A GENEROUS COUNCIL.
Free Gift Distribution of sI3,5oo wortl
of Real Estate.

Free Gift Distribution of SI3, 800 Worth
of Real Estate.
eff you do not see what you want, ask
for it,
The city council should tack up the
above motto above President Loofbour-
owls chair, for there is not an instance on
record of a case where man wants any
thing but that he can get it-with the ex-
ception of the Los Angeles road.
One of the slickest Jobs engineered
through this body of bad traders was the
one which transferred S13, 500 worth OF
city ground to the lot owners on the east
side of the capitol grounds.
This present of ninety feet in depth to
each lot owner is something entirely
Utopian, and it is only a pity that The
city fathers have not enough land to pre-
sent a lot ninety feet in depth to every
man. woman and child in the city.
But the rule is to give to him who hath
and to take from him who hath not.
The S13 500 present which President
Loofbourow and his councilmen gave to
the capitol grounds lot owners of course
had a consideration.
The consideration this case, was an
agreemea Mt on the irt Of The lot owners
to grade their o. d grouncs. There was
a high bank orr dye of earth, on the bsC K
portion of these OTIS which it was to the
interest of these owners to remove before
building.
Fred Trimmer or l-snrv Harrison
both claim the credit OF originating the
scheme-conceiyed the idea that if they
went tc the city council and asked that
body TO give them ninety feet at the rear
of their lots, facing City Creek canyon,
for the purpose of filling in thisdirt,
they would do it. The lots facing the
capitol grounds on the east were origin
ally 200 feet in depth. The council by
ordinance extended them 80 feet into the
canyon, making their total depth 900
feet. These 200-foot lots were valued at
from 50, 900 to 50 600 each The extra 90
feet is worth 1900 to each lot with sc
feet frontage. There are nine lots in the
block, which makes total of S13, 500.

The Jury Sends the Old Man on His Way
Rejoicing.
The case of Sander Sanderson, the I'M
sophisticated and decrepit old man
charged with forgery, was resumed in the
Third district court yesterday morning
The facts in the case are substantially as
follows: On May 20, 1890. Sanderson sold
a certain piece OF property to Thomas A.
Olsen, who paid a portion OF the purchase
price in cash and gave two notes, secured
by mortgage on the property, for the
balance.
In September of the same year Sander
son borrowed some money from the Utah
National bank and assigned the notes and
mortgage to Joseph NJ. Stout, the presi-
dent OF the institution. as collateral. BY
April, 1891, Olsen had contracted to re-
convey the property to Sanderson, and as
there was a mortgage against it in favor
of Sanderson, the latter was re-
quired to pay taxes on both
the property and the mortgage.
(This according to Sanderson's evidence. J
Sanderson then went to see the collector
with reference to the matter and was adj
vised to cancel the mortgage, which he
did. In January, 1892. Olsen deeded the
property back to Sanderson and in Janu-
airy of the present year Sanderson con-
veyed the same to Mrs. Anderson. San
derson alleged that he notified Mr.. Stout
of the release of the mortgage at the time
while Stout AYERS that he never learn ed
of it until the bank sued Sanderson on
his notes. In this particular the evidence
was conflicting.
The case reached the jury shortly be-
fore o'clock yesterday afternoon and the
verdict of acquittal was returned within
fifteen minutes.

CrockwelI. The pictures comprise views
of all the beautiful and noted scenes
throughout Utah, and being arranged In
conspicuous sight in the Utah and other
buildings, will prove invaluable in adver-
Using the scenic attractions of the terri
tory. Among the collection are number
that are exceptionally fine, the view both
of the temple and the Eagle gate being
the best that have as yet been made, and
Utah people as well as strangers may be
excused for the admiration and covetous-
ness which the sight OF the artistic work
inspires.
Mr.. Crockwell is the state photographer
for Utah at the fair grounds, and besides
the pictures of home scenery will furnish
views both of the Utah building and the
various booths set aside in other places
for Utah exhibits, and the home people
can carry away no more appropriate nor
interesting souvenir of the exposition
than these Photographic presentations
of the showing made by Utah at the great
fair.
Mr.. Crockwell besides attending to
these official duties, finds time also to
attend to the interest and convenience OF
the Salt Lake people who visit Chicago in
the matter of securing desirable lodgings
for reasonable terms Ibis long stay in the
city making him acquainted with differ
emit localities and people who intend to
visit Chicago cannot do better than profit
by the aid his knowledge and experience
can give, especially as many OF the Utah
people who have engaged rooms here be-
fore coming without any actual know
ledge of the condition or surroundings OF
the places arranged Tor have in some
cases forfeited the money advanced rather
than to remain and endure the discom-
forts for the allotted time. It should be
one of the chief considerations OF people
70 fcff fol 10
knowledge of where they will first arrive
or stay, as the conviction will eventually
save great amount OF trouble and ex-
pense.
There are many places outside the ho-
| tells where one may obtain excellent room
| and board for reasonable terms, and peo-
| pie desiring to avail themselves of such
| opportunities should take pains to find
| out beforehand the locality and address.
There are a number of excellent houses
on Michigan avenue where one may be
suitably accommodated with both room
and board, and in point of responsibility
comfort and convenience to the principal
places of interest in the city, no better
/ situation could be desired.
| There are good restaurants in the local
| ity, the best kept and patronized, of
which has the double advantage OF being
run under the management of some OF
our home people.
I There seems to be no elimination in
| the number of visitors from Salt Lake,
each throng that goes being supplied by
new corners, and the summer promises to
see steady continuation of the tide oil
travel from the home place.
AS each week makes the fair more in
teresting, by reason OF the growing COM
pleteness or its great exhibit, there is
every reason the number should increase
and if it does, it would seem that we shall
| keep with US through the season OF the
exposition a very fair representation Of
the population of Salt Lake. FRANCES.

A False Pretense Charge.

Last night Henry Shaffer arrived here
from Joseph city, In Skull valley. accom-
panied by G. w. Ross, and soon after
reaching here the latter had Shaffer ar
rested on the charge of obtaining money
under false pretenses.
Ross, who is wool grower. states that
Shaffer came to him a few days ago and
represented that man named Cummings
had gotten away with some sheep belong
ing to himself, az well as band of NUT
tons and lot Of wool belonging to Ross.
He represented that he was short OF
money and sold Ross a team of horses
which he had for $40, and then asked for
loan of $50. Ross accommodated him
with the loan, but suspecting by this
time that Shaffer did not come by the
team honestly, held back the $40 and
came on TO Salt Lake with the man.

AS Big as the Government.

1t has frequently been said that the fig
ures in one of the annual statements OF
the New York Life Insurance company
were as big as those of one OF the branches
of the government. The enormous totals
of previous years have been distanced by
the fignres for 1892, which appear in the
statement for that year published in an
other part of The SUNDAY HERALD. The
totals are almost bewildering to the aver
age mind, but they indicate to certainty
the world wide confidence with which the
great insurance company is regarded The
increase over previous years is even more
marked in Utah than elsewhere, a fact
very gratifying to the local agents, Heber
j. Grant & Co.
