THE BOY BURGLARS.
They Will Be Arraigned In Police
Court Monday.

The eight young boys Of tender years
who were arrested Friday night for
stealing liquor from the cellar of the
California Wine company, We're given
an examination by Assistant County
Attorney Gunter, who will prepare
complaints and cause them to be ar
raigned in police court at p. m. Mon
day. The boys, who range in age from
s to IA years, were very frank in con-
Tossing the crime. The apprehension
was made through the confession of
Ernest t'ulmer, living at 247 South First
West street, who was picked up by Po-
iiceman Roberts for stealing boxes. He
proved a star witness and gave away
the liquor steal. He admitted that he
and Willie Rhode1 OF 157 South First
West street used ice prongs to break
through the adobe wall OF the wine
cellar, and took out a keg of brandy,
which they broke open with an ak.
Much of the liquor spilled on the
ground, but they saved some in cans
and drank it. Willie Smith, who lives
on Main street, between Second and
Third South, and Will and Henry Rob-
inson. living behind the Board of Trade
building. said they pulled a keg of
blackberry wine out OF the cellar one
Saturday night about q month ago.
Frank Mono, who also lives behind the
Board of Trade, and has worked at the
Kenyon, said he saw the key in Rob-
inson's house, but denied having helped
steal it. He and his little brother, Al
fred Mono. are held. however. for TAX
ing part in the burglary. The police
say Mrs. Robinson locked the door
when they went after the boys, and it
is thought that she knew the liquor had
been stolen. Johnny Maginetti, the
youngest, and only years OF age, said
he was not present when the liquor
was stolen, but would have taken a
hand had he been around.
In regard to the saddle stolen from
D. c. Richardson, 235 West Fourth
South street, the Fulmer and Smith
boys said they stole it from the barn,
but declared that Frank Mono
prompted them to the act and gave
them SO for it. All Of the boys are
held in the city Jail, except Maginetti,
the S-year-old. and Alfred Mono, II
years of age, who were allowed to so
home.
Manager Woolf of the California
Wine company said that the keg of
blackberry wine is worth $19, and the
domestic brandy, $25. He had not OBJ
served the burglary Of the storeroom
until the matter was reported by the
police.

Another Bad Bow.

Yesterday was reported a clever trick
on the part of boy 10 years of age,
who obtained goods from William
Woods meat market and Beesley &
Brownings store on Market Row, stat
ing that he had been sent by a lady in
the Constitution building who had an
account with both firms. A second at
tempt to make a purchase aroused the
suspicion of w. c. Bowring, who start
ed off with the boy to the Constitution
block to find the lady At the arch
way next to McDonald's candy store
the boy gave him the slip. Bowring
failed to catch him at the time, but
later he was apprehended, although not
prosecuted, as the mother made good
the amount, which was about 81, at
Beerley & Bowring's. 1t is stated that
he worked Bowring & Davis on Main
street for about 81 in goods the same
way.

CLEVER CHECK FORGERS.
Reaped a Golden Harvest, But Are
Now In Jail


New York, March 4.-Three young
men who constitute part of a gang
of clever check forgers, have been ar
rested at Newark, n. j., and the leader
of the gang, Michael Lehr, has made
a confession. The other two arrested
are Joseph Miller and Michael Franks.
They all claim New York as their resi-
dence.
Lehr is a marvel in his line of forg-
ing signatures. He has been at work
for the past four years. He claims to
have done all the check writing and
the gang has worked scores of cities
throughout the country. They began in
New York and got numerous small
sums of money from merchants, from
the National Park bank, the Fifth Ma
tionai and the Astor Place bank with
out being discovered. Then they went
to Camden and Toronto, then to Bal
timore and from there to Boston and
other New England cities. After a tour
through New York state, taking in
number of smaller cities, they went out
west, being particularly successful in
Cleveland.
Two of the members, according to
Lehr, are now in prison, one Charles
Miller, serving a term of four and
half years in Sing Sing and the other,
Samuel Miller, serving two years in AL
lentown (Pa.) penitentiary, they having
been caught passing forged checks.
The three members of the gang who
We're arrested today have been followed
for a long time by detectives.

