospital where he is still alive. SILVER KING MINING COMPANY Incorporates Today In the Sum of $3,000,000.

Coroner Harris has experienced the un-pleasant sensation of warming a serpent in his shirt front. That is, he was imposed upon by one of the members of the late Eckert Opera company who made his home with the kind-hesrte- d and philantropic cor-oner until ordered to find new quarters. The young man who traveled on his voice was of the gay and giddy class and posed as an Apollo in hard luck. He was in hard luck when he left the home of the coroner, because a small-size- d, but extensively forcible toe, assisted in his de-parture. To add to the opera singer's mis-fortune, his wife and child came on from Denver and eollared his bag and left him baggageless. The young man is singing a new and revised version of that old familiar refrain, "Listen to My Tale of Woe," while Coroner Harris Is considering the advisa-bility of challenging the winners of the trio of scraps which are billed to come off before the Olympic club next month, i Yonthful Thieves.
