END OF A HEALTHY DRUNK.
Narrow Escape of n BOuntifuI Far
mer and His Son.

James G. Buckland's drunken spree
came near resulting in the death of his
7-year-old son and the destruction of
considerable property. auckland is a
Bountiful farmer and yesterday after
noon returned from Thomas where he
had been peddling fruit. With him was
his 7-year-old boy. On the way down
Parley's canyon auckland INDUCED
freely in liquor, procured at the Hall
way house, and gradually became heavi-
ly loaded. He had sense enough to
give his well filled purse to the boy
and the youngster stayed with it until
both he and his father ended up at the
police station, through no fault of his
own. The farmer managed to drive his
team into the city, but at the corner
of Fourth East and Third South Buck
land lunged forward and fell upon the
horses heels. The lines were firmly
grasped by the plucky boy, who slid in
to the bottom of the wagon and braced
himself. His strength was as nothing,
however, and the frightened horses
dashed west on Third South at full
speed. Near the corner OF State and
Third the runaways sWerved from their
course and evidently intended turning
north. Seeing the great danger of the
child number of gentlemen rushed
at the heads of the horses and sue
ceeded in changing their course so that
they rushed straight across the street.
On the west side they came in contact.
front on, with a telephone post and
were soon undar control. The only
damage done was the swapping of the
wagon tongue. The brave little fellow
was taken from the wagon and later
removed to the police station by Ser
geant Wire and officer Raleigh. Buck
land had been picked up meanwhile
and he was also taken to the station
and there kept to sober up. He was
slightly bruised and cut.

THE settlement of the traiff question
has restored confidence pretty thorough

who returned to this city yesterday
morning on the early train, speaking to
a Herald reporter in the afternoon. I'm
consequence of that restoration the
merchants are buying more heavily and
there is a marked Improvement in the
condition of finance and trade all

should be felt here within a short time
and the outlook for the future is much
brighter than was the case few
months ago.
Mr.. Clawson has been absent from the
city for five weeks, during which time
he has been attending to private bust

PUSHING THE AUSTIN TUNNEL.
1t is Now in Nearly Twenty-Five
Hundred Feet.

General Manager Farnsworth, of the
Austin Mining and Milling company,
returned last evening from Austin,
New, where he has been since the lat
ter part of the week just passed. His
return is more than likely to be fol-
lowed by a special meeting of the
board Of directors of the Bullion-Beck
and Champion Mining company, at
which some mill talk may be INDUCED
in.
Speaking to Herald reporter last
night, Mr.. Farnsworth stated that the
development tunnel of the Austin COM
pany is now in 1900 feet and being
pushed as fast as possible. This cut
is being made for the purpose of tap
ping the main ore bodies of the every
claim in the Union group, and already
it has accomplished part Of the work
Should it so desire the company could

Meets with No Marked Approval.

The proposition sprung by Mr.. Ma
son in the council on Tuesday night tn
chain the waters of City creek for cleo
trical purposes, does not seem to meet
with any special approval at the hands
of the other members of the council,
one reason being that the city is not
just now in a position to invest the
necessary money in a plant. Then
again, it is said that Frank Gillespie
and others have coppered all of the
power sites in the canyon and Go not
intend to waive any of the rights they
claim to have secured. Mr.. O'Meara
will continue to press his resolution
calling for street lighting bids until the
council has taken definite action.

The sale of the hex mine, in the De-

here by John Williams, ALSO one Of the
interested parties, is a sure go and one
of its first fruits viii he the erection of
a smelter at bennington, twenty-seven

The smelter is to be Of eighty tons ca

BONDED MINERAL SPRINGS.
Salt Lake Syndicate Secures the
Gregson Property.

Gregson Property.
Twas lucky day, indeed, for the
man that struck this little WE'LL" was
the remark Of a visitor of Milesian ex-
traction q few days ago, when in
formed that a Salt Lake syndicate
had bonded the waters of that resort
for S115,0oo. says the Butte Inter
Mountain. It has long been a matter
for wonder that some of our own Mon
tana capitalists did not years ago Sc
cure the springs and proceed to make
it the most inviting spot for a short
vacation in all the state With the ex-
penditure of a few thousand dollars
this could easily be done The waters
their curative powers, and if trees We're
planted around the pools and a park
laid out, no prettier spot could be
found. Milo French has had charge
of the springs for nearly ten years, and
some years ago he planted a few trees
in front of the hotel. They have grown
up and now form the only foliage of
the springs.
The syndicate is composed of Salt
Lake real estate men and the time for
lifting the bond expires during the
latter period of the year The bond
will be raised should the capital be To-
Gated on the west side, and it is I'M
derStood that number Of fine brick
structures will be erected for the ac-
comodation of invalids and transient
guests. The springs were located by
the Gregson brothers in 1868, who still
reside on the ground, and should the
deal go through they will have enough
to live in comfort during the TEST of
their days.
Milo French, who has had the place
leased for number of years at 81, 900
per year, is interested in a TOWNSHIP
adjoining the springs which, if the
bond is raised by the Salt Lake men,
will allow him a snug competence.

