THAT CHARITY CASE.
Dozens of Good People Rush to
the Rescue.
Mrs. Graham and Her Children were not
Found-Why, will be Probably be
Developed Later On.

The HERALD yesterday contained an ap-
peal for aid for family said to have been
sadly in need of immediate assistance
The facts were reported by William Spies,
former employee of Grant Brothers, and
more recently engaged in some capacity at
the Hotel Cullen. The young man told his
narrowing tale of suffering with such
earnestness and candor that it was &C
cepted in good faith as an honest statement
of an extreme case of neglect, in which a
widow and seven small children were in
danger of dying of hunger unless relief
was forthcoming. The name and address
of this fit subject for charity was given as
Mrs. Maggie Graham, No. 406 | street"
In response to THE HERALD's plea there
was prompt and generous response from
dozen or more different persons, who
made it their first duty to visit this house
suffering and relieve their wants with
substantial donations. Provision houses
sent wagons loaded with supplies, coal deal
ers sent coal, and many women wendell
their way to find what was most needed and
took their purses along to offer such aid
The hills were covered with a caravan of
missionaries bent on the same mission. But
no such house nor family could be found,
anu dl IST d IL ulIlCSS S6dFCu Juey returned
to their homes and their business sadly
put out that their efforts proved
futile. The HERALD Office was be-
sieged for an explanation and
to satisfy these THE HERALD detailed re-
porter in search of the information The
city directory gives his residence at SOB
East First South street; he has since
moved to Fourth East street, but he could
not be found. 1t is now in order fer Mr.
Spies to call at THE HERALD office and ex
plain matters, or THE HERALD will have no
alternative except to set him down as an
imposter. Charity is too sacred to be trified
with and the efforts for it's relief too valu-
able to be misspent, as long as there is suf-
ferinR in the land.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1891-02-22

especially in this city, as surrounding Salt
Lake we have so much sand and cobble
stones to drive over that
THE TIRES BECOME ROUND

through asphalt. These ruts fill up with

is laid the next thing required is to sweep

"The property owners object to paying
for condults on Main street and the State
road, and 1T does not appear fair to tax
them for conduits used for carrying irriga
ton water to the south, as it can be con-
veyed around the business portion, only
allowing small portion of it to pass
through Main street. do not see why the
business portion of the city should be taxed
to carry for that which it has no use: other
parts of the city receiving the entire ben
eht. The expense to property owners for
the conduits would be about IS. 50 per lin
ear foot, which is altogether unnecessary,
o. there are no shade trees in the business
part.

cerned IN the paving question is to secure

what | know. 1 know there is a world of
ore down there as we had a prospector in
Deep Creek before the road was contem-
plated. The ore, as l understand it, is
rather low grade. The road will not only
open up new mining camp but will de-
velop great agricultural country. AS far
az Bacon is concerned | believe the city
should give him all the assistance it can.
Major Erb-As d rule | am not in favor
OF giving these squares away. That part of
the city where the Old Fort square is 10
Gated, however, is already given up to the
railroads and it will never make much of a
park in any event. For these reasons l am
in favor of accepting Mr.. Bacon's PROPOSE
ton and expanding the $50, 600 in improving
the Eighth ward square, which is well To-
Gated. The road would be big thing for
the city, and Mr.. Bacon asks for very little.
think he ought to get it.
Judge Colborn-It seems to me that there
is every reason why the proposition should
be accepted. In the first place Mr.. Bacon
offers TO give all the square is really worth
and then build the road. The city needs
the road badly, and l cannot see that it
needs this particular square. We should
certainly give an enterprise of this import
ance, and which will result in so much
benefit to the city, the slight encourage
ment asked.
A. ]. White-I think it will be a mistake
not to grant the petition. They say there
are two sides to every question, but don't
see but one to.this.
President Lett, CT the real estate ex-
change, thought Mr.. Bacon had offered all
the square was worth. He thought the
offer should be accepted.

THE OLD FORT BLOCK
Those Who Favor the Bacon
Proposition.
Some Say the Request is "a Very Modest" One
That Part Of the City Given Over to
Railways Already.

