Provo. May 2O.-The festive burglars
have again appeared in Provo and in
their first effort they were successful
in carrying away booty amounting TO
nearly $780, This morning, when Mr..
Boray Of the firm of Boray & Wood
came to his business place, he dis
covered that his back window had been
crushed in, and when ne began to
check I'D his stock he found that the
firm had been relieved of about 1925
worth Of goods during the night. The
articles missing were II pairs of shoes,
II fur hats, box of sweaters, five boxes
of underwear, suit of clothes, silk hand
kerchiefs, Shirts neckties' and other
small articles. AS another evidence of
their visit, they left an old coat and
hat. In the pocket of the former was
an old Rio Grande time card.
Iney also broke into the Provo Hard
ware comDanyS store, and took their
entire stock of raZors and pocketknives,
amounting to about $780, The entrance
into this institution was made in the
same manner.
Suspicion rests strongly upon three
young men who were seen on the
y
being hoboes, although they wore some
good articles of misfit clothing. They
purchased a key of beer from R S.
Hines and spent the most OF the day
draining the contents near the depot
Although they were very much in evil
dence yesterday. this morning the mar
shall and his aids are unable to get a
trace of them. kilograms have been
sent in all directions and no doubt they
will be bagged before another q hours,
as il will be very difficult for them to
escape with such quantity of plumber
Mr. Boray is confident that the three
hoboes referred TO are the guilty ones,
as the coat and nat they left CORE
spond with what these individuals
wore.
A message to Sheriff Storrs. which
was received this afternoon, conveyed
the information that the body of Jor-
censor had been discovered by the
searching party who went out yester-
day. 1t was in a fairly well-Preserved
condition and was found at the snow
slide in the canyon above Pleasant
Grove, as was anticipated. The sheriff
has sent deputy to Pleasant Grove
TO ascertain the details of the discov-
cry.
Andrew Watson, a 6-year-old boy of
this city, was stepped upon by horse
just above the ankle. The bones of his
leg were broken and horribly crushed.
He was Immediately put in charge of a
doctor, who set the bones and dressed
the wounds. 1t was a very difficult
operation and caused the boy most Sc
we're pain.
In Erickson VS.. Erickson, a divorce
suit, S. A. King, attorney for defendant,
came into court and asked for time in
which to file statement and affidavits
on motion for a. new trial. Until June
so was given to prepare such papers.
John Erickson, who lives at Santa
quin, some time ago secured a divorce
from Carl E. Johnson, for alternating
his wife's affections. The woman sub
sequently secured a divorce from Err
rickson and married Johnson, which
marriage took place before the decree
had been signed by the judge. The
defendant in this case now cones for
ward with several grounds for new
trial
Giles Holden, an old resident of
Provo, who came to the valleys in 1857,
died today at II o'clock, after having
suffered for some weeks with jaundice.

attacks OF this complaint, which caused
his skin to become perfectly yellow.
His last attack came on something
over a month ago and he has since
been confined to his bed, growing
worse every day, his eyes turning
green and his skin assuming q dark
yellowish color. A wife and several
children are left to mourn his loss and
they have the most intense sympathy
from large number of friends.
