Everything is in readiness for the opening of the grand encampment of Knights of Pythias. The various committees have about completed their several tasks, and they have done them welL The city is in holiday at-tire, the principal business streets being elaborately decorated. One notable feature is the many arches and incandescent lights, and the trees and arches of gas lights. Owing to tbe railroad rate war it is pretty certain that the number of strangers at-tracted to the city will greatly exceed the highest original estimate, but no doubts are expressed but that every visitor will be able to find a place to sleep as well as plenty to eat. Elaborate preparations for the entertain-ment of the lady visitors hare been made by the P3'thian Sisters. The camp is in readi-ness for its guests, and with its thousands of white tents, each flying it flag, presents a pleasing spectacle. The Missouri and Kan-sas brigades are the first to go into camp, taking possession of their quarters this morning, and from now on divisions of the uniform rank from one part of the country or another will arrive oa every train and at once go into camp. The sessions of the supreme lodge wilL probably last for two weeks. NERVY PHIL FOOTE. t A Well-Know- n Zion Sport Bobs Up Serenely. A CAREER TYPICAL OF THE WEST-ERN COUNTTY. i Once a City Marshal, Now a Fugitive From Justice. HIS SENSATIONAL ESCAPADE IN THIS CITY. His Perilous Journey, with a Com-panion, on a Kaft Through the Famous Cataract Canyon in the Colorado Itlver and Remarkable Escape from Ieath Seeking: Pas-tures Xew in Arizona-A- n Erratic Genius Who Will Xot Prove Un-grateful. Phil Foote is still in the land of the living And can be found by this time in some lively mining camp in Arizona. Uis has been a remarkable career, and that he has not long ago been food for worms can be only ac-counted for on the hypothesis that the devil cipitous sides of cliffs that seemed to lead straight up to the azure canopy of heaven. Becoming interested, time and distance were forgotten until the gathering darkness ap-prised them it was time to return, and then only did their peril dawn upon them. Hem-med in by impassable cliffs, progress forward was impossible, and to even attempt To Retrace Their Steps Meant Death. The slippery rocks were covered with ris-ing waters that dashed at their feet as though anxious to embrace them in their icy grasp and strange birds and fierce ani-mals, alarmed at their presence, rent the air with hideous cries. After hours of inactiv- - ity they decided to trust themselves to the river and meet like brave men whatever fate had in store for them. Pieces of driftwood were collected, after hours of labor, sufficient to construct a raft, and with strips cut from their blankets and clothing the work was accomplished. Although half frozen by the chilly air of the night and weakened by an enforced starvation of forty-eigh- t hours the voyagers lashed themselves to the raft and started out on their forty-mil- e ride down tho famous cataract of the Colorado. From one sunken sentinel to another the fiail structure was hurled by the fierce current and Foote and his companions thought each moment would be their last i la "Hell's Half Mile," the most dangerous point in the canyon, death would have been welcomed by thS) raftsmen. A dozen or more cataracts were passed over in a distance of less than half a mile, and each plunge buried the raft and its occupant under the maddening waters, or whirled them round and round at a frightful velocity. An g Providence was merciful, however, and the remainder of the terrible journey was made in a bliss-ful state of unconsciousness. A few hours later, two bruised, bleeding, but thankful specimens of humanity crawled up the banks of the river at the prosperous mining camp of Good Hope, the spot where Cass Hite expects to obtain riches which will rival the wealth of Monte Crieto, and gave the signal of distress which has never yet failed of an answer wherever civilized man has a habitation. In Hite's cabin food, shelter and kindly treatment were accorded with a lavish hand, and in a few weeks both Foote and Lyle were entirely recovered. One day Foote surprised the camp by an-nouncing his early departure, and despite the liberal inducements held out to him to remain, made the necessary preparations for a long trip, and setting his face toward the ?actus-bedecke- d plains of Arizona, bade his whilom friends adieu, started out on his weary pilgrimage over sterile