ask for everything in sight and lit

are anxious it is said, to secure their
old franchise in Washington.
It was animated that in case of a
war the rational league would retail

made to get several of the magnates
to discuss the matter, but they refused
to commit themselves. On of them

Provo, Dec. 1.-THE motion made by
the defendant canal companies to dis
solve the order restraining them from
putting in the headgates in the Jordan
river dam. recently made by Judge
Booth, came up this morning.
Attorneys John B. Miner and NJ. NJ.
Warner appeared for Mr.. Peay, the
plaintiff. and F. S. Richards, E. A.
WedgewOOd and John NJ. Cannon for
the defendants, Salt Lake City and the
Salt Lake canal companies. While it
was expected there would be nothing
more than argument on the motion by
the attorneys the entire day was taken
up in the introduction of testimony
touching the vari0us phases of the case
and the contention became so warm at
times that Judge Booth had to restrain
the opposing attorneys from inSinuat-
ing personalities toward each other.
Witnesses Walter Scott and H. w.
Brown, Utah lake commissioners;
Frank c. Kelsey, city engineer of Salt
Lake; George Gowans and Jonas
Wordsworth testified for the defend
ants, chiefly in relation to the height
of the water in the lake during the
summer and fall of this year. Their
testimony established the fact that the
water in the lake by actual measure
ment had not reached an elevation
greater than thirty-fOur and one-half
inches below compromise point between
Oct. l and Dec. 3, this year, and that
compromise point is three feet three
and one-half inches above low water
mark.
Commissioner Scott stated that the
commissioners met Nov. 10 and that
on account Of the low elevation of the
water in the lake they had ordered that
the canal companies be permitted to
lower the gates in the dam and keep
them there until Dec. 20 unless other
wise ordered by the commissioners. 1t
developed on cross examination, though,
that Mr.. Scott had failed to take the
oath of office as commissioner upon his
reelection for this year and that he
had not furnished the required bond
Charley De Noisy testified that he su-
pervised the establishment of monu-
ments indicating the elevation of the
waters Of the lake when at compromise
point in accordance with a previous de-
cree of court, and that the compromise
point was fixed at three feet three
inches above a compromise level. The
decree of court referred to by Mr.. De
Noisy was introduced as evidence.
The excitement of the days proceed
ings arose when the defendants called
the plaintiff, George Peay, to the wit
ness stand and tried to elicit the fact

cess has been far from f1attering- The
chaos that existed in baseball before
the annual winter session was begun

baseball war are just as good as they
were on Monday last. The olive branch
has been held out neither to the Play

CONGREGATIONAL CONCERT.
Successful Ending of Ladies Aid
Society Fair.


The remarkably successful Christmas
fair and bazaar given by the Ladies
Aid society of the First Congregational
church this week closed last evening
with a delightful concert that called
out a good audience The programme
for the concert was made up of a piano
solo, 1.-The Cascade" by Miss Lola
J. A. Graham; a vocal solo, Tell Me,
violin solos. "Slumber Song and "A
panied by Professor Anderson on the
Storms" by J. A. Graham; two vocal
and "A Necklace of Love-" by Mrs.
villa" by Miss Jolly. The programme
throughout was good and was well re-
ceived by the audience. The applause
for Mrs. Ferry was especially hearty,
and she kindly repeated the last of her
two selections, a beautiful song of
child's love.
After the concert an auction was held
in the parlOrs of the church &C all the
articles left from the fair. At che auc-
ton Eugene Stewart acted as auction
eer and Z. L. Carpenter and G. w
Putnam acted as clerks. This auction
afforded much amusement for those
present, and netted a nice little sum
for the ladies' The total receipts of
the fair and concert amounted to over
$500.

in similar way for SO box, and then
ne tried to sell single cigars for $50
apiece, but no one present had that
much money. The peculiar part of his
business was that he did not buy back
the cigar boxes. but after selling all
he could passed on to some other little
game. Then it was that the gudgeons
knew that they were beaten. A num-
Der of them gathered around the inter
esting stranger and demanded their
money. He became frightened and
pulled a revolver and ordered them to
stand back He had been honest with
them. he said, and sold them the CT
gars in good faith and they must abide
by the bargain. It looked squaIiy for
the advertiser a time but by paying
back SIS that he had got out of Alfred
Birmingham he got away unframed.
William Birmingham invested $40 that
he did not get back and others swelled
the amount to about 1925.

An oily-tongued fakir worked the
good people OF Bountiful Thursday
evening to the tune of about S125 and
those who bit at his little game are
still wondering just how it was done.
1t was the same old game that has been
worked in other Utah towns. The IA
kir struck BountifuI and announced
himself as THE Champion African Ad-
veTtiser." BY the smOothest kind of
stories he managed to draw large
crowd of people to the public hall and
then began that little game that has
grown gray in the service of travelling
grafters. He first sold small pieces of
paper for 81 and then gave back the
dollar with a nice present to the pur-
chaser. Then he sold little pieces of
string in the same way for So apiece
and bought them back for the same
amount, giving each buyer a nice
present to reward him for his conf
dence. Then he sold boxes of cigars

its utmost capacity last night, the
spectators rising in their seats and

catch the others mapping then to shoot
down from the high bank on either side

the coveted lap that would probably

good start on the bunch at o'clock
last night, but Fixes was hot after
him, and McEacheTn had to come back
10 the others, after setting a merry
clip for a few minutes.
The feature of yesterdays riding was
