of Mr.. Hendricks at Schofield and stole
about $50 worth of jewelry and other
stuff. This man was ConnOrs. by his own
confession. This fact is convincing to
many that he is the man who killed
Strong. The general opinion is that Con-
nors, who was seen by several people at
the depot that day. was arrested by the
officer, and he, knowing that a search
would reveal the fact that he was the
Schofield burglar, watched his opportunity
and struck down his captOr. Supporting
this theory is the fact that he carried

killed Strong. One of his shoes was taken

LAKE BREEZE WITHOUT CARS
STREET CAR COMPANY ABAN.
DoNS UNPRoFITABLE LINE.
Carried Out Its Contract With the
People and the Line Has Never
Paid-Jordan Bridge Condemned.

The Lake Breeze addition to Salt
Lake is without street car service
When the car came in and crossed the
Jordan bridge on Second South street
at o'clock on Wednesday evening, the
edict went forth from the Office of the
Salt Lake Street Railway company
that the Lake Breeze line would hence
forth be abandoned.
Two causes brought about this result.
First, the Jordan bridge was pro-
nounced unsafe; second, the line was
not paying operating expenses. Build
ing Inspector Folsom condemned the
bridge and notified the company on
Wednesday, and rather than invest
more money in an enterprise that was
already losing one, they decided to
abandon the line from the Jordan river
out
In 1891 the citizens interested in that
part of town secured a franchise from
the city for line from Sixth West out
to the present terminus. They then
subscribed $4,000, and turned it over
to the Salt Lake City Railway COM
pany, on condition that they would
build the road and operate it three
years. The company carried out their
part of the contract. They gave the
people a .half-hour car service for three
years. That did not pay, and they
changed to an hour service This, they
claim, has never paid. and the action
of Wednesday night is the final out
come.
The Lake Breeze people think that
they have a grievance. They think The
company should abandon the line from
Sixth West or the whole line covered
by the original franchise, and give
them a chance to arrange for service
with the Rapid Transit people They
propose to make some such arrange
ment. In the meantime the Lake
Breeze cars of the Salt Lake City Rail-
way company will run TO the Jordan
river.

There is no part of the world better

comfortable rural homes than Califor-

where a family of moderate means can
make a living more easily. or where
they can enjoy one-half the Iuxuries
that are within their reach in Califor-
MIA 1t certainly is not wise for fam
lily to land there with nothing ahead.
One who has not been thrifty enough
to accumulate a little in other places
would hardly succeed there. But little
capital. however, is required. A small
tract of land, ten or twenty acres is
ample: a few acres in vineyard and a
few in orchard. both carefully selected

to FIVE wears there is assured an annual
