A GOOD CITIZEN IS TAKEN
FOR A BURGLAR AND SHOT At

There were lively doings on the east
side last night, mourning the chase of
an imaginary burglar, a search for him
with horse pistols and cutlasses. and
a very unpleasant experience for a
harmless citizen with a haDless pro-
pensity to run rather than walk home
in the evening.
1t all happened at or near the home
of Mrs. Brown, 325 South Seventh East
street, between 10 ana 1880 D. m. The
lady had been visiting at the neigh
bOr's, and upon returning to her own
dOmicile heard a crash within like unto
a jewelry box falling upon q hardwood
floor. SummOning her son-in-law, Sid
LambOurne, the popular young street
car conductor, and another man to the
scene, she babe them investigate while
she stood at the gate and stopped
him" in case "he" should come out.
Sid carried pistol that went
through Gettysburg, and the other man
armed himself with an article de-
scribed as a cross between a rapier and
Ratchet. Together they went cautious
~ from room to room, momentarily ex-
pecting to strew the villains parts and
passions over the parlOr floor
Meanwhile, Mrs. Brown had hailed a
street car upon which Officer Parry
happened to be, on his way to work
Being told that the chance of his life
was at hand, Parry bore down upon
the homestead, and backed up Sid and
the horse pistol and the man with the
cutlass, but the burglar did not appear.
The female element finding intrusion
safe enough, took an inventory of the
Jewelry, Immediately sending for sis
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1900-05-14

ter to find out where it had been put.
Fortunately, the jewels were found
intact.
But here is where the hapless citizen
comes IN. He passed the group at the
gate, where discussion was rife, and
almost Immediately broke into a MAD
run down the street. Parry caught him
at Fifth South, and brought him back
to give an account Of himself, the ia
dies insisting that he was the burglar
They just knew it, and while the pc
destrian protested that it was his habit
to run when on his way home, the
words fell fat The officer had him
lead the way to the home of friend he
had been visiting to prove his ahDl
then released him.
The citizen walked back down the
street passing the Brown home again,
and stragely enough started to run
Sid's conclusion was that he had es-
capped the officer and he took up the
chase, yelling Halt" and firing seven
shots every hundred yards, while the
man with the eutlass came close upon
his heels to he in at the death. Behind
them all ran Parry, shouting Hes all
right-quit shooting" but Sid heard
it, Shoot him. damn it, and so the
chase went on. couple of blocks
down the street the fleeing pedestrian
ran into the arms of two passers-by.
We've got you, now" they insisted,
and they held him down until Parry
arrived and explained matters. Every
body apologized and no one seemed
hurt, except the citizen, who is Won
dering what law prevents man from
sprinting on a public thoroughtare.

WALDECK-ROUSSEAU HIT.
Results of Paris Municipal Elections
Against the Cabinet

Paris, May 1.-THE second ballots in
the municipal elections in Paris yes
terday in the districts left without def
mite results on May 6, have given the
nationalists twenty out of thirty seats.
This result fully justifes them in
claiming great local victory mas
much as seventeen of the twenty seats
are direct gains from the ministerial
socialists. For the districts they car
ried on MAJ g. the nationalists will
now control twenty-eight new MEM
bers in the new municipal council. This
gives them sweeping majority, for
with royalists, conservatives and dis
gruntled republicans they can count
on forty-eight votes in a body consist
ing OF eighty
Thus the Waldeck- Rousseau cabinet
has suffered a severe rebuke in Paris
and the outcome is sure to become eX-
ceedingly interesting The Paris mu-
nieipal council has always been a true
ulent body, but with the council pull

CONTROLLING TRAFFIC.
Canadian Pacific Likely to Be Shut
Out of Seattle.

Out of Seattle.
New Whatcom, Wash, May 13.-An
interesting fight has been precipitated
here between the Canadian Pacific,
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
railways. which, in the event that the
Canadian Pacific loses, means that 1t
is to be entirely shut out of Puget
Sound cities. Their traffic arrangement
with the Seattle & international. over
which they have entered Seattle for the
last three years, expires May 31st, 1900,
and the Northern Pacific, which now
owns the Seattle & international, has
notified the Canadian road, it is said,
that il would not be renewed. One
thing thus left open to the Canadian
Pacific is the purchase or lease Of the
BeIlingham Bay & British Columbia
railroad, which runs from this city to
connection with the Canadian Pacific
and Seattle & International at Sumas,
on the international boundary line.
1t is now said that the Northern Pa
cific is trying to purchase the Belling-
ham Bay & British Columbia, which
will not only entirely shut the Cana
dian Pacific out of the Sound cities,
but will give them entry into Belling-
ham Bay as we'll. President Cornwall
of the Bellingham Bay & British Col
unbia mas been in conference with
Northern Pacific officials, and it is
said that Canadian Pacific officials will
arrive TUESDAY for conference with

capitalists. In connection with the
road, it is proposed to develop coal
mines along the Yampa river and OPP
crate the Denver Steel company.
The new road will probably run over
the Denver, Lakewood & Golden route,
from Denver to Golden, thence to
