Break into Barn.


A gang of youthful housebreakers
were detected in the act of attempting
to break into barn at 156 West
Fourth South street yesterday after
noon, where, as one Of%the boys ad-
omitted. they intended TO steal oats.
one of the six boys was captured by
James Cheney, the owner Of the barn,
and turned over to The police. but was
later released, it being learned that he
was not guilty of attempting to enter
the place.
Mr.. Cheney says that on Aour Ocea-
sions his barn has been mysteriously
broken into and everything from
pigeons to carpenters tools. have been
missed. He suspected tllat <oys were
doing the work and yesterday when he
heard a noise at the barn he quietly
slipped out and discovered the lads at
tempting TO prS the door open. Before
they succeeded one of them spied him
and they all started off. They sped in
every direction. but Mr.. Cheney fol-
lowed the largest boy and after & lively
chase captured him.
Tie patrol was called and the youth
fUl fugitive was taken to police sta
ton, weeping and protesting that he
was not guilty of trying TO get into the
barn. At the station he gave his name
as Ernest Fulmsr and said he was u
years old He said the other boys had
planned 10 break into the barn and
steal some oats to sell Mr.. Cheney

RAILWAY COMP AN|ES
FIGHT FOR OLOGRADE
Union Pacific Against the Los
Angeles Line.
CONTEST TO A FINISH
CLARK PEOPLE BACK UTAH &
CALIFORNIA.

There were further developments yes
terday concerning the contest for pos
session of the old Union Pacific grade
below Cvada. 1t gives prospect of
rlpening into an out and out battle be-
tween the Oregon Short Line and the
san Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake
companies.
The dispute now on is between the
Utah & California company. which is
the Abram Cannon organization of
several years ago that intended build
ing TO the coast, and the Utah. Nevada
N California, which is the company
organized by the Oregon Short Line
Tor an extension across Nevada Ten
years ago the Union Pacific surveyed
the line to Los Angeles and did some
expensive construction work beyond
OVada, including the building of a tun-
mel and an embankment. This is the
piece involved The law provided that
after filing on the property with the
United States land commissioner, the
r1ght-of-way could be held over gov
eminent land for five years. If. at the
expiration of that time, the road was
not completed, the right of holding it
was forfeited
AS stated yesterday, the Southern
racine bluffed the Union Pacific out
or building and it abandoned the grade
and all Later, the Abram Cannon
pIOJeCt, the Otah x California. filed on
the old grade. and when it failed to
make use of it the Oregon Short Line,
through its auxiliary, the Utah, Ne
vada & California, filed on it, Now
comes the contest. The Utah & Cali
fornia insists that it is the only right
full owner of the ground, as the Short
Line company jumped ii, while the
Utah, Nevada & California people con-
tend the Cannon folks forfeited their
right to it long ago.
r L. Williams is making the fight
Ter the Short Lines interest, and c. O.
Wnlttemore is representing the Utah
d California. The hearing is before the
registrar of the land office at Carson.
The fact that Mr.. Whittemore is in
terested in the case, while the claim is
made that he simply is retained by the
Utah q California people, undoubtedly
has this significance: The San Pedro
Los Angeles 6, Salt Lake company sees
IN the Short Lines maneuVer a deter
mination to build to the coast and is
lighting for the retention of the grade
by the Utah & California with the in
tention of buying it from the last
named company.
The grade, as stated above, is valu-
able to any company constructing Z.
line to the coast. There is no doubt
that both the Clark people and the
Short Line will carry the fight to a fin
ISM and interesting developments are
looked for Messrs- Williams and Whit
temore are expected to return today or
tomorrow.

COLONEL DODGE COMING.
Supposed to Have Met Experts E
Route

Supposed to Have Met Experts En-
Route.
Colonel Dodge is on his way to Salt
Lake. He left Denver Saturday night
and would have arrived here last even
ing had he come straight through. The
experts, Bogue and McCIement, left for
the east yesterday afternoon, and the
inference is that they met Colonel
Dodge down the line and stopped to
hold a consultation with him That
there are any others of note in Colonel
DOdge'S party is not known.
1t is learned here that the Bogue
party is to make an inspection of the
Colorado Midland next, no doubt for
the same interests as those they rep
resented in the Rio Grande Western
examination. This is indicative of the
purchase of the Rio Grande Western s
half interest in the Colorado Midland
also by Gould, who doubtless holds the
same option on this interest that he
holds on the Western. The Midland is
owned Jointly by the Rio Grande West
ern and Colorado Southern There can
be little doubt that the Rio Grande
Westerns holdings Will go with the
Gould purchase.

