First DISTRICT Cnnrt

The district court convened as usual
yesterday morning, and only two cases
called the attention of Judge Blackburn,
who occupied the bench.
The courtroom was filled with SPECTATORS
early in the morning who were anxious to
get a glimpse, and hear the trial of the
notorious Dick Rogers, alias William
Hardy. Rogers took in the situation with
his usual GOODNESS, he seemed not in the
least excited or worried over his trial.
he seemed to feel that he was to spend
lew years OF MS life-in the penitentary for
the awful crime he committed vet the
thoughts of it did not trouble him.
Rogers was convicted on the charge of
assault with intent to kill, committed upon
Mrs. q. A. Perschman, at the Hot Springs
last August. The tragedy happened in the
evening. For several hours Dick had been
drinking quite heavily and before the time
Tor the bathing train to return to
Ogden he was pretty well loaded with
bad whisky. He walked through the
cars hourishing a revolver and acted as if
he were hunting for someone TO snoot at
Finally he stepped off to the east side of
the train and fired two successive shots
into the rear coach, one shot taking effect

Belnap and others, went after him. The
chase was a long and tedious one. and
nearly three weeks had elapsed before the
officers succeeded in capturing the outlaw.
He was brought TO Ogden for safe keeping
and placed in the county jail, from which he
made the daring escape q few weeks ago.
lie was captured again after weeks hard
chase near Terrace, Utah. Rogers is merely
q boy, so to speak; he looks like lad OF
eighteen or nineteen years Of age, but every

be at large. Judge Blackburn took the
same view Of the case and sentenced him
TO six years imprisonment in the peniten-
tlary.

HOW TO WALK FAST.
Keep the Body Erect and Take Very Long
Strides Quickly.

Keep the Body Erect and Take Very Long
Strides Quickly.
From the London Society Times.
Persons who have never been trained to walk
fast generally quicken their gait by bending for
ward and lengthening the stride, at the same
time bending the knees very much at each STOP
1t is pretty safe to say that no one can possibly
adopt this style and keep fair walk at a faster
gait than six miles an hour. The fast walker
must keep himself erect, his shoulders back,
and chest thrown out. He must put his for
ward foot and heel first and with the leg
straight. de must take strides so quick that
they look short. He must If he expects to get
good stride, work his hips considerably, over
coming the sidewise tendency OF the hip move
ment by compensatory swinging of the arms.
The length of stride in fast walking is aston
ishing to those who look at it. A little figuring
Will make it clear why this is so. There are
l,76O yards in mile, or 1,760 strides three feet
long. To do a mile in eight minutes a walker
must cover 22O yards minute or II feet sec
ond. Now, 22O steps a minute-nearly four a
seconds pretty quick work, as any one may
discover for himself. Even three steps second,
or $50 to the minute, seems quick The chances
are that your eight-minute man, although his
legs move SO quickly that the steps seem short,
is not doing as many as 200 steps to the minute,
and consequently that the stride is at least feet
q inches. With little practice a man six feet
high can easily maintain four-foot stride for
half mile.

AFTER NEW IDEAS.
Building Inspector EntwistIe and Chief
Paris Got a Few in the North.

Building Inspector EntwistIe and Chief
Paris Got Few in the North.
Inspector of Buildings Entwistle has returned
from tour of inspection through Northern
cities, taken in company with Chief of the Fire
Department Paris In speaking of the results
OF this trip, Mr.. Entwisle said:
sour inspection covered the cities of Boston,
Hartford, and New York. It's object was
mainly to get ideas for use in the building of the
new Female Reform School the District is about
to erect, and also to examine the fire depart
ments of other Cities in the hope of getting some
suggestions of value. The result of the whole
trip was only to make us the better satisfied
with the existing state of things in Washington.
We found no fire department system superior
to ours, and the only point in which they really
differed from ours was found in Hartford, where
the fire engines were propelled by steam, with
out the aid of horses. We examined a number
OF prisons and reform schools in the hope of
getting seryiceable ideas, but could find no
prison superior to our new District Jail. The
Commissioners had wanted to have single cells
In the new Female Reformatory, but find that
this plan is nowhere successfully carried out.
Beyond that l do not know that we received
any suggestions which will meet with immediate
adoption In the District
