FRITZ SPR|NGMAN'S NERVE
WILL ATTEMPT THE FEAT THAT
HOFFMAN FAILED IN.
Attempt to Garry a Keg of Beer From
Fishers Brewery to Wagsner's
This Afternoon.

There is going to be another beer
carrying contest along the streets OF
Salt Lake this afternoon, if the au-
thorities do not intervene.
When Hoffman threw his keg down
at Sixth East street last Sunday af-
ternoon. Fritz Springman lost a good
big sum of hard-earned cash. He de-
. cided to retrieve the loss, if possible
and today will essay TO carry the key
himself over the same route mapped
out for Hoffman.
Springman is the man who success
fully performed the feat seven years
ago, and he thinks he can do it now.
He has pocketful of greenbacks and
gold TO wager, and already he has
found many takers. Lorenzo HiteS-
man, in the employ of the Fisher
Brewing company, put up $135 against
him yesterday, and a good many small
er bets were recorded.
If there is no interference, Spring
man viii start from Fishers brewery
on Eighth West street at o'clock
this afternoon, and, according to the
agreement much reach Wagener's brew
cry, at the mouth of Emigration can
yon, within two hours and ten minutes.
The keg is to be an eight-gallon size,
and must weigh not less than 100
pounds. The key selected by Spring
man weighs exactly 101 pounds.
L have walked the distance in one
hour and thirty minutes" said SPRING
man, at the police station last night
whittier he went to consult Chief Pratt
and l have money to wager that
can carry that key within the stipu-
lated time
Springman is a dwarf alongside of
Hoffman, and, to judge from appear
ances, one would not pick him out as a
man able to carry a 100-pound keg one
block. But he has performed the feat
and thinks he can do it again.
Chief Pratt objects to having the
exhibition take place, but it is not clear
how he can stop it. Technically a man
has right to carry a keg of beer
along the street any time If serious
opposition is manifested, however, the
performance may be postponed until
some later day.
Late last night the promoters of the ex-
hibiton announced that it would not take
place today, Chief Pratt refusing to grant
week.

The question arose some little time
ago as TO what disposition should be
made OF fines imposed in the district
court in cases which had been appeal
ed from judgments in the police court
for violations of the city ordinances.
The city authorities claimed that such
fines should go to the city treasury
while the state contended that all fines
imposed in the district court should be
turned into the state treasury.
The point arose in the case of Saloon
keeper Dahlstead, who, after appealing
from a judgment in the police court,
was fined $50 by Judge Norrell in the
district court for selling liquor on Sun
day and the money was turned over
to the clerk of the court, who held it
pending the decision as to whom it be-
longed
Opinions on the point of the DISPOSE
ton to be made of the fines We're rem
dered by both the attorney general and
the county attorney. who both agreed
that such fines ought to go TO the city
and. in accordance herewith. the coun-
ty commissioners ordered the money re-
ceiYed from Dahlstead TO be paid to
the city treasurer. There are quite a
number OF other cases of similar kind
which viii follow the decision in that of
Dahlstead.

MERRILL PLEADS GUILTY.
Appears to Have Been Prolific In
Wrong Doing

John Merrill, Il youth of IT, who was
charged in Justice Nielsen's court with
obtaining 81 by false pretenses by sell
ing a borrowed bicycle to T. J. Byers
pleaded guilty and was held to the dis
trict court in $50 bonds, with view OF
his being committed to the reform
school. He failed to give bond and is
now languishing in the county Jail.
Hardly vas the above charge disposed
of when NJ. J. Thomas came along
with another complaint charging Mer-
Till with the embezzlement of a watch
of the value OF $40. The accused plead
ed guilty to this charge. and Justice
Nielsen ordered him held for trial in the
district court.
Joseph A. Stanton, son of eX-F'ire
Chief Stanton. also had a complaint to
make against Merrill, stating that the
youth had defrauded him out of a $50
watch. Mr. Stanton, however, when he
found that there We're already two
complaints lodged against Merrill, let
the matter go for the present and took
no action in the matter.
Merrill lives with his parents on First
West street, and has been in trouble
of similar nature before, and his
father. who is a very respectable man,
thinks the reform school is the best
place for his hayward son.

PROFESSOR DoBRANIcH's CASE,
The Boys Get Off With a Severe Rep
primand.

The trial of the three boys. Roy,
Garrett and Tommy HUles. aged I, 10
and IS years. for disturbing the peace of
Professor D. O. Dobranich, by stoning
the doctor and otherwise seriously all
noying him, was resumed yesterday
morning before Justice Sommer and a
jury, and occupied the forenoon. The
jury returned a verdict of not guilty,
but recommended that the court repri-
mand both the defendants and the pro-
feSsor. His honor however, thought it
would be inconsistent to roast both
parties, and confined his structures to
the boys, who, it is certain, made them
selves very annoying to the professor in
many ways, and may consider them
selves very lucky that they escaped as
easily as they did.

remains full of nOthingness.
No orders relative to mastering out
