A few lost all their possessions in the
blaze and are homeless and without
means to rebuild or renew business,
and have no way to turn for means of
subsistence. Kind neighborS and SYM
pathiZing friends are attending to
their immediate wants, but the future
stares them in the face with but little
encouragement or hope. The adjuSters
of the different insurance companies
liable for losses and damage are here
and the supposition is that all will be
reimbursed. This is not certain, how
ever, as the inspections are not yet
completed.

SUCKERS FROM WILLARD.
Take a Roll of Money to Provo and
Give It Up Easily.

Provo, July 2S.-Provo was the scene
of little excitement last evening. The
result of fhe affair is that a few indi-
viduals are cinched to the extent or
81, 500, ard this at the expense of two
victims from bennington, Willard
county.
For the past few years couple Of
sports nave made their headquarters
at Payson. One is a man by the name
of Caldwell, all-round sport, and the
other, his companion, is named Whit
lock, who is also a racer and general
smooth citizen.
AS the story runs, it appears that
these two individuals recently visited
the peaceful village of bennington and
laid before the victims. 10 diversion and
his brother, a scheme on which some
of their property friends in Provo bet a
large amount of money, as follows: The
Overso2s were to come to Provo In
company with Whitlock, where they
would match the race between Whit
lcck and Caldwell; the DIVERSIONS back
ing Whitlock and Caldwell'S alleged
Provo friends to put up money on him.
Caldwell was to be beaten, and the
bennington guys to be the winners.
These southern men, who were "2ovuS
homones" in tricks that are vain, ar
rived here last evening in company
the race was arranged. 1t is stated
trat the original bet was $3.50 on the
side. This money was put up. The
DIVERSIONS continued to bet, and each
time, it is stated, they bet their money
against the original stakes. Convey
SnceS were procured, and shortly be-
fore SHUTDOWN a dozen mysterious icdi-
viduals were passing through the west
ern part OF town to the suburbs. The
DIVERSIONS still felt jubilant, feeling con-
fident that they would, on the morrow.
return TO their peaceful village. enrich
ed with Provo dollars.
The race was run, but, alas, to their
sad surprise. Caldwell was victorious,
their friend Whitlock was defeated, and
they were minus $500.
II is stated that they then, for the
first time. realized the trap into which
they had been led. One of the boys
in- mediately sought to retrieve, at the
point of a revolver, his lost money, bit
Caldwell as usual, was ready for any
emergency, and hastily jumped behind
the unarmed diversion and dexterouSly
manipulated him as a portable breast
work at the same tine resting over his
shoulder a revolver which, in the eyes
of the armed diversion, looked like a
rife. Young diversion was then po-
litely requested to drop his gun or for
felt his life as he did his money. 1t is
stated by those who know, that in
stantly one arm extended heavenward,
and the hand holding the gun lowered
to the ground.
The race was over, the money lost.
ard now the DIVERSIONS, sadder but wiser
men, stayed with their Provo acquaint-
ances last night. This is not all. Re-
venge is sweet. Last night the Over
SC ms endeavored to clandestinely take
race horse belonging to Mr.. Woods of
Eureka. and two saddles of Mr.. Lewis,
the livery stable keeper of Provo. it

had some connection with the deal.

this morning. The sheriff was informed
of this fact shortly before the train
left this morning for bennington. The
DIVERSIONS admitted they had taken the
saddles, but denied any intention of
stealing them. Their hiding place was
made known, and as the 9:05 train pull
ed out of Provo for the south the easy
victims left the place of their misfor-
trre, the sDrinters and their hard
earned money.
These are said to be the same indi-
viduals who last summer put I'D a job
on Mr.. Chapman of American Fork and
beat him out of 5000. and who, a short
time ago, secured $500 from Louis Dug
gins in a foot race. and who made sew

Payson had been inveigled.

were recorded at the close of the call,
the business of the hour dragging along

the stock buying public. In fact, bust

fall weather sets in, when brisk re-
vival is anticipated by the members Of

for big dealings later on.
