WE'RE RAzzLED.

File a Suit.

According to the complaint fled in
the case of Frank T. GunnelI and r.
B. Whittemore VS.. Edwin G. Brown,
the plaintiffs have been given razzIe
dazzle by the defendant.
The complaint alleges that Brown, on
Oct. TO- 1898. in consideration of the
sum OF $3.50, Ito him in hand paid"
and all that sort of thing, did then
and there, ct cetera and so forth, sell
and convey to the plaintiffs in this ac-
ton, the business carried on under the
name OF Edward G. Brown, manufac-
turer's agent, which carried with it the
exclusive right to handle and sell the
cigars known as the Vera, Macerator
and Helen Elizabeth, also the exclusive
agencies of the houses known as LieVre,
Frick & Co, Pearmean Bros, John
Maulheran, Homer Williams & Co, all
of San Francisco, together with the Of
fee furniture, etc.
It is also alleged that defendant rep
resented he was doing a business Of
$4,000 per year gross and his commits
sions were not less than 500 per month.
That his trade and business We're in
good condition and he only sold out be-
cause Of i'll health.
That relying on these representations
plaintiffs paid $3.50 cash and gave five
notes of 500 for the balance.
They now set up that Brown was only
a plain salesman, had no exclusive
rights and no power TO transfer any
thing, and that Lievre. Fricke & Co.
have denied his authority and refused

The Oregon Short Line will, on Jan.
/, restore the dollars per-car rate on live
stock from points between Dubois and
Pocatello. This announcement, which
was made by Traffic Manager Eccles
yesterday, is Of great Importance to the
stock shippers in the district affected,
as it will do away with the present
system of cents-per- hundred charge,
which has been in so much disfavor by
the shippers along this section.
The new schedule viii embrace the
points from Howard Spur to Dubois.
inclusive, and is as follows the figures
being based on standard cars:
Missouri River.-Cattle, hogs or sheep,
Odouble deck, 1872 per car; sheep, single
deck, $50.
Colorado Points.-Cattle, hogs or
sheep, double deck, $40 per car; sheep,
single deck, $3.50.
The present rate on cattle to Missouri
river points is 6115 cents, with 215O0
pounds minimum to the standard car.
This would bring the car up to $132.22.
On thirty-four-foot car the difference
would be, approximately, $2.15 per car
in favor of the shipper. On sheep the
reduction will be even greater.
The present schedule has never been
satisfactory for the reason, as shippers
claim, the cars have sometimes not
been cleaned out and in many instances
they have been compelled to pay excess
where none existed. Live stock agents
say a fixed rate per car will be more sat
isfactory all around.

SUDDEN DEATH OF JOHN CRAIG
THE WELL-KNowN SALT LAKE
CHARACTER PASSES AWAY.
Heart Failure the Cause-Was En-

noon While hitching his horse to go to
Mount Olivet, where he was engaged in
erecting a vault for Mrs. E. A. Ar

to lie down for few minutes, hardly
giving the matter second thought. He
expired in a short time, surrounded by
his family ana Dr.. Parmalee, who was
summoned, and who pronounced the
complaint heart failure.
The relatives and associates of the
deceased are greatly shocked over the
sad event. To their minds nothing could
have been a greater surprise than the
report that the usually robust and
healthful contractor had passed away

PRINCIPAL FOR SUPERINTENDENT
GROWING sENTIMENT TO PLACE
PROF. AVEY IN CHARGE.
But No One Is Seeking the Place For
Only Short Period-More 4Appli-
cations.


A sentiment favorable to the election
of Professor Oliver H. Alvey, principal
of the Washington school, as temporary
successor only, to Superintendent J. f.
Millspaugh, resigned, is gaining ground
among local educators and friends Of
the public school system. 1t is contend
ed that Professor eAvey's selection
would satisfy all who are averse to
sending outside the state for a super
intendent and, moreover, it is claimed
for the professor, who, by the way, is
not seeking the promotion, that he is
in every way well qualified TO fill the
office. Members of the board of edu-
cation who favor the plan of securing
the services of some local educator of
the required ability and fitness for the
SUPPLEMENTARY, until next June, as
sert that such action would better en-
able the board then to select from the
best, many of whom are not now
available for election. for stated term.
However, it is extremely improbable
that Professor Alvey. or any other re-
ceptiVe candidate, would accept the ten
der for so short a period as six months,
unless it were stipulated that the board
would re-employ the temporary super
intendent, if his brief services had
proved satisfactory. There are few, if
any, principals who want to run the
risk of demonstrating their fitness to
fill the SUPPLEMENTARY and later prob
ably, without sufficient cause, be re-
duced to the former rank.
Some appropriate arrangement will
be made at Tuesday evenings meeting
of the board of education in filing the
vacancy, even for the brief period of
six months, but Superintendent Mills
paugh's Recommendation in the premi-
ses, if it is solicited. will likely go far
toward determining upon whom the re-
firing officials mantle shall fall.
Among the recent applications made
from non-residents for the superintend-
ency soon to be vacant is one from Dr.
w. j. White ex-superintendent of the
Dayton (O.) schools, Superintendent r.
NJ. Van Patten of Bloomington. Ills,
and one from Professor Frank NJ, Jack
of Milwaukee.

HoMFsFEKERs' EXCURSIONS.
Time Extended For Another Three
Months

Western lines have agreed to con-
tinue the homeseekers' excursions from
the east to Utah. Idaho and other states
in this end of the country for another
three months. The Rio Grande West
ern yesterday sent out a rate notice to
this effect
The rates will be as heretofore, one
fare for the round trip, plus 81, the sell
ing dates having been fixed for Jan. 8
and II, Feb. I and u, and March 7 and
q. Heretofore tickets for the return
passage have been executed on Tues
days and Fridays, but commencing
with the above dates they will be exc
cuted on any day within the final limit.
Stop-over of fifteen days is allowed go
ing, but the return passage must be
continuous.
These homeseekers' excursions have
proved very popular during the last
few months, and hundreds of people
have visited the west who would other
wise have stayed at home, many COM
ing out to locate permanently. When
the question of continuing the excr-
sions came up at a meeting of western
passenger agents at Chicago last week
they were all in favor of extending the
low rates for another three months.
