JENELRY PEDDLER TRAPPED
CLAIMED HIS WARES HAD BEEN
STOLEN.
Then Officer Sperry Took Him In and
He Was Fined S25 For Having
No License.

Jim Smith, a fake jewelry peddler,
found what he supposed was a good
old sucker in the person of F. ROgge.
a man of years, who enjoys the shade
day after day of the Warm Springs
porch. But Jim ran up against the real
thing, and is now in Jail for twenty
five davs.
They met Friday, and Smith. ap-
preaching the well utilized veranda,
proffered a handful of solid gold rim
spectacles set with diamonds" for the
sum of 81. The old man bit, but upon
rejecting over the transaction, con-
Guided it was awfully cheap, and hast
ened away in Smiths direction to ask
if they were stolen goods. Smith said
yes, hat he had a big cache of goods on
Ensign peak, and the jewelry nan ar
ranged to meet Rogge next day with
an armful of gold watches, etc, to
dispose of in like ann Sure
enough Smith came, but the willy old
customer had officer Sperry in citizens
clothes on the spot. Some more fake
jewelry was sold, a s. bill changing
hands. and Sperry got in his work. The
old man was jubilant over effecting the
capture of the desperate burglar. but
all Smith had in his possession was
some receipts for "phony" jewelry. He
was charged with peddling without a
license and pleaded guilty. Twenty
five was more tina ne expected, but his
plea for leniency was scorned.

WONDERFUL EXHIBITION.
Dogs and Monkeys Perform Like HUI
man Beings.

AS unique and wonderful exhibition
as was ever seen in Salt Lake or else
where may be witnessed at Saltair at
each entertainment this week-the ex-
hibition of Professor Macart's dogs and
monkeys. The printed stories of the
performances of these animals seem
almost incredible.
The exhibitions point a moral-teach
the lesson that love and kindness can
accomplish more and secure better re-
suits than all other forces of mind or
matter.
Professor Macart stands at the very
front of trainers. and his genius is rec
ognized throughout two continents. He
is as devoted to his art as a musicion,
and his wife, a most kindly woman, is a
valuable helDmate. Both have a natu-
raj fondnesS for them. They believe
the dog is a ready reader of character,
and Madame Macart goes so far in her
ove N affection to express the hope
the belief-that he has a soul, and that
somewhere and at some time ne will
find a happier home than is vouchsafed
him here. Both have been in the BUSH
ness many years. vet both are enthusi-
astic today as when they began. x
Professor Macart secures many of his
dogs from the city pounds The prog
ress of education is not so difficult and
tedious as many imagine A few weeks

BUILDING NEW SUMMER RESORT
COTTAGES GOING UP IN BIG
COTTONWOOD.
Salt Lakers VIII Establish a New
Resort Fifteen Miles From the
City.

McGurrin & Co. are at the head of a
movement to establish a new pleasure
resort in the Big Cottonwood canyon.
They have secured an option on a fine
piece of ground just above the power
house. There is room for 100 cottages,
a hotel, stables and all other necessary
buildings. 1t is the idea 10 organize a
company for the purpose of improving
the place. A number of cottages will
be built this m These will be
rented or sold to people who wish to
take an outing there, or vacant lots
will be sold and the buyers may build
to suit themselves. A telephone will
connec the place with the city; the
grounds and cottages will be lighted
with electricity and the grounds Will
be greatly beautified with vegetation,
fountains, etc. The place is but fifteen
miles out from the city, within nice
driving and bicycle distance; stages
run in and out every day and provi-
sions of all kinds can be secured fresh
from the city. Ten men are already in
terested in the enterprise and will push
it along.
