The new train service for Cache VAL
ley was finally decided upon yesterday.
The new time table shows a morning
train out of Salt Lake and an after
noon train out of Preston, (which is
practically the same service as the one
in effect just before the recent change.
The through train will be restored,
leaving here at a m. and arriving at
Logan at 1l:45 a m. Returning it Will
leave Preston at las and Logan at 3
p. m. arriving in Salt Lake at $40 p. m.
This service will doubtless prove
satisfactory TO the great majority of
the travelling public, but does not please
some of the business men who favored
a service that would permit them TO
make the trip to Salt Lake and return
in one day.
Isaac Smith, one of the presidency
of Cache stake, and prominent mer-
chant of Logan, was in the city yester-
day waiting on the Short Line officials,
train on the Cache Valley branch that
would leave Preston in the evening and
make connection with the northbound
Butte express and lay over in Cache
Junction all night to take mail and
passengers from the southbOund Butte
train, then return to Logan early in
the morning. Mr. Smith did not re-
ceive much encouragement from the
officials and it is probable that the
present change will be the only one
for the present.
The new train will be put on just as
soon as the cars can be secured, which
will probably be tomorrow morning,
but it may not be for day or two.

COMPLAINT AGAINST TANNERi
EZRA THOMPSON WANTS IT
CLOSED DOWN.
Files a Damage Suit Against the
Rowe, Morris, Summerhays Com
pany, and Asks For Injunction.

Ezra Thompson wants to close up a
hide factory because of its odOr, and
he also wants $1,000 for the damage,
which, he says, the odor has already
accomplished. Mr. Thompson lives
with his family az No. 500 North Sec
ond West street, and the hide factory,
owned by the Rowe, Morris, Summer
hays company, is in the neighborhood
of his property. He owns altogether
81. 900 worth of property about the fac
tory.
He maintains that the odorS arising
from the factory have not only caused
sickness and are very offensive, but
have damaged the value of his prop
erty. He alleges that said defendant
now does and for long time has oper-
ated and worked said hide treating es-
tablishment, and that in operating it
putrid and rotting hides and pelts of
sheep, and, as plaintiff believes, of
other animals. are put through certain
processes of steaming and sweating
which cause many and various often
sive. sickening and unhealthy odors. -
The complaint declares that sickness
has been caused, and that the stencil
from the establishment has become so
great that il is almost unbearable.
In addition, he not only wants the
place closed up permanently, but asks
for a restraining order to stop the de-
PENDANT from operating the establish
ment during the time the suit is pend
ing The attorneys are Dey & Street
and w. II. Bramel.

LETTER FROM MAJOR YOUNG.
Writes to General Burton About
Work of His Men.

A letter was received yesterday by
General Charles S. Burton from Major
Young. 1t was dated May IA and was
in part as follows:
OF course, you know, in part. what a
merry time we have had here since Feb.
4. / have not slept without my trousers,
shoes and stockings on more than once, once
been toilsome and our nights much as
turbed. Personally, | have been In over
twenty-five engagements, besides oelnS
under fire numerous other tunes, Wheii
we were not replying. Our batteries nave
shot away between 8. 500 and 1000 rounds
of ammunition. We have blown out vent
after vent and have had 10 have new
breech blocks on several of our guns. We
have had eleven men die, eight killed ana
three of natural deaths, and we have mad
seventeen or eighteen wounded me rec
ord would have been much greater had II
not been for our wonderful luck and the
fact that there has always been a part or
the command lying idle for the time
guarding some weak but threatened part
of the line. On one of CritchlowS guns
at Bog Bog the other day two men were
killed, one had his knee shot away, TWO
were struck with spent bullets, and the
piece was struck in several places. AT
the same time corporal on another piece
was killed. and shortly after another man
wounded Such work as that IS nearly an
initiating. We have commanded the
what shall say?-admiration OF the divl-
sion time after time; our boys have taken
our guns, all exposed, up to WITHIN even
sixty wards of entrenched mgSers, DuI
of all this | can better tell you some even

Lieutenant MAYORS report was next.
He told of the life at Camp Wearysome
where he was in command of the sec
ond platoon of battery b, after March
8, relieving Lieutenant Hines. Prior to
that Lieutenant Naylor was on the
Laguna de Bay with Major Grant He
says the soldiers under him could not
be eXcelled.
Lieutenant Hines told of some en-

which time his platoon had not been in

Lieutenant Seaman's report came
last. His statement was along the
lines of communications made by his
brother officers, and concluded with
these words:
Il commend the bravery and excel

guns from the train and went into
action as promptly under heavy fire"

UTAH A LAW-AB|D|NG STATE.
MISS CARTER SURPRISED BY
NUMBER OF CoNVICTS.
Fewer Criminals Than In Other
States-Flower Day at the Peni-
tentiary-Good Programme.

