BURGLARYANDARS0N
A Narrow Escape From a Big
Fire at American Fork.
DISCOVERED IN THE NICK OF TIME
The Salt Lake Toughs Getting in Their Work
on Outside T0wns-Happen-
1ngs at Heber.

Alfred Dunkley's store at American
Fork had very narrow escape from big
fire few nights ago. When the proprie-
tor went to open up in the morning he
found two lights of glass and the inter
vening sash broken from his front door.
This gave room for an ordinary man to
pass through without difficulty. Inside
was the smell of fire, and investigation de-
veloped facts which prove that the store
was prey to some burglar. The show
cases and clothing department seem to
have received most attention, after no
money could be found, and thus far one
adults suit and one boys suit of clothes,
with some flannel shirts and iewelry, have
been missing. The ashes of several
cotton shirts were found on the floor just
under the water tank aud the floor was
still on fire beneath. Not the slightest
draft was afforded or no doubt the entire
building, with three or four immediate
neighbors, would have been in ashes before
morning 1t is supposed the burglar had a
candle which be proppei up by means of
these shirts and that the shirss took ire
accidentally. la his hurry perhaps the in
trGder dropped them under the tank and
dropped water on them, but not sufficient
to eXinguish all the ire. The fire kept on
smouldering till S o'clock a. m, when 1t was
found TO have eaten hole ABOUT six
inches in diameter through the floor,
and was slowly gaining ground.
There was not the slightest draft from
beneath and the broken window being in
another room gave rise TO no circulation
above. There issas yet no clue upon which
any certainty can be built, but some sus-
picion rests on a certain party whose pres
ence demanded attention, Friday and
Saturday about the burglarized store, but
whose whereabouts now is unknown.

Mills. On his return to America he began
an investigation and learned that the old
lady in New York had sister who years
ago established thread factory at Mills
Row. The evidence was conclusively es-
tablished and the attorney made another
trip to England, where some of the most
able members of the bar were engaged to
work on the case part of the money re-
covered to be accepted as compensation for
their labors.
The fortune had accumulated to almost a
fabulous sum and when the claim was pre-
sented the government offered to settle by
paying the heirs 100000 sterling or nearly
two and one half million dollars, bat the
offer was refused. Advices from the New
York attorney, who is now in England,
were received by the heir in this city few
days stating that the prospects for secur-
ing the entire amount were very fiat
tering.
The fortune amounts to SIC, 900, 900 or more
which will give the Salt Lake heir at least
Sl4, 100000 for his share. The name of the
fortunate man is H Nichols, who is well
and favorably known in this city and also
in many other western as well as eastern
towns.
The estate which he inherits is we'll
known over the entire civilized world, it
being the celebrated factories where is
made Clarks O. n. Z. thread.

The Salt Laker Whose Prospects are Very
Bright.

The Salt Laker Whose Prospects are Very
Bright.
The resources of Salt Lake are untold.
The latest discovery that has been made is
along lost millionaire. A rather romantic
story has just come to light in the discov-
cry that Salt Lake man is an heir to mil
lions of English money. A reporter on
making an investigation of the rumor
learned the following interesting facts in
connection with the case.
More than two generations ago an old
lady named Mills had a small thread fac
tory at Mills Row, London, and in the
course of time she died, leaving no heirs
but brother who was in the East Indies
and younger sister who had emigrated
10 America and settled in what was then
the wilds of New York. On the death of
the proprietress of the thread factory. the
authorities advertised for the heirs and
finally learned that the brother haa died of
fever in the East Indies, but no trace of
the sister could be found. No heirs being
found the estate passed into the courts of
Chancery and man named Clark was
placed in charge. The factory grew to gil
gantic proportions under his management
and became worth millions A New York
attorney, few years ago, while in Eng
land, learned the particulars in the case
and CHANGED to know and old lady in New
York whose maiden name was Elizabeth

A NOTEWORTHY EXCEPTION.

From the Kimbau IS. Do Graphic.
While the columns of the Graphic are
open to any and all unobjectionable adver-
tisements, yet it is quite impossible for us
to speak knowingly of the merits of the
various articles of merchandise advertised.
Particularly is this true of patent medi-
cines. But there are exceptions occasionally,
and noteworthy exception is the cele-
brated Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
This now universally known medicine
has been advertised in the Graphic for
four or five years but not until recently
had we any personal knowledge of its Won
derful efficacy which has come about
through the prevailing influenza and the
stubborn cough that has so often attended
it. In the writer's family this medicine
has on several occasions this wIuter cured
a cough that baffied any and al other
remedies; and the number of families in
kimball and vicinity, in which this remedy
has been used with like effects, attestS to
its value as a specific for coughs and colds
of every nature. For sale by Z. c. NJ. l.

William Gilpin believes there is no serious

parent difficulty is in crossing Behring
strait, but this difficulty is only apparent
The strait is only forty miles wide and on
the middle lies an island about, big enough
to hold New York, Brooklyn and Jersey

more than forty feet deep and there will

to-day secured Justice O'Brien's signature
to perpetual Injunction against the Cen
trail Trust company, c. P Huntington and
others, restraining them from issuing the
stock of the Houston & Texas Central on
the ground that the trust company
had not made the proposed assess
ment of 13 per cent. as required bv the
plan OF reorganization. In reference
the new assessment of 81. 40 a share de-
clared on Thurs lay by the trust company.
lfttenhaefer said the reduction of $3.50 was
lar from satisfactory TO his clients. 1t
mad, he said, been fixed upon the same cal
culatlons as the first assessment, the differ
ence being due to the addition of interest
and the reduction of earnings in the hand
OF receivers, but it would be difficult to see
now the trust company could have made
any other assessment without acknowledg-
ing IT had committed IA gross wrong on the
stockholders in making the first assess
ment
