he MISSED HIS TRAIN: ALSO
MISSED POSSIBLE DEATH

To escape probable death through
missing his train. and then to be re-
ported as victim of a great railway
wreck is not an experience which falls
to the lot of every man in his three
score years, and is not one which can
be contemplated without a shudder.
Yet that is what happened TO Nephi C.
Jensen, who starts for his home IN this
city today from Chattanooga, Tenn,
where he has been on mission.
The report that Mr.. Jensen had been
killed in the wreck of Sunday at Nc
Donough, Ca, came by the Associated
Press from Atlanta yesterday. The
dispatch conveying the information
was as follows:
"A dispatch from McDonough to-
night says one of the unidentified bod
les is believed to be that of n. c. Jen-
sen of Sugar postoffice, Salt Lake coun-
ty, Utah"

The police will make an effort to 10
cate the gang and break UP their OPP

Some of these pickpOckets were Op-
Grating at the Salt Palace last night.
Attorney r. B. Shepherd, who went
down there with his little boy, lost a
gold watch valued at $125. He had
come out of the theatre and was going
to the next show when he felt that his
watch was gone The chain was left.
The pickpOcket had simply unlocked
the watch. He was cOnsiderate enough
to not cut the chain.
Mr. Shepard reported his loss to the
police station, but at a late hour last
night the watch had not been found,
although there were eight or nine Off
GERS looking for it.

Kansas City.

Utah to Be Well Represented at
Kansas City.
The Lincoln Republicans of Utah
will be represented at the national con-
vention to be held at Kansas City on
the Fourth of July. These are what
were known in the last presidential
campaign as Silver Republicans, but
have changed the name of their ma
tiOnal organization to Lincoln Republi-
cans. The state organization of Utah
was not kept up after the fight of
1896, but it viii be revived now under
the new name. The committee having
this matter in charge is made up of
Judge Edward +. ColbuTn of Salt Lake,
z. A. Littlefield of ogden, Colonel J..
B. Graham of Bingham and Charles
Crane of Salt Lake. 1t is understood
to be the intention of these men to
have Utah fully represented in the ma
tiOnal convention at Kansas City.
The information leaked out, too, yes
terday that Hon. Frank ]. Cannon
would also be in Kansas City during
the conventions, but whether or not he
would take an active part in either
convention could not be learned from
anv of his friends in this city. The
general impression is that he will be
one of the leading lights in the Lincoln
Republican convention, and will iden-
tifv himself with that organization
throughout the fall campaign.

Mrs. Della Sloan is not the only one
who found Sunday trip to Saltair ex-
pensive, if reports that reached the
police yesterday are to be believed. The
indications are that a crowd of crooks
was engaged at the beach in picking
pockets, for upwards of $3.50 was lost
by Sunday visitors there.
Until yesterday it was supposed that
Mrs. Sloan had dropped her pocket
book while running to the train, but in
the face of newly discovered circum-
stances it is more likely that her pocket
was gone through by some one of the
light-fngered ''profesh." Losses in
smaller sums were reported by num-
ber of men as well as women, and the
work was so shrewdly performed that

KINY0UN IN COURT.
Federal Health officer Defends Him
self For Contempt.

San Francisco, June 25.-The con-
tempt proceedings instituted against
DR.. J. J. Kinyoun. federal health Off
Ger of this port, came up today. The
proceedings grew out of an alleged
violation of the injunction issued by
United States Circuit Judge Morrow,
restraining DIP. KinyOun from interfer-
ing with the personal liberties of the
Chinese of this city, in connection with
the quarantine of Chinatown.
The alleged contempt was on June
10. when DR.. Kinyoun issued an order
forbidding the sale Of transportation
out of the state to persons not pro-
vided with certificate of health issued
by the marine hospital service in this
city. In his answer to the complaint
DR.. Kinyoun cOntended that the order
issued by him did not apply to travel
within the state; that he had not acted
in defiance of the injunction, and that
if the transportation companies had
refused to sell tickets to points within
the state they were alone responsible.
Counsel for Wong Wal, the COM
plainant, presented affidavits setting
forth that Chinese who could not pro-
duce health certificates had been re-
fused transportation within the state.
After hearing the evidence of officials
of the transportation companies as to
the orders received by them, the case
went over until tomorrow.

airy in this city were anxious to ascer-
tain the facts with regard to the re-
ported death, so inquiries were made
to Chattanooga by telegraph. In re-
turn came a telegram which shows
that Mr.. Jensen missed the train which
met with disaster, and by doing so
avoided possible death. His baggage
was on the train that was wrecked, and
it was this fact that caused the belief
that one of the unidentified bodies
might be his.
This most providential escape of the
missionary occasioned great rejoicing
among his family and friends at Sugar
Yesterday. The telegram which con-
veyed the information that little de-
lay on his part in catching train had
saved his life was from Ben z. Rich,
president of the southern states mis-
sion, and was as follows:
''Nephi Jensen here safe. Missed
wreck by one train. Baggage in wreck.
Starts for home tomorrow, well and
happy"
