SCRAP BETWEEN VHEELM|EN
CHAPMAN ARRESTED FOR AS
SAULTING A TRAINER.
Another Rider Was Trailing Behind
Chapman's Pacing Tandem and
the Latter Objected.

There was an event at the Salt PAL
ace bicycle track Monday afternoon
not on the programme, the same being
a. row of interesting proportions be-
tween Chapman. the rider, and q. F.
Hanson, trainer for Edmunds and Jul
ius. Chapman, it seems, hired tan
dem to pace him while training, and
Monday afternoon was following the
usual routine, going like a whirlwino
around the saucer, when EdmundS and
his trainer appeared. As Chapman
passed on the twenty seventh lap, Ed
munds fell in behind to get the benefit
of the very swift pace set by Chap
mans tandem propellers. The profess
sional didn't like it. He was paying
for the tandem, and maintained an ex-
elusive right to it's advantage, He,
so Hanson says, fell back and tried to
foul Edmunds, but the latter darted
ahead and escaped the threatened ca
tastrophe. Hanson looked on, much
amused, and shouted out at this partic-
ular iuncture: Good boy, Eddie"
meaning that Edmunds had made a hit
with him in getting away from Chap
man. The latter was touched. When
he came around to where Hanson was
standing, it is alleged that he dis
mounted and made a pass at the
trainer, not without effect. Hanson
measured the tape in a very undigni-
fed manner. Not content with the per-
Torrance, Hanson claims that Chap
man tried to borrow a razor to do
some carving.
The trainer told Prosecutor Diehl the
story yesterday, and swore to a COM
plant charging the wheelman with as
sault and battery. Chapman was ar
rested, and left $40 for his appearance

Great things are expected from the
fuel feeders or smoke consumers which
the American Stoker company has con-
tracted with the board of education to
install in the heating plant of the Low

name, are successfully in use at the
Pleasant Valley Coal eompany's coke

1t is claimed for the American stok
ers that they effect economy in con-
sumption of fuel. generate the maxi
mum OF heat and burn rather than dis
charge smoke, which is really fuel in
an imperfectly cremated state.
The stokers for the Lowell school
building will cost S1.221, but the con-
tract requires that full satisfaction be
given the board OF education before the

rainfall The days were warm
and the nights cool, the mean tempera-
ture being slightly below normal. No
injurious frost occurred. Threshing

Davis, Salt Lake and Utah counties, but
is still in full progress in other sections.
Spring wheat has made good yields in
Cache, Salt Lake and Utah counties;
in other sections the yields have ranged
from light to fair. but the quality is in
variably good. The lucern- crop being
harvested at the present time. in some
localities the second and in others the
third, is generally light. Corn is being
cut in some of the central counties.
Some fall blowing and planting has
been done in Davis and Utah counties,
but the ground is too dry for working
and a good rain will be necessary before
much of this can be done. The digging
of sugar beets is now in progress. In
Salt Lake county the yield is not so
great as last year, but the quality is
better In Utah county the yield is
generally up to the average, although
some localities report that the tonnage

DOESN'T WANT THE JOB.
Raleigh Won't Be Deputy Sheriff at
Sixty Dollars.

Sheriff Howells said yesterday that
he would not permit George H. Raleigh
to serve as deputy sheriff at a salary OF
$50 per month. which is all the county
commissioners seem disposed to allow.
The sheriff submitted Mr.. Raleigh's
name with a recommendation that he
be employed at a salary of SIS monthly
Raleigh does not want the place at
$50" said Sheriff Howells, and 1 don't
want TO make him work for that. He
is an experienced officer, and it would
be a degradation to him as well as to
the Office to compel him to work at the
reduced figure. No, 1 haven't decided
as vet whether l will submit another
name or rot
The reason Sheriff Howells wants an
other man is TO fill the vacancy caused
by the resignation of Nj. S. WooNey
when the latter was elected county
commissioner. He says the work is too
heavy for his present force.
