Although Hugh Rippeto dislocated his
leg some time ago, he gave a very cred

pleased the spectators.
John P. Thomas, the beneficiary, gave
an exhibition of club swinging. which was
very entertaining, and then La Rue, a
soldier from the post, and a ham named
Stewart were introduced for q sX-round
contest. The man who told Stewart he
could box ought to get twenty years, for
Stewart could MT spar for wind. La Rue

Afterwards both men accompanied by
their hackers, met, but adjourned until
2 o'clock today without arriving at any

SCHOOL ELECTION AFTERMATH
TALK OF coNTEsTING YoUNGs
ELECTION IN THE FOURTH.
On Ground That He Is Not Legal
neutrality-suspicious. Abandon
Contest In Rich County.

Those who figured actively in the
school elections in the contested wards
occupied themselves yesterday in tell
ing how it was done. Those on the
winning side told of the heroic work
they had done, how they outwitted the
enemy, the clever tricks they played
and the funny incidents of the election.
The losers, of course, were disaDDoint-
ed, but, after all, the disappointment
was not so keen as might have been
expected, and in a day or two 1T viii
have worn off and be forgotten.
There is talk of making a contest on
3. S. Young in the Fourth, on the
ground that he has not been a resident
of the precinct long enough to be quail
flied to be member of the board of
education Section 1899 of the revised
statutes provides that every member
of the board of education shall be a
qualified and registered voter in the
ward which he represents on the board.
The indictments, with a view of max
ing q contest, are investigating Mr.
Youngs record in regard to length of
residence and registration. He former
Iy resided in the First precinct and
later occupied the old McCune resi-
dence in the Third, but it is authori-
tatiVely stated that he has been long
enough in the Fourth to acquire legal
residence and is a duly qualified and
registered voter.
The malcontents in the First and
Fourth precincts took some pains yes
terday to explain why they ignored the
action of their conventions and at the
very last hour put candidates in the
field Those in the First say they ran
Symons to take away strength and
workers from Walker in the Second,
because Critchlow needed all the help
he could get and good workers had to
be placed in the First, who otherwise
would have been in the thick of the
fight for Walker. The insurgents in
the First also claim they feared an
influx of illegal voters from the First
to aid Walker in the Second, and the
fact of there being a contest in the
ward where they belonged made it i'm
Derative that they vote there.
The malcontents in the Fourth say
they ran a candidate in opposition to
the regular nominee because the Nor
mons in the First and Second had
broken faith by putting up opposition
candidates with the object of giving
the Mormons control of the schools,
and in case the regular nominees had
been defeated in the First and Second,
the election of Mcmillan in the Fourth
would have divided the membership of
the board equally between Mormons
and on-MormonS.
The excuses put forth by both sides
are generally considered rather fimsy,
but it's over now, and the disposition
is to let it be forgotten.

John Thompson Sentenced.

John Thompson was brought in i'm
mediately and after arraignment plead
ed guilty. He was allowed to speak in
his own behalf, and stated that he was
p years of age and had been convicted
of petit larceny at Vernal, for which
he was imprisoned one day and fined
$50. He asked the court, in passing
sentence, to take in consideration that
he had been confined in the county
Jail seven months in waiting for trial
District Attorney Whittemore added
a word in his favor, saying that his
plea of guilty would be a saving to the
government and that the property
stolen was small in value.
Judge Marshall, after considering his
youth and previous confinement of
seven months announced that the SEN
tence would be imprisonment in the
state penitentfary for two years and a
fine of $50. After receiving sentence he
was taken out to the pen by an officer.
Thompson is a Texan by birth and
his occupation has been that of a cow
puncher. His citizenship in the vicin-
ity of Vernal has been of brief duration.
Mr. Whittemore requested an early
date for the arraignment of Eckstein,
Davis and Noe, and Judge Marshall
fixed Monday next at 10 a. m.

SHORT LINES NEW SCHEDULE.
viii Advance Northern and Western
Mails Twelve Hours.

The contemplated change in the mail
and passenger service Of the Short
Line from Salt Lake to the north and
from Granger west, as exclusively an
nounced by The Herald yesterday, will
be a matter of great Importance to
Salt Lake. BY this proposed change,
the trains for the north will leave here
in the morning, instead of in the even
ing, as at present. This will enable
the Salt Lake morning papers to reach
all of southern Idaho one day ahead of
the Denver papers, which now reach
that section the same time. Thus the
people of our neighboring state to the
north will get the news fresh and not
have to wait until 1t is day old.
Another important feature of this
change will be the delivery of eastern
mails in Portland twelve hours ahead
Of the present time. The Chicago mail,
which arrives at Granger on the Over
land Limited No. L. in the morning,
does not go west until evening, a loss
of over twelve hours. BY the proposed
arrangement, the Short Lines west
bound will connect with the overland
train at Granger and carry the mail on
without delay.
The postoffice department first took
the matter I'D with the railroads, and
the Short Line has agreed to make the
change
The Oregon Railway & Navigation
company has not been heard from yet,
but it is expected that it will arrange
it's schedule SO as to connect with the
Short Lines train at Huntington.
1t is thought the change will be in
augurated Immediately after the holt
days.
The Union Pacific is also making
some important changes in it's mail
service, to which reference was made
by The Herald d day or two ago. The
two overland trains have been making
very slow time because of the heavy
equipment necessary on account of the
enormous traffic. The change involves
an additional train service and the re-
suit will be a great Improvement in
the time.

THE SALT PALACE.
Public Meeting to Be Held at the
Theatre.

The committee having in hand the
salt palace project are ready to report
that it is an entirely feasible one, and
will from now on work to the accom-
plishment of the plan proposed several
weeks ago. Colonel n. w. Clayton was
seen yesterday, and estimated that the
cost of the building would be in the
proximity of $4,000.
Experiments along the lines of the
various methods of building have been
made, and today the committee will
pass upon the miniature structures and
call meeting for Saturday, at which
time the matter will be put into definite
shape. A public meeting in the Theatre
will probably be held one day next
week and an effort be made to inter
est the public in the enterprise. Funds
will doubtless be raised by public sub
scription.
AS before stated by The Herald the
scheme is to conduct sort of carnival
during the three months time the pal
ace is open, and in this way attract
large crowds of excursionists from the
east and west. The railroads have sig
nified their willingness to reduce rates,
and it is believed the season will be
made grand success.

THE BLIZZARD AND POLITICS.
Cold Weather Had a Decidedly Stag
Mating Effect.

The blizzard which ragged Yesterday
had chilling effect upon senatorial
candidates and managers. None of
them were in a mood to prophesy or
even vaguely indicate how many votes
they would have on the first, second,
or on any ballot at all. Those of them
who are in the habit of making claims
of gains from day to day failed to do
so yesterday, so it. is presumed that
everything remained in statu quo
Few of the members of the legislature
were in evidence and the day in po-
litical circles was decidedly idle.
Ed Luce and Fred Leonard were in
consultation regarding the senatorial
interests of Frank J. Cannon, but they
had nothing to give out and thought it
was too early in the campaign 20 in
