Jack Hawkins, a Senator passen-

that it was not the business Of the pre-

LIVELY IN THE FOURTH.
Devine Fell Down and Glasmann
Scored Poorly.


Scored Poorly.
There was the hottest kind of a fight
in the Fourth precinct between the
friends of Fire Chief Devine and Major
Grant. Personal pride cut deep there.
as both Of these candidates live in that
precinct. The Devine men worked
hard, and before the primary they
were making their boasts that they
would have a solid delegation or very
near It After the battle and when the
smoke had cleared away it was found
that the major had the best of it. and
was claiming ten OF the fourteen dele
gates. DeVlne did not cOncede this. but
claimed seven OF the fourteen sure.
with others on the doubtful list.
The caucus was called to order bv
John a. HOUghton. chairman of the
precinct, and John T. Axton acted as
temporary secretary. Postmaster A. L
Thomas was chosen permanent chair
man and Miss Susie Harper was made
permanent secretary. Without the loss
Oh time the mass primary broke I'D into
district primaries for the naming of
delegates, and when the meeting again
assembled the following were reported
as having been selected by their re-

The delegation goes to the convention
uninStructed, and a number of the del
egates would not express a preference
as TO the candidate for congress. but
both Grant and Devine were claiming
victory. Not one of the delegates
expressed a preference for GIasmann.
but it is certain that some are AGAINST
both or the men named above and
would gladly welcome the entry of
some ether man into the race. There
was no contest on any other nomina-
ton TO be made at the state conven-
ton.
The caucus was good one, and quite
number OF the party leaders were in
attendance. among them being Arthur
Brown, Thomas Fitch, Postmaster
Thomas, Glen Miller, Major Grant and
Chief Devine. The caucus was lively
but there was no bitterness that ap-
Deared on the surface.

CLAIMS OF THE TRIO.
Glasmann, Devine and Grant Claim
Majority of Delegates.

Glasmann, Devine and Grant Claim
Majority of Delegates.
The Hon. Bill Glasmann put in the
night at the Kenyon, under a palm
leaf fan, wondering what his majority
would be. When all the primaries
were over he went into executive ses-
sion with himself in Lynch's Office on
Main street and waited for returns
They came. And Bill says. seriously.
too, that he has more votes in Salt
Lake county than the other two can
didates put together.
you can say" said William, "that
Bill is the happiest man in town.
don't know why they didn't make it
unanimous in the Second. 1 have at
least twO-thirds Of them and a good
half in the First. / have most of the
Third and nearly all of the Fourth
and big majority in the Fifth. All
1 wanted in Salt Lake was six, but I
have at least forty"
SO says the Hon. Bill.
Chief Devine sat in his Office at the
fire department and figured Let me
see, said he, Il have about seventy of
the ninety-nine in the city, as near as
1 can figure. Of course the number
may go higher; I can't tell. Out in
the county organized a whole lot of
precincts and have lots of good
friends. It's a cinch that I'll carry the
county and the city easily. One good
thing is that I know my men. They
are not in the factions and while I
haven't them in my vest pocket, they
are men whom 1 can trust and I know
they are solid. I have seventeen out
Of tweEty-six in the First. more in the
Second. nearly all in the Third, at least
seven IN the Fourth and thirteen out
of eighteen in the Fifth.
No; neither Of The other candidates
can cut any ice in the county. And in
Cache-why, I have 70 per cent of
Cache, easily"
Said Major Grant: Really. haven't
been down town. I don't know any
thing about anything but the Fourth.
In the Fourth l have ten out of four
teen, and I have half of the Fifth, I'm
pretty sure I haven't heard from the
others, but / am confident.
Mr. Sutherland told me positively.
finally and absolutely. that he would
not accept the nomination. I am safe.
I believe"
From the above figures it is evident
that Glasm2nn has a plurality of SO
per cent OF the total vote Of the county,
Chief Devine has a plurality of sS1h
per cent Of the total vote Of the coun-
ty and Major Grant has the other 90
per cent.

MAY HAVE BEEN CASSIDY.
Desperate Was Seen in Western
Colorado Recently.

Butch Cassidy, the leader of the
Robbers Roost" gang, was seen with
a party of his colleagues on Spring
mountain in western Colorado about
four weeks ago; at least that as the
information brought into Fernal a few
days ago by a Tancher living in that
vicinity, who claims to know the des-
peradO when he sees him.
The rancher claims he recognized
Cassidy through a glass while he was
climbing up the mountain. The gang
did not modest him in any way. and
on the other hand he did not interfere
with them.
This information was told to John
G. Davis, chairman of the board of
county commissioners of Uintah coun-
ty, who arrived in the city yesterday
and who docs not expect to return
home until after the meeting Of the
Democratic state convention next week.
If the story of the rancher is true.
1t gives strength TO the theory that
1t was the Robbers Roost gang that
held up the Union Pacific express car
on train No. near Bitter creek, Wyo-
ming, night before last.

Several hundred Americans dropped
out from the heat each day. and came
struggling into camp this evening. Even
the native troops suffered almost as
much. The army could be tracked by
dead horses. The soldiers drank con-
tnually from the muddy river and wells
by the wayside. with the result that an
epidemic Of dysentery BET in. The Am
orleans marched during the hottest
hours Of the day, causing great dissat-
isfactiOn among officers and men who
had wished to move in the cool of the
morning aad evening, like the japanese
and Russians. But. with four armies
following a sinble road, the more enter
prising got the right of way and the
others had to follow when they could.

DEVINE LOST THE FIFTH.
The Councilmanic and Fireman Push
Were Completely Routed.

The Fifth precincts meeting was
probably the Iiveliest in town. Alma
Katz and Alexander Robertson got out
early and succeeded in stirring up
trouble. The delegation is almost
unanimous for any old fourth man.
Neither the major, the fire chief nor
the Hon. Bill look good TO them, but if
no one else gets mixed up in it, Devine
has perhaps the tail end of it, with
Grant slightly in the lead, and Bill
well. Bill says he's happy; says he has
about two-thirds of everything, and
nobody likes to dispute Bill when he
gets that way.
Here are the delegates:
No. A, A. d. Katz, w. L. Pickard;
No 45, c. E. Allen, E. D. r. Thomp-
son; No. As, j. NJ. Baxter, H w. Smith:

MIXED IN seBLooDY THIRD"
Glasmann Divided Honors With His
Rivals for Power.

At the Third precinct primary a
good-sized crowd was present, and the
business of the meeting was quickly
disposed OF. H. e. Booth was elected
chairman and Farley P. Jerson secre-
tary. After the call was read, a mo-
ton was made and carried that the
Republicans of the ten districts COM
prising the precinct who were present
should submit the names of those
whom they would have elected as dele
gates to the state convention.
A short recess was then taken, and
the following list. by districts, was
presented and ratified by the meeting
without opposition. Six of the dis
triets were allowed two each, and four
of them one each, as follows:
