ment Bank Examiner.
PITTSBURG. March 27. A third
f charge against Ilenrj' Rcibcr, paying
j. teller, and John Young, auditor, of thc
Partners7 Deposit National bank, was
made today by Bank Examiner W. L.
Folds. Thc former cmploj'ees, who nre
- in jail, aro charged with misappli'ing
funds of tho bank amounting to $1,105,
. 000. According to a persistent rumor.
informations against many business men
in this city and other cities are to be
, made within a short time. I
Tho previous amounts named wero !
. $S5.000 and $300,000. Rciber and Young j
. aro held in .$25,000 bail. Tho examina- !
tion and audit of thc books of tho bank
has bcen practically completed and it is
believed thnt tho informations todav I
- will cover thc entire shortage within the
statutes.
Long Period of Frand.
Containing two counts, embezzlement
, and misapplication and false entries in
the teller e statement book, tbe informa
, tion charges fraud extended over a pe
riod of three years prior to March 30,
.1008. Funds of tho bank, it is alleged,
were diverted as late as March of t.hi
3'car.
In cases of embezzlement the statute
of limitations apply after three 3oars,
and for this reason' information cannot
go back further than to March 10,
1005. '
.Rciber and Young for a number of
years have bad the entire control of tbc
Farmers1 Deposit National bank.
Made False Roports.
Tho accusnd teller and auditor -were
accustomed to make reports of tho
amouut of cash on hand to thc book
keeper and their report for voars has
always been wrong to tbc oxlont of thc
shortage. For the lust few months this
lias been ovor '1,000,000.
The men. have made a confession to
tbe government authorities and an ex
amination by Examiner Folds shows tho
amount, they say thov appropriated cor
responds almost-exactly -with the -short-ago

Tho government authorities aro stag

stated in no ease bus so much been taken
from a bauk in thc samo manner.

Special to The Tribune.
ST. GEORGE, March 27. Victor Hunt
ziclcur camo in from Uiiir'Yallty' Monday
night, March -'3. He had been out thcro
several days and Is very enthusiastic
about that section, which he believes will
be a very rich trold-produclng region in
a very short time.
The richest property thcro appears to
be that owned by John Pulsipher and
William Famsworlh, both of St. George.
They located the ground about February
S and have a well-dollncd ledge which
carries high values in gold. The hanging
wall Is of slate, and all indications point
to continuity of ledge, which outcrops "in
a white porphyry sheet. A piece of gold
was taken out of this mine by the own
ers which Is a quarter of an Inch thick
and two by three inches in size. Some
of thc specimens show fabuloviB values.
A panful of the loose rock and dirt from
tho floor of thc drift when panned, un
crushed, frequently shows as much as a
teaspoonful of coarse gold. Tho ledge
shows free gold, visible to the naked eye.
This property is on thc east fork of
the Beaver dam wash, near the mouth
of Arsenic gulch. It 13 about thirtv-Uve
milos northwest of St. George, and a
wagon roud has now been made right to
thc mining camp. Tho formation of thc
country is porphyry und volcanic dykes
Much proapecting is being done up
Arsenic gulch and all around the now find.
Many people arc going in there, and ar
rangements are being made to start a
store there and extend the telephone line
to connect with the Utah and .Eastern
Copper company's line.
John Pulsipher left for the mine again
Mondaj morning, taking dynamite and
other explosives with him to continue de
velopment work. Much prospecting is
now being done, and those best acquaint
ed with the country believe It will prove
to be exceedingly rich.

Special to The Tribune.

the decision of the Idaho supremo
" Pnourl' .i"st handed down in the ease- of
Toncray vs. Budge, contesting the Iat
' ei? !cc,t.im to the judgeshii) of the
' fifth district, thc district court has no
't jurisdiction in such matters, and the
original jurisdictiou in judicial election
contests rests with the supreme court.
' On this point thc Idaho code of civil
' procedure says:
' "The supremo court shall hear aud
' determine contests of thc election of
nudges of tho supreme court, judges of
the district courts, and district at
torney, and in case they shall disagree,
thc governor shall act with it in de
termining the contest.'"
In its decision thc supreme court
concurred with Judge Stevens in bis
decision sustaining the demurrer of
Defendant Budge on the grouud that
tho district court did not have juris
diction in thc matter. Ou tbe solicita
tion of tho uttornej-3 on both sides, thc
court ruled upon tbe test oath pro
vision of the constitution, holding that
it was self-operative, vindicating thc
Democrats of this state in the position
they toolc on this matter in thc last

