251885 To the Editor of TnE HERALD The Second Judicial District Court woundup its business today for the March term and took a formal adjournment until the 4th day of May Yesterday the famous PaceWoodard murder case was brought to a final end by the jury after being outallnightrendering a verdict of not guilty on all the counts in the indictment that the Grand Jury had brought against the detendant Pace Although it is a very serious matter for one human being to imbrue his hands in the blood of his fellow man yet it would appear from the evidence brought lorward at the recent trial of Pace that the circumstances both previous and existing were such that this defendant had no alternative but to do as he did and although all sober minded persons will doubtless regret the sad necessity of Woodards taking off in that manner at the hands of an officer of the law in the exercise of his duty yet it seems to be a matter of relief with many that Woodard is not there any more to defy the rights of his late fellow citizens as well as the plain law of the land However the general verdict is May he rest in peace One of the closing acts of the March term of the District Court was the formal arraignment of Wm Fathering ham on a charge of alleged unlawful cohabitation After the indictment had been read to the defendant and before he had time to plead his attorney Messrs Denny and Christian interposed and argued what would seem to be a welltaken demurrer based upon some plain defects in the language ot the indictment but it was no go the charger justice evidently saw too good a chance to get even with his old oratorical antagonist Fotheringham and he accordingly overruled the demurrer and ordered that the defendant be placed under good and sufficient bonds to appear for trial at the May term The March term of court has not by the way panned out so well in tho war legal business of any kind as was generally anticipated I but one actual conviction been bad in the whole term ana that was of the larcenist Carr who partly on his own confession was convicted of theft and sent for two year tu the Territorial pen Laban Miuril plead guiltv to an indictment for unlawful cohabitation and the Court out of becoming respect for tho feeble old veteransuspendedsentence indefinitely The cases referred to together with the trial of Pace before alluded to constitute almost all the business pf the term as far as trial and conviction is concerned I learn that the jurors for the coming May term of this judicial district were drawn this morning in oj en court Contrary to legislative enactment there were no less than thirty names drawn from the box to fill the grand and petit jury panels respectively This draft of sixty names exhausts with the exception of a bakersdozen All of the original 200 names placed In the box for the year What the succeeding fall and winter terms will door jurors is left to conjecture Possibly the open venire system will be brought into requisition and I need not dilate upon the advantages toe gained by such adoption It is rumored that Zera Snow severs his connection this week with the Assistant United States District Attorney ship and that he contemplates taking up his residence erelong in Portland Oregon where he will enter upon the practice of his profession XIMENES LIST OF JUKORS Drawn for service at the May

charged with stealing and carrying away 100 feet of lawn hose of the value of 20 the property of Robert Dye of Twentieth ward on the 20th day of March 1885 The charge was read to him and he entered a plea of guilty Upon being questioned by his honor defendant stated that he had been in the city about four months and came from Colorado where he had friends that on the day of the theft he was without money and means and as he had to have some to live on herc sorted io this means of gaining a livelihood He sold the hose for 2 Justice Speirs fined him 00 or sixty days labor Boying ton was recognized as one of the parties arrested a short time since for burglarizing the house of Geo Careless and who was discharged the evidence being insufficient to convict A and Ruff were arrested charged with doing business as fresh meat dealers without license Continued to April 4th 1885 at 10 am John Riley who was arrested on the 26th charged with assaulting and cutting Edward Wilson with a

him or where he was when he was cut didnt know whether he cut himselfor not He seemed to know so little about it that Attorney Fletcher gave up in despair spair Richard Bvnon testified that he saw Riley and Wilson near Buhrings store at depot that they were pretty full of liquor and Riley was standing on the walk and Wilson was approaching him Riley said Dont come near me Wilson said Come along or something to that effect than Riley drew a knife and opened it raised it and hrmiphf it ilnwn TinnnWil san he afterwards saw Wilson covered with blood Thomas Daniels and Officer Calder testified in regard to the matter and it was gleaned from them that Riley was I drinking with Wilson that the bloody i knife was taken from Riley and he admitted that it was the knife used and defendant seemed to be afraid that he would get hurt on account of the cutting Defendant offered no testimony and the case Was argued and submitted defendant claiming that no case had been made out Justice Speirs thought

storm of Friday morning had as an accompani snout numerous flashes of vivid lightning Israel Spitz residing in Brighton precinct about four miles west of this cityover the Jordan river was awakened a little before 2 oclock am to find the wooden shed or summer kitchen add ion to his adobe house on fire The flames spread rapidly and soon devastated the entire building consuming everything therein except a few chairs a lounge and some bed quilts which himself and family hastily removed barely escaping personal injury and not havin sufficient time to exchange their night clothes for ordinary dress Lightning is supposed to have een the cause pf conflagration as no ire had been lit in the wooden kitchen for several months and all the lights around the house had been extinguished from the early evening previous The disaster leaves Mr Spitz and family in very straitened circumstances but they are grateful that their stable con ainincr then horses and wagonwith hay etc were some distance from the house and thus spared from destruction by the devouring flames The neighbors kindly lent all the assistance in their power being awakened and called to the fire by a sagacious shepherd dog belonging to Mr Spitz which intuitively ran to all the neighbors residences and persisted in continued barking and scratching at their doors and windows until they were thoroughly aroused The Premiums

