THree youths We're walking up one of
the streets of the city few nights ago
each carrying jag" several sizes too
large and were making the night hide
GUS The young man in the center was
especially well loaded and was bordering
of State and First South they collided
with some Young ladies an an escort
The latter was especially injured and
made threats of humiliation which
angered the two on the outside, while
the ladies made some remark about
drunken loafers," all of which wrought
wondrous change in the central figure.
STRENGTHENING up as sober as he was ere
he had taken aadrnk he said: IF my
seis and friends have injured any ones
feelings It was unintentional and we
sincerely beg their pardon and tender
our humble apologies. We have no wish
to be claSsed as insulters of ladies' f1aV-
ing rid himself of this gentlemanly
declaration the young man again went
-IlIO Il state OF collapse ana the band
again played on as the trio wandered up
street But there was one instance of
mind over matter which seldom has
parallel.
1t is stated that the sportsmen of the
cit-r would be greatly pleased if I. NJ.
Barrett could be appointed to the position
OF fish and game commissioner for this
worI- as intended by the law This is
not n political place by any means and
Barrett will no doubt be endorsed by all
lovers of the rod and gun without respect
TO politics. The fish supply of the county
car be increased in a marked degree by
efficient work and Barrett is a man so
interested that he would give it more
time than almost any person who could
be mentioned for the place.
In connection with this matter it is re-
lated that the Eagle-eye Gun club will
endorse its president for the place. He
made the acquaintance of all varieties
during his continued life at restaurants
where the same are served and being
devoted to all kinds would do worlds to-
ward preserving the supply of the same.
The only difficulty will be in getting the
TO accept public office.
1t may not be out of place to remark
that the electric light at the corner of
Second South and Third West. after hav-
ing burned few nights half way con-
has again contracted the old
complaint of refusing to illuminate the
tracks down there until two hours after
the balance hare been burning. The at
tention of the light Inspector is called to
the fact and the additional fact that the
light on the corner of West Temple and
Second South was out good portion of
the time on Saturday. Sunday and Mon
day evenings, burning about one-f1fth of
the time.
The council having knocked out the
nickel in the slot machine, will deprive
a great many of the fun of breaking"
wicked to drop nickels in the slot and
take chances on beating the proprietor !
)ut of two or four cigars, or having the |
lial stop or the eagle and get three |
dollars worth of checks but at the same |
time there are those who will miss them !

get chocolate drops and gum for cent |
lust the same as before.
A telegram was received yesterday by !
.X-Sheriff Hardy definitely informing him |
If the location of Ciairvoyant Stoddard !

o have him returned to Utah. Stoddard |

With colored footmen. eating excellent |
timers at well known cafes; IN short
making as merry as though the next
lay was never coming.
Mr.. Hardy showed the telegram to
county Attorney Van Colt, who told him
he did not believe he would take the
natter up whether he will do so later
m remains to be seen. There are a great
many in this city and vicinity who would
earlv love to see the rogue brought to
Justice.
