SHEETS MAKES GOOD HAUL
CATCHES TWO MEN ACCUSED OF
BURGLARY.
Both Had Property In Their Posses
sion Which Is Believed to Have
Been Stolen.

Detective George Sheets sometimes
works on the thesy orce a crook al
ways a crook, and when he gets a
chance to put it into execution, usually
makes a good catch. The big sleuth
was sauntering along Second South
early yesterday afternoon, when ne no
ticed couple of fellows come out of
rum alley and precede him along the
street. he recognized one of them as
Henry Lewis, convicted of picking
pockets during the jubilee, and an all
round crook
Accordingly, when Smiths drug store
was reached, he placed the two men
under arrest and started toward the
police station with them. The detec-
tive walked just behind tho two, de-
string as little excitement as possible.
Just as the corner of Main and First
South was turned, Lewis companion,
Henry Wilson, turned on his heel, said
"Good-by. Sheets" and darted like an
arrow through the crowd and down the
middle of the street. Sheets could only
gasp Catch that man." for Lewis, in
order to give his partner a chance.
started to fight, and succeeded in en-
gaging his captor's whole attention. A
jolt on the neck finally quieted Lewis,
and few minutes later he was behind
the bars
Meanwhile Wilson was being pursued
by dozen newsDoys and W. c. Cot
trell. a young man who proved to be
OF great service. Wilson ran through
Teasdel's alley, and, once inside, be-
gan emptying his pockets, scattering
articles all along the route. He turned
south on West Temple, and was over
taken at the Eagle pharmacy and cap
tured by Cottrell, not, however, with
out hard struggle. He was turned
over to an officer. and now languishes.
Young Otte Pathe, a newsboy, picked
UP a sold watch that Wilson had
thrown away anu turned it over TO
Chief Hilton. 1t is a mans hunting
case, and evidently solid. Lewis had a
small gold chain and a ladies' gold
watch on him, the latter having the in
itials. m. E. b." engraved on it. As
yet the owners of the property have not
been found. 1t was first thought to be-
long to Bishop Morris. whose residence
was recentlv broken into, but the
bishop failed to identify it.
There is a probability OF its belong
ing to the Blood family at Kaysville.
Whoever owns it should at once re-
port. There is no question that the
articles were stolen, the police say, and
Lewis and Wilson are suspected of Co
ing some of the recent criminal work
in the city.

Rush of Shoppers In Business

BIG HOLIDAY CROWDS
ALL LINES REPORT VERY BRISK
TRADE.
Purchasers of Christmas Presents
Packed the Stores Yesterday
Florists Smile Over Improved Con-

People Pay More Cheerfully.

Probably the heaviest shopping of the
season was done yesterday. and the
managers of the different stores are of
though il is the last day that people
will have chance to buy, will not go
any heavier.
| The average Christmas shopper has a
horror of having TO buy his presents in
a hurry. 1t is so much nicer to look
over the whole stock of pretty offerings
and then TO choose from them all
suitable present. Imbued with that
idea, large numbers went yesterday to
the stores, thinking that the biggest
crush would not occur until today. Ell

they have almost wished that they had
waited. The old motto, come early and
avoid the rush." seems to have suf-
fered a relapse, and many people are
thinking that il ought to be changed to
come late"
Money Flows Freely.
Money has flowed more freely this
sYule tide season than any other for a
long time past. The merchants have
had larger and better stocks. and they
thoughtfuiness When the lights have
been turned out tonight in many stores
magnificent stocks will look ragged and
depleted through the purchases made
Inroads have been made everywhere
Nearly every establishment has nj
ployed larger forces than they ever did
at any previous Christmas, and the en-
ployees have not been allowed to grow
sleepy through idleness. Great hordes
of tired, hard worked clerks will enjoy
we'll earned rest on Christmas
Big Sales of Flowers.
An evidence of the plentitude of coin
of the realm is made manifest by the
business done in the floral shops. Roses
that go at $3.50 dozen are taken al
most as fast as they can be furnished,
with no complaints as to the prices
charged. Florists say that last year
the same kind of roses went begging at
S2-25 a dozen. When, on Christmas
day, the price was made $3.50, nearly
everyone who came to buy had some
thing sarcastic to say about the exor-
bitance of the florists demands. There
are even those this year who buy roses
that cost SIS a dozen-and they do it
cheerfully.
Everybody Buys Books.
But the greatest trade, perhaps. of
all the stores has been done by the
dealers in books. Everybody has bought
books as presents
When woman purchases a box of
cigars for gentleman friend she lay9
herself open to some funny errors, and
that fact has been exploited in the
comic papers ever since they were
founded. The local dealers say. how
ever, that ladies still persist in pur-
chasing cigars that have. as one of
them expressed it, -Sanpete filters with
Mother Hubbard wrappers" They scent
to have no idea that good cigars
bought by the box, should be worth
over so cents at the most, and 81 is rej
garded as an unheard-of price
