In TIMMONY'S COURT

James Woodman and J. w. Savage,
who mixed up on First South Tuesday,
appeared before Judge Timmony and
gave vivid accounts of the fray, to the
intense amusement of a large and en-

fight; I'll plead guilty"
Savage pleaded not, and gave his
reasons:

us was an entire stranger to me. No
marks on either of us, you know Why,
sir, this is remarkable. L never saw

Chief Hilton and Officer Sperry told
of seeing the men in an embrace, but
didn't know whether it was brotherly
love or superlatiVe belligerency. At any
rate. "a crowd gathered to witness the
greeting and see the business on

Alumni and alumnae of the Univer-
sity of Utah, to the number of three
hundred, gathered last evening at the
university to enjoy their thirteenth an
nual reunion.
AS the shadows were deepening be-
meath the great old trees of the cam
pus the first of the guests began to ar
rive, and the corridors and class rooms
of University hall were soon thronged.
There the old grads of twenty years
standing mingled with those of later
days, and the good fellowship which
comes of owning one alma mater
bridged the chasm of years and put all
on common and friendly footing.
The early hours of the evening passed
quickly in informal chat. "reminiscences
of old days, and tales of happenings in
class room and campus were revived
and lived over again, and the halls and
crowded stairways rang and hummed
with the buzz of conversation until, at
1885, the strains of a lively march
came from over the stairs and the
guests moved to the banquet hail.
The tables were spread in the art
gallery on the third floor of University
nall. The great room was festooned
with bunting, the unsightly blackboards
were hid by tapestry or draped with
national flags, and the long tables
were scattered over with cut flowers in
profuSion. a menu, which left nothing
TO be desired, had been prepared by
Wilson, the caterer. 1t was as follows:
