Show ACCIDENT AT SCOITELD, A Miner Seriously Bruised About the Head Other News No lea of General Interest.' Scofieed, Utah, Ji. 2. Corres pondence Dispatch.--A"seriou3 accident ac-cident occurred here this morning about 8 o'clock in the U. P. mine, whereby D. D. Green was injured. Mr. Green is employed as miner arl went to work as usual. He was engaged' in drilling and was standing on a ladder. The coal in which the drilling machine was fastened gave way and he was th-own from the ladder, falling ten or twelve fest.: His head struck a large piece of coal, and he was stunned. WLen picked up blood was oozing from hia ear, while a large gash was found on the back of the head. He was taken home and Dr. Smith was called to attend him. The full extent of the Injuries is not known at this writing as the doctor was unable to make a thorough examination exam-ination until the injured man had rested. Mr. Green is a widower and lives with his young children. The year 1894 closed very unhappily for several residents of Scolield. Several estray cattle have been seen in this valley this fall, but lately two head disappeared dis-appeared rather suddenly. Constable Jensen received a hint ty.t the . cattle could not be found. HTyent to work on the case and uneaitb .'U the mystery of the missing -cattle. As a retult of his sleuth work four men named John X. Lloyd, llichard Smith, Raese Lloyd, ani J. W. W. Lloyd, were arrested charged with killing and butchering two head of estray stock. Constable Jensen arcl SLftrff Lloyd se cared a search warrant and visited the houses of the above named men and secured beef in each place, and the hides of the slaughtered animals were found at J. W. W. Lloyd's place. They were taken beiore Justice Wilson for preliminary heariug.which resulted in their being bound over to await the action of the grand jury in the sum of $300 each, Bondsmen were readily secured se-cured and the men liberated. At the examination Reese Lloyd admitted that he had helped to slaughter the animals, an-imals, but said that several dogs had attacked the animals and bad cut their throats, so that they would have died, and he thought he had as much right to the carcases as the cayotes. John II. Lloyd denies all knowledge of the slaughter, and claims that the meat found at his place was the remains of his own steer which he slaughtered a short time since. Mr. Lloyd owns several head of stock and his defense is very plausible. The oner of the slaughtered estrays is not known. Several parties have been given during dur-ing the holidays, and the children of the Primary and Sunday schools have not been forgotten. There is an abundance of snow here, and the thermometer registers 20 to 30 degrees below zero yery often. Mrs Rachel Richards of Provo is visiting with her two daughters, Mrs. Andrew and Mrs. John Hood. Miss Bowring of Salt Lake is visiting with her sister Mrs. A. M. Campbell Work at the mines is still very quiet. There beems to be no demand for coai this eeason. This is owing, no doubt, to the scarcity of money, and men who have formerly bought coal have had more time than money and conee quently went to the canyon and laid in a stock of wood for the winter.
