'I'liorc is every indication that I lie
time is not, far distant when the county
commissioners arc to he brought to
' i task for their reckless disregard of the
B :iv. in handing over 10 the Smoot
"Mouth" approximately $5700. for the
j print in of the county delinquent mx
Jist without observing the little formnl-
- Sly of soliciting bids. A civil, suit to
compel the commissioners to reimburse
the county for the excessive amount;

whispered. In fact, the whisper Ihrent
1 ens to burst into an avalanche.
A loiter of Count v Treasurer .lohn
, A. Ciosibcck threatens to bring (he

been for the preceding three years.
"When he recovered, he sat down and
wrote County Auditor Frank Hcgin

, Mr. Grocsbeck then sat himself down
and, although the commissioners are
onlv rwo floors above him and the floors
i :ro oonnccied by a perfectly safe ele
vator, addressed a second letter to the
commissioners in which he set out his
1 "pigeon holed" let'ter to Mr. Heirin-
' botham and emitted another, long and
; somewhat loud kick against having the
' bill taxed against his office, especially
! in view of the fact that he had nothing
lo do with contracting it.
i This was several days ago. Nothing
was hoard of the letter until Monday
', afternoon. Then the aristocratic conn
i tv patriots read the letter over ar, the
I regular sessiou two or three times, but
i did not allow it to go on the records.
, ; Oh. no! They were too wise for that.
A careful search of the minutes showed
no trace of the letter, which leads to
the conclusion that it i; safely riding

Strong, proprietor of the "bar at 01 Com
mercial street. Strong will bo sum
moned to appear before the council at
Chief of Police Barlow's instance, aud

Mr, Wood and Mr. Martin engaged
in a spiriled tilt over the petition of
.1. S. Cleveland and. suvernl othor
teamsters that provision for a three
nich tire be made in the new widc-tire
ordinance, and that the teamsters be
given more time in which to furnish
their wagons with new tires. Mr. Wood
mox'ed that six months' . time be
granted, expressing 'it as his opinion
that tho street department is in too
much of a hurry about; the matter. Mr.
Martin claimed to seo a covert attack
upon the street department in this, and
annonnceod his undving fealty to
Supervisor lialcigh. Mr. Wood as
serted that if 100 or 150 teamsters have
grievances against tho street depart
ment there must bo something rotten
in that department. Tho petition went
to the streets and municipal laws committee.-
To protect the city from damage
suits resulting from street accidents,
the building inspector hereafter is to
get a sufiicient; bond from contractors
asking permission to tear up or cncloso
a part of the streets for building pur

a city market, went, to tho markets com
mittee. Yowcll wants the hucksters

Harlow as special polico for Second
South street, from Third West to Fifth
West, was revoked, and W. E. Biys was
appointed a special for tho Deliver &
THo Grande Itailway company's yards.
"According to one of tho couucilmen
tonight, we have such a great and good
man at Iho head of tho street dnparl
nicnt that, I will not move to reconsid
er the matter of giving him a special
officer to enforce the wide-tire ordi
nance and prosecute teamsters spilling
sand and gravel upon tho street," de
clared Mr. Wood, wheu this matter
came up.
The city attorney's ordinance, in
tended to cnlch tho ten loan companies
not required to pay the city a liccuso
for the reason that thoj' do not re
quire a. pledge of personal property
upon a loan, was pussed. This will
add $1000 annually to tho city's reve
nues. The board of public works list of
inspectors, with their places of employ
ment, was referred, at Mr. Fernstrom's
suggestion, to tho finance committee.
Domiuick PIcscia's request for a re:
fund of $100 on the unexpired part of
his liquor license for GO South "West

