fsnecial Correspondence.l

Evanston Wyo., April 21.-The Bur
1ington will award the contract in a
few weeks for one of the longest pieces
Of new road that has been constructed
by that company in recent years. It
Will be on the extension of the Alliance
Guernsey line, now building, on across
the state of Wyoming toward Og0en
and Salt Lake, Utah. The contract will
call for the construction of about 200
miles of grade westward from Guern-
sey and the completion Of it on or be-
fore Oct. 1, 1900. The several contract
ing firms that bid on the work are row
waiting for the company TO announce
the successful bidders It is believed
however, that a prominent firm Of
Omaha, Neb., has been given assur
ances that it win get the job.
Notwithstanding the many denidlS of
the Burlington officials relative to the
extension of the Guernsey line the
work Of surveying has gone forward
steadily until there remains but a few
miles on the western, or Utah, end yet
to be surveyed. The fulfillment Of the
contract to be let shortly will carry the
Burlington's Utah line as far west as
the Elk mountain coal fields in Carbon
county, Wyoming, and as steel-laying
gangs will follow the graders closely,
IL IS expected L0aL trains Will De run
ming to Elk Mountain not later than
the end of the present year.
After leaving Guernsey, in the north
ern part of Laramie county, the new
line will run in a sOuthwesterly direc
ton and win cross the main line of
the Union Pacific in the vicinity of
Medicine Bow station, about seventy
five miles west of Laramie From that
point the Medicine Bow river will be
followed, giving the road a water
grade, to Elk Mountain. From that
point the line has been surveyed on
through the Battle Lake and Grand
Encampment mining districts of south
ern Carbon county, running in a west
erly direction ard passing through the
outskirts of this place. Two gangs of
surveyors are now in the field west of
here, and it is expected that the bal
ance of the survey into Ogden and
Salt Lake will be completed in the
rear future.
Whether mere than 200 miles of the
Salt Lake line will be built this year or
not is not known, but it is believed that
Elk Mountain will be the farthest
point west reached by the Burlington
during 1900. That the company is now
pushing toward the Pacific coast, we'll
informed people have no doubt, and it
is confidently expected that inside of
three years the Burlington win be run
ming trains into Oakland over its own
rails from Chicago.

Whether or not the prisoners at the
city jail shall work or not work, is
likely to become quite an issue in the
city council. The recommendation
which the prison and police committee
will make to the council on Tuesday
night that the cost of working the
prisoners is too great may find oppo-
sftion.
Chief Of Police Hilton, who is strong
advocate Of work for the prisoners, will
likely send in TO the mayor and council
a communication that will carry some
weight. He thinks that the committee
is mistaken in the figures which it has
given out concerning the cost of work
ing the prisoners. He said yesterday
that it would not cost 81 per day for
wagons to carry the hobos to and from
work, that within a short time the
patrol wagon could be used for the pur-
pose, so that then there would be no
cost for transportation at ALL
He declared that the estimate Of the
matron, Mrs. Hampton, of extra cost
Of 5 cents per meal for these men when
they do hard work is altogether too
nigh. IL 1t were not forbidden by law
that city officers should have contracts
with the city, he would be willing to
agree to feed the prisoners for the price
now paid to Mrs. Hampton, and give
them meat twice each day, sufficient
for the hardest kind of work In this
way he gets rid of much of the extra
cost Of which the committee COM
planned. But he figures out another
saving.
II the prisoners had to work. said
the chief, there would not be more
than half as many in the Jail. There
would not be any hobos who would get
in jail simply TO live without working.
There would not be so many break
Ing into jail. That would reduce the
present cost of feeding them by one
half. If my estimate is correct.
The amount would be from Sis to
$3.50 each month. Thus, when you con-
slider that the only expenditure would
be $3.50 per month for guards, the ac-
tual cash loss is not very great. But
consider the moral benefit, not only TO
the community by keeping these men
out Of Salt Lake, but to the men them
selves by teaching them that they must
work to live. Is that not something
gained?
Again, the work of twenty or thirty
men is surely worth something TO the
city. It is certainly worth the differ
ence between the salaries Of the guards
$3.50 per month and $i15."

TAKEN BACK TO MONTANA
ALLEGED CRIMINALS ARE RE-
TURNED TO STAND TRIAL.
Marshall, Lewis and Wilson Leave in
the Custody Of Officers For Scene
of Crimes.

Chief Lavell and Sheriff Davidson
left for Montana last evening with their
prisoners. Marshall the alleged muir
derer of Mrs. Creech, and Henry Lewis
and Henry Wilson, who were pardoned
by the board of pardons yesterday.
and who are wanted for three burg
laries at Helena. Lille Mitchell, the
woman associated with Lewis and Will
son, was left here to serve her time in
the county jail.
Marshall was handcuffed and an Ore
gOn boot was put about his ankle to
preclude all possibility Of an escape,
but the officers agree that he is the
handiest ''ironed" man they ever saw.
1t was no trouble to him to go into his
back pocket, produce tobacco and pa
per and roll cigarettes in spite of his
handicap. The other men were leg
irOned together and no doubt is ex-
pressed as to their being placed safely
behind the Montana bars.

