MILITARY MATTERS.
General PenrOse's Absence on Sick
Leave Extended.
Arrangements Being Made for Decoration
Day-No Change of Troops Probable
Miss Jocelyn's Visit to Portland.

Lieutenant Eltonhead, of the Twenty
first, returned yesterday from Fort
Brldger.
Miss Jocelyn left yesterday for trip to
Portland and Seattle. After that she will
return to her home in Boston.
Fort Douglas has now an excellent base
ball club and would not object to having q
tilt with the best that travels.
Arrangements are being made to receive
the Grand Army veterans and the veterans
OF the war Decoration day, May 80.
We do not hear anything in regard to the
change of troops, and it is now more than
probable that no change will be made here
this year.
Fort Douglas appears to be favorit e
resort for the people Of Salt Lake on Sun
day afternoon. The Salt Lake electric
road is equal to the emergency, and well
able to handle the large crowds that pat
ronize the road on that day.
Lieutenant Styer, of the Twenty first,
goes to the Fort Leavenwort school for
two years from September 1, next. One
lieutenant is detailed from each infantry
and cavalry regiment-every two years for
study and practice at the school, The
school for the artillery branch of the SER
vice is at Fortress Monroe, Va.
All the companies and their officers have
been hard at work on the target grounds
during the month OF May, firing at what is
called known distances. Next month the
skirmish, volley firing, and runs come in.
Lieutenant Thurston, the target or range
officer, has everything in complete order,
and under his personal supervision the
work goes smoothly along.
General Penrose of the Sixteenth. has
two months extension to his sick leave and
will not probably return ere August.

ARCHITECTS ARE HOT
CHARGE That the Committee Gives
Them a Very Icy Hearing.
NO THANKS FOR THEIR PAINS
Their Proudest Efforts Pitched Out In the
Cold As So Much Waste
Paper.
NO THANKS FOR THEIR PAIN

The architects who entered into the COM
petition for the new city and county build
ing are very dissatisfied set and are open
in their complaints.
They are fine body of men, and many of
them stand at the head of their profession
in the leading cities of the country They
were invited to make plans, and many of
them went to great expense. spending their
time and bringing to the feet of the COM
mittee the results of lifetime of patient
and intelligent application.
The expense of getting out set of plans
such as the committee demanded amounted
to hundreds Of dollars, and when. to this is
added railroad fares, hotel and other ex-
penses, it can be seen the outlay was no in
considerable sum.
After going TO all this expense and fur
nishing plans, all of which had merit they
courteously, rather than with an austere
and chilly manner. 3-
Some Of them were dismissed without
even the thanks of the committee. While
everybody believes the committee is doing
its best, according to Its lights, it does,
however, seem that their integrity would
not at all be questioned If they would warm
up little toward the architects and make
1t good.natured contest where the best
man would win. 1t is damper enough for
an architect to get left on his plans without
being otherwise frozen up.
The architects should be made to feel
that they are welcome, and that their visit
to Salt Lake was pleasant, if not profitable.

A Bic Jail Break.

About o'clock yesterday morning nine
prisoners who were serving terms for petit
larceny escaped from the city Jail. They
had evidently made ali necessary prepare
tons, and by the hour named had sawed off
three of the ircl window bars, using in
their work saws made from table knives.
1t is the custom of the iailer to send half
OF the prisoners out each day on the chain
gang, and keep the balance in the cooler.
The men who escaped had been kept in dur
ing thursday, and with the help of some
one on the outside, unattached all connecting
doors of the cells. When the proper time
came they all got down TO work and soon
had the bars out. In descending from the
upper windows blankets and boards were
used, making the descent comparatively
easy. The terms of nearly all of the es
capped was within few days of completion.
so that probably after all the city will gain
by the break.
The list of the worthless who have de-
departed to make life miserable for some
one is as follows:
Ed. Heath the man vino committed such
brutal assault on Mr.. Reading, the florist.
John Jordon, arrested for stealing a key
of beer
Sim Miller, given fifteen days for getting
something TO take" into the Jail.
Tip Reynolds and Albert Collins, well
known sneak thieves
James Wilde, John Rice Joe Thompson
and one other doing time for petty larceny.

THE CRICKET MATCH,
The Salt Lakers Wipe the Earth With the
Ogden Boys.

The Salt Lakers Wipe the Earth With the
Ogden Boys.
The Salt Lake cricket club went to Ogden
Friday last to meet the club of that CITY.
The game was played at Lester Park and
was started shortly after II o'clock,
the home team going to the wickets first,
and, owing chiefly to the good all round
fielding of the visitors, were disposed of of
81 runs. The Salt Lakes then went in and
were not got rid of until they had made the
respectable score of SO, the chief scorers
being p. Briscoe Is, J. II. Back 10. r.
Wheeler IL. On going in a second time.
Ogden did little better making 81. +
Stitt and A. Smurthwaite doing most of the
scoring, making IL and 16 respectively.
Salt Lake then required but q to win, and
sending in Back and A. Brown wiped off
16 before being separated: The next
wicket was quickly broken. j. Robinson
then went in, and before the two were
separated had won the match for Salt AXE.
Owing to some misunderstanding the game
was continued. and on another wicket
falling, stumps were drawn. The Salt
Lakers were thus victorious by no less
than wickets and runs. Following is
the score:

The Third District Court.

