SPENCER cLAWSON'S MISHAP
WELL KNOWN MERCHANT FRAC-
! TURES HIS ANKLE.
Pony Ran Away and Mr.. Clawson
Was Trying to Protect His Sons
From Injury.

A deplorable accident befell Spencer
Clawson, the wholesale dry goods mer-
chant, at o'clock last evening, while
driving on First North street with his
two sons, Curtis and John Mel, in the
boys pony cart. Mr.. Clawson sustained
a fracture through the right ankle, but
his injury is not necessarily serious,
except that it will confine him to MS
home perhaps for several weeks.
Curtis was driving the pony, which
took fright at a Warm Springs car at
the intersection of West Temple and
First North streets, and started west
on brisk run. The young man being
unable to hold him, Mr.. Clawson
grabbed one rein and turned the ami
NAL toward the sidewalk finally bring
ing him to a standstill. The pony
started to kick and had demolished
the dashboard, when Mr.. Clawson, in
his anxiety to save the two boys from
accident, stepped out of the rig to
catch the pony's head. As he alighted
on the, ground his ankle turned, with
the unfortunate result.
The pony continued on its rampage
and gave the remaining occupants a
dangerous twirl into a lane next to the
Seventeenth ward school house when
Curtis succeeded in stopping him. A
carriage conveyed Mr.. Clawson to his
home, where Drs. Pinkerton, Wright
and Chauncey Benedict attended his
injury.
The runaway pony has on several oc
casions manifested an ugly disposition,
and has been considered unsafe for the
SoyE to drive ~

STAYS IN STATE TREASURY
UNIVERSITY APPROPRIATION
TO REMAIN WHERE 1T Is.
Attorney General Bishop Hands
Down An Opinion In Which He
Sustains the View of the Auditor

Treasurer Hills of the university
board of regents will not be allowed TO
handle the legislative appropriation for
the university unless he takes the
matter into court and gets a decision
in his favor. Yesterday Attorney Gen
eral Bishop advised Auditor Richards
that his attitude in refusing to issue
five warrants for $4,000 each at the
request of the board was correct
Judge Bishop reviewed the situation
eXhaustively in his opinion and came
to the conclusion that the university
appropriation is subject to the same
rules as those respecting the drawing
of the biennial appropriations for other
state institutions. That is, the board of
regents must show that work has actu-
ally been done before ii will be allowed
to take any money out of the state
treasury.
Auditor Richards was greatly pleased
when he received the opinion. He said
he thought it covered the case very
completely and that it would save the
state some interest money. The uni
veTsity fund can be used, he said, for
other purposes now, and the state, with
plenty of money in the treasury. will
not be required to borrow money TO
meet its contingent expenses
