Railroad passenger agents
have entered into a combine,
they say for the purpose of pro
tecting the public against ticket
scalpers. If the public has been
asking for such protection we
hadn't heard of it. A goodly
portion of the public knows that
there would be no such occupa-
ton as ticket scalping if they
were not used by railroads
against each other.

Sheriff FIbeck's turn to respond to

sherlH spoke disparagingly of the
Americans living in the country and his
speech reached a climax when he said
that 1T Is to be regretted that ali the
Americans Of the Yukon country are
of the Soapy Smith kind"
Miner at once jumped to his feet
with the words. Am I to be insulted o.
and threw his glass of wine in the
sherif's face.
He then walked out Of the banquet
hall.
The others in the party made every
effort to reconcile the men and the
sheriff, realizing his error. made an
elaborate apology, but it took all the
men present at the banquet t. keep

Ogden, Jan. 13.--An accident to the
overflow shaft OF the pipe line OF the
Utah Lisht & Power company this sf-
terROon in Ogden canyon let out an
extra flow of water and caused a rock
and landslide that destroyed the steel
bridge across ogden river.
Travel between Ogden valley. which
includes Huntsville. Liberty and Eden,
is blocked. and there is some danger
that the supply of light and power for
salt Lake may have to be Curtailed
while the repairs are being made.
It is noted as a singular coincidence
that this IS the first important acct
dent 10 any portion of the pipe line
since the plant started, and this acci-
dent happened the very day of the
funeral of G. X Bannister. the man
who planned and supervised the con-
strUction of the pipe line.
Nature of Accident.
Just where the pipe line. high up on
the north side wall of the canyon
energies from the gorge and Just before
II starts northward along the face of
the mountain. the pipe passes through
a tunnel through solid rock. a shaft
was run from the surface down to tan
the pipe so as TO form a means of over
now. This forms sort of safety valve
as when the pressure gets above a Ger
tain point the water rises thrOugh this
shaft and falls in a beautiful cascade
known as Overflow Falls, down to the
bottom OF Ogden canyon at point
Just above the bridge. By some agency.
whether pressure from within or force
from without a section of the natural
rock broke away, making it possible
for the water to escape from a much
lower level than was its won't Ii also
caused the water to fall a little further
10 the westward. and its action on the
cliffs oVerhanging the bridge brought
rocks tumbling down upon the struc-
ture which was knocked from its abut-
ments into the river. Water and stones
continued TO fall for considerable
time. The pipe itself was not damaged
50 far as a cursOry examination could
determine, but the retaining wall was
partly washed away Being waste
water, the escape did not lessen the
water power at the power house, the
hydraulic effect being TO cause more
water to enter the pipe at the intake
about five miles UP the canyon.
The Bridge Destroyed.
The bridge taken away was accepted
by the county from the Andrews Bridge
company about four years ago. It was
a l00-fOOt span, and had an eighteen
foot roadway. It's value was about
$4,000. Some of the old material can

.FILIPINOS ARE HANGED
Many Are Executed by Order of
Macarthur.
MURDER is CHARGED
CAMP OF OUTLAWS IS ACCUSED
OF VARIOUS DEEDS.

Washington. Jan. Peoples OF general
orders from the Philippines received here.
show that a large number of native Fill
pinos have been convicted Of murder and
other crimes and sentenced to be hanged
or 10 long terms of Imprisonment In one
case the accused belonged to an organized
mob which. under the name of Guardia
de Honor. had for its declared intention

These inhumsn methods says Gen

Of the bands from the pale of the law and
place them among that class of cowardly
and secret asSasSlnS which all civilized
men the world over hold TO be enemies OF
Murderers in Outlaw Camp.
A native named Vincente Prado estab-
llshed a camp in strong position dlfTcuiC
OF access in the mountainous district near
Rosario, small province There he en-
trenched his camp and erected buildings,
and a band OF armed outlaws gathered
about him. Recently two Americans were
taken into the camp as prisoners. and Tor
no apparent reason other than tnat they
were enemies they were ordered TO in
slant death. Shortly afterward two lg
gorrotes, man and a woman, were taken
before Hrado and charged with oeing
American spies. Without any attempt al
proof or form of trial, they were ordered
to be executed Immediately. In both in
stances PTddO personally witnessed The
execution of his orders by members of his
outlaw band, who used their bOlOs on the
defenseless prisoners
Town Burned and People eKilled.
On another occasion Prado ordered his
band to attack and burn the pueblo of san
Jacint0. and to arrest and IF he resisted,
kill the president Of Rosario. In pur-
suance OF these orders the president of
Rosario and his son were killed and 1l3
houses destroyed by fire. PradO and his
chief outlaw assistants were sentenced TO
be hanged.
Another native sentenced to be hanged
was Pedro Lachica. This man was one
of a band of natives who, representing
themselves TO be policemen. entered a
night several houses and by threats and
use Of firearms induced the natives TO
come out and surrender. They then tied
the arms of the men behind their backs
and beat them with bOlOs and robbed the
. house of money, Jewelry and other valu-
ables-
