WEEKLY HEALTH REPORT.
Slow Progress In DISCRIMINATING the
Dreaded Contagion.

The health department is making but
slow Roadway stamping out contagion
in the city. Two weeks ago the number
of scarlet fever flags outstanding was
twenty-one, and yesterday eighteen

antine. There are no other cases of
contagious diseases known to exist in
the city, and only one case Of typhoid
fever is in the report, and this case of
infection was brought from Tooele
county. However, it is known that
there are eight cases Of scarlet fever
and one of diphtheria outside the city
limits, that that number of cases was
reported to the municipal health office
last week. The city's health report for
the week shows, also. that the deaths
numbered ten, exclusive of three bodies
brought from outside the city for in
terment The births reported were
seven males and twelve females.

Trial-Pete Neilsen's Case.

Loa, June 1.-For the first time since
Aug. 4. 1898, a term of the district court
was held here today. with Judge McCarty
presiding. Notwithstanding the fact that
we have had no court for so long. still
there was practically nothing for his
honor to do when court did convene to-

ii disposed of, gossip says, for the rea-
son that two other weddings are Ringing
on the result of the case, but things un-
doubleday have gone awry, for the par
ties failed to show up and the case is
still pending.
An order was made authorizing the
clerk to do the necessary advertising and
sell at public auction the two north lots
of the public square. The proceeds will
go toward improving the other two lots
of the square. Undoubtedly a Mormon
Westinghouse will go up on one of the
lots sold.
Pete Logan, alias Pete Nielsen, for
whose arrest Governor Wells offered a
reward of 500, was present and entered a
plea of not guilty OF grand larceny.
Neither of his attorneys, G.. L. Bean of
Richfeld and Judge w. II. King of Salt
Lake. was present, nor was Prosecutor
Chichester. but a stipulation was on file
specifying. that without their presence
the defendant might be arraigned and his
plea taken. with the understanding that
said plea might be withdrawn at any
time, so that the issues may. be made up
and the case set for trial. The case was
set for Sept. is, next. Nielsen has pro-
cured bondsmen and is now at liberty.
Court adjourned till Sent is.

TOO SE1im,i A DIET.
Franklin Spencer Becomes Vegetar-
ian and Dies.
Especial Correspondence


Richfield, June 3.-From parties who
have recently returned from Mexico it is
learned that Franklin Spencer. who left
here for that country about twelve years
ago. died last March. The circumstances
of his death are rather peculiar. Both he
and his wife had become imbued with the
idea that vegetables We're the only proper
food, and confined themselves solely to
that diet. They gradually wasted away
until both virtually died of starvation.
Mr.. Spencer was an early settler of San
pete county and lived at Manti for num-
Der of years. In the early '10S he moved
to Salina, in this county, and was elected
bishop of that ward. He served In that
position until elected president of Sewer
stake. in 1877, when he moved to Rich
field. He held this position for ten years,
when he was succeeded by Bishop Thur
Der. and moved TO Mexico. He was a
member of the legislature of 1SS4-S5.
Mr.. Spencer leaves a wife and several
children, most of whom reside in Provo.
Mrs. Maud Layton, late county recorder
of Sewer county, is Il daughter, and
Frank Spencer of Provo, husband of the
recorder of Utah county, is a son.
