lost him a special train to Ogden to-
day and the attendant business there
of, while w. S. Evans of the Rio
Grande Western won.
1t happened this way:
There are numerous members of the
Masonic fraternity in this city who
had expressed a desire to attend the
funeral of the late S. S. Schramm at
Ogden today and wanted cheap rate
and a special train, but did not care
to antagonize either road. So it was
suggested the road select men to toss
a coin to see which line should run the
special Mason was selected for the
Short Line and Evans for the Western,
and they met and decided 1t.
Mason took the lucky coin from the
cash drawer and spun it in the air.
'Tail," shouted Evans, and tail 1t was,
which gave the Western one horse. "
Then Evans took the coin and spun
it. Tail" yelled Mason, and tail it
was
The third and last time, Evans had
first choice. AS the coin went buzz1ng
through the air. Evans again shouted
tall and again did the bit Of money
come tail upwards, and the Western
had won.
Chester went back to the office, VOW
ing he would file that coin in some
way so he would stand a chance here
after, and Benton got ready to sell
tickets, while Evans was given two
hours lay-off as a reward for his
ability.

SUED FOR DAMAGES.
Mrs S. T. Pearson Made Defendant
In a Case.

In case.
Everyone remembers the time when
Mrs. S. T. Pearson fired a shot at Grant
Smiths dog, killed it and sent the bull
let through the animal into the leg OF
J. P. B. Newett, the father-in-law OF
Grant H. Smith. Both parties owned
dogs. Grants dog was a fighter, and
the dog owned by Mrs. Pearson
thought he was fighter, too. but ne
wasn't. for Grants dog used to walloD
him every time he met him, although
to the credit Of Mrs. Pearson's pup, he
never said die, but chewed away just
as if it was his first attempt
Mrs. Pearson got tired of having her
dog licked, and announced she would
slaughter Grants dog the first time he
licked her dog again. The time came
soon. Grants dog and Mrs. Pearson s
dog came together in Smiths front
yard Grants dog got an ear-hold on
Mrs Pearson's dog, and would not
quit when the referee yelled break
away" So Mrs. Pearson got her gun
and walked over. Newett had got
Grants dog away, but that cut not a
bit of figure. Mrs. Pearson shot Grants
dog, the bullet going through the ami
NAL and sDlintering the bones of his
leg. He sued yesterday for $3.50 dam
ages and costs of suit.

NICHOLS CHALLENGE.
He Wants to Meet Romney-Willard
Bean Willing.

Over on the Tribune is a misguided
youth named Nichols, who labors I'M
der the impression he can set type, be-
cause at one time he was tolerated on
the Denver News, which sometimes
runs as high as ten columns to the
page. He wants to set type against
W. G. Romney, one of The Herald
composing room force and yesterday
addressed the following arrogant chal-
lenge:
w. G. Romney: Hearing from diff
ferent sources that you would like to
meet one of the Tribune push" in a
typesetting contest, l hereby give you
the desired chance and challenge you
to a contest on linotype machine, solid
nonpariel type, for a SIS purse and a
side bet Of SIS, or a $50 purse and a $50
side bet, whichever you prefer; contest
to take place in either the Tribune office
or The Herald Office, to be decided
later, or if satisfactory arrangements
cannot be made here in this city, will
agree to meet you in Ogden or Den
yer or any other old place, the con-
test to be of seven hours duration. My
money is ready at any time. Now, here
is your opportunity. This challenge is
open to any one of The Herald COM
positors should you fail to come to
time Would like to have you set a
date and place where can see you,
soon. 1 am as ever,
c. A. NICHOLS.
Mr.. Romney will doubtless accept this
challenge, because he can defeat Mich
OILS in a gallop. Romney is the swift
est man west of the Mississippi, and
when work has been rushed up stairs
has several times set $1,000 ems an hour
for four hours in order to get the pa
per TO press on time. Nichols boasts OF
only 1900 ems per hour and has made
that only two or three times in his life
for fifteen minutes at a time. Just as
soon as the machinist gets a machine
Seared UP to the proper speed, Mr.
Romney will make reply. AS matter
of fact he does not know what his ca
pacity is, but it is thought he will ex.
! coed his record in this contest and rake
down Nichols simoleonS without trou
/ bic. There is only one sentiment which
initiates against the match. There i.
a cold winter coming on, and as Mich
OILS is a married man and will have tt
buy coal, it is feared this match ma!

Bank Charges Fraud.

Columbus, O., Dec. ia special to
the Dispatch from Toledo, o., says the
Merchants National bank Of Baltimore
has commenced a sensational suit in the
United States court against the Ann
Arbor railroad and Wellington r. Burt.
The bank alleges that while Burt was
receiver of the road, through fraud
and gross deceit he received an order
of foreclosure and sale of the road.
and formed a syndicate to buy in the
property, valued at $4,000, 600, for ST.
100000. The petition AYERS that while
receiver Burt formed a syndicate to
buy bonds and then sold them at a
big advance. 1t then charges that the
purchasers of the road at once bonded
it for $1,000. 600, and issued $1,000, OOo
common and preferred stock. and asks
the court to vacate the order of fore
closure and sale. The Baltimore bank
is a creditor of the road.

cHA1RMAN NO LONGER.
Hartman Now Sole Head of Union
Pacific Directory

The position of chat, nan Of the board
of directors of the Union Pacific has
been abolished and Mr.. Pierce, who
has held that position through the try
ing period Of reorganization, is now
free to devote all his time to the legal
department of the road. This change,
too, indicates that E. H. Hartman,
chairman of the executive committee,
will have full sway and will alone rep
resent the directory in supervising the
MANAGEMENT of the road. While the
latter position is the main one of re-
sponsibility, the chairman of the board
has in some measure shared the duties
of the management, which now VIII
fall on the shoulders of Hartman
alone.
The change was made at the recent
meeting of the Union Pacific directory
in New York, when a set of resolutions
appreciative of the services rendered
by Chairman Pierce We're adopted and
the office forthwith abolished.

Politeness Brings a $4,000 Legacy.

A young lady in a department store
has just ia en- heir to $1,000. The money
was left i-c- by an eccentric old lady
who was re ated with great politeness
by the young woman when shopping.
Her joy was as great as her surprise
when the money was given her. Sur
prise and joy will be the lot of many
ether people if they take Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters when suffering from
malarial fever, ague, loss of strength
and appetite. The Bitters make the
weak strong, tone up the stomach and
assist digestion. In bad cases of dys-
pepsia the cures it effects are truly re
markaIble. 1t is a palatable medicine. If
you feel "out of sorts" try a few doses
of these famous Bitters.

is being pushed right along, and the
project has given an immense stimulus
to the whole of southern Utah. The

Ore and Bullion Rate.

There has been much talk about an
increase in bullion and ore rates from
Utah to the east. From the highest
authority it is learned that the matter
is not yet settled and will not be for
several days. A prominent railway ofi-
cial in position to know, said the pres
ent outlook was the increase would not
affect Utah and therefore all this talk
and scare is premature.
At any rate no definite statement will
be reached for several days.