Business in the third district court yes
terday morning, Judge Zane on the bench,
was not very rushing and the few specta-
tors present were but poorly repaid for
their trouble
One of the first cases called was that of
Elizabeth Bunker VS.. Elizabeth Brunker
Judge Judd for the plaintiff and Judge
Marshal for the defendant. The action
was brought by the plaintiff to obtain a
decree in the matter of the title to certain
piece Of property in block 6, this city. It
seems from the original complaint that the
two hngants are the plural wife and the
legal wife OF Thomas Brunker and for
gthirty-four years the two families
have resided in Salt Lake CITY.
The plaintiff claims that during
the period of her residence hers
she has held the property in dispute, paid
the taxes thereon and incurred all neces
sary expenses in the keeping in order of
the place. That her husband, Thomss
Bunker, instead of supporting her and the
family did exactly the opposite ard was
supported by them. In the year 1855
through means of whisky and other intoxi
eating drinks he succeeded in getting the
plaintiff in such a condition that she was
unable to reason and on his advice sign ed a
deed conveying the property now in dis
pubo " nlH. Ouflng MS ll1etlme Bunker
never claimed the homestead but allowed
the plaintiff to reside there the same as
usual. Upon the death of her husband.
which occurred several years ago, the de-
PENDANT claimed by reason Of the deed al
ready referred tc, the plaintiffs property
and took possession. Therefore the latter
prayed for a decree clearing the title to the
land. The defendant in her answer al
legged that the deed was conveyed bv the
plaintiff TO Thomas Rruuker voluntariIv
and without force or the use of intoxicants
After the reading of the complaint and
answer Judge Marshal moved that the
7 name Of Henry Brunker, administrator he
substituted for that of Elizabeth Bunker
the Defendant, the latter having
died on January 9st last. .Tudre
Judd stated that the death eff
Mrs. Brunker was news to him. and asked
If she had left any heirs. 1t was ascer-
tanned that there are three heirs of age and
several minors. This being the case. Judge
Judd declined 20 make the substitution
claiming that decree obtained through the
administrator would be worthless. judge
Marshall cited several California cases To
show that administrators had been made
defendants, and DEGREES obtained which
stood under the decision of the supreme
court of that state. His honor decided that
it would be best to bring the heirs into
court and make them defendants. The
case was continued and an order entered
allowing the plaintiff to file an amended
complaint.
The plaintiff in the action is an old LADY.

GREAT FAILS PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

A very important question which
the people of Great Falls will soon b.
called upon to decide, will be that OF
again bonding the district for the pur-
pose of building more school houses.
There are many reasons why this ques-
ton should be thoroughly Understood
and canvassed. The present school fac
ilities are totally mad .quate to meet the
demand. There is not room except,
perhaps, about a halt u dozen seats in
the high school room, to seat another
pupil. consequently any who may come
here will be compelled to forego all
school privileges. Every other room is
filled TO its utmost capacity and all
teachers are instructing on an avrrag'
sixty pupils. which is twenty more than
any teacher should or can instruct
properly, below the high school grades
Under such circumstances judicious and
careful gradings and Promotions ar
impossible.
At the present outlook, the school pop
ulation will be by the time of opening
next year more thar doubled. Wat,
therefore, must be done? Simply this
provide school houses for them. Good
schools are certainly as much to the
interest of any city AS are its money-nak-
ing industries. Tue people of Great
Falls are alive to every monetary project
why should they not be in the making o1
good, intelligent ciuzens? A six-roon
build ng On the south side VIII only tid'
over the present difficulty, and ware
schoo hou~es ARE ii thing of only n Yea
or two.
Another problem is 10 be met. Tn
district is aiready bonded for $4,000, nnC
but two sets of bonds Can be tloated nj
one time. III view OF this, if bonds suf-
ticient only for one building to meet the
present demand are voted, II precludes
any possibility of further building till
Que set is taken up, which may he 10 OF
Is years. In the mean time What is L,
b. done? You cannot afford to try the
experiment. The TRIBUNE can See hui
WV Ways WV VI AN eiAhSAAys
present bonds can he called in, to issue
others for a sufficient amount, say 80,
000,t to cover those outstanding and to built
tor present needs, then when more are
needed another series can be raised. o.
lei the present Indebtedness stand as it il
and issue, or vote for the issuance Of
from $50, 900 to $4,000, as may be though
best to provide for future contingencies
This may look like an appalling amount
but If Great Falls bec,iles, as she bid
fair to become, the leading city ant
eventually the capital of Montana, he
enterprising citizens cannot afford t.
neglect her first and greatest need-th'
educational interest.
Every voter should study this problem
lntelligenlly and make it a matter OF per
soEai investigation, and when called up
on TO decide, lend his assistance to til
cause of education.
