PROBABLY A "FAKE."
But Good Story Whether True or a
Pigment Of Imagination.
From the Net0 York Post

CLARKEv1LLE, Tenn, April s.-There
has been found among the private papers Of
the late DR.. Francis Foutenay, the written
confession of crime, which occurred
twenty-eisht years ago, and Of which DR..
Foutenay was never suspected. The Rev.
A. N. Feltner, a rector OF the Episcopal
church, disappeared mys;eriously in 1865,
Just after the death OF his wife. DR..
Foutenay's confession states that be killed
Feltuer. DR.. FoutenaY was Mrs. Feltner's
physician and had become greatly interested
in the cAse because OF some of its
peculiar features. When Mrs. Feltner died
he decided to steal the body for an autopsy.
He had removed it from the grave, which
be was preparing TO refill, when ne received
a stunning blow from behind. Wheeling
round, he found himself face 10 face with
Fsitner, who again attacked him. The
doctor seized the shovel and struck his as-
sailant on the bead, hoping to stun him aud
escape. The blow crushed the temple bone,
causing instant DEATH DIR. Foutenay
placed the body in the empty coffin aud re-
filed the grave. Rain washed away all
traces OF the work ana the strange disap-
pearance was soon almost forgotten. DR..
Foutenay adopted his victims two children,
both OF whom are living. Bfrs. Feltner's
body was found where the confession said
It had been buried in the cellar, and was
reinforced beside that Of her husband.

HELD UP THE MAIL.
A Bold Foot.Pad Assaults and Robs
Carrier Slade.
Carrier to Get Them-Had
Gun, Too.

Although the Chicago foot-pads have
been holding up policemen, they have
not yet dared to modest the mail carriers,
which may be due to the fact that a much
heavier penalty is fixed for this, together
with Uncle Sans vigor in protecting the
mails. Such considerations do not
weight with the Salt Lake foot-pad it
seems.
At $50 last night. Carrier Henry
Slade, who was out gathering the mail
from the boxes, arrived at the Valley
House corner and opened the box in front
OF that hostelry. He stacked the bundle
of letters up on his arm and slammed the
door, when a man approached him from
the shade cast by the electric light and
said:
81 want that mail. -
The fellow spoke quietly, and the man
in the gray uniform, not compromising
his meaning, replied: "WeIl, you will
have to go to the postoffice. | have nc
authority to deliver mail until it has been
there, you know
Without another word the man shot
out strong left, catching the surprised
carrier full in the face and knocking him
down. As he fell, the thug grabbed the
him in an instant, and getting hold OF
some OF the letters, tried to wrench them
from his assailant's grasp, but only sue
ceeded in tearing them in two. The
footpad had promptly dealt Mr.. Slade an
other blow in the face and then drawing a
pistol, covered his retreat. After back
ing down South Temple street few steps,
he broke and ran like a deer towards the
Union Pacific depot.
Slade hurried down town, ed meeting
Officer Matthews, told him what had
occurred and half dozen policemen
were soon in hot pursuit, but at last ac-
counts, had not captured the daring thug.
Mr.. Slade's nose was badly damaged
and his cheek was skinned, but the blows
he received were from the bare fist, aud
his injuries are not at all serious. His
assailant got away with quite number
OF letters. The carrier was able to give a
good description of the man, who is about
5 #. in. tall and of medium build. He
wore beard and appeared to be young
man about thirty-fve.

A SECOND SHOT.
Loofbourow's Relations to Rhodes Bros,
Water Pipe Contractors.


The mayor also sent in second COM
munication, returning without his ap-
proval the contract with Rhodes Bros,
Denver, for the purchase of 213 tons of
water pipe, as follows:
SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 2, 1898.
c. E. Stanton Esq. City Recorder
DEAR SIR herewith return disapproved
the proposed contract with Rhodes Bros. for
the sale by sale firm to the city of 1853 tons of
S-inch and 80 tons of 6inch water pipe bearing
date Of Dec. 20, 1892, for the following reasons:
The officers of the city in making purchases
should exercise the SaUe diligence and care
that is used by prudent men in their personal
affairs, 10 purchase commodities as che apply as
practicable. AS bearing upon the present case
il is fact that the Colorado company, which
has hitherto furnished most of the iron water
pipe used BY the city, through the mayor has
sent the city council a bid for this pipe which
is SIG6. 80 below the price which it is proposed
10 pay Rhodes Bros.
The Colorado company manufacture their
ated at Pueblo, Colo, the advantage which
their close proximity to this city gives them in
the matter OF freight as has been shown by the
bids which they have in every instance put In,
has enabled them to furnish US pipe much
cheaper than other firms have up to the present
time been willing to do. Situated as this city
is with regard to the establishment OF this firm
and in consideration of the large amount of
pipe they have already sold TO the city they
certainly must be anxious to retsina patronage
so desirable. The desire TO bid for the pipe
mentioned In the contract is expressed ia the
letter sent TO me- which 1 herewith send at
tached.

obtaining bids from this Arm and it requires

that this firm refused to make bid in the
present case. Al the very time the bids in the
