Thought He Was Wanted.

A practiced detective can frequently
discern at glance that q man is q
rogue. The stamp of dishonesty ON his
features, or his anxiety on being OBJ
served, tells the story. A remarkable
illustration OF this fact was narrated by
the Boston correspondent OF the Hing
ham Journal yeal or two ago. The
detective was Constable Derastus Clapp,
the successor of sold Reed" q famous
rogue catcher of Boston half century
ago. who was for forty years the terror
cf eviI-doers in and about the New Eng
land metropolis.
Olapp was a shrewd man and most
excellent Judge of human nature. He
could tell rogue as far off as he could
tell a black man, and he never made
mistakes. His ''come along with me"
was imperative and admitted of no argu-
ment.
An instance of his readiness In read
inc character occurred one morning in
the upper criminal court A case OF
considerable interest was being tried,
and the gallery was crowded with spec
sators.
Two or three reporters were sitting
near vne door, when Clapp STOPPING over,
whispered:
sDon't all look at once, but please
observe that nice looking man with the
white cravat, in the front middle seat
of the gallery.
We looked. "Now," says Clapp, "I'n
bet that can set that man travelling out
of the court house on the double-qu
in less than five minutes nor will leave
the room or send him any message"
While we were wondering how the
feat was to be accomplished, the veteran
quietly beckoned to Officer Tallant,
and taking pair of handouts from his
pocket, directed that officers attention
to the party IN the gallery, and appar-
emily gave him some directions.
Tallant opened the door and stepped
into the entry, and at the same instant
the gentleman with the white cravat
bolted like lightning through the crowd
tc the door, and disappeared.
| Gentleman" remarked Clapp, 81
oever saw that man before in my life.
It illustrates the scriptural saying. THE
wicked flee when no man pursueth.

sentence of vagrants for ninety days and
confining them to a bread-and-water

ment for that period on the diet pre-

and thereby violates the constitutional

A Case Of KleptOmania.

Two well-dressed women, whose kin
ship could be seen at glance, entered
a Woodward avenue dry goods store the
other day and took seats at the silk
counter, The clerk had scarcely COM
menced his weather report when one OF
the women said:
''It is my duty to warn you that my
sister is a confirmed kleptomaniac, and
that you must watch her closely"
After little while the ''klep" moved
along to another seat, and the clerk felt
it his duty to give her his most vigilant
attention. Twenty minutes time was
consumed and no purchase made, and
as the women left the store the clerk
fiattered bimselt that the little one with
the Grecian nose had tried it on the
wrong merchant.
"What made you watch that person sc

A Bad Boys Bright Idea.

Some carpenters at work on build
ing near the foot OF Broadway gave an
old woman a piece of four:een-foot pine
ceiling for firewood. The board was too
long to carry home, and the old woman
had no implements with which to break
it up. A bright-faced lad of 8 or IL
years stood by and saw the trouble the
old woman was in. He considered 3
moment, and then picked up paving
stone and carried it out to the middle
of the street. Then he put one end OF
the board on the stone and waited re-
suits. A South Ferry stage rumbled
along down the street and rolled over
the board, breaking it off near the stone,
The old woman picked up the pieces,
and the boy again put the end of the
board upon the stone. An express
wagon rolled by and left the board two
feet shorter than 1t was before. Wagons
and stages passed on, breaking up the
board until the old woman had hel
arms full of pieces. Then the boy car
ried the paving stone back to the gut

SMITHS OR MRS. sMITH'sG
Henry Kciiow Gets some Experi-
cncc i'm n Transaction with
the Smith Family.

Last Saturday a young man named
Kelow, from Idaho, was brought before
the Grand Jury on complaint of Char
lotte Smith, charging him with stealing
two horses, wagon and harness, valued
in all at $3.50, belonging to the plaintiff.
An Indictment was found against Kellow,
and he was this morning arraigned before
Judge Zane and pleaded not guilty to the
offensc. Bonds were placed mt $1,000,
which hisattorneys, Watrous and Kessler,
stated were larger than he could possibly
procure, as he is stranger in
the Territory. On suggestion of
the prosecuting attorney the bonds were
reduced to $500, which Kellow has hopes
of securing. An immediate trial was re-
quested, as the case contains some pc
culiar features, and if put off it would
probably be postponed until February.
The Court ordered the matter set aside
for the present, until an opportunity pre-
sented itself, when the case would be at
tended to.
II is said that Kellow came from Idaho
the first of the month with this team and
placed them in private stable. A few
days afterward Smith came 10 him and
advised that he put the horses in his
(Smith's) stable, as it contained a lock
and key, and the team would be more
secure. Kellow says he did as requested
and kept them there about week at his
own expense. At the end OF tho week
Mrs. Smith came to him and said that
the team belonged to her and that he
must not take them out of the
stable, but Kcllow paid no attention to
the orders, and removed the team from
Smiths stables on the afternoon OF the
10th instant to John WickePs stables, on
Commercial street, where the horses were
cared for at defendants expense. Kel-
low has in his possession n bill OF sale
from Smith for the whole outfit. The
papers were signed in Idaho by Smith,
in consideration OF 5000 paid by
Kellow, by which he intends
to hold the team and prove his innocence
of the charge. On the other hand, Mrs.
Smith claims that the horses belonged to
her, and that Smith had no right to dis
pose of them. Mr.. Smith sets up that it
was a bogus sale. There is letter in
evidence from Mrs. Smith to her husband
to sell the team, as it seems was done.
The case promises some interesting de-
velopments when brought to trial.

property near Dublin, Ireland, but being

death, ten years ago. On his death-bed
he willed all his property to the elder
Golden.

