The Story of Another Man Having Beer
Shot at Hallet's Ranch, Westwater
Utah, Proves to be Canard.
Chief Fowler and Sheriff Brown re-
turned from Westwater last evening
rather crestfallen and wondering il
yesterday was really April lst.
The facts Of the scare are that on
Saturday evening a lame tramp, calling
himself Moran, got off the train al
Westwater, went down couple OF
miles to Hallet's ranch, came back uI
to the village and reported that he had
been shot at three times by Mrs. Hal.

water on a telegram stating that a
man had been shot at MrP. Hallet's
ranch. Mrs. Hallet was very much
surprised and somewhat worried at
seeing the officers come to her home
and was utterly at loss to know what
it meant
The cause of their visit being explained
to Mrs. Hallet she was more PER
picked than ever and denied that any
shooting had occurred on the ranch
since that fatal Sunday afternoon when
Royal Grant lost his life.
Going to Mrs. Darrow's house the
tramp was found. He insisted that he
had been shot at three times by Mrs.
Hallet at the ranch on Saturday even
ing.
When taken to the Hallet ranch the
people there said, yes the tramp had
been at the ranch on Saturday evening,
He came just at dusk and not knowing
what enemy it might be,a man was sent
out who ordered Mr.. Tramp to halt.
On learning it was none of ''the gang
of whom the Hallet people are very
suspicious he was taken into the house
and given some supper.
The officers heard both stories,
weighed the evidence carefully and
concluded that there was more truth in
the version of the affair given by Mrs.
HalIet and her little son than that
given by the tramp, and therefore
made no arrest but took the first train

Life of Elwood, Son of Benjamin Bach

This morning at about 10 O'Clock
Mrs. Benjamin Bachman Jr., and
those who happened to be about the
residence were treated to mighty
scare, and it is a wonder that little
2-year old Elwood is now alive.
Mrs. Bachman was over at T. E.
Thurman's residence calling for a few
moments. She had left her son play
ing in the house. The hired girl was
up stairs at work. Looking across
frum Mrs. Humans Mrs. Bachman
saw her darling boy running baCk and
forth, his clothes all ablaze.
The child screams brought the girl
to his rescue before his mother could
reach him, who tore the boys clothes
from him. In doing so the girl burned
her hands badly.
The child was badly burned on the
right leg and some about the abdomen.
A doctor was called, who, after exam
ination, stated that although very pain
full, the burn is not at all dangerous.
In some unaccountable manner the
child in his play found some matches.

Perhaps the most cutting criticism the
Commissioners have received on their cold
blooded award is that of one Zebaj Wa
derg. This gentleman has forwarded to
the Mayor a sketch as given in these
columns of a subject that entirely coin
cides with Mr.. Creswell's and Mr.. Brod-
erick's idea of art. 1t is entitled THE
Guardian Angel" and represents police
man adorned with wings. A letter accom-
panied the sketch. which reads as follows ::
I have arbitrarily named my figure The
Guardian Angel" There is no meaning TO it,,
but if you adopt it and the name promise that
the figure will be remembered ages after The
name is forgotten. A work of art that is In
capable OF singing so TO speak, its own praises
without name is not worth the cost OF the
material OF which it is composed. Witness the
fate of the fountains erected by philantbrOpic
dentist. l remember and probably will never
forget, several of them, but have forgotten
their names. l remember that only one Of

Aldermen are not the right people to judge

Hall Commissioners may have been all
right, but it has been a singularly hasty
one. There was not such rush that they
could not take another week to think it
over. l dc not see why they could not
have had those models on exhibition, not at
the Mayors Office, but in some place
where there were proper surroundings for
an art exhibit. AS a member of the Art
Institute l should have been glad to en-

Then the artists and the general public

committee could have been appointed to
select the most appropriate.