COKHISIIIilERS AFTER
TELEPHOWE COMPAHlESj
i
County Fathers Want Pay From
Phone People tor Exten
sion of Lines.
The county commissioners want the
telephone conipnnics to pay the cdunty
something for the privilege of extend
ing their lines all over tho county,!
and may appeal to the legislature to
give them power to tax the telephone !
companies operating in the county for
this privilego.
The city receives something from
the telephone companies for this
privilege, and tho commissioners feel
that tho countv is entitled to somo re
muneration. 'I'hc city now receives
from ench telephone company operating-
here 1 per cent of the gross earn
ings annually, and tho county would
like In get the same. Tn addition, the
city gois lifty froo telephones from
each telephone company, and this par
ticularly appeals to jho county com
missioners, since their littlo graft of
having the county pay for the tele
phones installed in their residences,
nnd used mainly for private and do
mestic use, was cut off. The commis
sioners argue that the ielephono com
panies' lines extend along the high
ways of tho county for tho most part,
and that tho county is entitled to
something for this space.
Until 100S tho city recoived a fixed
licenso on each phono in uso from the
telephone companies, but a' few
months ago the ordinauco was amended
to. pvo the tclophono companies the
option of paying this license tax or
giving the city 1 per cent of their gross
earnings annually in lieu of the license.
The telephone companies ehoso tho lat
ter option. From tho Bell company
the city will, receive about $2500 an
nually, it is estimated, and from the
Independent about $1GOO or $1S00.
Tho item of froo phones saves the city
quite an expense, too.

,T. ,T. Fox, a .iowelry drummer, travel

night, at G o'clock in the hallway of a
rooming houso in Greek town and a
few minutes after tho robbery Police
man Woods arrested G. Stains, one of
tho four men who did the deed. At po

ots. Fox had made arrangements to meet
iho Groelcs in a house in tho renr of 551
WTcst Second South street to sell them
somo watches as ho supposed. Ifo was
there as agreed and four men met him.
One of the men said ho wanted to buy
a rovolver, but Fox informed him he
did not havo one to sell and did not
oven carry ouo. After bartering for a
while tho Greeks refused to mako a
purchase. As Fox stepped out into tho
hallway of tho houso tho four men,
lie says, stopped out behind him and
ouo drew a revolver and another a long
knife and made Fox throw up his hands.
Six watches were taken from him.

AGED 11 EG1D DEAD
IS HIS LIEU HOME
Peter Neilson, Alias Peter Mal
lcrup, Passes Away From
Heart Trouble.
Peter Neilson, alias Pot or Mallcmp,
75 years old, was found dead in the
kitchen of his home, on Eleventh East
street, south of Twelfth South street,
Monday afternoon, by Charles Davis, a
guard at tho Utah slate prison. From
all appearances tho man had been dead
several days. Deputy Sheriffs Smith
aud Emory wero sent to the home, but
could learn nothing that would lead to
suspicion of foul play. Tho old mail
was found dead, seated in a chair with
a newspaper in his lap aud his head
j resting on tho edge of tho table. Heart
trouble is supposed to have caused his
! death.
Davis's attention was called to the
face that tho old man had not been
fieen sineo last Tuesday, when he was
known to go lo a grocery store close
l3r to purchase oil. and went to iho
house to find out, if he could, what had
become of tho occupant. JTo found the
key in the lock on the outside of the
door, and when entering saw the man
sealed iu a. chair. Going furl her into
I lie house ho learned that tho. man was
dead.
Nephi Tunpson, acting coroner of the
precinct where the man made his home,
was notified. After waiting several
hours, the deputies notified Sheriff
Sharp Uiat. the coroner had not arrived,
and the bod was ordered removed lo
the Evans undertaking est ablislment.
Pishop John M. AVhitaker of Sugar
House ward knew the old man very
well, as the Mormon church had been
aiding in supplying him with the neces
sities of life. Mr. Whilakor said
Monday night that the old man's right
name was Neilson. but of iate he has
called himself Mallerup, as there wero
so many persons named Neilson living
in Salt Lake, lie had come from the
I southern part, of the state about, a year
I and a half ago, ami had lived alone.