When Miss Carrie Lee Carter accom-
panied the w. c. I. U. women to the
penitentiary yesterday afternoon and
one woman prisoner within its walls,
and only $50 men, she expressed great
deal of surprise.
The conditions in your state are
very different to those of any other
with which L am familiar" and Miss
Carter quoted long list of statistics
that prove that very small percent
age of the citizenship of Utah belong
to the criminal class. The little cele-
bration of Flower Mission day by the
good women who, every year, remem-
Der the ''shut-ins," whether they belong
to the criminal class or are simply
sick and unfortunate. was much en-
joyed by the inmates of the prison. The
men had taken their places in the
chapel when the visitors arrived. A
song and prayer service, and a little
talk by Miss Carter preceded the dis
tribution of flowers. Mrs. McNiece
read a chapter from the Bible, He
brews 8, and Mrs. Spence offered
prayer. The musical part of the SER
vice was in charge of Mrs. E. E. Shep-
erd, who was assisted by Misses Liz
zie Davis, Edna Beeman and by Mrs.
Goodwin.
Miss Carter followed with a few
words of hope and cheer to the men.
She dwelt on the great iniquity of the
liquor traffic, and spoke of the wine
that is mocker, promising health and
happiness to those who use it, and
bringing instead death and destruc-
ton.
The flowers were distributed under
the direction of Mrs. Rathbone, each
man receiving beautiful bunch with
little Scripture card tied with white
ribbon attached.

SCHOOL BOARD FAILS TO MEET.
Demands of Councilmen On Sites Are
Criticised

Criticised.
The board of education meeting call
ed for last evening was not held, be-
cause less than a quorum put in an
appearance. President Nelden and
Messrs. Critchlow. Bamberger. New
man and Wilson were the only men,
bers in attendance. The principal
business of the meeting was to ratify
actions agreed upon in committee, as
announced last week in The Herald. A
special meeting will be called for Mon
day morning at 10 o'clock to open bids
for the heating and ventilating plant
for the Emerson school building.
Relative TO the demands of certain
members of the city council in the ne
gotiations for the proposed exchange of
properties with the city so that the
board of education may obtain the
waterworks shops and stable grounds
as a site for a school building, mela.-
Der of the board said last evening that
rather than yield to the city councils
unreasonable demands he and his col
leagues would break off negotiations
and levy tax next year for the pur-
chase of some other site. He did not
believe the people would relish the plan
of increasing the taxes to buy land
when the taxpayers already owned the
desired site. which, in the interest of
economy, fairness and the schools
needs. could and should be exchanged
by the city for other property owned
by the school branch of the municipal
ity

JENNIE AND HER DIAMONDS
SALT LAKE WoMAN's STORY AT
SPOKANE.
Mrs. Tenant Had George Barlow
Arrested-Well Known to the Salt
Lake Police.

Mrs Jennie A Tenant, formerly Of
this city, is being extensively adver-
tised by papers of Washington. and
Oregon, because of her alleged loss Of
81, 800 worth of diamonds and $1,000 in
cold cash, while travelling from Salt
Lake to San Francisco. She followed
one George S. Barlow, a real estate
dealer of Salt Lake" all over the coast
and finally had him arrested for the
theft in Spokane. Barlow, she claims,
was acting as her agent with power
of attorney, and, she says, did all kinds
of crooked work while in that capacity.
The police of this city, however,
know Jennie Tenant as we'll as any
one. The current issue of the Spokes-
man. Review, which devotes a column
and a half to an interview with the
lady, furnished more fun than bar
rel of monkeys at the station.
Mrs. Tenant met the prisoner, it re-
lates, and handled her missing valises,
which were found in his possession.
and which were supposed to contain the
stolen valuables.
Strange to say" continues the arti-
Gle. the four valises at police head
quarters were not opened and exam
ined, as it was announced they would
be on the arrival of Mrs. Tenant.
What they contain of value, II any
thing, remains a surmise."
This apparent Indifference on the
part of Mrs. Tenant is something re-
markable. Il don't believe she had any
jewelry," remarked a local officer. In
fact, she told me before leaving here
that her husband stole the last diamond
she ever had and soaked it.
In the interview the woman says:
Some time ago my husband deserted
me in Salt Lake. But before he dis
appeared, he had been i'll for time
and was unable to attend to the bust
ness involved in the property l owned
in Salt Lake"
The only piece of property Jennie
owned, so far sas known, was house
on West North Temple, which recently
was sold under a mortgage. She had
some jewelry at one time, but between
her and her husband it didn't last long.
being disposed of in pawn shops and
sold outright. Tenant married the
woman, the police say, while she was
an inmate of Kate Flint's pioneer
house of ill fame years ago. They look
upon the reported robbery as huge
fake, though Mrs. Tenant, in closing
her interview, is quoted as saying Bar
low confessed the crime to her. She
was very indignant over an intimation
that she and Barlow had contemplated
marriage.

A great many people in this city will
| learn with sorrow and regret of the
death of Abram Gould, or Abe" as
he was Familiarity called, which oc-
Cured at Salem, n. Y, Thursday
night.
Mr. Gould had been in poor health

1884.
His friends here knew him as a quiet,

suffer from lack of fuel in Salt Lake
while Mr. Gould managed the coal
wards. if he knew it. II was his Gus

hundreds of tons which he sent to hos

chasing agent of the Union Pacific and
Iron Mountain Railroad companies:
Although he had many opportunities
TO become rich. he never aspired TO De
a wealthy man like his brother, but
contented himself with spending Ills
income in bringing joy and happiness
to his fellow men.