pla-teaux infested by Mexican wolves and the blood-thirst- y Apache, to that promised land where he will undoubtedly repair his shat-tered fortunes and repay those who were his friends in his hour of need. For, although his faults are many, the charge of ingrati-tude has never yet been made against Phil Foote. always takes care of his own, being sure of his game in the end. Of Phil's history prior to his invading the fertile fields of the great west, but little is known. That his early lines had been cast in pleasant places was evidenced by the cul-ture and erudition he invariably exhibited when at himself, and even when in his cups he never forgot those smaller courtesies to his fellows that distinguish the thorough man of the world from his pinchbeck imitators. He made his first appearance in Colorado in the small town of Kokomo, near Lead-vill- e, and soon became a prominent char-- 1 acter. His nerve being unquestioned and his integrity established he soon became in-stalled in tho important office of marshal; ' and although at times his Official Pathway Wns a Stormy One he was never known to quail even when al-most certain death stared him in the face. His entire disregard for consequences soon caused him to be feared and later on in bis career aided him materially in the success-ful carrying out of escapades which even now are but charily alluded to by his former associates who hang on the fringe of society. Kokomo was finally deserted by Phil and for a number of years he alternately flourished and "scratched gravel" in the gambling re-sorts of Denver, Aspen, Glenwood and other booming Colorado tow ns, and finally put the finishing touches to A Not Very Inglorious Career, in the Centennial state by assuming the cbarncter of a Locbinvar and relieving a friend of tbe burden of caring for an incum-brance in the shape of a wife. For some time after his plunge into the realms of love Phil was in clover; money was plentiful- - and the opportunities tmmer-- for enjoying life to its bent The time ( finally came, however, when the key to the golden chest was lost, and on several occasions he has been known to quietly walk Into a gambling room, present a pistol at the head of the astonished dealer and in a pleasant voice command: "Hands uo!" It is a matter of record that he was never dis-obeyed, for on each occasion he levied tribute on the money drawer and departed s quietly and as gentlemanly as he had en-tered. Prosecution never followed, the ex-tus- e alwas being that Phil was A Rattling Good Fellow When Sober tud "was not accountable for what he did irben drunk." His victims' faith in his in-tegrity, it is said, never failed then, for as loon as his attack of dipsomania passed way a settlement followed. At last life in Colorado palled upon him, nd with his few belongings he came to this tity and soon became prominent among the rilded youth who form what Zion is pleased io term its sporting colony. His word soon became a law with his associates, and those mho at first had the temerity to question his dictum, were soon awed into a tractable frame of mind by a glance from his mild, blue eyes. For a time liquor and be were strangers, but the gambler's spell came o'er him and be branched out as a high-roll- er and heavy drinker. The inevitable result fol-lowed. His money was soon gone and what jewelry he had passed into the hands of "his uncle." The time arrived when he was pen-niless, and the old dare-dev- il spirit which Made Him Notorious in Colorado, awoke from its long sleep. One evening, after he had fortified the inner man with copious libations of dew from the blue-gras- s region, he quietly walked into Tom McDer-mott'- s pleasure resort at 63 Main street, nonchalantly took a gun from his hip-pocke- t, and announced that he "must have money." The astonished dealers and lookouts, as well as the visitors, offered no resistance, and Foote, a though to the manner born, gathered up $350, backed to the entrance, bade them all a pleasant good evening and took his de-parture. The "good fellow" racket was of n " "av'ai.