kinks in the Rio Grande Western main
line near Murray has not begun yet.
but Superintendent A. z. Welby stated
yesterday that the work would be COM
menced in the near future. The COM
pany has not yet had time to get

will welcome the change when it does
come, as there are SO many accidents
at that particular part of the line.

Eureka, July Notwithstanding
that the lovers of pugilistic amuse-

number of athletic exhibitions of late.
they are still enthusiastic and will en-

The next attraction in this line is

which promises to be very interesting.
the boys will give exhibitions in club

purse of 5000. 1t is quite likely that
the fight will be pulled off here on the

ago on account of the grading. but
track-laying will be resumed Aug. 1

BROUGHT BACK A FORTUNE.
Mr.. and Mrs. Finch Return From
Alaska With $4,000.

Mr.. and Mrs. Joe Finch have re-
turned to this city from Alaska, where
they have been for nearly two years.
Mr.. Finch speaks very enthusiastically
about the prospects in the north. but
would not advise anyone to leave
good position to go there, for the life
of an Alaskan prospector is fraught
with many dangers and hardships. Mr..
Finch has several undeveloped claims
in Alaska. and others which bring him
quite a tidy sum. He and his wife
brought about $4,000 home with them
The Utah people are doing well, Mr..
Finch says, and some of them will
probably be home in the fall with their
wallets we'll filed.

Taylor pitched a fairly strong game

Knickerbocker, who, by the way, has
regained some of his old cunning in
the art of throwing to bases. Two at

Two Lone Runs For Parks.

Park City failed to score until the
fifth inning, when by an error of Beck
with. Edwards and Burroughs went
home. From that time on their tally
sheet was a blank. With Ogden it was
simply succession of running matches
around the bases, the boys hitting the
ball when and where they pleased. In
no less than three innings the entire
Ogden team faced the pitcher, and in
the last half of the eighth eighteen
men went to bat.
The brilliant work of the Ogden field
was the feature of the game. Two SEN
sational one-hand catches by Casey
received much applause from the 1000
people who witnessed the game. On
the other hand, the visitors were eX-
tremely weak in the field. While the
game was uninteresting as far as good
playing was concerned a very crafty
ing feature was the absence of wran-
Cling and kicking, which so often mars
the enjoyment of the game.
The score follows:

PRESIDENT WALKER HERE.
Head of Santa Fe System Passed
Through Salt Lake.

President a. F. Walker of the Santa
Fe system passed through Salt Lake
yesterday. He came in at 10:4O a. m. on
the Rio Grande Western No. 1 and
stopped over long enough to go up to
the residence of DR.. T. 8. Beatty. who
is his cousin. DR.. and Mrs. Beatty ac-
companied President Walker to Ogden
at noon. The visit of this high railroad
official at this time has no significance
whatever, being merely a pleasure trip.

triple and a single. When Kidder re-
lieved Taylor Margetts went to the
bench.
Neither team scored in the first, but
Bert Margetts started the music in the
second by smashing one of Smiths out
bends far out into the carriages in left
field. He had crossed the plate before
the ball was fielded in. The score re-
manned one to nothing until the fourth.
when Ryan poked out a triple in the
place where Margetts's long hit went.
McFarlane came uD with anc ler,
which Bert Griggs stubbed his toe in
getting after. and Sandy got three bags
on the hit. Then there came a dupli-
cation of the play which on Saturday
aroused the ire of the crowd against
Knickerbocker. Cain got a pass and
stole second. McFarlane scored on
Benefits single and Cain was caught
too far off third. He made a run for
it and as he came in Knickerbocker
got the ball and punched him a hard
one in the back. The crowds swarmed
around Knickerbocker for a minute,
but nothing happened and the game
went on.

for resigning was press of work, which
left him no time to attend to the affairs

Mr.. Carpenters resignation will be
received with regret. for he has got the
nine into good shape at last and it
never pays to make change in so i'm

yesterday at noon to extinguish a blaze
at the residence of John l.. Davis on
Sixth West, between North Temple and
First North. The fire was discovered
in some sheds back of the house, and
the department responded so promptly
that only the sheds and a chicken coop
were destroyed. The fire was caused
by putting hot ashes in an clubhouse.
There was a call also to extinguish
a grass fire at As G. street.
