quent and fierce. but no harm was
done. The bout was declared a draw.
A very clever club swinging exhibit
ton by Janitor w. w. Evans followed
and then came a really, truly scrap. At
torney T. f. Wood, a 225-pounder from
Castle Dale, essayed to trim up A. T.
Schroeder the clubs champion boxer.
Mr.. Wood is as broad as he's long, or
broader. His bay window was a
hard target to miss. but Mr. Wood
was surprisingly agile. When Schroe-
der did land on it, a not infreouent
occurrence. Wood would let out
grunt that made the spectators shud-
der.
The rounds were cut to half a minute
each, with a couple of minutes for re-
cuperation. In the second Mr.. Wood,
by a special dispensation of providence,
landed on Schroeder's nose and I'M
corked some '-claret.' The ''bugle' gave
Schroeder more or less trouble during
the balance of the struggle. BY the
time the fourth and last round was
over, Mr.. Woods breathing sounded
like the exhaust from a 1,500-horse-
power engine and Schroeder's bel
lowses' weren't in much better condi-
ton. Janitor Evans. who had con-
scented to referee this bit of unpleas-
antness, cautiously reserved his deci-
sion for one year.
The concluding number was an IL
iustration by JanitOr Evans of the va
rious blows known to puGilism. He
took Mr.. Wanless for his subject and
gave a very interesting exhibition of
swings, leads, hooks, upper cuts. kid

ACTIVITY IN REAL ESTATE
SHREWD SPECTATORS TYING
UP MUCH PROPERTY.
Options Taken On Many Pieces Lo-
Gated Near the Federal Building
Sites-Ready For Boom.

The official records of real estate
transfers by no means represent the
activity in that branch of industry
these days. There is more quiet trading
going on than this city has known for
many days.
This is mainly in the nature of TAX
ing options by those who wish to be in
on the ground floor when the federal
building is located. Those who usually
buy for speculative purposes alone are
now quietly watching for chances to
tie up available property. Then if
the government building comes their
way they will hold the property and
take advantage of the boom; if IL goes
the other way, they will surrender the
property and lose their option.
This game is complicated by the
large number of fine sites offered, and
by the fact that most of the sites are
offered free to the government on the
understanding that when one is select
ed the contiguous property is to be as
sessed in order to reimburse the owner.

Experiment Station Site.

In pursuance of section . Of the re-
cent legislative act establishing a fruit
experiment farm in the southern part
of the state, Governor Wells yester-
day appointed J. A Wright of Ogden,
H. E. Carey Of Provo and John P. SOr-
enson of Salt Lake City a commission
to visit the southern counties of the
state and determine upon a site for
the location of farm for the purpose
of making experiments in horticulture.
Representative McQuarrie of Wash
ington county was the author of the
bill The location will be in the south
ern county or city which shall cede to
the state sufficient suitable land, with
water right such as in the judgment
of the commission will most conduce
to the successful operation of the farm.
The commission is required to make
report of its findings and recommended
lions to the secretary of state within
four months.
For the erection of necessary build
ings and maintenance of the farm for
the two years the legislature appropri-
ated $4,000. The successful establish
ment of the states horticultural ex-
pertinent station in one of the south
ern counties will yield a large measure
of benefit to the fruitgrowers of south
ern Utah, where the opportunities for
successful fruit culture are very great.

suit was filed yesterday in the Third
district court against Stephen II.
Lynch. county treasurer, by George
Gatrell. as a citizen and taxpayer Of

The complaint asks that Mr.. Lynch
be required to account for such sums
as he has paid out as interest, and
that these sums be entered as judg-
ment against him.

