NATE EXPERIENCE.
Officers Did All They Could to Help
Him, But Tt Looked For Time as
If He Would Die.

Charles Winston. a transient from
Portland, Ore, passed night in Salt
Lakes old city Jail that he will not
soon forget. He was arrested on Com
mercial street by Officer Roberts on
Tuesday evening for peddling "phony"
jewelry without a license. About 2
a. m. the man was seized with an cpl
leptic fit. lasting over a period of fif-
teen minutes. The officers rushed out
to the Jail and worked over him. being
relieved finally to see the man open
his eyes. But he had scarcely recov-
cred when another fit came on and it
was with more difficulty that he was
revived A third followed, and genuine
alarm was felt. City Physician Keogh
was summoned and did all that he
could for the sufferer, but the fourth
and fifth commissions came in quick
succession.
Winston looked a physical wreck
when he appeared in court, and was
sent on his way He says he is sub
ject to such spells, and that he seldom
gets through them without six or eight
fits. He recently came out of a hos
pital.

PLEASANT GROVES PROTEST
CITIZENS TAKE ACTION IN ROB-
ERTS CASE.
Course Pursued By Congress De-
nounced By Speakers and Spring
vile Resolutions Adopted.
Especial Correspondents,

Pleasant Grove. Dec. ia citizens
meeting to take action in the Roberts
case was held in the city hall this even
ing, which was largely attended. al
though the call was not widely circu-
lated. Judge Whitecotton of Provo
and James Clark OF American Fork
were present. The meeting was called
to order, after which Jonathan Harvey
was elected chairman. The call OF the
meeting was then. read.
The resolutions which were adopted
at Springville were then read and
adopted without a dissenting vote
The first speaker of the evening was
Judge Whitecotton. He began by tell
ing about the experience he had while
in Washington, and the idle curiosity
there is there concerning B. II. Rob-
erts. He said that the point raised
against Mr.. Roberts is that he is
charged with having a plurality of
wives and that 50 per cent of the con-
gressmen would not vote to unseat MIR.
Roberts were 1t not for the fact that
they wish to please their constituents
and be sure of reelection. While in
Washington two weeks ago he met
some of the storm starters from Utah.
Mr.. Whitecotton criticised some OF
these men. Especially did he go after
T. c. Tiff Tiff and Owen walk down
Tic SlicClc VI w tOlA III IA q ~
He said the precedent established by
congress- was a dangerous one and he
believed that congress could not afford
to establish it.
Before closing, Mr.. Whitecotton. told
of the pure, womanly character of Miss
Ada Roberts at Washington. He ex-
pressed the belief that her name would
go down in history as one Of the best
of virtuous women.
The next speaker was James Clark
Of American Fork. He stated that he
had come over for the express purpose
CT ratifying the Springville resolutions
and to protest against the cowardly
action of the house in trying to unseat
Roberts. He stated that he would
vote to return Roberts, even if con-
gress should unseat him.
Mayor William Z. Clark made few
vigorous remarks, in which he urged
the necessity of the citizens of Utah
protesting against the recent action of
congress
The first three speakers were Demo-
Gratis. They were followed by James
T. Thorne, one of the strongest Repub-
leans in the town. Mr.. Thorne stated
that he worked against and voted
against B. II. Roberts. but that he
would now protest against the action
of congress.
A motion was then carried to the
effect that copies of the resolutions be
sent to Congressman Roberts and Sen
ator RaWlinS

With reference TO the complaint made
by Councilman Siddoway about the

Der suit in the public building after in

evening that from the care exercised
by him and his aides and the thoror gh

danger of frequenters of the city and
county offices catching the disease

Nevertheless. to appease the whims
OF the councilman and others. DIR.

Family of Councilman-elect Heard
Funny Noises-A Scare, That
Was All.

The residence of George Canning, the
newly elected councilman, at ass West
Third South street, was the scene of
considerable excitement last night
about $3.50, the family having heard
mysterious noises in the basement of
the house. 1t was telephoned in to po-
lice headquarters by Mrs. Canning, in
the absence of her husband, that there
was a burglar in the house
The response was made by Sergeant
Brown and Detective Sheets, the patrol
wagon, with Marsena Cannon on the
box, making the fastest run in its his
tory to the scene.
A search of the house was made from
cellar TO garnet, but not a sign of Mr..
Burglar was found.
"Spooks,' was Sheets verdict, and
the return was made in mourning.
Crowds along Second South were at
tracted by the coming of the wagon,
and learned to their surprise, no doubt,
that the old jag box can get over the
ground when it has to. The run was
great sport for those in it.
