on her cheek, Jordan asked her if she
knew him. She answered. no. He
then revealed to her that he was Jor-
dan Croker and she was his wife. A
scrutinizing look confirmed his words.
She swooned and fell. When conscious
ness returned there was one long, loud
outwail of grief and despair, There she
was, cruelty wronged, deceived, be-
trayed, dishonored, living in uncons-
cious adultery with an incarnate fiend,
to whom she had borne eight children,
the oldest Of whom was a bright and
lovely girl, an exact reproduction of
herself. Explanations followed which
brought out the awful atrocities of
Lindslay's deceptions, falsehoods and
perfdies.
Lindsay returned to find his
home in ruins, his children in dis
grace and grief, his wife a fit subject
for the madhouse, his outraged brother
to confront for his measureless wrongs,
and indignant neighbors to lynch him
for his fendish crimes. He fled from
the terrors of the scene like the
startled deer from its pursuers. A
luxurious home dismantled, a family
of children, part of whom were too
young to understand the sad misfor-
tune and the rest bound in unuttera-
bic grief and despair, sheltered in the
homes ofstrangers, the criminal gone
God only knows where. One victim
mingling her walls with the horrid
jingle Of clanking chains as she tears at
the bars that shut her out from the
world, the other drifting aimlessly,
hither and thither, wherever a crazed
fancy may suggest hiding place
from trouble or finding peace and rest
at last in the unvexed slumber of the
grave, these are the sequel Of the tragic
story.

The Horrible Assault Made by
Gideon S. McCune.
BEAsTLY ATTEMPT AT RAPE
His Intended Victim Was Little Child of thu
Tender Age of Nine
Years.

A terrible attempt to rape was reported
at the police station yesterday afternoon.
From the statements made by various
parties it seems that Gideon S. McCune, a
carpenter about fifty years of age, has been
boarding for some time with Mrs. Hobbs,
who resides on Ninth East str eet, near
Tenth South. Mrs. Hobbs next door
neighbor is Kate Cowley, who has daugh-
ter Minnie. aged nine years. McCune, it
appears, had been in the habit of calling at
Mrs. Cowley's, and had the run of the
place. At about o'clock yesterday Mrs.
Cowley went over to Mrs Hobbs house to
assist in some sewing, and McCune then
went to the house of the former where the
little girl was alone. According to
the latter's statement, McCune chased her
about the place until he caught her, when
he made the assault. Sergeant Glen went
down and arrested McCune, while the girl
was brought to the police station by her
aunt and examined by physicians, and the
examination bore out her statement. Nc
Cune will probably have hearing to-day
in the police court.

ON TO DEEP CREEK
Preparing to Haul in Ore From

An Accident to Couple Of Ladies That May
Yet Prove Quite Serious, Prob
ably Fatal

A fine outfit for teaming was at New
toms shop being prepared to haul the Deep
Greek ore into the smelter Those inter
ested in that district from here seem quite
confident that big thing is in store.
Last evening most serious accident
happened to Mrs. Mary Smith and Miss
Phillips; with the former it may prove
fatal. 1t seems the ladies were driving
along the State road in cart, when a dog
ran out from its house and bit the horses
heels. The animal took fright and, either
by means of speed or kicking, threw the
occupants from the cart, and in case of one
at least must have dragged her fog some
distance. 1t was not until late to-day that
she regained consciousness and is now pro-
nounced by the doctor to be very low It
is said that one of her ears was torn from
her head, and not found until to-day. Miss
Phillips, though hurt was not dangerously
injured. Mrs. Smith is q wife of Warren
b. Smith, now serving q term in the peni
Tertiary. She has number of young
children, among whom has been quite 3

In RAILWAY CIRCLES
A Rumor that Passenger Agent

HEAVY TRAVEL TO THE COAST
The %" Switehmen on a Strike in Omaha
burlington Quincy's Annual Report
General News of the Rail,

There was somewhat of breeze in rail .
way circles yesterday when it was an
nounced soto Uoce, that ]. H Bennett, gen.
eral passenger agent Of the Rio Grande
Western, would soon sever his connection
with the road. 1t was late in the day when
the rumor reached the ears of the railroad
scribe, and none of the Western officials
could be seen, so the rumor was neither de-
MED nor affirmed by them. In other quar-
tiers and among railway men generally who
were approached, there appeared to be an
idea that there were some grounds for the
rumor, and it was stated that it had been
an open secret for some time that all was
not peace and harmony among the Rio
Grande officials in this city. Auditor
Geddes and Agent Bennett having been at
outs for number of months, while the
new superintendent and Mr.. Bennett never
have been able to see eye to eye. OF course,
such state OF affairs is not conducive to
the best interests OF the road, and it has
been predicted for some time that change
of some kind was one of the inevitables 1t
is also learned that the matter of issuing
transportation has been transferred from
Mr.. Bennett to Mr.. Welby; by whose
authority or why has not yet been divulged.
So the matter stands. There are those
who are satisfied the change is to be made
by the retirement Of Mr.. Bennett; on the
other hand, there are those who assert that
more than one will 90.
MIR. Bennett it is understood, will
arrive here from the east on Satur-
day or Sunday next and then, If
not before, the rumors at present agitsting
certain questions will be either dispelled or
affirmed.

START FOR DENVER
The County Building Committee
on a Junketing Tour.
VIII Inspect the New Court House and
Other Public and Private
Buildings.

The county building committee leave this
morning for Denver to inspect the new
court house and other public buildings with
view to getting pointers as to the kind of
building that will meet the requirements
OF Salt Lake county.
1t is limited that they have several press
ing invitations from outside architects and
contractors, and when once away from
home they will be cared for and can live on
the top of the heap without going very deep
into their own pockets.
Architect Myers, who built the Denver
court mouse, the Texas state house, and a
court house in Illinois that has been laud ed
to the skies for its striking architectural
effects, Is said to be awaiting their arrival
and will 'lay himself OUT in making it
pleasant for the junketing committee.
1t Is not often that the committee take s
an outing" and they should not be de-
MED little recreation, even if they should
foot the bills out of the county treasury, as
their experience on public buildings so far
has not yet gotten them out of the "bi g
hole though they are now making an eff
tort to do the square" thing.
While abroad they can get acquainted
with the necessities of a great and grow
ing county at the other fellows expense,
and, what is more, the ''other fellow will
take delight in such pleasant fooling''
with business in his eye
The only objection to the junketing tour
is the danger of the committee getting
stuck on some of the STACY" new places
they will see, and in this way reproduce in
Salt Lake duplicate of some stereotyped
building, when the new hyphenated build :
ing should be design as original and un
like all other structures as the tabernacle
and great temple.
The new building should be original. if
anything, and the benefit of monkeying
after base limitations will not appeal very
strongly to the people of this city.
Duplicates should be ruled out. Let
others initiate. Salt Lakes public build.
ings should be original from the ground
up. The best way to secure this is to
advertise for original designs with liberal
prizes for the seccessful competitor.