Their Information Is Received the

Wichita, Kan, May 6.-Meagre re-
ports reach here of terrific windstorm
that caused great destruction at several
points in southern Oklahoma. The most
serious damage is reported at Ckicka-
sha. Tongawa and Anadardko.
The storm struck Chickasha at $3.50

that half of the town north of the
Rock Island railroad shops. Sixteen
buildings were blown down, and She

house. Sixteen injured persons had been
taken from the wrecked houses up to
6 O'Clock, but only one death had been
reported j. Fl. Murray. Il railroad man,
was dead when taken from the wreck
of building.
Rumors of greater loss of life are
heard, but cannot be confirmed. There
is only one telegraph wire out of Chick
asha. and there is little chance of get
ting a list of the injured tonight.
The storm came from the southwest,
preceded by heavy hail and followed
by a flood of rain. The path of the
storm was right down. ichickasha ave
nue., the main street of the town. and
nearly every building on the street was
either wrecked or unroofed, and the
contents exposed to the rain.
A dispatch received in Wichita from
Tongawa says that IN Canton township,
eighteen miles west. great damage was
done by a tornado. The family of j.
II. Ware took refuge in a storm cave,
which became so heavy from the con-
slant rain that it fell in. killing three
members of the family. The houses of
j. +. Tounel and S. Saunders were
blown TO pieces, and Mrs. Tounel was
badly hurt.
OF the damage at Anadarko, nothing
can be definitely learned. The Rock

in three places, and traffic is blocked.

I am bookkeeper in a large grocery

many people. We find large numbers
of customers who are troubled with

well how to sympathize with them, for

Postum, and / was glad of the oppor-
tunity to try something that would
furnish me with good morning bev-

that coffee did.
The reason some people fail to make
good Postum is that they undertake to
get the good out of the cereals by
few minutes boiling, whereas not less
than twenty-five minutes should be
used in making a good potful of Pos

Daughter of Colonel Egbert Writes
Pathetic Story.
TELLS OF FATAL BATTLE
AS BRAVE IN DEATH AS IN THE
FIGHT.
When General Wheaton Heard of the
Gallant Officers Mortal Wound,
He Sobbed Like Child-How He
Tried to Cheer and Encourage His
Troops.

Cincinnati, O.. May 6.-The CONNER
cial Tribune viii print tomorrow a
touching letter from Miss Bessie Egg
bert. daughter Of Colonel H. c. Egbert
of the Twenty-second infantry, who
was killed while leading his regiment
rear Caloocan. 1t describes his career
and fate in the Philippines. 1t was
dated March %. Speaking of his fu-
neral. the letter says:
The service was just like him-very
simple and sWeet-none of the proIu-
sion of flowers and funeral people.
Describing the battle, the letter
reads:
Saturday night, March %. they
camped on the bank Of the river Tullhu,
and Sunday morning the brigade was
ordered by General Wheaton to take
the town Of Malinta and open the way
TO Palo and Malolos. The town, sur
rounded by stone wall, is on little
eminence.
The church was crowded with the
enemy Before our men got in range
they had to cross the river, and the
surgeon. who was acting as adjUtant,
said that there were plenty of RATS Tor
the men, but papa plunged in with MS
men and the water was up to his
breast
Pierced By Filipino Bullet.
when they got over the general sent
papa an order to take the trenches in
front of the town, and then to charge
the wall and storm the place.
AT first it was hard TO start them,
the fire was so bitter and those open
fields seemed so far across. Papa went
up and down the line. calling to them
TO cheer Chese Fiiipinos are afraid Of
q cheer). and finally he got them
started through the bushes. and just
then he was hit.
THE regiment stopped a second and
the word ran down the line that the
colonel was shot. and then they started
forward like demons. never stopping for
commands or orders. and they got To
the wall and swarmed over it and took
the town before they stopped Papa
lived an hour after he was shot, and
knew before ne died that the town Was
taken.
Wheaton Sobbed Like a Child.
General Wheaton came to him, and
the surgeon told US the general just
sobbed and sobbed He said: 'Egbert
You made a magnificent charge And
papa. lying on the litter. smiled and
said. We took the town, anyway, gem
eral.'
The writer says further along, most
pathetically:
Para was just as he always was
He never had any horror of death. and
tried always to make US feel as he did
that it was perfectly natural thing:
that there was nothing mysterious or
awful about it: We just feel as though
he had gone away for many years and
it is the parting which we feel. Dear
mother is Just wonderful. and is as
brave as papa would have her Her
example has been wonderful one to
everyone. Every man who was with
papa in the field says he knew absO-
lutely no fear.
