But there was little merriment
when, Ave minutes later, the house,

realized the extent of their losses.
Maidie's had evidently been the last
room visited. The dressing table and
wardrobe Of the opposite chamber
that occupied by Col. and Mrs. Brent
had been ransacked. The colonel's
watch and ohain-too bulky, he said,
to be worn at dinner in white uni
form-his Loyal Legion and Army of
the Potomac insignia and some priced
though not expensive trinkets Of his
good wife were gone. Miss Porter's
little purse with her modest savings
and . brooch. that had been her
mothers were missing. And with
these items the skilled practitioner
had made good his escape.
On the floor, just under the window
In Maidie's room. lay keen double-
edged knife. The stumps of two or
three matches found in the coloners
apartment and others In Miss Por-

feared to make sufficient light for his
purpose, and from the floor of

Just where 1t had been dropped when
the prowler was ALARMED, Miss Por-
ter picked up one of the old-fash-
toned "phosphors' that ignite noise
lessly and burn with but "a tiny flame.
Marion's portemonnaie was in the
upper drawer, untouched, and such
jewelry as she owned, save two pre-
cious rings she always wore, was
stored in her fathers safe deposit
box in the bank at home. The colonel
was really the greatest loser and de-
clared 1t served him right, both pro-

Nueva Brent had sailed forth, and,
rushing impetuously into the dimly-
lighted thoroughfare, had narrowly
missed losing the top of his head as
we'll as his watch, an excited sentry
sending bullet whizzing into space
by way of the colonel's pith helmet,
which prompted the doctor. to say in
his placid and most effective way that
more heads had been lost that night
than valuables, and one bad shot be-
gat another.
Sentries downtowards the barracks,
hearing the three or four quick re-
ports, bethought them of the time

The accidental discharge of a loaded
Winchester by some parties in front Of
Coffin Bros. store last Friday caused a
little excitement that resulted in a
thorough scare to the participants. Two
men from the country districts were
standing on the pavement at the point
named examining Winchester. One Of
the men pulled the lever back and a
shell in the magazine was thrown into
the barrel, thus leaving the hammer
raised. Without thinking he touched
the trigger and the gun went off, the
ball passing at an angle upward and ov-
er the Hough bank building. Marshal
Boyle happened along at the time and
took the two men before Justice Taggard,
who, on hearing the explanation OF the
accident, let them off with asharp repri-
mand. The men agreed not to fool with
any more guns while in town and they
went away rejoicing over the fact that
they did not have to pay big fine.
Bogus" Henderson, who was sem
fenced to so days in Jail for violating the

to law Henderson could not be held the
full length of time. Before he was
turned out his clothes were fumigated
by the health officer.

THE STONE CRUSHER.
Description OF the Machine Purchased TO
Make Street improvements.

The portable steel rock crusher or
dered by the city to be used in the i'm
provement OF the streets is one that Will
meet all the requirements OF COM
munity like this. The machine has
been shipped and by April LIST, or
week later, it will be here ready to be
put in operation. This particular ma
chine is No. 3 and cost in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000, including the large seven
ton roller, which is to be used in con-
junction with the crusher. Its capac-
ity is from 10 to IA tons per hour, de-
pending on the amount OF power given
it. This will give from so to 100 tons of
crushed rock day at Il small cost to
the city. The horse power necessary
to operate this machine is Is, which
will have to be provided for hereafter.
The manufacturers of this machine
claim it is the best on the mar
ket today and they guarantee it to do
the work satisfactorily if properly han
died. Many complications SO trouble
some to other crushers are avoided in
this one. There are no cog gearings or
cccentrics to grind and cut out by grit
from the stone, and all parts are made
amply strong. The steel sides and
frame give the necessary strength for
the hardest service with one-third less
weight than crushers of same capacity
with cast iron frames. 1t runs steadily,
because it has no up and down motion,
requiring but very little fastening to
hold it in place 1t is SO simply con-
structed that any ordinary laborer can
operate it. The crushing jaws are
chilled very hard and can be reversed,
and can be quickly adjusted to crush
fine or coarse stone. The manufact-
urers claim it will crush more stone
with less care wear and expense and
give better satisfaction than any other
crusher made, and for crushing soft rock
it is furnished with single and longer
stroke. thus giving it greater movement
of the jaws.
As soon as it arrives it will be tested
and got ready to do the great amount Of
work required for the improvement OF
the city streets.

A Wise Man From The West

Who intends going east will see that his
tickets read by way OF Salt Lake City
and the Rio Grande Western railway
in connection with either the Denver 4
Rio Grande or Colorado Midland rail-
roads, for these reasons First, most
magnificent scenery in America, en-
route; second, choice OF three distinct
routes through the heart of the Rocky
Mountains third, it is the only trans
continental line passing directly through
quaint and picturesque Salt Lake-the
City of the Saints; Fourth, perfect din
ing car service fifth, three fast through
trains daily between Ogden, Denver
and all points east, connecting with all
trains OF the Southern Pacific, and Ore
gon Short Line; sixth, through Pull
man Palace and Ordinary Sleeping Cars
from San Francisco, Portland, etc, to
Denver, Omaha and Chicago. There
are many other reasons why the route
through Salt Lake City over the Rio
Grande Western Railway is the most
comfortable and enjoyable in the whole