-l- VtArp- anH w. . i.fhi.n Vi 1.1 f wman. linviMi. .ailfCt.l. the robbery the hold-u- p was in the custody of the United States marshal and subse-quently was held to answer to the grand jury in the sum of $1500. In sporting parlance the prosecution had a "dead cinch" on him and a term of im-p- r isonment was inevitable if he stood trial. Having a Natural Antipathy to being clothed and fed by the government Foote placed his integrity, which had been his principal virtue, in the background, and without a word to his bondsmen struck out for pastures new. For months his where-abouts was unknown and had it tot been for Cass Hite, the well-know- n mining man, it is doubtful if the veil of oblivion would have ever been lifted. It appear that Foote recognizing the fact that there were but few places in the West where he was safe from capture, made his way to the Colorado river country, wbere men are few and far between and gold believed to be plentiful. There he made the acquaintance of a young man named Lyle and the pair decided to make a voyage of exploration on the treacherous Colorado. The voyagers, according to Cass Hite, who detailed their experiences to a Denver reporter recently, knew nothing personally of the dangers of the journey. They Trusted to Their Goddess, Luck, and their strong arms to carry them through, and laughed at those who attempted to ad-vise with them. Their voyage was a pleas-ant one nntil the mouth of tbe great canyon was reached, where casting discretion to the winds tbe adventurers left their boat and started on foot to explore tbe mysteries of what may be appropriately termed the gorge of death. Their route carried them over rocks and granite columns whose grandeur no pen can do justice to; along dark passages whose prototypes can nowhere be found except in the imagination of a Dante, and up the pre- - ELISOES APPOINTED. MESSRS. CANNON AND DYER WILL SELECT THE JURORS. The Appointments 3Xade by Judge Anderson The Central Hotel Com-pany Confesses Judgment In Favor of Zion's Savings Bank for S 10,000 Orders Made in the Probate Court Today General Court Xotes. Judge Anderson inaugurated an innova-tion this morning when he appointed Deputy Marshals Boman Cannon and Ab Dyer as Elisors to select the grand and petit jurors for the September term. Hero tof ore, these jurors have been selected by the United States marshal, and the change was made probably at the request of Colonel Nelson of the Tribune, who is charged with criminally libeling Marshal Parsons. There are twenty grand and thirty-si- x petit jurors to be selected. The former will meet on September 12 and the latter on September 19. POLICE COURT. Another Family Row Refused to Pay Their Dog Tax Other Cases. Louisa Brown, a young woman with an accent, was in the police court today, charged with brawling. Mrs. Selix, also the possessor of an accent, was the prosecuting The difference between the two was not on acconnt of accent, however, Mrs. Selix's being French and Miss Brown's German; but it appeared from the testimony that the pair, accompanied by Miss Brown's brother Joe, had engaged in one of tbe most vigor-ous talking matches on record. Each swore that the others bad alleged that her and his opponent had called her or him all the vile, dirty epithets in the vocabulary of slang. A diagram of the testimony would appear in the shape of all the scare points in the office. After allowing the women to wrangle for a time Justice Kesler found Laura and Joe guilty and suspended sentence pending good behavior. Sam Hefty and P. Volke were arrested on complaint of Samuel Galleazzi, charged with keeping unlicensed dogs. Volke was dis-missed on payment of his tax, and Hefty's case was continued until Monday. Joseph Borden pleaded guilty to being drunk, and was sent off rejoicing with an admonition to get to Springville on the next train. IT WILL BE CONTESTED. Julian Riley's Claim for $15,000 Will Be Earnestly Fought. In the case of Julian Riley vs. the Salt Lake Rapid Transit company, in which the plaintiff asks for damages occasioned by the killing of his little son Julian a few weeks ago, the defendant will be represented by the attorneys for the American Employers' Liability Insurance company, tbat corpora-tion having assumed the responsibility. The answer to the suit was filed today. Defendant alleges tbat the little boy was not moving on foot or otherwise with a view to crossing the track and denies that the cars were negligently running at a rapid rate of speed, but sets up that the accident was the result of tne boy' own neglige ncej and that it wrs one iffwbich defendant could' not avoid, as will be shown in the trial. " The answer alleges that the motorman tried to protect the boy, but by reason of the latter' s act was unable to do so. This is the first case the corporation has had since it assumed the Rapid Transit com-pany's responsibility and it will be earnestly contested. A