nothing in the woman story" telegraphs
Rev. James S. Young, the Episcopal
preacher of Plain City, who went to
Denver on Saturday. This verifies the
story published in THE HERALD several
days ago TO the effect that certain
woman, formerly school teacher OF
Plain City, but now married, had received
letter from Taylor, dated at Denver,
demanding that she follow him there.
The letter in question gave an address at
which Taylor might be found, and it was
this address which Young took as his
guide in the search. 1t is unknown when
the preacher will return. but Taylor's re-
latives are of the opinion that he Will
reach Ogden tomorrow morning, though
whether or not Taylor will be with hlIn Is
also unknown. Ii seems hardly prooa-
bic, however, that the runaway will care
to face his family and friends again so
soon, unless he is fully prepared 10 play
the crazy act. The feeling is running high
at Plain City, the home of Taylor, and
even some of his relatives are now very
bitter against him.
The general opinion here and at Plain
City is that the preacher is DESTROYS OF
shielding the .'Woman in the case, - and
for this reason words the dispatch re-
ceived in the careful manner in which he
has done. Although young, the woman
is travelling in the east alone, presumably
towards her old home, for the purpose OF
settling up her fathers estate Since the
day the letter received by her was shown
to Sheriff Belnap, nobody has been able
TO get glimpse of the important eplstle
ana the supposition is that it has been
destroyed by the parties who at that time
had IL IN charge.
THE STREET RAILWAY FIGHT.
This morning when the Fourth district
court convened the street railway case
was taken up, but another contin uance
was granted, this time at the request of
mir. Henderson, the attorney for the
Henderson-B rinker people. In his state
ment Mr.. Henderson said that as their
track had all been torn up, restraining
order would be of no avail, and he, there
fore, might be willing to drop that part
of the case, but desired some time to con-
slider the next and the proper step to
take. Wednesday at 10 O'Clock was fixed
as the time for the hearing. Meanwhile
the contractors on the paving and grad
ing Will continue operations and get the
street IN readiness for paving.

View, was arraigned before Commissioner
Hulaniski this afternoon, charged with
intercepting, opening and secreting

the neighbors with them. Although he

the writer, she never received it, or at
least such was the nature of the testimony
introduced. Alvord gave the required
bond

AHEAvy TAX LEVY.
Important matters OF a financial nature
were before the city council at the meet
irg held tonight. The county assessor
reported that the total value OF the assess
able property in Ogden for this year, ex-
elusive of railroads, telegraph and
telephone property, is 213. 05S, 1856.
An ordinance was introduced making the
levy for this year hive mills Tor current
expenses, five mills for streets and side
walks and three mills for sewers and
drains, making thirteen mills, which.
added TO the school, county and territor-
iai levy, would make a grand total of
twenty-four mills, which the people will
be forced to pay should the ordinance
pass.
President Restall offered an amendment
making the levy eight mills, Just dou BILE
that of last year, and Harropp, the only
Democrat in the council, r,ade a quick
second. Restall objected to rairoading
matters of such grave Importance through
and said, as no statement of the amount
necessary to run the city government
for 1893 had been made, the council had
nothing to work on. Considering the
present state of the finances, he thon ght
even eight mills high levy.
An effort was made to put the ordin-
ance through, but the matter was finally
laid over until Wednesday night, when the
session will be devoted TO the question OF
finances.
WILLING TO PAVE.
The Henderson-B runker street railway
people notified the council that they had
received notice to pave and now had
agents in the east making the necessary
arrangements to comply with the notice.
They were of the opinion that the action
of the city employees In tearing up their
track would iniure the companv's nego-
tiations.
1t was decided to enforce the ordinance
governing the encroachment of property
owners on the city ground. Gill cited the
First National Bank building and Wood
Inansee's new block on Twenty fourth as
occupying city ground.