DECIDE TO OBEY MANDATE OF
THE COURT.
Viii Release one-sixth of Jordan
Flow For Benefit of Power Com
pany.

In obedience to the writ issued by the
Fourth district court on Thursday, re-
quiring it to be done, the head officials
of the several canal companies owning
the waters Of Utah lake and Jordan
river, arranged yesterday at meeting
| held in this CITY to release q sixth of
the rivers flow, as prayed for by the
Salt Lake City Water & Electrical
Power company, whose power plant has
been closed down since a week ago, on
account Of the canal people having
frightened the river dam in order to
hold the lake flood water back until
the irrigating season opens Sufficient
plank will be taken out of the dam to-
day 10 permit one-sixth TO flow down
to the power plant.
Those who attended the meeting were

Jordan Canal company. Angus NJ. Can
non Of the South Jordan, William H
Haigh OF the North Jordan Canal COM
pany, President Mclaughlin and Di-
rector George c. Lambert of the Utah
& Salt Lake Canal company, City En-
gineer Kelsey, representing Salt Lake
Cgty'S canal, and Messrs. H. T. Spen-
Ger and II. W. Brown Of the Utah lake
commission controlling the lake level to
compromise point.
While arranging to yield obedience
upon the part of the several joint in
terests TO the courts temporary man
| date TO release a sixth of the impound-
ed water, the hope was INDUCED that
the court of last resort would recognize
| the right Of the prime owners of the
| Utah lake water to hold back the flood
! tide whenever the lake level is receding,
In order that the farming and other
interests may not suffer for water
when there is a shortage.
The city and Thea canal companies,
! excepting the South Jordan company,
authorized the employment of MessTs.
| f. S. Richards and S. r. Thurman to
assist the attorneys in resisting the ap-
| plicattOn Of the power plant company
| at Provo to make the writ requiring
the release of a portion of the water
| permanent. The hearing Of the case
win come I'D in court in a couple of
weeks. Attorneys Ferguson & Cannon

BEAT A WOMAN.
Nightwatchman Interrupts a Bloody
Affair.

Nightwatchman Smith, who guards
over the district surrounded by the
Kenyon, was called to act in what was
supposed TO be a case of murder at
the unseemly hour of 3 o'clock yester-
day morning. In the alley leading to
Victoria avenue. below the Kenyon, he
heard the screams Of a woman, and
running to the spot, caught a burly
fellow in the act Of beating his mis-
tress.
Her hands and face were covered
with blood, it is related, and her clothes
torn into shIeds, presenting on the
whole a very CHASTITY spectacle. Smith
commanded the fellow to desist, but he
paid no attention, going right on with
his brutal work. The northumberland
finally drew his revolver and leveled
it at the mans head. The latter
stopped, but coolly defied the inter-
rupter to shoot.
In the meantime the woman had
gone out of sight, and no arrests were
made.

EXPECTANT GROOM ASKED
ANNULffENT OF LICENSE

print with a copy of the state marriage
law. Unfortunately Mr.. Friedman saw
the other side of his license-the law
side. To his sorrow he read that mar
riages in Utah between a niece and her
uncle is prohibited and void. That fit
ted the case of himself and his Polish
bride. Alas It would not do to have
Cupid's bow knot tied here.
The discovery Frustrated Miss Stus-

office TO tell his tale of woe to the dep

with his request the deputy clerk re-
funded Mr.. Friedman the $3.50 he had
paid for the license and destroyed the
wedding permit.
Returning to his hotel the Butte
bridegroom sought to console his f1ance
by promising they would go to some
other state to be married where it is
legally permissible for an uncle to
marry his niece.

Yesterday was probably the first time
that pair of applicants for mar
riage license in Salt Lake ever request
ed that their wedding permit be an
nulled. Such an incident however,
transpired yesterday in the Office of
County Clerk Dunbar But there was
ample reason for granting the request
of the disappointed bride and groom.
Adolph Friedman, aged 80, and Mas
cha Stusser, twenty-five yeanS his jul
nior, were the first applicants of the
day for q license to marry, and the
deputy clerk lost no time in issuing the
permit The couple hailed from Butte

animal kicked up and got one of it's
hind feet over the traces, frightening
both.
They started in on a mad run to-
wards town and were soon beyond
AirswOrth's control. Gaining in speed
all the time, they passed the Grand
theatre, where an excited crowd ran
after the vehicle, but at the corner of
State street and Second South, the dri-

ward the sidewalk. and with a crash
the off horse struck a telephone pole
and fell.
AinswOrth jumped from the seat and
freed the frightened occupants, who
were unhurt. The horses were liber-
ated and the only damage was a frac-
tured pole in the vehicle. The names
of the parties on the inside were not
learned.
