the consistency of leather, and lunches on
on broken bottles, tacks or ten-penny
nails with seeming impunity. He doesn't

easy to explain why the Golden Medical

No matter how pure the food, If the

There is one important feature about
Golden Medical Discovery which can
not be too strongly emphasized. 1t con-
tains no alcohol or whisky. no opium or
narcotics, neither sugar nor syrup which

Twenty years ago the commercially

somewhere between sixteen and nine

wild district is so weird, so fantastical-
ly wild as the narrow canyon of Tres
Alamos. Securely hidden i'll the noun
tain Businesses. it is the most forbid
ding of all the many gulches with
which the region abounds. Vegetation
is almost absent. But three evidences
IF what more favorable ground might
do n present. These are the three
cottonwood trees which give the can-
yon its name. The rocks which COM
pose the sides and floor of this strange
canyon are what are known as con-
slomerate among prospectors. They
contain Il badly mingled mass of mate
rails. including the precious metals.
but they are so fcarfully mixed that
they are useless for any scientific pur-
pose. Few men have ventured into
the canyon, still fewer would care to
remain longer than necessary to drink
of the spring which gushes out of the
rocks at the roots of the trees.

The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-03-27

About o'clock yesterday afternoon
Chief of Police Arthur Pratt walked
into the police headquarters to take
charge Of the department. Matt Rhodes,
who has been acting as sergeant in
charge for several months past, was
not in the station at the time, but in a
few minutes he came in. Chief Pratt
then handed him the following commu-
nication from the mayor:
Arthur Pratt. Esq, Chief Of Police,
Salt Lake City:
"Sir-The supreme court of the state
having decided that you are chief of
police of Salt Lake City you will at
once resume charge of the police de-
partment, and perform the duties of
your office.
THE officers and men of the depart
ment are instructed to govern them
selves accordingly. Sergeant Rhodes is
hereby instructed to deliver to you the
keys of the office and desk of the chief
of police, and to report to you for duty.
Respectfully, JOHN CLARK,
Mayor"
Upon receiving the above order Ser
geant Rhodes turned over the keys and
vacated the Office which he has held
during the enforced absence of Chief
Pratt The change was made quietly
and to one who did not expect it there
was no visible change in the affairs at
the station. Sergeant Rhodes will now
resume duty as a sergeant and will
undoubtedly take the afternoon shift
today, from p. m. until II p. m. Officer
Seigfus, who had charge of this shift
during the time Rhodes was in charge
of the department, will now go back TO
his regular beat.
