A Bad Break.

Twelve or thirteen years ago lad
of IL embezzled s15, 900 from his en-
ployer's store in New York. He was
afflicted with so-called ''friends" who
spent his money or made him spend it
SO lavishly that he, like so many 9TH
ers, had to resort to his employers
hank account until discovery put him
to flight. He went to Memphis,
''turned over a new leaf" and was so
honest and faithful, 80 courageous in
staying and keeping the store open
during the whole of the yellow fever
plague in 1873, that his employer took
him to Minneapolis with him, where
his conduct was without blemish. He
had the full confidence of the firm and
plentiful opportunity Of repeating the
crime. But he never did and was on
the most friendly relations with the
finest people in that city. Two years
ago he was made a member of the
firm. But the blow. though long in
suspense fell upon him at last. His
identity was discovered. He was ar
rested and taken to New York to an.
swer for his youthful crime. Il write
you calmly" he says in note to his
partner, ':but my heart is broken, and
have no hope for the future. Imade
bad break and must suffer the pen.
atty" The story is Its own lesson.

FEROCIOUS FO0T-PADS.
A Citizen Seriously Maltreated by a
Ruffian.

A dastardly and cowardly act, with
an intent to murder or rob, was made
on the person of Mr.. f. H. Reeder,
between u and o'clock, this morning.
Mr.. Reeder, who is a well-known and
respected citizen of Ogden, was return
ing from the sick-bed of his little grand
daughter, this morning. He arrived at
his store on Fifth Street, and knowing
it was locked in the front, went round a
door or two farther west where little
alley way, between the Idaho Bakery
and Mrs. Watkins building, leads to the
back door of his residence and to the in
terror of the block. AS Mr.. Reeder was
passing along this alley, he was Knocked
down by a man who was hid in a
corner. The villain used bludgeon or
sand bag. The first blow on the top of
the head caused Mr.. Reeder to fall to
the ground, when he was belabored
fearfnlly over the head, receiving sew
eral frightful wounds.
His screams, which were answered by
the people who slept near the place,
and by his own boys, frightened his
assailant. who, after hurriedly "going
through" his victim s pockets, in which
he found nothing, rapidly fed.
MIR. Reeder, almost insensible, made
his way to the door of his residence,
with blood dripping in streams from
the wounds he had obtained. He re-
ceived all the care it was possible to
bestow upon him until DR.. Powers, who
was telephoned for, arrived and dressed
the wounds. Mr.. Reeder's head to-day,
is in q very bad condition-battered
cut, and swollen fearfully. He had
some sleep during the day, but, this
afternoon, his condition was no better.
Certain ruffians are already spotted,
and if caught, will, no doubt, receive
the sure vengeance of the law.-Ogden
Herald 10th.
Welearned last evening that, although
Mr.. Reeder'S condition was rather
serious he had improved somewhat
during the day.

FIRE IN OGDEN.
Mr.. Edward Horrocks' Building
Has a Close Call.

At midnight, last night, the fire alarm
bells, blowing of whistles and shooting
of pistols, alarmed the citizens of Ogden.
The fremen were promptly on the spot,
which was occupied by frame build
ing on Main street, opposite Mr.. George
A. loves place of business. A lively
application OF water, carried in buckets
from across the street by the hook lad
dies and hose-cart boys, nipped the con-
Migration in the bud. The fire was dis
covered and the alarm given by the ever
alert and Vigilant ex-Marshal w. Wa
Fife, who was passing the building on
his way home. He received able as
sistance from the telegraph operators,
who were leaving work at the time. The
origin OF the fire is shrouded in mystery
and surrounded by suspicious evidences.
The building belongs to Mr.. Ed. Hor-
rocks, and is not insured. 1t is lath
and plaster frame building, which
was moved from the corner where the
Broom Hotel now stands. 1t is divided
into two apartments, which are divided
by a middle partition. In the north
apartment is q carpenter shop with a
good supply Of shavings lying round,
The south apartment, where the fire &C.
Cured, was occupied by Mr.. F. A. Gale
as place to store away collins and
other undertakers' goods. The collins
We're piled up in the farther end of the
building, in the partition corner, against
the partition door, a fve-gallon can
of coal oil was snatched from the burn
| ing building by the firemen. Part of that
oil remains in the can to-day, but part
had been spilled upon the floor, to such
an extent that it soaked through and
saturated the soil under the floor.
There was no fire kept in the storeroom,
but the back door was found to be open.
The fire must have been discovered
very quickly or serious results would
soon have followed. As it is, the collins
that were not burned were nearly all
spoiled.
Mr.. Gales loss is estimated at 500
which is covered by insurance. The
partition door and a part of the floor
was burned, large panes of glass in the
| front windows were broken, and two
eight-dollar mortice-locks are missing.
Our reporter, visited the scene, this
morning, where he found Mr.. Ed. Hor-
rocks, who sadly recounted his
! losses, on which he has not cent
of insurance, nor the means TO
make repairs. Gebow, the barber, who
lives in the adjoining premises of Mr..
John Horrocks, tells a very queer story
of q certain man who warned him
| (Gebow) to look out that he did not get
roasted some night, and expressed a
wish that the whole block of buildings
might burn down. Our readers can
take the story for what it is worth. No
one doubts the fire to be the work of an
incendiary (who is supposed to be one
of the many tramps that infest our
city,, nor that Mr.. Ed. Horrocks loses
greatly by it.-Ogden Herald. 18th.
