DEAD In A DITCH
The Body of G.. NJ. Bergstrom
Found Near Brigham City.
A SMOOTH YOUNG MANS WORK
Little Joe Gasberg May Die-Dagoes Disappear
La Grippe at acknowledgements
Being Made-Personal and General.

The dead body Of c. M. Bergstrom has
just been discovered lying in ditch about
mile from town, scratched and torn and
covered with blood. No foul play is sus
pected, as deceased was given lately to in
ebriety. The ipquisition is now in progress
and from the evidence it appears that the
deceased was last seen alive this morning,
walking in the direction where his body
was discovered, and the cuts are perhaps
the effects of attempting to cross a barb
wire fence while in a partially Intoxicated
state, near where he was found, and the
verdict Of the jury will probably be to this
effect.
A SLICK YOUNG FRAUD.
The school of experience they say is an
expensive one, but the little class, composed
of trio Of our business men paid only a
tritle for the lesson they learned to-day in
that department of education. The instruc-
ton cane about in this way. Some weeks
ago a very ordinary looking, light com
plexioned individual, with smooth tongue
and a business air, introduced himself
among US as A. Mitchell, special solicitor
for 1.-THE Fidelity Collecting Agency of
Ogden" prepared not only to undertake
the collection of musty and desperate &C
counts, but also to collect them. He soon
worked his way into the graces and conf
dence Of our most lively merchant and was
introduced, bowed around, recommended,
driven to contiguous towns, expenses pre-
paid and treated generally in that loyal
manner in which one business man
treats another. Some say confidence is a
plant of slow growth. Not so in this case,
| our wight was instructed with notes, &C
counts, statements, bills, was loaned money,
appeared to drive thriving business and
felt no doubt that he had fallen anon &
| kindred spirits; he was seen to frequent
the saloons ana others began to feel 80 too.
Suspicion led to inquiry, that to investiga-
ton, and soon the true inwardness of the
man came out. The road of fraud may be
very crooked but may be also very short.
1t was so in this case. A S. loan matured
and was paid by check drawn on an
| Ogden bank. Another fell due and was
paid by another check drawn on a Local
bank Both checks were promptly re-
turned dishonored, emo funds" His fer
tile expedients failed him. His board I'M
paid, his obligations due, his quondan
friend accompanied him around to- day, but
he wore frown instead of smile. To
night he is in custody, charged with VIC
lating the city ordinances by obtaining
property under false pretenses, and sec
ond charge of the same nature is lodged
with the prosecuting attorney. Verify thu
way Of the transgressor is hard.

place.
There had been several robberies in
our pretty town, mostly in outlying and
lonely houses such as ours, and no
traces could be had of the thieves in
spite of the large rewards offered or of
the wise detectives sent from the adj
jacent city. The burglaries had all
been skillfully done, nothing being
taken except silver plate and jewels,
and in only one case was violence Of
fered.
AS l said before, I was 'head of the
house." and in consequence there was
little knowledge and no opposition to
the plans l used to carry out my crack
Drained scheme.
In a recess in our dining room stood a
large, old-fashioned iron safe which
opened with big brass key and which
contained considerable silverware and
jewelry. These carefully packed and
shipped to our jeweler in the city.
To take their place had sent out a
lot of snowy, plated stuff, which care
lessly displayed in full view of the win
dows as a tempting bait for the ex-
pected burglars.
In the cellar beneath the safe was
small, corner brick-walled room, with
two doors, and a narrow, outside win
dow. These I had filed with brick,
making the room strong and tight. In
front of the safe, just where one would
naturally stand in opening it, had a
square cut from the floor, beams and
all, and the hole neatly fitted with a
trap, such as is used in the theaters for
pantomimes. This cost me something,
for it was necessary to have a stage car
penter arrangeit.
In my bedchamber, directly overhead,
I had a peep-hole made in the floor,
through which could see the safe be-
low. Alongside of this hole was wire

which, when pulled, would unbolt the
trap and drop whoever was on it in the
dark and secure tomb beneath.
Then 1 bought a barrel of the cheap
est and stickiest molasses could find
and had it poured into a great wooden
box built on the cellar floor exactly
under the trap. I calculated that my
robbers, if ever they got in it, would be
so occupied in getting out that it would
give me plenty of time to call in the
help needed to complete their capture.
Every thing was ready at last, and, as
had moved so quietly in the matter,
was satisfied that no one outside or in
had any suspicious of what was up to.
In order to know when the robbers
came, 1, after every one had gone to
sleep, each night stretched thread

foot from the floor carrying the end, on
which was tied a wet towel, to stick

breakers would unknowingly snap the
thread while moving around in the
dark, and then, the wet rag falling on
my face, would arouse me.
For some weeks I anxiously waited
for my dreaded visitors to come. The
strain made me nervous and every call
ing tramp and peddler gave me shock.
Late one night, after had nearly de-
SPARED of being robbed, was alone in
the dining-room with my back to the
piazza window writing letter. Hap
pening to glance in the mirror of the
buffet opposite fancied I saw from the
reflection movement of the blinds
close behind me. Carelessly resting my
head on my hand and peering between
my fingers I could see plainly in the
glass 9 pais of sharp eyes watching me.
Ny robber was evidently taking prep
aratory observations.
