c. H. Newell of Fruita, Colo. in COM

yesterday on their homeward journey

here by Mrs. Newell, who is overjoyed
at again meeting her husband and son.
Mr.. Newell was seen at the White

We arrived in that country nearly two
years ago. and went direct to the
Grand Forks, which at that time was
a place with one hotel and a few shan
ties. We had s42 in our pockets, and
spent $40 for two TASKS of whisky, and
started out on our hunt for gold. We
located a few claims and sold every
claim we got. Finally we put up a

Patrolman Benedict D. Siegfus from
the force
From last weeks meeting the two
reports of the committee on police were
called up for consideration. the ma
pjority report, signed by Councilmen
Allen. Buckle and Robertson. favoring
the reversal of the chiefs action, and
the minority report, signed by Chair
man Howe and Councilman Fednstrom,
recommending concurrence in the &C
ton of dismissal.
Speaking for the adoption of the ma
jority report. Robertson mentioned the
trial of Siegfus on the charges of hav-
ing induced a pawnbrOker to buy
stolen overcoat in order to catch the
thief and return the coat to Mr.. Hop
kins. the owner, and attempting to de-
ceive the chief While disliking to set
his Judgment against the chiefs, Rob-
ertson had in mind the fact that the
patrolman had for nearly ten years
been an efficient and trustworthy Of
ficer.
The evidence was conflicting. and
Councilman Callister's deep interest as
against Siegfus prompted him to con-
Guide that. in justice to the accused.
he should be retained
Councilman Allen submitted that
there was nothing in the evidence to
show that Siegfus had acted other than
indfscreetly.
That the dismissed policeman was
guilty of the charges. Chairman Howe
did not doubt In his opinion, Siegfus
was not a fit man TO remain on the
force. and he believed the police de-
partment is no place to show leniency
to offending patrolmen.
Buckle stated that the accused should
be given the benefit of the doubt.
While inclined TO favor 'McGinty.
Fernstrom appreciated the fact that
the council could not afford TO assume
the responsibility of retaining the ac-
cused and overriding the expressed VIII
of Chief Hilton

partment Diehl favored the minority

Yachting.
COLUMBIA IS A FAST BOAT
AGAIN BESTS THE DEFENDER
AT NEWPORT.
New Cup Defender Is a Far Better
Boat to Windward Than Old De-
fender.

Newport, r. L, June 27.-In a good
sail breeze the new cup defender
Columbia and the Defender, champion
more thorough test of their relative
speed than in the light air of Sunday,
and again the new boat proved that in
windward work she could both outpoint
and outfoot the older craft.
Both boats carried main sail. fore
stay sail. jib and working top sails
and for an equal length of time the
two used small iib top sails. The
steady southwest breeze was just
strong enough TO heel the boats pref
tily. The racers beat to w1ndward IN
a general southwesterly direction for
almost two hours, and Travelled ten
miles toward Block Island from Blen-
toms Reef, and when she was eased
off for the run back the. Columbia was
between two and three minutes in the
lead.
At 1890 o'clock the Defender jibed
the boom over to starboard. The wind
began to die down about this time. and
at O'Clock the helm was put amidship
and the Columbia's great white spin
maker was sent -aloft. When everything
was ready a pull on the tackle broke
out a couple of stops and hhe wind
catching in the canvas spread the
enormous sail for the first time. Des-
pite the fact that the breeze had fallen
off considerably Columbia took a jump
and Travelled along at ten knots an
hour under the great spread of canvas.
The spinnaker was used but a few
minutes when orders We're given to
take it in and it was down and the
boom on deck in 3 minutes and 10
seconds from the time the order was
given.
The Defender did not run back to
Newport with the Columbia. but re-
manned outside cruising up and down.

Gus teams in the city were looking

their distance from town it is next to
impossible to get the crowds to go out
TO midweek games.

with W. \. Nelden of the Salt Palace
association yesterday. From him it was
learned that the Salt Palace manage
ment is willing to carry out the plan
proposed some weeks ago and build
a baseball field at Ninth South and
Main streets just as soon as the base
ball men will take hold of the matter
and rustic sufficient subscriptions to the
Salt Palace company's stock. The COM
pany agrees to fence the field, erect

If one takes the trouble to carefully

Grape-Nuts food for two or three
weeks the facts will be brought out
that gradually there comes over the

The mind works clearer and more ac-
lively when it plays upon brain that
is refreshed, rebuilt and properly con-
strueted by the food elements intended
by Nature for such work.
This is a profound fact regarding