NITS EXTENSION
Utah Light. & Railway Company
Makes Request of Com
missioners. BINGHAM JUNCTION AND
SANDY TO GET BENEFIT
County May Not Ask for Any
Remuneration for the
Extensions.
The extension of the street railway
service to Bingham .lunction and
Sandy is tentatively promised in the
request of tho Utah Light & Railway
company of the county commissioners
of an enrly consideration of its appli
cation for further extension of its
franchise in the county outside of Salt
Lake City.
i Tho railway company has long had
under consideration the extension of'
; its Murray lino to Sandy aud possibly
another line to Bingham Junction, but
there are several good reasons why this
has not been done. Murray wants a
five-cent fare to Salt Lako City. This
the street railway company has abso
lutely refused anil the county commis
sioners havo been solicited by some
of the iralc citizens of Murray to uso
tho matter of granting a franchise to
Sandy as a club over the railway com
pany' to forco tho reduction from I en
j cents lo five eon Is in tho faro from
Murray to Salt Lake City. The eom-
! inissioncrs are a littlo dubious about
j wrestling with tho proposition, "but it
is understood that, whilo the commis
sioners nro divided on tho matter, tho
Sandy franchise will not bo granted
unless the street railway company
agrees to reduce tho faro between Mur
ray .and Salt Lako lo five cents within
at least ten years. Tho cilizous. of
Murray, of course, want a shorter time
and have named fivo years, aud it is
a question of whether sufficient pres
sure can bo brought upon tho commis
sioners to 'gel them to stand firm and
refuse to grant tho Sandy franchiso
unless tho company agrees to so reduce
the faro within five years.
Whether the county will ask any
thing in return for granting tho ex
tension of tho franchiso to Sandy is
uncertain now, but tho commissioners
nppear to think that Iho county ought
lo be satisfied with the extension of
the street railway lines over (he county
without asking the"" company to pay
anything for this privilege. Interur
ban lines are a great, benefit n the
county, and there will bo littlo or no
dispute over the railway company's
paving tho county anything for the
extension of its franchise throughout
the county if tho lines are built.
The extension to Sandy probably will
be mado this year, while it is londly
hoped that the Iiiugham .lunction line
will be begun. Once started, it is
believed, the railway company will
build lines to other nearby towns and
thus connect them with Salt. Lako City
within a few minutes time. Tho ex
tensions would in all probability have
been built and running ero now if tho
smelters had not closed down.

Murphy broke away and siarled to

Has Trouble With Wife, and
Charged With Disturbing
the Peace.
Hugo W. Bohne is deeply immersed
in troubles, others than thoso of a
marilal nature, but his lntest. predica
ment arises out of these troubles, in
connection with his inability to get
nlong with his wife, Nanny Olga
Bohne. Bohne is lodged behind the
bars of the county jail, charged with
disturbing the peace.
Alleging that Bolmo had driven her
out of tho-houso with threats upon her
life, and thrown her clothes out. into
the yard. Mrs. Bohne brought suit for
divorce from him in tho Third Dislricl.
court Fridny. Twenty-four hours
nfterward, Saturday, upon complaint
sworn to bv Clarence M. Cannon and
Archibald Frceburn, neighbors of the
warring Bohnes, and issued by tho
county attornev. Bohne was arresled
by Deputy Sheriff Axel II. Steele and
incarcerated in the county jail on the
charge of disturbing the pcaco of his
neighbors, nnd particularly that of Can
non and Frceburn.
Found tacked upon Bohno's domi
cile, in a conspicuous place, was a
pencil-written note to the effect that if
''strangers" attempted to replace his
wife's wearing apparel and othor ef
foots in the houso from iho yard, where
he had thrown them, he would burn
tho articles. Tho note was in German,
Bohno's tongue, and had to be trans
lated into English before tho county
attorney's or tho sheriff's ollicc could
tell anything about it. At tho time of
Bohno s arrost, it is alleged, Lc had
built a fire in his yard in anticipation
of an ofi'ort on tho part of his wife or
neighbors to rcplaco Mrs. Bohne 's
clothing in the house, upon which, it
is supposed, judging from tho note ho
left, he intended to heap his wife's
things and thus destroy them.

