SAYS FELL AMONG THIEVES
FRED SIMPSON FOUND WITH HIS
THROAT CUT.
Claims He Was Attacked By Two
Robbers On a Rio. Grande West
ern Smoking Car.

A middle-aged man who gave the
name OF Fred Simpson was picked up
at Mounds, near Sunnyside, on the Rio
Grande Western by, passenger train
yesterday morning, his throat being cut
almost from ear TO ear. He laid out
in the cold all Wednesday night, and
had all but persisted. He was brought
to ST. Marks hospital on No. last
night.
1t is a startling story that Simpson
tells. When taken aboard the train.
he related that two men had assaulted
him on the smoking car of train NO.
Wednesday night, rObbing him OF ome
silver and overlooking some goId in
another pocket.At Mounds he leaped
from the moving train, and the robbers
followed him. They pounced upon MIN
for second time. but still did not
find the gold. He says they then drew
a knife across his throat and left him
for dead.
The story is discredited. In fact, a
telegram from a Rio Grande Western
special agent says that no attempt at
robbery occurred on the train, and that
Simpson viii be found to be partially
demented. The opinion is that he tried
to commit suicide, but failing, put up
the story of the robbery.

Among the significant advances in

and coffee. the former of which con-
stitutes one of the, largest articles of

long time the sugar men have been
credited with ability to secure favors

LIVESTOCK IN DANGER
DrOuth In the South Is Affecting
Cattle.
BISHOP ANDRUS TALKS
TELLS OF CONDITIONS IN HIs
SECTION.
Fears That If Sheep Owners Attempt
to Winter Their Herds In the
Desert They Will Be Heavy Losers
Next Spring On Accent of the
Unprecedente5 Scarcity of Water.

The stories which stocixmen bring
from the southwestern cad of the
state concerning the drouth and the
lack of range feed for cattle and
sheep show that a desperate situation
not only confronts cattle owners but
sheep owners, too. Two reliable stock
men who were here yesterday. Bishop
James Ahdrus of ST. George. and A. c.
Campbell of Garfield county declared
that there was grave apprehension
among the sheep owners in Washing
ton, Kane, Sewer, Wa.ne and Garfield
counties.
1t has been known for some weeks
that the cattle must be taken out OF
these counties because there was no
winter range for them. And there has
been an exodus TO markets and TO
ranges in other parts of the state.
Bishop AndruS, himself one of the
heaviest cattle owners. declared that
at least 20 Der cent of the cattle in
Kane and Washington counties had
been sent out. The great drowth which
has dried and parched the grass of the
ranges and left no desert lakes where
cattle can get water has made it i'm
possible to let them run the range dur
ing this winter.
Sheep Are Afflicted.

and can go longer without food and

become better known opinion is chang
inS.
THE sheep men in Washington and
Kane counties where hundreds of
thousands of dollars are invested. are
alarmed said Bishop Andrus, at the
Cullen. They fear that their sheep
will never be able to stand the winter
and many of them have endeavored to
take them to other ranges or bring
them to market. Those who winter on
the ranges are taking desperate
chance and they know it. BY next
spring thousands of skeletons may. be
found upon the desert and on the hill
sides.
They realize that cold damp weather

GOVERNOR WELLS TALKS.
Executive Favors Senator Rawlins'
Proposition.

Governor Well was asked yesterday
to give his opinion of Senator Rawlins'
resolution. In reply he said:
In view Of the charge so frequently
made that the people of Utah or a
portion of them have violated q. certain
compact under which 1t is alleged the
state was admitted into the Union, l
am inclined to think the investigation
of a senate committee or a committee
from both houses would be a good
thing. Since the whole question was
reiegated 20 congress by a majority of
The voters of the state in 1898 there
will always be misunderstanding and
heartburnings until the intent of that
tribunal is made perfectly clear. To
some it may seem like threshing old
straw over again, but from recent
utterances of people both in and out
of Utah 1 am convinced that an in
vestigation if thorough and impartial,
would clear the atmosphere and enable
Us all to determine upon a proper
course IN future.
1T ought to determine not only
whether a compact has been violated,
but also whether men who had a
plurality Of wives, taken before the
manifesto, have a right 10 continue
their marriage relations and also
whether or not such men are eligible to
hold Office and especially seats in con-
gress. 1t would also fix the response
bility for the dilemma in which Utah
seems to be engulfed and exonerate the
innocent l believe also that it would
spare US the humiliation of an amend
ment to the constitution which every
good citizen of Utah should seek to
avert as it would constitute a blot
upon the good name of the state that
time could never efface."
The scope of Senator Rawlins' reso-
luton is practically limitless. It will
probably go to the committee on
judiciary when it is introduced. Should
that body report favorably on it. and
the resolution be adopted, sub-com-
mittee would likely be appointed. This
committees duties would naturally
bring It to Utah. Then would ensue
the taking of testimony on the lines
of the resolution and on such other
lines as the committee might see fit
to take w.

BAD NEWS FOR FIENDs.
Price of Cocaine Increased From
$3.50 to Gas An Ounce.

New York. Nov. SO.-Persons who are
accustomed to buying cocaine have
been forced TO pay much more for it
recently than the normal price In
fact, the drug has risen from $3.50 an
ounce 70 s6.25 an ounce in the last few
months.
This is caused by the revolution in
Peru. That South American republic
raises practically all the raw cocaine
that the world consumes. 1t is manu-
featured from the leaf of the cocoa
plant, and 10 supply the demand in
this country the dry leaves are either
shipped north and the drug manufac-
tured here, or a coarse native product
made from the leaves in Peru isbrought
here and refined by improved process.
The revolution has prevented the
gatherers of cocoa leaves from shipping
their product to Lima. the principal
market. hence a short supply and an
increased price. The Indications are.
however, that the top notch of the rise
in prices has been reached. as Peru
shows signs of settling down again, for
short time at least.

in the early spring means the death
of thousands of sheep. If We have a
dry winter followed by such a spring
the sheep having become thin and weak
will not be able to Withstand the wet
weather. This is the thing which the
sheepmen fear.
No Desert Water.
1.-THE direct way in which the drouth
has affected us is by the lack of water
on the desert. In rainy seasons lakes
form out on the desert and there is
feed around them so that the water is
near at hand. Now there are no lakes
and where there is water the feed has
been eaten of to such a great distance
that 1t is almost impossible to reach
water
Mr.. Campbell. who is at the White
house. gives ar account which agrees
with that of Bishop Andrus. He said
that the condition in Wayne and Gar
field counties is serious. There is no
water and no feed except in the
Henry mountains. The sheepmen have
become so frightened that they are
securing the country for winter
ranges
They are being driven from all di-
rections of Garfield county TO hunt
winter ranges" said he. Heretofore
many thousands of sheep have been
wintered in the Pahreah district in Gar
field county and Arizona. but men who
have gone down there say that there
is no grass and they won't send their
sheep down. But many thousands are
being driven to the Henry mountains
in Garfield county. There is Mr.
Bagnal of Sanpete county. with three
herds, Hatch of Panguitch with 5000
head Henderson of Price with two
herds, ]. L. & Warren Seeley with two
herds. Arck Campbell with three herds.
and six or eigth other herds whose
owners 1 don't know. and my own
three herds, all of which have already
gone to the Henry mountains
There seems to be no other place
for sheep TO feed than in these noun
tains and ] believe that all who fail
TO get in there will sustain heavy
losses It's going to be a very dis
astrous winter"