ANOTHER FLOUR MILL SYNDICATE
Cache Valley Mills Joining in the
Movement.

Movement.
As predicted would be the case. ne
gotiations are now on looking to the
formation of another Touring mill syn
dictate, similar in its workings to the
lntermountain Milling company, of this
county, which is to include all Touring
mills in Cache county and probably
one or two of the Weber county mills.
The success which has followed the or
ganization of the Salt Lake county
syndicate seems to. have spurred the
northern mill men on to similar ac-
ton, and the successful elimination of
the plans of organization is said to be
but the matter of a short time. 1t is
possible that the Ogden mills may come
into the local association. Joseph
Clark, general manager of the Ogden
Mill and Elevator company, was in the
city yesterday, and in close consulta-
ton with the officers of the Intermoun-
tain company. The gentlemen had
nothing for the press when their de-
alterations We're ended. On the quiet,
however, it was learned that consider
able figuring is now in progress.
The officers of the local syndicate
deny that their organization partakes
in any particular of the nature of a
trust, having been perfected in the in
terests of economy and for the pur-
pose of affording protection for farm
er, miller and consumer alike. There is
no disposition to send up the price of
mill products or bear the grain mar
kets, but rather to maintain that
standard which will best subserve the
interests of all, The associat ton does
not make any pretensions of controlling
the markets,

Drunken Spree That Came Near

Notes.

Chief of Police Pratt last evening
rendered the thanks of the Salt Lake
department to the Ogden police de-
partment. the cause of the interchange
of courtesies being the return to this
city by Chief of Police Davenport Of
the two burglars who raided the par
sonage of the First Congrega tional
church on Tuesday night. The men
were arrested in ogden Yesterday
morning and in their possession was
found large amount of the stolen
property. 1t is a sure case and the
worthless have now started on their
comparatively short journey to the
penitentiary.
The suspicious of Detective Fender,
the actions of two men who were en-
deavoring to- dispose of a coat and
vest in a Twenty-fifth street pawn
shop yesterday morning, and he de-
termined to give them his particular
attention. A few minutes after they
left the shop the men were arrested
by the officer in the rear of the Euro
pean hotel. In their possession was
found grip, containing an assortment
of table ware, jewelry and silk goods,
and coat and vest. In one of the
pockets of the coat were found several
cards of the Rev. Brown and pro-
grammes of a recent church gather
ing. The Ogden officers had read the
Salt Lake papers and were aware of
the robbery of the parsonage. This
was proof conclusive as to the identity
of the men and they were booked on
the charge of burglary. Communica-
ton with Salt Lake was established
and the news of the capture was re-
ceived here. Chief Davenport came
down on the evening train bringing
the prisoners with him, and they were
given lodging in the city Jail. They
gave the names of Louis Cunningham
and John Ryan. Neither of the men
would talk. The property recovered
can be easily identified by the owners,

ing on Tuesday having been 6434 cents.
This marked advance is said to be due
to the demands being made by the Ash
attic silver using countries and the
faith the holders have in the enact
ment of favorable legislation. 1t is re-
storing some confidence here in the
west and the silver producers are feel

SEVERAL BuRGLAR1Es REPORTED
Daily Record Now Shows Great Gain
of Crime.


The city is just now heavily infes-
ted with burglars and petty thieves
and several robberieS are reported to
police headquarters daily. The mem
berS of the department are doing some
good work and a large number of ar
rests are made each twentyfour hours,
but the robberies continue just the
same. The outlying districts are the
greatest sufferers, although the YER
min is becoming quite bold, evidently
with the understanding that the pa
lice department has already been re-
duced.
Yesterday was no exception to the
rule which seems to have been estab-
lished. and a number of burglaries
were slated before the day was done.
The residence of Heber Cutler on
South West Temple was entered some
time Tuesday evening during the alb
sence of the family on an excursion,
and thoroughly ransacked. Everything
was strewn about by the burglars in
their search for plumber, and by the
time the gentry were satisfied that
they had pretty we'll stripped the
place of valuable wearing apparel and
jewelry they decamped.
George Nephew is mourning the loss
of gold watch which was taken from
his vest Tuesday night. He resides at
SIT East Second South street and had
left his watch in his vest. The burg
lars effected an entrance through the
wire doors and carried off the watch
and probably some other things. The
loss was reported to police headquar-
ters yesterday.
Down at Shoots park the refresh
ment stand was broken open at an
early hour yesterday morning and
swept of it's contents, candy, nuts. pop
corn. soda water and other refresh
mentS.
Sergeant Esllnger arrested a young
man who gave the name of Acel
Brown at his residence at Draper, ear
ly yesterday morning on suspicion. He
had in his possession a valise well
filled with ladies' wearing apparel and
was attempting to dispose of them. He
claimed that a lady sold them to him
for rs cents. but he had forgotten her
name or residence. A charge will be
preferred today.
