And glanced amid the leaves:
And from the shrubbery below,

FOOtpads on the Alert.

At the present time Salt Lake City con-
tains more footpads to the square block
than any town in the West. This is at
trlbuted to the fact that the city is a
jumping off place between the East and
West; is poorly lighted; has a very in
adequate police force, and most unsus-
pecting population. 1t is standing mat
ter of surprise that gang of expert
thieves and hold-ups have not visited
Salt Lake and ''done" the place I'D long
ago; Three cases of persons being
held-up this season have been learned Of
in this city.
Last Sunday at midnight Walter Con-
rad started for Fifth South street, and
when near the corner of Main and Fourth
South, a big, burly and unknown man
suddenly confronted him with, 'Hold up
your hands!" Conrad hesitated mo-
ment to size up his wad, and all at once
realizing that he fortunately possessed
but dollar, he elevated his paws. The
desperate hold-up was mad on finding so
small roll and cody told his victim to
walk the other side of the street as he
could hold down that corner himself
some OF these would-be-robbers will get |
dose OF lead some fine evening when
east expected.

STAY AWAY FROM BUTTE.
A Note of Warning to the Miners
and Laboring Men of Utah.

Butte is perhaps the best camp in the
world for laboring men, says the Miner OF
that town. Wages are high and regularly
paid. In the mines, mills and smelters
here there are over four thousand men
employed and their wages amount to
about 100000 per month. These facts
seem to have been circulated throughout
the country and the result has been a
tremendous influx of laboring men
seeking employment in every
avenue of trade. A large majority
of them are miners from the played-out
camps of Colorado, Utah and Nevada.
Most of them are "broke' and they come
here expecting to get work on their arri-
val, only to be disappointed. Every min
ing superintendent receives from 20 to 100
applications per day for work which he
cannot give. The situation is appalling.
Winter is coming on, and it will be cold
and long. What these idle men will do
to sustain themselves becomes very i'm
portant problem to other people here as
well as to themselves. 1t will do them no
good to remain here. Butte cannot give
employment to all the men in the Rocky
mountains. Montana during the winter
months possesses no attractions for idle
men and they will only suffer if they re-
main here in such large numbers. There
is nothing ahead of them but continued
ldleness, unless by scattering to the small
mining districts, wood camps and farms,
they can secure employment until the
prospecting season next year.
