Many Plans for It's Reorganization In
the Air.
OMAHA, Dec. 22.-General Solicitor
Thurston of the Union Pacific, in speak
ing of the scheme OF reorganization, said:
There are many plans for the reorgan-
ization of the Union Pacific property in
the air. The general scheme however,
that seems to meet with the most favor is
that the Union Pacific proper, together
with those lines with are properly part
of the system, although classed as feed
ers, shall be reorganized under Congress-
iOnal legislation, and subjected to sale
under direction of the court. The sale is
absolutely necessary, that the new COM
pany be formed that will permit a fresh
start being made. With reductions made
in the fixed interest charges. the prop
erty would be able to pay interests on the
obligations and the principal on the Gov
ernment debt, so the Government secur-
ity would grow better every year, while
the liability would grow constantly less.
Should the Administration disprove of
some features of the theory of reorgan-
ization it would have to be completely
discussed over again. The rights Of the
Government must be sacrediy guarded,
as well as the rights Of individuals, and
this requires no inconsiderable time"

SALT LAKE, Dec. 22.-By the presence
of mind and prompt action on the part OF
several members of theater company,
terrible tragedy was averted at the Salt
Lake Theater this evening. About 8
o'clock Oscar B. Young, crazy son of
the Mormon prophet Brigham Young,
burst open the door of the theater box
office. Before the astonished Treasurer
and Manager could collect themselves,
Young strobe into the theater, around to
the stage door and dashed across the
stage. The curtain was down and the
actors were dressing for the second act.
In the first dressing-room he broke and
stood trothing in passion before Harry
Connor. After trying to lock the door he
demanded the key of Connor. "Ill teach
yon to go to New York and talk about
Danites,'' he said.
With a torrent of oaths the madman
pressed upon Connor. Instantly recOg-
Dizing that he was in the presence of
madman, Connor gave a quick leap out
of the door. The ladies in the adjoining
rooms screamed.
At this moment propertyman Antoine
MaZZanOvich, a match in strength and
size 1Or 1Oung, Ieaped upon Inc mao
man from behind and pinioned him.
Just then a boy was passing with two
swords used in the play. With a strength
born of madness, Young released him
self, grabbed sword, and commenced
plunging at those around him. Again
the massive prOpertyman caught him
from behind, and at the same time catch
ing the hilt of the sword. Those ladies
who had not tainted rushed to the room.
Don't lynch me, don't lynch me-" cried
Young. He was forced into the street,
policeman called. and still raving, he was
carried TO the station.
Young has long been regarded as daft,
and of late has shown dangerous tenden-
cies. Those who know the man regard
the lucky overcome in the stage encounter
as little short Of miracle.
Young's present spell is said TO be the
result of financial troubles. He had no
acquaintance with anyone of the theater
company.