George Stokes and Olic Pierce
Have Fierce and Bloody
Encounter.
Dispute over a card game Monday
afternoon resulted in George Stokes,
colored, 22 .years old, being struck in
the side of tho head by a large-sized
green liquor bottle in tho hands of an
other negro named Olic Pierce, who
was arrested shortly after the trouble
by Detectives Burt and Chase.
Stokes went to tho emergoncv
hospital in I he city jail, and it took
Dr. F. B. Steele two hours to sew and
dress the terrible wound made. The
bottle, when it struck against Stokes's
head, broke, and the sharp edges of
the glass cut a gash four inches long,
starling close to tho right, eye and
leading down on to tiro check. Sev
eral other smaller cuts were made on
tho neck.
Stokes says he was watching a card
gamo iu tho American houso on Com
mercial street, when he saw one of the
players cheating. Ho spoko to tho man,
and nsked him his renson for not plav
ing fair. Pierce then lold Stokes to
mind his own business, and from that
the row started. ,
Tho cut was a bad ono to sew up,
and no little skill had to be used on the
part of the physician to sew the pieces
of llesh together so as not lo leave a
prominent scar.

Ten days ago Doming was found
guilty by a jury in Judge Lewis's di
vision of destroying county jail prop
erty, and Monday morning Judge Lewis
passed sentenco upon the desperado pal
of Joo Sullivan, murderer. Doming,
now serving ten years at hard labor
in tho stato prison for highway rob
bery, was sentenced to fivo vears more
at hard labor for destroying county
jail property. This will make his im
prisonment expire in February of
1023 instead of 1918, tho date his sen
tenco for highway robbery cuds.
It doesn't pay to dischargo roguarly
appointed and capable attorneys and
defend one's self, in tho opinion of
Judgo Lewis, delivered in passing son
tonco upon Doming. Tho court inci

"You and j'our kind," declared
Judge Lewis, ''aro a constant meuaco
to society. You havo followed tho path
of evil so long that 'ou and your kind
consider it common and jusjifiablo to
'bump off an officer. Jlad tho dis
trict attorney known several weeks "be

when you were on the witness stand,
yoit would now bo facing fifteen 'cars
additional imprisonment in tho state
prison for being nn habitual criminal,
for you could easily havo been con
victed of that charge. Thcro wero miss
ing links in the case nguinst you, which
you supplied yourself after your dis
missal of five different, attorneys, be
cause they refused to do your unpro
fessional bidding, nnd elected to con
duct your own defense."
"Tho sentence of the court is,"
Judgo Lewis continued, after tho cus
tomary questions had been asked of
tho prisoner, "thnt you be confined,
at hard labor, in tho state prison, for
a term of five 'ears. boginning nt the
expiration of .your present, sentence."
Considerably Humbled.
Doming appeared considerably
humbled by Judgo Lewis's classifica
tion of his attempt at conducting his
own defense as a bungle. Doming had
absolutely no statement to mako for
himself. He spoke not a word while
in tho courtroom.
Doming began his sentence for high
way robbery February 28, 190S. With
no merit marks to his credit, this sen
tence would expire February 28, 1018.

HAVE OUR GREAT MILLION
AIRES GOOD JUDGMENT?
Havo you noticed that the ma
jority of the wills disposing of
tho fortunes of our most success
ful men when admitted to pro
bute havo been found lo name
somo reliable trust company as
executor and trustee to manago
and dispose of the estates in ac
cordance with the wishes of tho
deceased ? -
These men, whoso accumulated
fortunes aro proof of their good
judgment realize that an indiv-.
ldual privately appointed as
trustee is not required to report
tox a court, is not compelled to
havo his accounts auditod, and
tho real condition of the estate
he is managing is not officially
inspected. Even his bo.nd, if
called into question, may not
prove salisf actor'.
Tf you appoint n friend, no mat
ter how honorable ho may bo, to
look, after the affairs of your
widow and orphans, sickness,
death, absence from home, pres
sure of his own privato business,
inexperience, inability or careless
ness on his part, may provent
your will being executed as you
desire.
The Utah Savings and Trust
company is authorized by law to
act in any and all capacities
where a trustee is neoded.
This trust company is pf neces
sity experienced in legal mat
ters, has knowledge of values of
property and investments, has a
system of records and roports
that aro invnlunblo to the estate
and to your heirs,- has a fixed
place of business, and niakos a
business of tho caro of estates.
The fees for the services of a
trust company are no larger than
the courts allow an individual to
charge, and an cstato valued at
$2000 receives the samo careful
administration as doos an estato
of $200,000.
The "services of our legal de
partment arc at your command
when you desire to make or alter