Beavy Judgment. Judgment was entered this morning for the plaintiff by confession for $10,000 in the case of Zion's Savinss Bank vs. the Central Hotel company. The defendant company conducts the Hotel Templeton, anu the mpnev was due on a promissory note given on October 2, 1B91. The sureties were Jos-eo- h D. C. Young, L. G. Hardy, Aionzo Young and George M. Cannon. Court Notes. In the case of the National Bank of the Republic vs. the Metropolitan Investment company, the hearing has been adjourned until September 3. In the case of Lena Barton vs. Sarah R. Conning, Judge Anderson this morning f ranted an order restraining the defendant rom using a certain alley. In the case of L. C. Crossman vs. Fred Titt and Mary A. Titt, Judge Gee has given judgment for tbe plaintiff for $63.65. COT 'E.M ON THE RUN. Marshal Parson Gets After "The Tribune With Another Suit. Marshal Parsons brought another libel suit against the Tribune this afternoon. He asks for damages in the sum of $35,000, and the total of his claims against the Trib is thus brought up to $75,000. The publication complained of is one which on December 4, 1891, headed, "The Marshal's Movements He Spent an Un-quiet Day, Testifying Before the Grand Jury." The article intimated that the mar-shal was in the habit of retaining govern-ment money for speculative purposes, etc. QBy this, the complaint alleges, the defend-ant falsely and maliciously charged him with the crime of embezzlement, and with the crime of wilful omission of official duty, and intended to and did falsely and maliciously charge him with dishonesty in office; that the publica-tion was made for the purpose of impeaching the honesty, integrity and repu-tation of the plrintiff, and of thereby expos-ing him to public hatred, contempt and ridi-cule; that each charge in the writ is false, malicious, defamatory; that by reason of tho publication, the plaintiff has been in-jured in mind and body, and in bis standing in this city and other places where he is known; that bis feelings have been out-raged and his character maligned and in-jured, to his damage in tbe sum of $25,000. Rawlins fc Critchlow and Brown & Hender-son are the marshal's attorneys. A Mountain Out or a Mole H11L The Tribune this morning published an in- - correct report concerning the fees charged in the case of Wolf vs. Roquetta, the idea be-ing, of course, to make a point against the marshal. An effort was made to show that the charge of $50 made by the keeper who has charge of the place from the time it was attached was exorbitant. Attorney McKay, it seems, argued that the 6tock of clears and tobacco should have be'in re-moved at once, which would have done away with the necessity for having a keeper. The fact is that when the keeper took charge he found that the stock was not stamped and under the law he could not remove them in that condition. He notified the parties, however, and as soon as the revenue 6tamps were provided the goods were removed. Reference is also made to the reduction of the fees, without stating the items cut out. This omission, of course, was intentional, because if the facta had been 6tated it would have given the matter a wholly different appearance. The principal item cut out was the charge for these revenue stamps, which the marshal naturally supposed the plaintiff wished him to tax up. Wolf's attorney, however, had taxed the item up in his own bill, which was the only reason why it was cut out from the marshal's. It was not disputed at all at this time. The only reduction which affected the marshal's office at all was in cutting down the keeper's claim from $5 to $2.50 per day. Suit Against Architect Monheim. Daniel Alexander, the Main street mer-chant, today brought suit against Architect Henry Monheim. The plaintiff allege that in September, 1S90, he contracted with the defendant, to-- snperintendthe ,onstruciion of the Alexander block; that be relied pon the skill, capacity and diligence of Monheim to make sure that the building would be erected in accordance with the plans and specifications; that the defendant did not 60 have the structure built, with the result that when it was finished it wa unsafe and inse-cure, and wa condemned by the city, nec-essitating the tearing town and rebuilding of a considerable portion of it. Besides this loss, the plaintiff lost heavily in rent, and he demands judgment in the sum of $6000. Powers & Hiies are the plaintiffs attor-neys. AROUND THE CIRCLE. THE COAL CREEK WAR IS AT AX END.