Democrats One 5 of the most difficult things to achieve nowadays is the taskof walking down Main Street without meeting a Democrat who is not a candidate for some one of the numerous positions in Utah which it is expected will soon be vacant Aspirants for the marshalship have grown scattering since Mr Dyers boom commenced but envious eyes are being directed to other vacancies Candidates didates toJudge Emersons seat are now numerous but Hoe is said to have a more numerous local backing than any others Ransford Smith has only a few supporters in Salt Lake but Captain Cross Ogden is still working strenuously for him with the under standing it is rumored that he is to be rewarded with the Clerkship which would fall within the Judges appointment Judge Williams of Ogden is men ioncd but has no support among the local bar THE HERALD affords all aspirants to Judge Emersons seat a pointer gratis A private letter received in this office from Washington tates that Garland has said that no man will be appointed to the position who has taken either side in the MormonLiberal fight the impression in Washington now exists that an eastern man will be sent out to fill the vacant judgeship This may be sad but it is true PROSPECTIVE AMPUTATION Young St Clair Suffering from Diseased Foot Bones On Thursday a 14year old son of St Clair formerly connected with the Utah Northern was brought to the city from Eagle Rock having been for a long time a sufferer from diseased bones of the instep and left foot proper caused by a probable bruise The boy had been under the care and treatment of Drs Bean and Mitchell of Ogden who atdiferent times removed several pieces of diseased bone The injured foothas continued to grow worse until an abscess has formed giving the patient considerable pain and trouble The disease was still progressing with a prospect of finally terminating in the absolute loss of the use of the member and this fact induced Mr St Clair to sendliis son to Salt Lake City for treatment He was taken to the Sisters Hospital and Friday his father arrived with Dr Bean Yesterday a consultation was held which occupied I four hours and in which Drs Benedict Fowler and Bean participated at which JI it was determined to make an examination of the diseased foot The boy was put tinder the influence of chloroform and an exploratory incision was made which demonstrated the existence of disease of the bones of the foot This examination will determine the surgeons on an amputation of the foot at the ankle joint and the operation will be performed on receiving advices from the father who returned to Eagle Rock yesterday Should the amputation named occur which is considered by surgeons as the nicest known in the science of surgery Dr Benedict will leave tho heel for an artificial foot to be adjusted to I Counterfeit Currency One of the clerks in Van Horns grocery store was victimized yesterday in changing a 10 greenback and by a boy too The youngster entered the store very hurriedly asked for change which was hurriedly given when the shaver hurriedly departed The whole transaction was done rather too hurriedly as the storeman found to his grief as after a close inspection of the bill he found it a poor counterfeit Merchants say there are a number of bogus greenbacks around jnst now some of which it is difficult to detect from the genuine I PERSONALS II

painfully surprised to learn that he breathed his last at 220 yesterday afternoon of a complaint which has not yet been fully analyzed but which seems from the symptoms to have been violent stom achic disorders coupled with perhaps heart disease It was so recently that Mr Kelsev was well and alive in his office and was iiuoted in THE HERALD with regard to the Grand Jurys investigating his marital relations that the news of his demise yesterday was generally received with the deepest surprise An inquiry among his nearest friends elicited the information that on Thursday at 1140 am while writing in his office he suddenly ceased his work being seized by some unknown affection he started from his chair and fell heavily on the lounge his eyes protruding and the sweat falling in great beads from his forehead His son who was present immediately summoned I Dr White who on arrival found the patient in too critical a condition for removal till about 5 when he was taken to his home in the Eighth Ward Every care and attention were shown but all to no avail as he gradually sank until death relieved him of suffering at the time before stated Eli Kelsy was born in Sciota County Ohio October 27th 1819 and was therefore in his 66th year He joined the Mormon Church in 1843 lived in Kentucky at the time but subsequently in Illinois Iowa and Indiana arriving in Utah on November 13th fM illk 1852 Tie was a man of recognized ability in business affairs and of sterling integrity he had a large circle of friends here and elsewhere who will join the afflicted family in their bereavement Mr Kelsey was one of those most noted in the number who left the Mormon church at the time of the Godbeite movement he embraced no other religion however and remained a Liberal or free thinker though his mind was somewhat inclined towards spiritualism He was universally esteemed as conscientious and honorable in all his dealings his judgment and discretion brought him the confidence of a great many business men and capitalists and at the time of his death he held large sums for outside parties which he was loaning on real estate in this city he leaves his family in good circumstances though most of the means he acquired in earlier days had been spent in various mining operations It has not yet been decided when the funeral will be held It was understood that some of the relatives of the ceased desired a postmortem examination while others did not and last evening they were undecided as to whether have one or not giving the attending physician Dr White to understand that they would decide and inform him but up to a late hour last night the doctor had not learned what conclusion they had arrived at If a post mortem examination is made it will no donbt take place this morning
