WOMEN TO HELP SUFFERERS
PLEDGE THEMSELVES TO RAISE
SOME $4,000.
Will Ask the Women of Salt Lake
City to Contribute One Dollar
Each.

Thirty Salt Lake women who are
prominently identified with local char
tiles met yesterday afternoon at the
residence of Mrs. o. J. Salisbury to
inaugUrate a plan whereby $4,000 is to
be raised for the Scof1eld relief fund.
The wOman's relief committee was the
name adopted by the leaders of the
movement and the following women
were appointed as an executive COM
mittee to push forward the work of
raising the money, Mesdames o. ].
Salisbury, George Y Wallace, G. NJ.
Downey. c. c. Goodwin, J. z. Bam-
berger, S. Siegel and ". S. Mccormick,
who was elected treasurer.
Mrs. Salisbury outlined the plan
whereby she believed this charity could
be made successful. It was the inten-
ton, she said to limit contributions
to 81 each Only Salt Lake women
would be asked to contribute and only
those who were entirely able to do so.
In illustrating the inadequacy of the
large amount already raised TO peTma-
nently provide for the needs Of the
needy widows, orphans and others
made dependent by the awful calam-
ity, Mrs. Salisbury stated that she had
estimated that it would require fund
of s211 900 to provide so cents a day
for the los widows and % cents a day
for the 20 orphans during the period
of five years TO come.
Continuing she said: Il am convinced
that the impression gained that money
enough has been raised is a mistake.
If the fund already accumulated was
distributed pro rata among the de-
pendants, all of the mite received by
each would be exhausted before the
winter SHOWS come. The fund should
reach $500 900 in order TO meet the re-
quirements of these 375 stricken souls
Other members of the committee made
short talks voicing the sentiments Of
Mrs Salisbury and much. enthusiasm
was exhibited.
AS a result of the meeting, twenty
of the members pledged themselves to
raise $50 each or a total of 81, 600.
Clubs will be formed and the soliCita-
ton of money will be actively pursued.
The ladies all expressed their entire
confidence in the hearty cooperation
Of all members of their sex in Zion to-
v-o~7 ~aising che sum named.

Timber Thieves Caught Down in Fremont
Township Last Monday

Tuesday afternoon Sheriff Robertson
brought up from Fremont two halt
breeds, John LaRoque and William
DeLerme, who will appear for trial when
Judge Sauter comes here again on the
10Th, charged with trespass and stealing
of timber from school lands belonging TO
the state. The complaint laid by State
Land Com Laxdal and charges five
parties with the offense. Those not
brought to Jail we're Charles Campbell
and John LaRoque, Jr, who we're releas-
ed on their own recognizance, and
George McDougall, who it is stated
skipped across the line into Manitoba
when he found that a warrant was out
for his arrest. At the preliminary hear
ing which was had on Monday before
James Pask, justice of the peace, at
Walhalla, both LaRoque and DeLorme
waived examination until the time OF
trial. States Attorney Dickson ac-
companied the sheriff 10 Fremont at the
time of the arrest and conducted the
prosecution on the part of the state.
State Land Commissioner Laxdal COM
plains that the stealing of timber from
state lands in both Fremont and Wal
halla townships this winter have reached
such an extent that he is compelled to
make an example of this case 1t is also
intimated that he intends taking similar
action in cases that have lately come to
his notice of tlespass on hay lands
belonging to the state.