ALEXANDER R. MITCHELL MEETS DEATH IN A PECULIAR WAY. A Charge of Birdshot Tears a Hole Through His Right Cheek and Finds an Outlet Through His Left Eye-De- ath Was Instantaneous A iiua Which Has Went the Honls of Two Hen to Their Final Beck, onlng. The body of A. F. Mitchell of Draper was brought to this city this morning and is lying at the Skewes' undertaking establish-ment. Mitchell accidently shot himself yes-terday afternoon with a double-barrelle- d shot gun. Death was instantaneous. The particulars are very meager. It seems Mitchel had . been trouble by chicken; hawks stealing his best fow s, and he de-cided to rid the air of some of the thieving birds. Yesterday he was crouching near his house intently watching one of the thieves of the air as it sailed around and around high in the air above his barn yard. The gun which did such deadly work was stand-ing against the house, a few feet from Mitchell, and it i3 presumed that both trig-gers were at fall cock. No one was with the deceased when the terrible summons came. The kitchen door, near where the gun was leaning, wa3 violently- - slammed shut by a gust of wind. The jar caused the gun to fall, and when the muzzle wa opposite Mitchell's head the gun exploded and the chartre of shot entered the right cheek of tl unfortunate man. It tore away the flesh from the left cheek and burnt the orb of the left eye. Mitchell fell for-ward on his face dead. The orifice in the right cheek was terribly burned by the pow-der, and the man's nose was brosen and his jaw-bon- e dislocated. The dead man never spoke after the report of the gun. A. R. Mitchell, or as he was better known as "Sandy," was well known in this city and had a host of friends, who learned of his un-timely end with regret. For two years Sandy was manager of the Union Pacific coal yards of this city. On the 17th of last December, in company with Moses I. Morris, he purchased forty acres of land three miles 6outh and west of Sandy on Dry Creek and established a chicken ranch. Business pros-pered with the two partners and they were in a fair way to a fortune when the fatal ac-cident occurred. Morris, who was inside the house when his partner was killed, hastened outside upon hearing the report of the gun. The sight that met his gaze froze the blood in his veins. Lying on his side was Mitchell. Bleed was streamiag from ghastly wounds in his face and a blue bare of smoke curled from the muzzle of the gun. Morris immediately hastened to his . nearest neither and rapidly related the de-tails of 'tne ead occurrence,' and then' came on to Salt Lake after Alex R. Mitchell of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific railroad. The Inquest. A jury was empaneled this afternoon, and after listening to the circumstances in the case, returned a verdict of accidental death from a gunshot wound caused through the nenjtence or carelessness 01 toe aeceasea. The body doubtless will be shipped to Mil-waukee for interment. A Gun's Second Victim. The man whose body lies cold in death at the undertaking parlors is the second victim of the gun which accidentally caused his death last evening. Two years ago Charlie Hempstead placed this same shot gun against his head and blew out his brains. The rash act was committed at the home of the on Capital hill late in the afternoon. Young Hempstead was a "blood" in the fullest 6ense of the term and lived life at a rapid pace. Hs is said to have known wine, women and song to his sorrow and finally, wrecked in mind and depleted in purse, sought that solace in the quiet of the grave which the sonsrs of the siren cannot bequeath or the companionship of reckless revelers induce. Who will inherit the man killing gun aud will not look upon it with fear? IDAHO REPUBLICANS. A State Ticket Selected Kormoni to Be Restored to Citizenship. Moscow, Ida., Aug. SO. Special.

