STRANGERS WILD TALE.
DR.. Sol Kimball Treats a Bad Case
of Jams.

Trembling with excitement, and ap-
parently suffering from OVeT-stimula-
ton, a stranger who gave his name as
William ByTne appeared at police sta
ton yesterday afternoon and related a
thrilling tale concerning murderOuS
conspiracy Byrne declared that the
cOnspiratOrs five young men, had been
logging his steps for the past two or
three days, making covert threats to
murder him. The men, whom Byrne
did not know and could not describe,
seemed to be imbued, he said, with the
idea that he was bad man who used
a gun on every occasion, and he de-
cIared that they had started the report
that he had riddled the bodies of two
or three men somewhere in the east.
Byrne said that he came here about
a week ago from Sandy, looking for
work. but that he could get only Spe
job, which lasted one day, and he de-
clared that in the last two days he had
had only one meal, and that only a
piece of one. One of the men followed
him from Sandy, and the others made
their appearance here. Sunday the i've
men met him near the city and county
building and followed him up the
street, and he declared that he heard
them telling each other that he was a
bad man who had shot some men, and
who was a dangerous man with his
gun. Byrne said that on every turn
he would find the same men, who, he
alleged, would always be talking about
him and plotting to dispose of him. he
believed the men wanted to murder
him, and asked the protection of the
police When questioned by the police,
Byrne admitted that he had been drink
ing. and later admitted to the chief that
he had been on a spree
The officers decided that the stranger
was suffering from what they term
snakes" and the chief called in "DT."
KimbaI. The doctor" got out his
sure cure for drunkenness" and ad-
ministered a large dose. The patient
thought he felt better then, and de-
Darted.

JOHNSON WAS LAME.
Why He Did Not Obey Federal Court
Summons.

William Johnson of Box Elder county,
defendant in the case of the Central
Pacific VS.. William Johnson, appeared
before Judge Marshall yesterday to
show cause why he should not be pun
iShed for contempt of court for not ap-
pearing before a referee to testify as
to the amount OF property he owns.
Johnson said he failed to appear be-
cause he was crippled at the time His
story was cOrrObOTated by his daughter,
but the Dlaintiff held that it could
prove that defendant was running
around at the time he claims he was
lame, and asked for time to bring wit
neSses to prove its statement. Judge
Marshall denied the request, on the
ground that it would be an injustice to
force defendant to come down from Box
Elder county again, and, therefore, dis
charged him. The order was made,
however, that he appear before Charles
E. Baldwin today and give the desired
testimony.
This case has been hanging fire since
1898. In October of that year plaintiff
obtained judgment against Johnson,
and had him cited to appear before a
referee on supplemental proceedings,
which Johnson failed to do.

AN AFFLICTED FAMILY.
Three Members Have Died Within
Two Weeks.

largely attended. The speakers were FL
ders George Miller, William Foreman,
Hyrum GOff and Joseph Boden Of the

Salt Lake. The interment took place in
the Herman cemetery.
The death Of this worthy man is rem
dered doubly sad by the fact that it is
the third death to occur in this family
in two weeks and all from the same
cause, pneumonia. The first to succUmb
was William Crane of Draper, who died
at the home of his mother, Mrs Sarah

now the other brother is dead. A third
brother is just recovering from severe
