a suitable man for the place. Friday

learning and good qualities.

western university and also the Chi
cago college of sciences. DR.. Henry inn

quently occupied by DR.. Beans, late of
this city. He has served as pastor of
the Irving Park and the De Kalb Nj.

NEWS FROM NEARBY TOWNS

last session Of the legislature served
as senator with marked ability.
Candidates for postmaster at this
place are coming to the front thick and
fast, and although Mr.. McDermott has
only held the office for a couple of
weeks, having taken possession the day
before election. not if some of our
local patriots can have it their way
will he serve out his commission. The
Miner today mentions D. NJ. Thayer,
John Iredale, Colonel r. D. Woodruff,
Ben Howell, Hariat Riddle and L. l..
Davis as candidates for the appoint
ment, with several dark horses yet to
hear from. Any of these gentlemen
would make a good postmaster, but 1t
would seem that there is no undue
haste about the matter, especially as
the present incumbent has only just
taken possession of the office; and the
promptness and despatch with which
everything is handled is quite an i'm
provement to what it has been for
some time and clearly shows that he
is the right man in the right place.

Kavsville. Nov 21.-S. NJ. Vessels,
formerly a Kaysville boy, but who for
nearly a year has been managing the
American Fork creamery for Jones &
TAYLOR of this place. is wanted by his
employers on a charge of embezzle-
ment. He left American Fork on
Wednesday evening, ostensibly on a
visit to the neighboring town Of Lehi,
hut he failed to return and Seth e.
Jones, the senior member of the firm
that employed him, who was IN
American Fork at the time he left, soon
discovered that Vessels was short in
his accounts. An investigation de-
veloped the fact that his speculations
amounted TO several hundreds of dol
lars which ne had collected from
American Fork firms on the creamery
account and for which he had failed TO
give proper credits. The firms hold
receipted bills, however. so the loss will
fail directly upon Jones & Taylor. MI
Lee TAYLOR told The Herald man to-
day that their loss would be about $500
He also said every effort would be
made TO bring Vessels to justice, and
he feels confident that he will be cap
tured.
This morning it was learned that
vessels spent last night with relatives
in ogden. leaving them this morning in
great haste under the preteXt that he
wished TO catch the morning train for
American Fork His relatives had no
idea that his business affairs were not
straight. ogden officers were wired
this morning to capture him and they
will no doubt do so. He is. crippled
in the left leg and would be noticeable
wherever he went.
Young Vessels has lived here in
Kaysville, where he has great many
relatives. nearly all his life and has
heretofore borne a fairly good reputa-
ton. He recently gained some I'M
pleasant notoriety in American. Fork
by being implicated with Harry Lee
of that place in conspiracy TO burn
the Bailey property, as was related in
The Herald last week.
Vessels is bright, quick-witted and
intelligent, and up to month ago was
giving his employers good satisfaction.
He is not quite p years of age and is
unmarried.

BOLDNESS OF THE HIGHwAYMFSN
ALMOST BEYOND BELIEF.
The Latest Affair Took Place Almost
Under the Shadow of the City
HaII-D. j. Cavanaugh, n Delivery
Man, the Victim.

There is no cessation of the reign Of
terror that has held sway in the city
for many days. causing after-dark
pedestrians to go about even the most
frequented streets in constant fear of
meeting the intrepid pair of highway
men who seem to laugh at the police
and carry on their nefarious trade I'M
der their very noses, 1t is no fault of
the police, either. fors the officers have
been all diligence since the gang-for
there is now known to be a gang of
them-first made its appearance. The
trouble seems to be that no one is
able to give a description of the des
peradoes, either because too much
frightened to take close account of
their appearance, or because the high,
waymen are so crafty as to select
spots for doing their work too dark to
admit of a close inspection. Certain it
is. the police have not been given
good description of the men by any one
of the dozen or more who have been
made victims. nc
Another hold-up, equally as bold as
that of the night before, occurred last
evening. 1t took place at o'clock in
the evening and almost in the shadow
of the city hall. The highwaymen got
for the night.
The latest victim was d. ]. Cava
naugh, young man, or boy, rather,
who drives a delivery wagon for Rad
don & Williams, the butchers. He had
just finished his work for the day and
had driven to the stable to put UP his
team. 1t was in the rear of 15S South
Second East street, where the young
man lives. He unhitched the team
and took off their BRIDES to allow the
horses to go to a trough to drink, and
then started for the barn to light
lantern. As he entered the stable door
he struck a match, and as he did so
two big revolverS were poked in his
face, accompanied by an admonition
to put up his hands.
There were two men as, usual, one
tall and the other short. AS the tall
man showed the guns in young Cava-
naugh's face the short one gave him q
kick in the stomach or a blow with a
club, he couldn't tell which, evidently
being afraid he was going to yell. That
took his breath away and he nearly
sank TO the ground between pain and
fright. He was commanded to stand
up under pain of being killed, and he
managed to do so while the smaller of
the two proceeded to rife his pockets.
The desperadoeS secured between $11
and So which young Cavanaugh had
collected for the firm during the day,
and took their departure, first locking
the youth in the stable to prevent his
giving the alarm. When he felt safe
TO do so, the boy climbed up into the
hay loft and dropped out of a window
to the ground. He was taken to head
quarters to report, but had been too
frightened to give anything more than
a general description of the men. 1t
was enough, however, to convince the
police it is the same pair that has
been heard from so often.

CoLoRED ACTOR In LONDON.

Elk: The first colored man who ever
rose to such an important position on
the stage is said to be Mr. William
Downes. formerly of Baltimore, and now
a distinguished member of the London
Gaiety company.
Mr. Downes takes the part of a chief
tain from Bashongoland, in South Africa,
who appears in the second act of My
Girl musical comedy and the latest
South African costume, consisting of
feathers, assegai and one or two other
things. This happy bit of realism has
Downes signs in American negro dialect.
The Londoners have always had a
strong partiality for negro minstrelsy,
but they have hitherto been content to
have it rendered by cockney artists who
had not the faintest notion of the genuine
article.

A Request.

Written for The Sunday Herald
In the dying of the day when the cows
come home,
In the dawning of the morn, in the noon
tides glare,
Whatever thy sorrow, whatever thy care.
Wherever thy feet may chance to roam,
VIII you think of me sometimes, some
times of me?
This | ask. and yet more to make the
gift whole,
IT'S the friendship which flows from the
depths of thy soul,
With the grand and the wonderful
strength of the sea-
Do you think you could trust such a
treasure with me?
Womans heart may be soft, woman s
hands may be weak:
Woman's will perhaps seemingly swayed
by q breath;
But woman can love, though her loving
means death,
With a power too mighty for mortal to
speak.
AS deep as the bottomless sea is my love.
And TO me your friendship is sacred
and high,
AS the pale stars that spangle the depths
of the sky,
And look down on the prose of our lives
from above;
So steadfast and changeless. like true
friendships love.
