Ross of Joseph for Sos. The warrant
issued to Bean called for no interest,
but when ne negotiated it to Ross.
Bean wrote upon ii with interest at
per cent from date" Ross later pre-
scented the warrant and the trustees
refused to pay il because of the forged
interest clause; subsequently, however,
they paid the $40 face and Bean paid
Ross the two per cent interest from

admitting that he had made the entry
of the interest clause, but claiming
that the purpose of this was simply a
memorandum and not an attempt to
mislead the purchaser. One thing that

Exercises were held at the Madison
school yesterday in commemOratiOn of
Washington's birthday. While the
friends and parents were gathering to-
getheI in the various rooms, a fire
alarm, not prearranged, was given, and
in % seconds squads of fire boys were
busy unreeling hose and coupling them
together. In one minute and a half the
entire upper floor containing about $50
pupils and teachers was deserted, in
two and a half minutes the entire
school of over $50 pupils, was emptied.
No confusion or excitement was appar-
ent among the pupils and one would
have thought that the pupils were be-
ing dismissed. In five minutes the en-
tire school had returned to the seats

being carried out

SAVED BY HIS FAITHFUL SQUlN
HOW A MURDERoUS UTE MAR
ROWLY ESCAPED DEATH.
Had Emptied His Winchester Into
Cabin Full of White Men, Who
Were About to Retaliate.

Vernal. Feb. 22.--AIbert Davis, whose
father is an old resident in this sec
ton, came in from the strip" this
side of Fort Duchesne, today and
brings the report of a shooting affair
a that place several days ago, in which
he received a bullet in the leg, from
the effects of which he is slowly re-
covering.
1t seems that an Indian named Pheno
came to the ranch and wanted to buy
whisky, which was refused. Enraged
at the refusal, he withdrew from the
house some so yards, and began shoot
ing with a Winchester at the building
There were five men inside when the
fusilade began, and they were kept
busy lodging the bullets that came
through the windows and chinks of the
log building.
Eventually, Davis received the bull
let in his leg, and, Selling a gun, he
dashed out just as the wild Ute had
emptied his magazine gun. Davis
raised his gun to his shoulder, ran his
eye along the barrel. when a sight met
his eye that caused him to withhold
the fatal pressure of the trigger
Pheno had thrown down his gun and
was kneeling down in the snow with
his hands appraised, while. clinging
around his neck, with her body between
him and the fatal bullet, was his faith
full squaw. Upon seeing the danger in
which her liege lord was placed, she
had instantly thrown herself in the
breach, willing to die rather than harm
should come to him-truly an exhibit
ton of love and devotion that has
never been surpassed by fact or fic-
ton.

STATUS OF UTAH PATRONAGE
MR.. WHITE GOT NOTHING AND
EXPECTS NOTHING.
Dolly, Thomas and Cannon Control
the Appointments = Everything
Referred to Senator Proctor
District Attorneyship.

w. r. White of Ogden returned yes
terday from q prolonged stay in Wash
ington, where he has been working and
waiting for a federal appointment. Mr..
White seemed quite cheerful and pleas
ant, though he was disinclined to talk
about his own success or lack of il.
There seemed none OF the bitterness
usually attributed to the disappointed
office seeker, but in general terms he
spoke of the uncertainties of life in
general ard of political life in particu-
lar. Politics, he intimated, is a game
"a game of chance-a game so full of
chances that the most skillful plans
may be overturned by an accident.
Yes" he said, Il came home because
1 was tired of waiting about Washing
ton. 1 regret that did not give up be-
fore. 1 may get something yet, but 1
don't count on it,
What are your future plans?"
II am going to practice law in Og-
den"
Referring to the district attorneyship
contest, Mr.. White, who came direct
applicants were still on the ground urg-
ing their claims. Whittemore professed
a great deal of confidence. Bishop was
working quietly and methodically and
saying little and Richie was not over
looking anything. The whole district
dtlOrneyShlp matter mad Deen, accord
ing to Mr.. White, left with Senator
Proctor Of Vermont, who made a trip
to Utah while the campaign was on,
and was supposed by the national COM
mittee to have learned all about Utah
politics.
Senator Hanna is ostensibly keeping
his hands off the district attorneyship
matter.
Salt Lake leaders of the Republican
party show a tendency to concentrate
all the federal offices in that city and
that is one reason why he thinks the
district attorney will be a Salt Lake
man. J. E. Dolly, A. L. Thomas and
George Q. Cannon are, in Mr.. Whites
judgment, the three moving powers in
directing Utah appointments with the
administration.
In Washington the feeling amongst
public men seemed to be that Utah was
forever lost to the Republican party,
as that party is now organized. In the
early days of the administration. Mr..
White was a candidate for the receiver
ship of the land Office, but his friends
have since had other places in view
for him.

During the last ten days five new

misfortune to lose five horses during
transit, from their being too closely
packed in the car.
Houses to rent are very scarce, and
although new ones are being built, still
many others are needed, for word has
been sent of other families coming in
every week, and they will want some
place to live until they can build new
houses on their land.

putting in many loads of cinders be-