within the last few days called at the
station yesterday afternoon and bland
" announced the fact tIat he was af-

wanted attention. The patient was VIII

503 South Seventh East street.
Shortly after noon Desk Sergeant
Pratt heard a knock at the door and
"A moment later a head peeped through
and announced that its owner had the

been sounded when there was commo-

RETURN OF CATTLE DELEGATES
M. K. PARSONS AND w. L. WHITE
BACK FROM DENVER.
Mr.. Leary Gets a Salary of 81, 400
Per Year and viii Spend Much
Time at Denver.

NJ. K. Parsons and w. L. White re-
turned from the cattlemen's conven-
ton at Denver last evening. They re-
port favorably on everything in connec-
ton with the meeting of the stock men,
except that Salt Lake is likely to lose
J. G. Leary and his energy.
Said Mr.. Parsons: Jim didn't get
into the organization as a cattle man,
but we fixed it so that the secretary
could be selected outside the member
ship. Then it was Secretary Leary in
a jiffy. The constitution fixed Den
yer as permanent headquarters for the
association and that can only be
changed by two-thirds vote. This
means that a great deal of Mr.. Learys
time must be spent in Denver. The
executive committee wanted him to
make his residence there and devote
all his time to the Office, but he said
that would be impossible He gave US
to understand, however, that he would
give the cffice all the attention it re-
quireS. He will have TO put in most
of his time there surely
The statement that the secretary is to
receive a salary of $1,000 a year. Mr..
Parsons says, is incorrect. The figure
is just double that, $4,000 Mr.. Leary
went on from Denver to Kansas City,
and just when he will return is doubt
full.
THE convention was a huge success
in every respect" continued Mr.. Par
sons. About the most important thing
accomplished outside the organization
was the passage of a resolution favor
ing the leasing of public lands for graz
ing purposes. Fully twO-tbirds of the
delegates. who numbered about 700,
favored it. About every state in the
union was represented at the conVen-
ton and the sentiment was strong for
maintaining the organization distinct

John got on Andy'S back all right

Old QUESTION FAXED UP
Who Shall Be at the Head Of the
Naval Observatory.

Washington. March lot appears that
the trouble at the naval observatory is
not altogether Of a personal nature. Il
involves the old question of whether the
observatory should be under the Superln-
tendency Of d line officer Of the. navy or
OF a professional astronomer. The latter
view has beer held by the astronomical
profession at large and also by such sec
retaries as Secretary Tracey and Secre-
tary Long
This is not founded upon the finding Of
persons qualified in the line Of the navy
or upon any dissatisfaction with the pres
frequent changes of duty to which naval
officers are subject at short intervals
prevents continuity Of administration
and also upon the principle that the aD-
pointment of superintendent should be

service without restriction 10 any cases

School Entertainment.

The city schools gave an entertain
ment at the south side school building
Wednesday evening. It was to have
been given on Friday but the storm
weather prevented. Each grade in
school contributed something to the
program for the entertainment of their
friends who filed the house to over
flowing. The large audience was~in
itself compliment to the schools and
speaks we'll for the interest in what
concerns the children.
Every number of the program was
we'll given. the play ing Of the Kinsley
band adding much to the pleasure of
the occasion. But. as Kipling says,
that is another story.
Perhaps the part which gave the.
most pleasure to the audience was
The Raggles Family" in which Miss
Florence Morse distinguished herself
rs Mrs. Rugyles. The scene where the
entire family are being coached for
the dinner party was given entire.
This entertainment was given to
raise money for an organ fund.
A chemical display was given as a
sort at n side show and was enioyed
by nearly the entire audience.
Prot Seaman's and Miss Clark's
rooms thrown together made a very
good audience room although the
crowd is always larger than can be
accommodated and the discomfort might
tie avoided by using the opera house.
The hall downstairs and Miss Runs
er's room were used for serving re-
freshments
The primary children in Miss Me-

rooms, also Miss Brelsford's, while
they are the ''litlle folk,,'' all furn-
ished good selections for the enter
tainment.
The amount cleared was about s45.
