Salt Lake, June 18.—A special to the Herald from Brigham, Utah, says: The residents of this town are excited tonight over the kidnap- ing of Nels Anderson, jr., the 17- year-old son of a prominent mer- chant.qAnderson’s father owns a# farm near Brigham, upon which the boy worked, Young Ander- son stopped at his father’s house in town on Sunday nightand it was thought had left for the farm early Monday morning. Yesterday morning a farm hand called at the Anderson residénce and inquired for the boy. On searching the house young Anderson’s straw hat was found with the following note pinned to it: “Your son is kidnaped, and we demand $5,000 for his release to be paid by the waterfall cast of Brigham, or his arms and legs will be cut off and he will be killed. We mean every word we say. (Signed) ‘Chain Gang Robbers.” The sheriff was immediately no- tified, and a search for the lad in- stituted, but up to tonight no trace of him has been found. . Young Anderson teld his parents on Sunday evening that two stran- gers had threatened to kitinap him, but no attention,was paid to the warning. ‘Dan. Plumb, who shot has wife, his mother-in-law and two-yeat* old child killing it at Virginia city on October 29, 1901, was. brought before Judge Parker’s Court on ‘|the 10th npon an affidavit of Dr. P.

An interesting case to horsemen has been on trial in Judge Cooley’s court for six days when the defend- ant was discharged. Wim. Jack: son who lives near Beef Straight was arrested on complaint of Theoplilo Bonneau for branding four of Bonneau’s horses with in- tent to steal them. Mr. - Pace represented the complaining wit- néss and Judge Showers the de- fondant, The testimony was very con- flivting as to the Wentity of the horses arn! also ‘as*to- the owner: ship. One of thehorses described in the complaint was ‘‘one gray mare three years old.” . The: de- fendant admitted branding - a gray mare five years old, and aftér examining her teeth that she was four years old. Another horse described inthe complaint was ‘‘one bay colt with one white hind leg.’’ The defendant admitted branding a brown stallion. with two white hind legs a little white above its front hoofs and a star in its forehead and at least seven years of age. Bonneau testified the colt was five years old. The defendant and two wittnesses tes- tified that a bay horse with one white leg was recently seen on the range still unbranded. Bonneau claimed the brown horse branded by Jackson was so wild- that he could not corral it to brand it, but that he could get within fifteen feet of it in the hills and knew its markings and that it was his bay colt with one white hind leg. An- other horse, was described as ‘one brownish mouse color mare,’’ Each Bonneau and Jackson, claimed it was his and there was strong testimony that the colt did not be- long to Bonnéau’s. black mare, as he clainied it did. The other horse was described in the com- plaint as ‘‘one bay mare with bald face.” Jackson claimed it belonged to one of his ‘76’? mares which Bonneau had run to death. Bon- neau admitted running the band in which was the 76 mare and that when near the corral she got be- hind the bunch and had no wind and said that he drove her about an “‘acre’’ from the corral where eho died because she had no wind. It appeared from the testimony that Jackson had bought. all the Dagenhart horses and the open diamond. branding iron. The de- fendant attempted to show that it was thé custom of the ranger to consider all unbranded horses that had Ieft their mothers, ‘‘maverics’’ and that any one having hors. running on the range, had the right to brand a maverick and that thereafter it was the property of the person owning the brand. During the trial W. M. Fergus was called to testify and before he was permitted to tell his name Judge Cooly asked him why he kad referred to his court on the street, as a “‘Kangroo Court.” Mr. Fergus declined to answer and the court imposed a fine of of five dollars, and required him to pay the fine before he could testify. It also appeared, in the testimony that Bonncau claimed Jackson owed him sixty dollars for a saddle mare and saddle which he had loaned Jackson, and which mare he~elaimeéed had died from hard usage by Jackson. There was ‘testimony as to settle» ments made of that matter and not complied with by either party At the conclusion of the trial Judge Cooley said he had never heard such conflicting testimony in the trial of any case,—and discharged the defendant.

It is that of couttail puller, The duties of that office in no way In terfere with those of his other post tion, which is that of clerk of the house of representatives, The other office came into existence at Norris town In the fall ef 1900, while Quay was making his memorable canvass for re-election to the senate, The colo. nel realized that the men In his party were talking too long, so he designated McDowell as the person to notify the MAJOR ALEXANDER M'DOWELE, man on bis feet that he had spun his yarn to a suitable length It was agreed that the major should pull the conttail of the speaker when he had consumed twenty minutes. Quay wos the frst man to fecl the tug that notified him that he must shut up, but the notice startled ‘the “old man.” He turned such a look of sur. prise at the major that he became the central figure in the hall. Then it dawned upon the senator that the ma- jor was only carrying out bis duly ap- pointed task, “All right, major; I'l! quit,” said the senator, “You know your part all right.” Turning to the crowd, the sona- tor sald “Good night” and left the stage without even a word of apology for the abruptness of bis conclusion, flow Secretary Reot Keats, Secretary Root is generally recoy- nized as one of the hardworking mem: bers of the cabinet, Indeed, some of his friends bave felt called upon te swarn him that bis exertions tn aie terests of the war departinent often carry him past the line of prodence, but the secretary has been known, , anys the Washington Star, to rest his brain whon the fact is entirely onsus pected, A short time ago a delegation from one of the southern states called upon him to urge the establishineht of a large cawp in a certain part of thelr state, Almost Immediately after they had left the department a vewspaper ;gnan saw the secretary and asked: “Mr. Secretary, in what part of —— did they want the camp located\ Mr. Root looked just the tintest embarrassed.
