A Juvenile Feud.

Henry and George Lucas, two very
small boys, had hearing in Justice
Hall's court yesterday on the charge OF
assault and battery committed on the per-
son of Ruby Kirby, still smaller ur-
chin, several days ago. From the evil
dence it appeared that there is bad blood
between the boys, and Henry Lucas met
Ruby Kirby, at the time alleged in the
complaint, and proceeded to do him up.
Henry was therefore found guilty but his
brother was discharged. The Justice,
however, suspended sentence, pending
the DEFENDANTS good behavior.
When the decision was announced,
Mr.. Watrous, for the defense, insisted
that the boy be fined. instead of leaving
sentence suspended, and alleged that the
Kirby boys were in the habit of assault
ing the Lucas youngsters.
Mr.. Kelley, for the complaining wit
ness, stated that the ruling suited him,
as all he desired was that the Kirby chill
dren should be protected.
Mr.. Watrous-Well, as the matter now
stands, if we are assaulted we will have
no redress.
The Court-Oh. yes, you will have. II
they assault you the law will protect you.
Mr.. Reillev-Well, your honor, we are
trying to raise garden down there, and
all we ask is to be let alone.
Mr. Waltrous-Well, if you would raise
more garden and less hill you would get
along better.
Mr.. Reilly-If that's the way you in
tend to treat the matter I don't care to
talk to you.
The court here took a hand and stated
that his decision would stand as rendered,
and the war party departed.

A Mvsterious warning.

Each of the tenants of the Morlan block,
on Second South street, just west of Main,
yesterday received by mail note reading
as follows:
MoRLAN BLOCK
For safety of person and property you are
warned against remaining in that building
"A word to the wise is suff1cient"
The letters were precisely the same,
having been copied by the mimeograph
process. The writing was evidently dis
guised, and the mystified tenants prompt
ly called the attention of Mr.. Morlan to
the affair. He was unable to throw any
light upon it, but notified the officers, and
Chief Paul and Sheriff Mcqueen are both
looking into the case. The general i'm
preston now is that it is the work of
hare-brained chap who thought he was
playing joke.

DAUGHTERS OF REBEKAH.
Entertainment and Banquet by the Mem

Entertainments and Banquet by the Mem
beers of Naomi Lodge.
Fraternal feeling and demonstrative
good cheer reigned supreme at the beauti-
ful 1. o. o. F. hall on Market street last
evening, growing out of the delightful
entertainment given by the Naomi Lodge
No. 1, Daughters of Rebekah, in celebra-
ton of their fifth anniversary. 1t can
truthfully be said that the ladies have
carried of the palm in the way of a
refreshing evening of enjoyment and
full credit should be given them for the
admirable manner IN which their pro-
gramme was arranged and carried out.
There were over 200 guests present at
S:45 O'Clock, and Grand Master H. F..
Evans of the 1. o. o. f. lodge delivered
anladdress of congratulation and welcome.
He dwelt upon the growth, benefits and
accomplishments OF the two branches of
the order, in a manner that was both
pleasing and acceptable, and was heartily
applauded when he had made his final
bow. The following programme was
then rendered:

The programme was so happily rem
dered and enjoyed to such noticeable
extent that it would be difficult to indi-
vidualize the selections. all containing
merit in harmony with their character.
However, special mention is made of the
Rotations of Master Harry Culmer, S..
w. Darke and four-year- old Baby Wat
kins. This trio brought down the house.
At the conclusion of the programme came
a rare banquet, which formed very ap-
preciable adjunct to the other pleasures
which the evening afforded.
The banquet being over, games were in
dulged in during the remainder Of the
evening.

1887, and is one of the strongest N the

a Grading Outfit Leaves Ogden and Com.

OGDEN, April s.-To-day Fitzpatrick
Brothers & Collins, the great railroadc con-
tractors, sent five cars OF grading outfits
east over the Union Pacific, consigned to
Fort Casper, Wyo., the western terminus
of the Chicago d Northwestern. This
may mean great deal, taken in
connection with the statement of q Or om-
inent civil engineer who is in the conf
deace OF several OF the engineers who
have, or viii have, charge Of the
building of the Utah & Wyoming railroad
from Casper TO Ogden, that active operat-
tions Will commence on the extension this
month. The first work viii be done near
Casper and pushed west with all possible
speed. fitzpatrick Bros. & Collins are
said to have secured the contract for the
grading, and their outfits viii be pressed
into active service immediately upon their
arrival at Casper.
The Utah and Wyoming is nothing
more or less than an extension of the
Northwestern, although the officials of
the latter road strenuously deny the
statement.
SMELLING BfEN HEARD FROM.
President Patton of the chamber of COM
merce was notified this morning by the
Chicago company which proposes to put
up a smelling and teaching plant here

AS to the rife at the bank, it was
usually kept on little shelf under the
counter. There was four cartridges with
the gun. No more had ever been brought

gun was brought to the bank dirty. The

THE BucK.RIpsR.
One Of the Desperate Dodge. of the Han.
som Cab Drivers.

One OF the Desperate Dodges of the Han
som Cab Drivers.
The "buck.riderr is dummy fare 10
whom the driver is often obliged to re.
sort in order to scrape together sufti-
Gent money to pay the proprietor.
This Is especially the case should he be
unfortunate over his first horse. The
great use of the .sbuck-riderr is that he
enables the cabman TO get his cab into
the market; in other words, TO get past
the police constables, who keep all
empty cabs from lettering at places
where people are most likely to want
them.
Desperation makes the cabman fer
tile of resource; he picks up his buck
who may be either man or a woman.
and carries him or her past the consta-
bles to the place where he wishes to 90.
A coin changes hands, usually one ar
ranged upon beforehand, and in the
momentary delay of alighting and pass
ing the money the cabman may secure
genuine fare and drives off trium-
plant. OF course the trick has to be
done with caution, for the penalty is a
heavy one If the cab driver is caught
carrying buck" Policemen are well
aware of the dodge, and at,certain points
constables are stationed, whose special
duty 1t is to spot the professional
"buck-riders." The profession is not a
lucrative one, for the buck" seldom
gets more than a shilling or gratis
ride for his or her services.-Nineteenth
Century.
