THE EINFoRD INVESTIGATION.
The great farce, as most citizens call 1t,
but strictly speaking the investigation,
has ended, and the committee Will now
formulate Its report and submit It TO the
council at the Monday nights meeting.
Judging from the smiles which chased
themselves across Binford's face as he
left the mayors Office at the close of the
Investigation, he feels very confident OF
the result, as the public generally has
felt all along.
But little additional information of an
important nature was obtained at today $
examination. Much of the old ground
was again gone over. BInford's friends
were out in force, and the chief
himself, as finale to the az
fair was given an opportunity
TO tell his story. It was the same thing
over again. he swore that force of men
was on both the north and south sides
with lines of hose fighting the fire across
na ,rt -, 4oIl |,
those told by the other witnesses, not ore
of whom saw any men throwing water on
the flames from the south side.
SALT LAKE ExoNERATED.
On account of certain statements made
by Binford during his examination on
Thursday evening. the impression got
abroad that a Salt Lake fireman struck
w. @. Childs at the time of the fire be-
cause the old gentleman refused to leave
the burning building.
Rather than leave such a stigma at
taehed to the Salt Lake department, Cap
tain Donnell sent for Assistant Chief
Donovan, and when time was called this
morning the latter was on hand. His evil
oence may, and should, result in the dis
missal OF Brennan, whom it was con-
Elusively shown did the striking.

Archie Burns, brute of so years, was
this morning sentenced to a year in the

girls and making indecent proposals.

the plant will be shipped from Chicago
tomorrow, and the heavy pieces viii reach
Ogden in time to be inwrought into the
building as it progresses.
