SLASHER NEGRO 1'' HAS HEARING r Waives Preliminary and Is Bound Over To District Court Will Be Tried On Two Charges. The preliminary hearing of Dove Smith, the big negro who ' made a savage assault on eighteen year old Edna May at Eureka last Saturday night shortly after nine o'clock was held before Justice John S Cooper in this city Wednesday afternoon. As Smith had no counsel Judge P. N. Cooper appointed Attorney Anderson to look after his interests. The state was represented by County Attoi ney Will L. Hoyt, who drew the complaints against Smith, charging him on two counts, that of an assault with attempt to commit rape, and the other charge of assault with a deadly weapon. On motion- of counsel for the defendant the case was continued until Thursday morning. On appearing in court yesterday morning Smith waived his preliminary hearing and was bound over to await the action of the district court. Judge T. If. Burton was out of town yesterday, but on his arrival the case will be heard at once. The victim of the outrage Edna Way, is employed at the Vienna bakery, Eureka.' She left the bakery 9 o'clock Saturday night to go home. When she reached the water V L V - ' ' f ' " I '. Three members of the Ku Klux Klan drifted into this city Saturday evening and held a meeting at the Arlington Hall. Two members of the party were dressed in the regulat ion sheet and pillow slip adornment and attracted much attention during their stay here. The meeting was attended by about fifty people, but we were unable to learn whether any one joined the organization. It is said that it is their purpose to come down again and hold another meeting here as they desire to perfect an organization in this city. According to the speaker at the Saturday night meeting, they claim to be working for a 100 per cent Americanism. They are opposed to the present immigration laws and especially to foreigners who live here and never make any attempt to be- - Capt. Uould Amundsen, Norwegian Arctic and Antarctic explorer.

G. company, most in the center of the residental district, a few blocks east of her place of employment, and on main street, she was grabbed by the negro and dragged into the shadow of tbe tank. She screamed, but he clapped his hand over her mouth and threatened to kill her if, she struggled or made a noise. He threw her to the ground and Miss May's hand encountered a rock with which she struck him in the face. He then drew a razor and falashed the girl. Evidently fearing tuat the girl's screams would attract ran north and 'attention, west from the scene of attack. The girl made her way home less than a hundred yards away a doctor summoned and the officers notified. It was found necessary to take six stitches in the wound inflicted MAYOR BAIIEY TALKS the-negr- on Miss May's body. Miss iMay was later taken to a Salt Lake hospital. and the Tosses were organized neighboring hills searched for trace of the negro. The posse headed by Sueriff Dan Martin and Marshal their Angus McDonald, pursued search all night but failed to find the fleeing negro. Monday afternoon about 2 p. m. the negro was captured in a deserted cabin about four miles south of Top-lif- f, in Tooele County. The capture was made by Sheriff O. A. Evans, and Deputy Sheriff Bert Smith, Tooele Marshal Dave Keyes of county. He was later brought to the county jail in this city by Sheriff Martin, Marshal McDonald, and Deputy Bert Smith. Threats had been made that an attempt would be made to take summary action against the negro, but since he arrived here extra percaut-lon- s have been taken by the local officers to insure his safety, and nothing is now feared along this line as the feeling is said to have quieted down since it is apparent that he will have a speedy trial.

After a thorough investigation we find that our re cords are correct, and would be glad to have any taxpayer verify them. We have paid to Juab County, since the Road Bonds were Issued, up to this date, interest on their balances in the sum of 2I,73.20. In addition to this we have furnished Surety Bonds protecting said funds and have carried, and still carry, as additional protection, $125 000.00 in United States Liberty Bonds. The First National Bank of Nephi wishes to commend the citizens of Juab County and the Officials for the splendid manner in which the records and County funds have been handled during the past several years. The County Officials have handled the County funds In such a manner that they have received Interest on them In accordance with the laws of the State, and have also received the greatest protection possible. County funds cannot be placed up on 4 per cent time deposit, as this demands that such funds cannot be withdrawn for a period of nix months, the same as any Individual time deposit, and the County funds have to be drawn against continually. We wish to assure the people of Juab County that their officials have handled their funds logically and safely and to the best advantage. THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK Nephi, Utah.
