EAGLEMAN'S STIFF SENTENCE
TIMMONY'S WARNING TO SEC
oND HAND DEALERS.
Fine of 500 and Imprisonment For
Three Months For Receiving Stol-
en- Goods From Boy Burglars.

The sentence of the. court is that
you pay fine of $1OO and be confined
in the county Jail for the term of three
months"
This. by Judge Timmony to Sam En-
gleman yesterday, upon the latter he
ing convicted of receiving stolen goods.
is note of warning to second hand
dealers. The court so stated.
Engleman is proprietor of the Sec
ond-hand Coop. on State street, and
received from his delivery boy, Tim
McKelly, one of the watches stolen
from Shapiro's pawn shop two weeks
ago. The evidence showed that young
Synagogue one of the confessed boy
burglars, sold it to McKelly for %
cents. and the latter gave it to his
employer for safe keeping" Engle-
man took it to his home, and on the
stand denied knowing the watch mad
been stolen. Other testimony showed
that he told the officers first he had
never seen the watch, but afterward
produced it. In the face of conflict
ing testimony, the court held that In
gleman did know where the watch
came from, saying, before passing SEN
tence:
Your statement that you took this
watch from McKelly without asking
any questions, will tell you frankly 1
do not believe. Il is too unreasonable.
And, as 1 have said on other occa-
sions, in order to stop boys frcm steal
ing like this, we must stop men like
you from receiving stolen goods.
The court warned McKelly, who is
is years old. that unless he mends his
ways he will land in the penitentiary.
Engleman, who is represented by At
torney James Smith, gave notice of ap-
peal.
Mrs. McDermott, for receiving stolen
goods, was also tried. Her son testi-
fed to giving her one Of the Synagogue
watches and she stoutly denied it. She
also denied telling the desk sergeant
and others that she had taken the
watch. Desk Sergeant Smith disproved
it, and Royal Gladstone Taysom thrust
his lead penciled paddle in the air to be
sworn He corroborated the desk ser
geant, and Mrs. McDermott was con-
victed.
In the last six months, this court
has done everything possible to keep
you out of this" said the judge. Time
and again you have been warned of
such an end. You will now be con-
fined in the county Jail four months,
and let others remember that no mercy
will be shown anyone who receives
stolen goods-especially from boys"

BICYCLIST'S MISHAPS.
Boy Named Rawlings Had Narrow
ESCAPE.

3 A serious accident occurred on Main
street in front of Johnson & Pratt's
drug store yesterday afternoon. An
1-year-old son of Mr.. Edwin Rawlings,
who is employed as carpenter by Silver
Brothers, was riding up Main street on
a bicycle and when opposite Johnson
&. Pratt's drug store he turned his head
AS he turned, his wheel took a dart
into a light rig driven by Mr.. McHenry,
the church teamster. Mr.. McHenry
saw the boy in time to slow up lit
tie and pull his horse to one side. The
boys head struck the tire of the front
wheel and the force of the contact was
so great that he was knocked COM
pletely over and struck the pavement
very forcibly on the back of his head.
1t looked for a few minutes as if he
would be trampled under the feet of
the horse, but fortunately only the rig
passed over him. He was picked up in
an unconscious condition and carried
into johnson & Pratt's drug store,
where Dr. Pratt attended to his in
juries. In an hour he had recovered
enough to be taken home.

Opinion of Judge Rolapp.

Pennington. June 9.-Judge RolaDp has
rendered an opinion, on which his de-
cision will be based. in the case of Boun-
tiful Mill Creek Irrigation company VS..
Thomas Eggett ct al. tried during the
April term He finds that plaintiffs are
entitled, as against defendants. to the
waters of Mill creek in Bountiful. and
that defendants should be enjoined from
interfering with the water in said creek:
that defendant Lewis has only a right TO
so much water in Kinney creek as is pro-
duced by digging out eight springs below
Walkers dam. which amount is TO be de-
termined by Thomas II. Phillips. who is
appointed commissioner and special mas
ter to ascertain the same; that defendant
Walker is entitled TO all of the waters Of
Kinney creek above the Walker dam, but
not to waters of Mill Creek.
Costs are taxed against defendants. Eg-
gett and Lewis, but none against Walker.