A Hurricane Rattle of Four Rounds, in Which the Australian Makes a Mon-key of the BritisheT-Ful- l Account of the Fight. London, Aug. 20. The glove contest be-tween Jim Hall, the Australian, and Ted Pritchard, the English champion, came off early this morning at Brighton, and was won by Hall in four rounds. The fight was managed with great secrecy, very few persons knowing when or where it was to come off. It was generally thought it would not take place until Monday. As a result there were present only thirty or forty of the principal supporters of the com-batants. The partisans of both were san-guine. The weather was fine, the sun shin-ins- r brightly as the men appeared. Pritchard was seconded bv Jack Baldock and Sam Blakelock, while Charlie Mitchell and Charlie Rowell acted for Hall. Both men showed up in good condition. From the moment the first blow was struck the battle waged fast and furiously. Hall, who is a much better tactician than his antagonist, showed he was quite as clever with his hands as Pritchard. With his extra long reach he had a decided advan-tage. Pritchard tried hard to break through Hall's guard, but every time he attempted to he was promptly met by the Australian's left. In the second round Pritchard delivered a heavy blow with his right, which, striking Hall squarely, sent him" to grass. Hall lay helpless for some time, but when he rallied he was apparently as fresh as ever, and when the fighting was resumed he boxed as fast as his opponent until the end of the round. The third round was much in favor of Hall who seemed to demoralize Pritchard with his heavy blows in the face. In the fourth round Hall followed up the advantage and landed two severe blows on Pritchard, one on his chin and one on the side of his head, which sent him to the ground. When time wa9 called Pritch-ard was unable to respond and Hall was de-clared the winner. i 1 a SULLirAX AND CORBETT. The Condition of the Great Gladiators Re-viewed The Many Conjectures. New Yokk, Aug. 20. John L. Sullivan has quite recovered from his lameness, caused by the blister on his heel from a new pair of running 6hoes, and a sore toe, caused by his poisoning a mosquito bite by scratching it. He is now down to 203 pounds, and expects to be able to enter the ring at 213 pounds. He is feeling good and confident of winning an easy victory, for ho says he does not intend to waste his strength chas-ing Corbett around the ring, if he attempts to adopt the Charley Mitchell sprinting tac-tics. He is fully prepared for the emergency, and can make a long fight or a short one, just as the case may call for, and he will be governed entirely by the style of fighting Corbett adopts. If he stands right up and fights like a man, Sullivan predicts a short battle, but if he attempts a" shifty business, John L. will be fully prepared to stay there all night if necessary. The train which will convey the Corbett party will leave the Pennsylvania railroad depot at 4:30 p. m.. September 1, via Rich-mond and Danville Piedmont air-lin- e, mak-ing the trip in thirty--nine hour. Corbett Ready for the Fray. Corbett is also in fine condition and In good spirits. He looks well and is as quick as a cat, and looks as though he was able to make the fight of his life. He does not expect an easy thing, as he is fully aware he has got to confront the greatest man that has ever set foot in a ring, but as he has already fought a draw with Peter Jackson, the acknowledged next best man in the pugilistic arena, he does not see why he should have a hesitation in con-fronting Sullivan. The worst he can possibly get is defeat, in which case he would be no worse off than at present. Everybody seems to think that Sullivan is the best man and there is no one like Sullivan. Judging from his own achievements and those of Sullivan's, he feels his chances of victory are just as good as Sullivan's. Corbett claims to weigh 195 pounds at present, but he is so slender and active that he does not look to be nearly so heavy. As to his mode of fighting, he has nothing to say further than that the night of the fight would settle the question as to the style each man would adopt. Jim Hall is Chief. London, Aug. 20.

Every one knows how intelligent and do-mestic are the big black ravens so common in this valley, but Porter Moffett has a 6tory on them tbat breaks the record. A few years atro, he says, he traveled from Pho?nix into California by wagon, and a pair of ravens accompanied him for the entire distance, living principally on the leavings at each camp. Crossing the Colorado desert, Por-ter's kind heart prompted him to keep them supplied with water, the birds soon learning to drink from an oyster can. Tbe ravens left him at Tehachapi, but were observed shedding tears at parting. The above story comes from the Phoenix Gazette. It is no doubt a true story, and the intelligent birds followed Mr. Moffett hoping to be able to feast on him and his outfit before they could get through. That this was their design is evidenced by the fact that they parted com-pany from him when be got through. i ' New York Stocks and Bonds. New York, Aug. 20.