Where the Dollar Goes Eurthest

The approach OF the holidays make one
feel rs though every dollar should have at

pect their presents, so do employees and
servants, and if the pocket is not entirely
drained by that time, friends and other
dear ones have to be remembered. Ii we
cannot make dollar worth double its
value, we can at least try to secure as
much for it as can possibly be got, and if
you will for this purpose call at Simon
Bros, establishment, you will leave their
place after having made your purchase
with Il smile OF satisfaction upon your
countenance.
The bargains in Fancy Goods, Ladies

Goods, Gloves, Jcwelry, Woolen Goods
and everything else comprised in the
millinery and fancy goods line, are such as
will induce everyone visiting the place to
purchase something.

What They'll Never, Never Do.

When delivering his decision on the de-

Powers dwelt Mt length upon the charac-
ter OF scandalous articles recently pub
lished by some of the papers OF Utah, and
added wish that the entire press OF the
Territory would change its style. In
stead OF the violent, partisan publca-
tons OF the day, he hoped for calm dis
cussions of public questions. 1t the
present fiery and inflammatory character
of journalism is continued, it would lead
to great harm to Utah and finally cause
the public to distrust the newspapers OF
the Territory. His remarks were quite
extended and showed great earnestness
on the Judges part-Olden Nems.

THE GRAND JURY's WORK.
A synopsis of the Inquisitors La
bors During the september Term.

The report of the September term sub
mitted to Hon. Chas. s. Zane by the re-
firing Grand Jury last Saturday, shows
an immense amount OF work performed
by that energetic body since the l4th OF
last September. seventy-nine cases I'M
der the United States laws were invests
gated and indictments found in sixty
eight of them. Seven cases were ignored
and five were left unfinished, in anticipa-
ton of further evidence.
Under the Territorial laws sixty-one
cases were investigated, in forty-two OF
which indictments were found. Four
teen were ignored and four were left un-
finished, awaiting further evidence.
During the above investigations over
$50 witnesses were examined, great
many OF whom were opposed to giving
evidence and were thought to perjure
themselves before the Grand Jury.
Nuisances about the city were in
spected and referred to Marshal Phillips,
who stated that he intended to commence
cleaning up the city. q,
The city jail was found to be neat and
clean. The county jail, in the basement
of the county court house, was found to
be foul and unhealthy, and entirely UNI
fit for the confinement OF prisoners. The
houses of ill-iame were thoroughly IN
vestigated, and the Justice of the Police
Court, the City Marshal, the entire. police
force and other persons summoned were
unable to furnish evidence SUI
ficient to indict. Indictments were
found against Mrs. Fields and Fanny
Davenport for keeping houses OF ill-fame,
and Marshal Phillips said he would see
that evidence sufficient to indict the
keepers of the other houses was furnished
the Grand Jury for the next term, il de-
sired. In reference to the pressing o.
L. and l.. prosecutions by Justice
Speirs, the Grand Jury thought
it but revenge and malice, rs no goot
could result thereby, so long as the case
were barred from the District Court, and
that such proceedings on the part of the
lower Court should cease and no longer
be permitted to masquerade under the
form of law.
The Grand Jury referred to the sour
rilous abuse INDUCED in by certain o
the newspapers of the city opposed t.
the enforcement of the laws, which
should ever after be n lesson to the
organs alluded to.

ACTIVITY IN BIG COTTONWOOD.
Wore Wen For the silver Mountain
idle Miners In Utah.

The foreman of the Silver Mountain
mine in Big Cottonwood, sent word to
Bamberger Bros. yesterday that the mine
was making an excellent showing, and
four more men were wanted Immediately
to push the work actively. Accordingly
an outfit of blankets and general supplies
were piled out on the sidewalk in front of
the store this morning, and the four Sc
lected men were prepared to travel. The
sight of miners outfit to be used this
time of the year, attracted an army OF
oJd-time wielders OF the pick in search of
winters job. just now there are atleast
500 idle miners and day laborers to be
seen on the streets of Salt Lake and about
the court rooms, out of employment.
Butte City, Montana, is said to now
contain one thousand idle miners in
search of employment, and quite few OF
them are unluckily coming to Utah,
where large floating population already
exists. inst what this large force OF idle
men is going to do between now and the
opening of the mines in the spring is
somewhat OF serious question.
