PROVO PARAGRAPHS.
Burglar Griffin Shows quite a Know
ledge of the Lav-New Cases in
Court,

Provo, March 22.-Carl Osterloch was
arraigned before Justice DeMoiser last
evening on a charge Of burglary. He
pleaded not guilty and his bond was
fixed at $500.
Thurman NJ. Marsh, grand larceny;
not guilty.
James Griffin was placed on trial for
the crime of burglary, said to have
been committed at Eureka some time
in February, by entering into the Rio
Grande Western depot. Griffin asked
the court if there was any more in
dictments against him, and when an
swered in the negative, asked that
Attorney D. d. Hantz defend him.
Griffin acknowledged to taking the
things from the depot, but it was in the
daytime and the door was open. He
took it upon himself to define to the
jury the difference between burglary,
HOUSEKEEPING and larceny. His offense
was larceny. The court stopped him
at this point. Griffin said he was pass
ing the depot, and expecting a bundle
of blankets to be sent to him, went
in to see if they were there. He did
not find them and no attendant was
there, so he took the articles "a cheese,
a box of crackers, and other eatables)
to live on while he was waiting for
work; but learning that the railroad
officials were ''onto him. he sold the
things to a peddler so they could not
find the articles in his possession.
Griffin called Assistant Prosecutor
Richards a liar, and said that he was
being raflroaded into the pen, but
would not 60 He said if he was con-
victed he would die rather than go
back to the pen, where he has been
held awaiting trial. The jury returned
verdict of guilty as charged in the
indictment. The court sent them back
to ascertain which charge the defend
ant was guilty of, burglary or house
breaking. The former charge was Sc
lected.
The question of jurisdiction in the
cases before the court, of Duggins,
Neibour and Wilson, indicted for al
lowing gambling in their places of bus
mess, was argued before Judge King
today. Assistant Prosecutors Richards
and Wedgewood contended that the
district court hold jurisdiction in these
cases, while City Attorney Whitecotton
argued to the contrary-that the legis-
lature gave to cities the exclusive
power to prosecute these offenses At
torneys Warner and White and D. D.
Hantz, for the defendants, took the
same ground. The court ruled that
the territory held concurrent jurisdic-
ton, and had the power to control
gaming.
People vs. Jerry NJ. Richardson:
hearing on motion for new trial was
continued to March IS. Richardson
was. convicted a few days ago of COM
hitting rape upon the person of Lucy
j. Seamon.

A UT0NIAN AMONG THEM.
Collecting Portraits OF Council Bluffs
Early Postmasters.
Postmaster Thomas Bowman is get

Postmaster Thomas Bowman is get
ting up collection of the portraits of
the early ex-postmasters of Council
Bluffs and has so far four crayon pic
lures and several small sized photo
graphs to show for his pains, says a
Council Bluffs paper. Yesterday he re-
ceived the photograph of Joseph Ellis
Johnson, who has the distinction of
being the first man who ever licked a
postage stamp as postmaster of Coun-
ell Bluffs. That was in 1853 The pic
ture from which the crayon portrait
is to be made bears evidence of hav-
ing been taken from an old-fashioned
daguerreetype, and the subject showed
his contempt for the frivolities of civil
lzation by appearing in MS shirt
sleeves. Johnson also attained some
prominence in this vicinity by run
ming a newspaper at Crescent City. He
devoted his best energies to booming
that town, and prophesied number
of times through the columns of his
paper that it had a destiny before il
that would make all other western
cities pale into iusigIlificance.
While Council Bluffs was yet Kanes-
vile Evan NJ. Greene was postmaster,
and his face shines out from within
fine hard wood frame in the postmaS-
ter's office. He was the first postmaster
in Kanesville, his commission having
been dated in 1913. He served for two
years and then Joined the Mormons
and went to Utah. In his time the
Office was at the corner of Broadway
and Benton streets and was made of
logs The man who made the portrait
has taken off several rough edges from
Mr.. Green's costume, which appears to
have been several shades sprucer than
would have been considered good form
in the early days, but the original from
which the crayon was made shows that
the fault lies with the artist, and not
with Mr.. Green's tailor.
The enlarged portrait of W. w. May
nard, Phil Armour and T. p. Treynor,
all of whom are deceased, adorn the
walls of the office, in addition to that
of Greene, and all the other early post
masters, to the number of about
dozen, will be honored in like man.
ner as soon as possible. The post
masters who are still living, however,
will either have to pay for their own
portraits or else wait for future gem
erations to honor them, for Mr.. Bow
man has given it out cold that he will
not pay for any pictures excepting for
those who have gone before.
