off her disguise and told the police that
her home is in the East: that she is
lady and a Sunday school teacher when
at home: that her grandfather lives in
Missouri and is wealthy: she took the
notion to travel, she says. and found
that she could easily obtain transporta-
tion by working on the sympathies OF
railroad officials and other people. She

The examination of William Lewis
as to his sanity before Judge Dusen-
berry Friday, resulted in the court
finding him sane and making an order
to have him delivered to the custody
of the sheriff of Salt Lake county. Mr.,
Lewis testified that he felt in his right
mind and had suffered from no hal
fluctuations for aSout two years past.
The evidence of other witnesses was
to the effect that he acted in every
respect as a sane man. The order was
then made as above and Sheriff
Lewis was notified to come after
William Lewis, which he did yesterday,
for the purpose of taking him to Salt
Lake to stand trial for the killing of
Gier at Sandy in 1892. In speaking of
the homicide while testifying Lewis
said that at the time he thought Gier
was going to kill him and that he took
Gier's life in self defense.

SUNDAY STREET sPRiNKLING,
A Correspondent Thinks It Unnecessary, Espe-
ciaIly in Wet Weather
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
why not stop the sprlnkling of
streets on Sundays? Last Sunday
although the sky was threatening in
the morning and rain was beginning
to fall, and the day proved an un-
usually wet one, the sprinklers We're
at work in various parts Of the city
watering the streetsl What nonsensel
What reckless expenditure of the taXesl
one person. observed to n sprinkler
man what a foolish thing it was, and
the man asscnted.
Sprinklng the streets on Sunday Is
not necessary work at any time of
the year, and it Is an insult to require
Bible believers to pay taxes for any
such purpose, the sprlnkling being n
violation of the fourth commandment
and dissertation of the Sabbath. a
few years ago the streets were not
sprinkled on Sundays, though every
other day. Then It seemed like Para
disc on that day when those mud
making machines were kept off the
streets. Let us have no more Of Sun
day street sprinkling. There is no
need of it, SALT LAl<ER.

with black bass from Utah lake was
passed, and in section provides that.
1t shall be unlawful for any person to
take, in any manner whatever. from
any of the waters mentioned in the
preceding section, any black bass,
planted IN pursuance Of this act, for
two and one-half years from the ap-
proval of this act, and any person con-
victed Of a violation of the provisions
OF this section shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor" See chapter XIV, ses-
sion laws of 1897. All citizens who are
interested In the material advance
ment and development of the state
should not hesitate to give information
to the proper officers when any ,iola-
ton of this law comes under their ut
ticc.
In the distribution of these bass
throughout the state ! have been en-
abled to make more liberal paintings
than would have been otherwise pos
sible with the appropriation, through
THE generosity of Vice President and
General Manager w. II. Bancroft of
the Oregon Short Line Railway COM
pany, and General Superintendent A.
Il. Welby of the Rio Grande Western
Railway company in furnishing free
transportation for the fish. Both com
panies have been very magnanlmous
in the matter, but from .h9 geographic
cal distribution of the waters required
to he stocked, the larger share of the
task fell to the Short Line company
For the shipment to the northern part
of the State made in the early part Of
the season, the Short Line furnished
a large special car well adapted for
our purpose, and hauled 1t with its
large load of live fish from Provo to
Bear lake tand return empty on the
regular express train, and instructed
the employees along the line to give us
all the assistance we might need in
supplying the fish with fresh water on
the way.
In similar manner Mr.. Bancroft
again furnished another special car
for the shipment recently made to the
lower Sewer river. This car was
hauled over the road n distance of
three or four hundred miles back and
forth. and kept at the disposal of the
fish and game department FOR three
days.
In the shipment made TO Richfeld
on the 30th of October last, the r.. G..
w. Ry. Co. very generously gave up
the use of one half of the baggage car
on its regular passenger train for the
accommodation of the FISH; md IL has
literally granted favors ON other oc-
casions to the fish and game DEPART
ment of the state
The liberallty of Gen.Supt. Welbyand
General Manager Bancroft in so gen
erously furnishing free transportation
for the distribution of these bass
throughout the State is highly com
mendable, and deserving of much
credit from the State and the general
public; and in behalf of the State fish
and game department of Utah they
have my most hearty thanks.
| have also to thank County War
dens Myron C. Newell of Provo and
Mart earn of Salt Lake, and also
Deputy State Warden Frank II. Rudey
for their efficient and untiriny aid in
the handling and planting of the fish
Especial credit is due to Mr.. earn for
the expert, able and persistent manner
in which he welded the air pump on
the occasion of the large consignment
to Bear lake.

End of the Lippman- Middlemiss
Fracas.

When Captain Eslinger and Officer
Dick Shannon captured three crooks
in barn on South First West on April
20 they did not know at the time to
what purposes their net had been
spread.
Telegraphic advices from Chief OF
Police Mulholland of Butte to Chief
Paul confirm the suspicious of the Salt
Lake offlcers that Donald Mclean
John B. Sherwood and J. c. Parry or
FaGdy Hayes were no common Grim
mas They are all said TO be members
OF the gang that held up a work car
on the Great Northern road near Butte
IN association with Mike Clancy, who
mas since been sentenced to 81 years
IN the Montana peniientiary for that
oHense. Clancy has now made full
confession which duplicates all three of
the men caught in Salt Lake. Parry
and Sherwood are now serving two
years in the Utah pen, having pleaded
guilty to robbing a tailoring place on
mann street. The clothing was found
IN the barn of Curly Manyon by Cap
tain Eslinger and Officer Shannon, who
arrested the three men on the spot.
Ed Mccullough, crook caught in
Butte after Clancy'S arrest, was the
first one of the gang TO peach His
y,
man called Bob. who is Parry, and
Scotty, who answers to the descrip-
ton of Sherwood. The Butte authori-
ties wired Chief Paul yesterday to hold
sherwood and Parry and the chief re-
piled that there need be no uneasiness.
They would be in possession of the
state OF Utah for two years at least
Mclean, who was released by Justice
Wenger when the other two were
bound over has written to the men
from some Utah point, notifying them
OF the sending of an express package.
The letter is couched in crook terms
and is evidently a cryptogram The
prisoners were too smart to receipt for
the package while in Jail and conse-
Quently IT was returned to Mclean
unopened. Montana viii have de-
mand upon Parry and Sherwood after
their sentences are served in this
state.
