HEARD AND SEEN
In TIMMONY'S COURT

| Something unusual transpired in
Judge Timmony's court yesterday. A
girl accused of prostitution showed her
spunk and acquitted herself. She is
Miss NJ. Hiedel, a buxom daughter of
Germany, whom officer Simpson ar
rested on the street Thursday night.
i Miss Hiedel showed her Dutch blood
at the time, and said many uncompli-
mentary things to the officer and desk
sergeant. She produced $40 bail from
| a little gold loclset hanging about her
neck, to save going to Jail, and depart
ed with this: "Oh, I'll be here. I'll
show you fellows that you can't pick
/ up any woman you want to and throw
her in jail
And she did appear, for sure When
she arose in court there was a ver1table
wlirlwind of queries.
Haven't l got the right to walk
along the street when l choose and with
whom 1 choose?" she cried
Whats to prevent me? When I am
talking to a gentleman, is it the duty
of an officer to come up and speak to
me? What right has he goto Isn't this
a free country? Is a lady to be arrest
ed for walking along First South !?
way2 And now, I'd like to know what
this man and this desk sergeant, who
is no gentleman, to talk to me the way
he did, has got to say
Is officer Simpson took the stand. He
said that he had seen the girl stop men
on the street and walk around the
streets and take men to her room at
all hours of the night. Detective Sheets
corroborated him. Then the girl gave
the court another exhibition of indig-
nant pluck, and his honor replied:
s.rrbprp ic M avi6apca n pOpviof fhic
defendant. I believe in the old adage
that it is better to turn loose 1879 guilty
ones than to put one innocent girl on
record as prostitute. The defendant
is discharged"
Officer Chase, who is acting desk
sergeant, is at a loss to know what he
said to offend the girl.
Jennie Johnson, colored, denied her
guilt of the same offense, but having
been convicted in court before was SEN
fenced to pay a fine of $40.

Hartman Controls a Great Trans
continental Line.
SYSTEM REACHES ORIENT
IT CAN DEFY ALMOST ANY KIND
OF COMPETITION.
The Railroad Magnate Has Linked
the Atlantic and Pacific Coasts
and Has Communication With the
Gulf States-He May Bring the
Illinois Central Here.

The chief topic of interest in railroad
circles yesterday was the election Of E.
II. Hartman as chairman of the execu-
tive board of the Oregon Railway &
Navigation company. While the off,
Gals of the Short Line maintained their
characteristic reticence, there is no de-
nying the fact that they are all well
pleased. Outside of the fact that the
Oregon Railway & Navigation, the
Short Line and the Union Pacific Will
be drawn into closer relations by the
election of Mr.. Herriman-for he holds
a similar position with all three roads
there has been effected in his election
Que of the most gigantic moves upon
the railroad chess board that has
Uranspired in years, and one by which
Mr. Hartman will not only control a
transcontinental line Of railway, but a
line of transoceanic steamers as well.
Controls Many Roads.
Mr.. Hartman is chairman of the ex-
ecutive board of the Baltimore & Ohio
Southwestern, and is one of the ruling
spirits in the Baltimore & Ohio. This
gives him lines into Chicago and st.
Louis from the Atlantic seaboard- He
is president of the Chicago & Alton,
which, in turn, gives him a line from
Chicago and st. Louis TO Kansas City.
He is also the ruling spirit of the Illi-
nois Central, which will be in Omaha
by January, and which gives him con-
nection with New Orleans. The Kan
sas City, Pittsburg e. Gulf is now in
the hands of the reorganization COM
mittee, and this MIR. Hartman practi-
-cally controls, so that when all is ma
tured, which will be in a year, he Will
practically have a road from the At
lantic to the Pacific. In addition to this
there is the Pacific Coast company,
operating along the coast from San
Francisco to Portland, which Mr.. Har-
riman also controls, and this does not
include the line of trans-Pacific steam
ers that are to be put on between Port
land and the Orient.
What It Means.
All this means that Mr.. Hartman is
to control one of the greatest railway
systems in the world, No one for a
moment dreams but that the roads will
continue to maintain their independ-
ence, but at the same time they will
work in harmony, and the combination
will be one that can defy almost any
kind of competition. From Omaha to
Portland is at present one system to.
Mr. Hartman, that is, as far as any
of his schemes may be effected, and
with the Illinois Central coming into.
Omaha he has at once line from the
gulf to the North Pacific coast Thus
it can be easily seen the great impor-
lance that attaches to the election of
Mr.. Hartman to the craftsmanship of
the executive board of the Oregon Rail
way & Navigation. In controlling this
road the financial interests that he rep
resents secures the final link in the
great transcontinenta1 system.

Indian Agent Myton is in a peck OF
trouble because the wards of Uncle
Sam who come under his jurisdiction
don't take kindly to the three RS. The
RS don't stand for rum, roguery and
rascality, for nobody would accuse the
untutored savage of an aversion for
those. They stand for reading. 'riting
and 'rithmetic. under the good old
fashioned rule
The little Indians won't go to school,
although Mr.. Myton has begged,
| threatened and implored their parents
to send them. The big Indians take
mighty little interest in educational
matters. They would rather digest the
hind quarter of juicy dog any day
than to spell b-a ba, k-e-r ker, baker,
or any other word. Hence the wrinkles
in the brow of the Great Fathers min
ion in these parts.
Agent Myton Talks.
ct is serious problem with me, y
said Mr.. Myton at the Knutsford last
night. 1.-THE government owns school
buildings and school property in the
Ouray and Uintah agencies that is
worth from 100000 to $4,000. The two
have a capacity of 500 children, but
only about 100 are attending now. The
lnQldIiS seem TO De QeClQ6Qly dNSTSG "
educating their children.
THE officials at Washington seem to
think am to blame in the matter, but
have done all / could to induce the
Indians to send their children to school.
Before / left the agency to come to
Salt Lake l called a council of both
tribes, the Uintahs and Uncompahgres.
l told them 1 would send the police
after their children, and if they didn't
turn the youngsters over to the police
l would stop their rations. If that
didn't work l would send for troops and
take the children by force.
The Indians Objected.
'The chiefs declared they didn't like
for the agent to talk to them that way,
but / replied that. it was not me talk
ing, but Washington. Perhaps one rea-
son for the difficulty is that when the
schools were established the govern
ment gave the parents SIS in cash for
the privilege of educating their chill
dren. That allowance has been cut off,
but the Indians think they should have
it still.
They do have one extra inducement
in the shape of rations. For instance,
in a family where there are three chill
dren, the father and mother draw ra-
tions for five. In addition the children
diC leu, 81 llNC Sct ldtiohS lol SiShl.
Still this is not sufficient for them, and
1 don't know exactly how the trouble
will end.
One Solution offered.
cit seems to me the only satisfactory
solution is to kill off the old Indians.
Then we might be able to do something
with the young ones. Education don't
seem to make much difference with
them. though. I know two young Indi-
ans, a boy and girl. who went to
school for five years. Then they quit
and got married. l saw them a few
days ago with blankets. around them,
on horses. and looking just like any
other Indians.
II don't have any trouble at all with
the half breeds. They seem to appre-
ciate the advantages of an education
and send their children willingly. 1
sent five half-breeds to the Haskell
institute in Kansas short time ago."
