Out His Tongue.
Los ANGELES, CAL. Feb. 18.-One Of
the greatest mysteries of this city has
been that of the tongueless man, which
has just been solved. Last November
. prlestly looking man hired room
at the lodging house at the corner Of
Fifth and Broadway. One morning he
Wns found in his room, blood issuiug
from his mouth and : bloody razor IN
hle h6nd. On examination II MAS found
that he had cut out his tongue with .
razor. Bloody tracks to the door out
IN the hall and the bathroom indicated
that he had been there. Search showed
that he had thrown his tongue down =
drain pipo. After his wound healed he
disappeared. He was thought to have
been : Catholic priest. II now turns
ont that his name is George Wilson.
He goes garbed as q priest. but he is .
professional gambler. His family II
wealthy and live in New York. His
father has just died. and left an estate
Of $50, coo, Sc. 900 of which was left
20 him. The estate cannot be settled
mp until George has been found and
detectives from New York are now IN
the city looking for him. They state
that George has been the black sheep
of the family. This statement sug-
gcsted that the mans act of cutting
out bis tongue was prompted BY re-
morse.

born in Salt Lake city and is the wife of
Hon. Franklin S. Richards, who has been
an ardent advocate of the cause ofthe peo-
pie of Utah. Accompanying her husband
on numerous trips to the national capital,
she met many distinguished people and
received advanced ideas from the great
minds of some of the most noted ladies in
the land. From her youth she has been
conspicuously identified with benevolent
societies. and such as tend to promote the
interests and education of women. She
has been a member of the board of direc-
tors of the Orphans Home for five years
and is still acting in that capacity. She
was member OF the great international

worker in that organization. In the in
terests of the board she has visited differ
ent sections of the territory and urged
upon the women of Utah the necessity of
their taking an active part in making a
commendable exhibit at the great EXPOSE
ton. This estimable lady was born at
PAMELA, Jefferson county, N. Y, Jan.
81, 1923. She lived in Nauvoo, ILL.,, from
1S41 to 1916. She lett that part of the
country at the time of the general exodus
of her people. Hernext place of residence
was Winter Quarters, now known as
Council Bluffs. Mrs. Richards performed
the arduous journey across the plains, by
team, to Salt Lake valley in 1913,
one year after the advance pioneers.
She resided in Salt Lake city
from that time until 1869, when
she removed to Ogden, where she has
ever since resided. She has taken a
prominent part in women S work and in
various benevolent enterprises and labors
during the greater portion of her life.
She was connected with relief societies in
Illinois before she came to Utah, and has
been associated with them from their first
establishment in this territory. She was
member for eight years of the Deseret

Il. Kletting. Architect.

Mr.. r. Kletting whose name Is so syn
onymous with all the beautiful and archi-
tectural features OF the city and whose
scientific ability and skill has so identified
itself with the most prominent building
enterprises here. 1t is only due to him
who has left such stamp OF his ar
Jistic taste in our streets, that this brief
and grateful tribute should find place in
our edition which attempts to repre-
sent the advance this city and territory
has made. Few can be found, no mat
ter in what branch or profession
who has 50, as it q were, given
to his works such a charm as Mr.. Kletting.
His taste is so diversified that no one de-
sign seems to father the other, yet in all
there is q harmony and good taste that
makes him sought after by all DESTROYS of
the substantial as we'll as the beautiful in
design. Space will not permit us to give
but brief mention of his designs.
In Utah county we have at Springville the
bank building, the public schoolhouse,
H. 7. Reynolds store and others; at
Lehi, the public school building, and
lastly Salt Lake, the Brigham Young
Trust Company building on Commercial
street, Spencer Clawson's store building
on Main street, II. DinWoodey's resi-
dence on First South street, the Eleventh,
Twentieth and Nineteenth school build
ing, Smell and Davis residences and
many others. He is now engaged to
prepare plans for the Salt air resort.
All OF which stand IS lasting monuments
to his ability. His name in the coming
year connected as it will be with one or
two fine architectural features, permits
sion is denied to US to give at this time
publicity. We can only say that it is
needless for us to enlarge further on this
subject, as his works only too well justify
what we would say.