The proposition made by ]. H. Bacon to
for the transfer to him of the Old Fort
square as depot grounds for the Deep
Creek railroad upon several conditions,
among them that he pay the city Sl5O,OOO,
is a subject of earnest discussion in bust
ness circles. a HERALD reporter yester-
day obtained the opinions of a number of
business men on the proposition.
President Stout, OF the Utah CONNER
cial bank, said-I would like to see the rail
road project carried out, as it would be a
good thing for the city. If any agreements
are made, hope they will be of the most
definite character, so that there can be no
Sinking or delay on either side.
Postmaster Benton-Of course l want to
see Mr.. Bacon's petition granted. Why, in
the first place, nearly everyone was in
favor of giving the square on condition
that the road should be built. Now Mr.
Bacon comes IN with an offer of S150,000
for the square, and the city isn't taking
the slightest risk, as Mr.. Bacon doesn't
get the property until he has built the
road. | don't see why there should be any
question about the ACCESSIBILITY of accept
ing the offer. Salt Lake needs the Deep
square, and besides the city will get $15O,-
600 cold cash. This proposition is. a much
better one for the city than the first, and
hope to see it accepted without delay.
Secretary Sells-I was in favor of ac-
ceptipg Mr.. Bacon's first proposition. This
second offer is a much better one than that,
and of course want to see 1T go through.
H Bamberger-Large enterprises, such
as this is, are encouraged all over the coun-
off how axynu bod hatta
proposition made than this of Mir. Bacon's.
1t should be accepted. The offer is d def
mite one, and the city would be taking no
risk in accepting it. 1t seems to me that
every one who has The welfare OF the city
at heart must be in favor OF encouraging
Mr.. Bacon to the limited extent he asks.
Union Ticket Agent Hedges-l have no
doubt at all but that the proposition viii go
through all right. 1t is such one as any
CITY in the United States would be glad TO
accept and it will be accepted mere.
C.. ID. St. George-Mr. Bacon asks very
little. and l think it should be granted to
him without delay. That Deep Creek road
means a great deal for Salt Lake, and il
would be worse than folly not TO accept this
offer.
F. e. McGurrin-The city ought to be
willing to give the square for nothing to
secure the building of the road TO Deep
Greek. | cannot see what objection there
can be to accepting the proposition. L
regard it as generous one and it ought to
be granted Most cities would be glad to
give good big BONUS for such road. In
| this case the road will be built and the city
will get full value for the property to be
used as depot grounds.

opinion, it cost me a good deal TO md out

THE MOST ATROCIOUS
Fiend Fitzpatrick Held on the
Charge OF Rape.
The Crime One of the Most Brutal and Afro
cious in the Annals Of Justice
i'll the West.

David Fitzpatrick, the fiend who was ar
rested few nights ago for assaulting and
outraging Mrs. Annie Hansen, aged
seventy eight years, at the Cactus saloon,
on South Temple street. had preliminary
hearing before Judge Laney yesterday.
The details of the horrible affair are too re-
voting for publication, but tho evidence
showed that the crime was one of the most
brutal and atrocous ever committed here.
Judge Laney held the brute to await the
action OF the grand jury and fixed his
bonds at $4,000. 1t is needless to say that
the defendant was unable TO find sureties.
The 50 DRINKS were Joe Armstrong and
j. Sinner.
]. w Bowdell was fined $40 for assault
and battery.
William Shinder was assessed $50 for dis
turbing the peace and quiet of Commercial
street on Friday night.
Tom Maloney was sent up for ten DAYS
for committing nuisance.

COYOTE DICK.
His Marriage Brings Him a Peel
Of Trouble.
His Bride Says She is Nineteen, While Her
Brother Stoutly Insists that She is Not
Even Sweet Sixteen.

Richard Edwards, hickman, who is
better known as Coyote Dick" was ar
rested yesterday on the charge of fornica-
ton.
1t seems that short time ago Dick
welded girl named Mary Knox. and the
two have since lived together as husband
and wife. Yesterday morning the brides
brother appeared at Captain Greenman's
office and stated that his sister was not six
teen years of age. This being true Ed
wards could not legally marry the girl
without the consent of her parents or
guardian, which was not given.
Edwards was taken before Commissioner
Greenman, who set the examination for
Wednesday next and the defendant was
released upon giving bond in the sum of
$1,000 TO secure his appearance.
Edwards says the girl told him she was
10 years old, and he believed she told the
truth.

THE LUMBER DEALERS,
They Form an Association for Mutual Protec-
ton Against Bad Debts-Other Objects.

The lumber dealers of this city, compris
ing the leading yards of the city, organized
themselves into an exchange, under the
name OF the Lumber Dealers association
OF Salt Lake city, July l, 1890, for the pur-
pose of self-protection and the protection
OF the reliable contractor for its object;
how well it has succeeded let the con
tractor say. Among other items of inter-
est to the lumber dealer, is an official list
OF contractors, on which appears only the
names of those considered reliable, it be-
ing necessary for one or more members to
recommend the placing of such name, be-
fore it is allowed to pass. The organiza-
ton would indeed be incomplete without a
list Of good, slow and bad customers,
which is not confined to contractors, but
to the consumers generally, each member
being supplied with complete list by the
secretary, which is supplemented from
time to time, thereby keeping full list be-
fore the members. The organization is
presided over by a president, the present
officers being H. P. Mason, president; S.