in debt for board and lodging, on ac-
count of inability lo obtain employ-
jl ment, Charles F. Hall, a carpenter, 36
years old, after futiloly appealing to
j- bis family in Denver for aid, attempted
self-destruction with a razor on East
Third South street Friday morning,
f While Detectives Ed Janucy and
Frank A. Wheeling were closely pur-
t. suing him with a warrant for iiis ar-
L rest on a charge of petit larceny from
i- Mrs. Iary ii. LeProbon. tlu unattain-

L at 221 East Fourth South street, Hall
. dashed into a coal shed in thc rear of
201 East Third South street at 0
1 o'clock Thursday morning and slashed
r bis throat from car to car with a razor.
. Last Desperate Effort.
As the officers closed in upon him
he made one last desperate offort to
escape them. With blood squirting in
great streams from thc ghastly self
hiflicted wound in his throat, 'Hall
dashed from the shed and .jumped over
a high fence and started to continue
his night, but sank to the ground be
fore be 'Jiad gone far, his strength ex
hausted from thc loss of blood and
his struggles io got awav.
Wfth his windpipe half severed and
the .jugular vein almost laid bare, and
blood gushing from thc slit in his
throat six inches long, Hull was brought
to thc Emergency hospital iu thc patrol
wagon. There Dr. S. Li. Paul, polico
surgeon, mado a hasty examination of
tho wound and hurried tho man to St.
Murk's hospital. Here he was placed
upon the operating tabic and the
wound closed, thirty or forty stitches
bping required. His recovery is doubt
. fill. -
-AlnU had been in low spirits for throe
months, according to Mrs. LoProhon,
with whom bo bad boarded and lodged
for six months, and had frcquentlv
threatoncd to. commit suicide, but Jns
tlu-oats were not taken seriously. On
Dccembor 7 be lost his job and was
idle from that time until his attempted
self-destruction. Three months ago ho
failed in his payments for lodging and
boarding, but Mrs. LeProbon extended
him credit and showed him other kiud
nosses. Apparently he became infatu
ated with the pretty lodging-houso
keeper and urged her to mnrrv him,
but she gave him au equivocal an-
Articles Missing.
Mrs. LeProbon says that two months
ago she began to miss little articles
from her rooms nnd finally tho "thefts
extended to tho rooms of other lodgers
and boarders. Shu reported tbc to tho
police and finally ucensed Hall. He at
first protested bis innocence and it was
not until thc disappearance of a gluss
whisky set, a clocK, a Bible, and a
razor, valued at $1, a few days ago,
that Mrs. LeProbon considered the evi
dence against Hall sufficient lo insti
tute criminal proceedings against him,
Thursday sho called upon Assistant Citv
Attorney Edgar A. Ttogers and swore
to a complaint charging him with petit
larceny
A warrant for bis arrest -was placed in
tho hands of .Detectives Jannoy aud
Wheeling to serve, but Hall was not
at Mrs. LeProbon 's bouse Wednesday
night and did not return Thursday
night. Where he stayed is not known.
Friday morning ho appeared, however,
but had been drinking hoavilv, Mrs.
LeProhon thinks,, and was in decidedly
low spirits. While he was bemoaning
Ins plight to her in thc back vard, tbc
detectives were notified of his' presence
at tho LeProbon home and immediatclv
sot out to arrest him.
Still standing in the back vard, inlk
ing to Mrs. LoProhon, Hall saw the
detectives approaching and broke and
ran. Tho otfieors pursued and Detective
Janucy overtook nnd grabbed him, but
Hall is a powerful man and shook looso
and started to run again, jumpin" a
fence that was in the path of his flight.
Jannoy attempted to follow, but fell
nnd severely sprained his kneo. Dctcc
tivo Wheehug, howevr-r, was close upon
Hall and in thc pursuit across lots tired
twice to frighten (he fugitive into slop
ping, but Hall kont on runninc
Reached in His Pocket.
By this time Jannt-y was up aud had
joined in tho pursuit again. As Third
South was nearcd Hall looked over his
shoulder and, seeing his pursuers were
gaining upon him, turned suddenly and
ran through a yard gate und faced Ips
nursucrs, simultaneously reaching his
band into u side coat noeket as if for
a revolver. Thinking he was going to
draw u weapon both detectives pulled
their revolvers, but did not (ire In
stead of drawing a revolver, Hull took
out a razor case and drew forth 11 razor
Llutching it in his right band he bacokd'
into the coal shod, sat down upon the
coal and drew the blade across his
throat, 1 heu, .throwing tho razor aside
he jumped up as tho officer; neared him'
ran from the shed, .jumped a fence and
started to doc again, but fell to thc
ground utterly exhausted from exertion
nnd loss oi blood.
At the emergency hospital Hall called
lor Mrs. LeProbon and sho was sent for.
Io hor ho admitted his wrong und ex