Still More Counterfeiting.

The secret service has unearthed an
other band of counterfeiters and Sc
cured d large quantity of bogus bills,
which are so cleverly executed that the
average person would never suspect
them of being spurious. Things Of
great value are always selected by
counterfeiters for imitation, notably
the celebrated Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters which has many imitators but no
equals for Indigestion, dyspepsia, con-
stipation. nervousness and general de-
bility. The Bitters sets things right
in the stomach, and when the stomach
is in good order it makes good blood
and plenty of it. In this manner the
Bitters get at the seat of strength and
vitality, and restore vigQr to the weak
and debilitated. Beware of counter
feits when buying.

JACK MAY WINS
The First Round In the City's Suit
Against Him.

In the case of Salt Lake City against
John L. May, formerly treasurer of
Salt Lake City, and his bondsmen,
which was argued on demurrer to the
answer a couple of weeks ago, Judge
Cherry yesterday handed down his de-
cision sustaining the demurrer.
The suit was brought against May
and his bondsmen to recover $4,000
city funds, which Mr.. May had depos-
tied in the Bank of Salt Lake, and
which was lost by the failure of the
bank.
In the answer it was set up that
neither May nor his bondsnen were
liable for money lost in that way, and
that the bondSnen were only liable in
case that May had fraudulently gotten
away with the funds. This was de-
nTurred to. but Judge Cherry overruled
the demurrer holding that the defend
ants should be given a. chance to prove
their allegations, and that the case
should go to trial

The garrison was startled at midnight
Sunday night by a telephone message
to the officer of the day, Lieutenant H.
B. Wilson, that the morning papers
would contain orders that would dis
turb the peace and quietude of the regi-
ment. The guards lost no time in COM
municating this news to their COM
rades in the companies, so that when
reveille was sounded every soldier was
ready to answer here" and commence
specializing on the companies to be Sc
lected for Honolulu. More than one
company commander has indicated his
desire for duty in Honolulu. Vancouver,
Harrison and Spokane are considered
excellent stations. Assinaboine, while
an excellent post, is little chilly in
winter. The regiment has been expect
ing that part of it would be called
upon to do duty in a cold climate from
the fact that when requisition was
made upon the c. NJ d. for rain coats,
buffalo 'overcoats were sent. Eight COM
panies OF the regiment remain in the
United States with three companies and
headquarters at Fort Douglas. Yet it
IS reported that General Shafter wants
two companies and the headquarters at
the Preside of San Francisco. If Gus
tom is followed, the company command
ers will select their stations according
to rank. The inevitable has been ex-
pected and since it has come the regi-
ment is congratulating itself for the

FROM STATE COURT.
Hoytsville Irrigation Company VS..
Ontario Mining CompanY.

The case of the Hoytsville Irrigation
company VS., the Ontario Silver Mining
company, the Daily Mining company,
the Anchor Mining company and the
Silver King Mining company was yes
terday filed in the federal court, hay-
ing been transferred from the Third
judicial district, Summit county. In
this case the plaintiff alleges that it is
the owner of a canal near Hoytsville,
and that water is obtained from the
Weber river, one-half mile below where
Silver creek enters it, forming a part
of the water supply before the defend
ants located mills on the creek. 1t is
alleged that the water has been greatly
injured for irrigation and culinary pur-
poses by debris and poisonous sub
stances thrown into the creek from the
mills. The plaintiff claims damages in
the sum of $4,000, and demands judg-
ment for the same. The transfer to the
federal court is made on the ground
that one of the defendants. the Ontario
Silver Mining company, has its prin-
cipal place of business outside of the
state of Utah.
