Kinr soIonon,s Notion

That "There Is nothing new under the sun
does not always convey the truth. Especially
is this true as regards the new compost cars
now operated daily via the Chicago, Union
Pacific and Northwestern line between Salt
Lake City and Chicago.
These handsome Buffet Smoking and Lii
brary cars are entirely new throughout, Of
latest design, ltain all modern improve
ments, and are wen supplied with writing
material, the leading daily papers, illustrated
periodicals, magazines, ETC.
The fact that these cars run daily via THE
Overland Limited" and that the Union Pacific
was the line west of Chicago to naugurate
this service should commend itself 10 all.

DRUGGIST HUDSON IN THE Tolls.
Arrested and Charged with Selling
MortEnEcd Property.

Arrested and Charged with Selling
Mortgngcd Property.
p. w. Hudson, former druggist Of th, ty,
was arrested yesterday on warrant
charging him with dsposing of mortgaged
property without the consent of the mortga
gee. The complainant is Mrs. Melissa Peck
The arrest was made by Detectives Savage
and Dempsey at Hudson's home, 3049 South
Eighteenth street.
Mrs. Peck says that while Hudson was run
ming a drug store at 1716 Nicholas street be
was indebted to her several hundred dollars
To secure this, he gave her a mortgage on
his drug stock, and also mortgages on prop
erty in this city, and on eighty acres of land
in Wisconsin. She says that after he went
out of business he retained possession Of the
stock of goods on various pretexts, and moved
the property from warehouse to warehouse.
Finally, the stuff was stored at Fifteenth and
Nicholas streets. When Mrs. Peck went to
look for it,, few days ago, it had dwindled
almost into nothing.
Regarding the other mortgages, Mrs. Peck
says that Hudson represented to her that
they were first mortgages, whereas she has
now discovered that they constitute second
liens.

The county attorney, In speaking OF the
order of trials at the next term Of court,
said that he would first take up a number
of small cases in which the defendants were
in Jail, and would try to clean the Jail out
as much as possible. There are three
liquor cases and several cases of petit
larceny, and when these are disposed of the
case against Henry Boln, the defaulting
city treasurer, will probably be taken up.
The next case on the docket will probably
be that of Hermanson, charged with man
slaughter in killing John Starotska. The
main witness in this case, the woman who
was an eye witness to the tragedy, has re-
moved to Syracuse, N. Y, and the trial
cannot proceed until she is present.