BY THE APOSTATE. A
Thc recalcitrant Democrats of .Idaho f'
make the assertion that former Senator I'M
Fred T. Dubois is not sincere in his v SI
effort to take political power away from S
tho Mormon hierarchs. Tn the public cj
prints and' in their utterances they say '
there is 119 Mormon question iu tbe
State; that thc Mormons arc not active
iu temporal affairs, and that there has f
been no case of polygamous marriage a
in thc State since the manifesto of 1S00.
Dubois, it is charged, has created a "t
fight against these fancied violations of
the moral and real laws simply for tho
purpose of returning himself to the
United States Senate. By playing upon. .;
thu emotions of those who are unfamil- '
iar with conditions, tho Senator, aver
the resalcitrauts, has summoned to his
support 11 large following with which ' '
be hopes to combat the vast forces y
which arc opposed to him and his poli- ji
cics. x.
If Mr. Dubois had only ,t he idea of
returning to the Senate, would it not i
lc an easier matter for him to drop
the anti-polygamy. anti-Mormon light? V
If lie were to do this, would not ho
obtain a considerable portion of tbe
Mormou votes in the southeast as a 5
sort of compensation? Thero is no price
the Mormons would consider prohibi- t
tory, if, bv paying it, they could induce: X
Fred T. Dubo'is lo discard his fight , J
against them. If they could bo assured "l
that the Senator would connive at a.
continuance of the Mormon aggression jp.
for a compensation, either of votes or v7
of money. Joseph Smir.li, himself, would. Vj?
send out an edict commanding the saints . .ffi
of Idaho to cast their ballots for Mr. ;.4
Dubois. . '
Inexorable Tighter. "$m
Thc church realize? that Dubois is it3 VU
; most potent enemy in klaho. It has :
' viewed with alarm the remarkable 'i
strides thc Senator has made on a. r.-f
strictl7anti-polygam ' antiMormen
basis. He has so painted the iniquities i'Vw
of church domination in the politics '
and of thc repeated offenses. of polyga- ZM
mists in truth and fact that virtually
the whole people has been aroused and
is determined -that the Mormon voice -x
shall be thrown off for all Lime. "The
State is aware that a condition of "im- jlf
perium in imperio" exists; it is a prop-
osition of u government within a gov- . .tJr
eminent. It is n known fnct that the .tfj.
real executive and legislative authority. '
and a part of thc judicial sanction of ' &J
Idaho emanates from the office of Jo- 5ii
seph F. Smith in Salt Lake Citj'. And $f
there is an insistent demand everywhere L
in ihe State that this controlling" power
be taken from tho Mormon leaders. '-nt
That can be dono by enforcing the con- '
stitution, as Senator Dubois advocates. . m:
If these things were not true, why lias ' gjk
the jack-Mormon Republican party
twice endeavored to provide adequate dQim
laws for the control of Mormons? If II
tbc Republicans in 15)06 Imd not solemn- . M
ly vowed to enact legislation to deal J!
with thc saints, they would not have 3$ J
been elevated to power. Put they j
broke their words, and now tho death- B
knell of Republicanism in Idaho is sor- vfi j
rowfully tolling with that inexorablo . ft
precision which marks the end of all , g
things temporal. It is tbe avowed pur- A
pose of the Democrats to enforce the a i
constitution, aud this pledge has flj 1
brought- to the support of the party a I
vaat number of lecruits from among 'tho 3
respectable Republican element. , L i
