The lottery mans scheme was to send
out circulars to hotel people to induce
them to help him start business in this
locality and that, promising his vic
Tins that he would fix it so that they
would be sure to win at least $500 on
the next months drawing on the in
vestment of $3.50 for SIS worth of tick
cts But how the suckers did bite.
Curtis did not operate here very long,
leaving the Monday before Christmas,
and requesting his landlady to forward
for the ensuing week only all his mail
to ]. z. Meyer at Ogden. The lodging
house keeper complied with the re-
quest, and her border never reap
peared on the scene His mail accumu-
lated fast after his flight, and was fin
ally returned to the postoffice. 1t is
surmised by the postal authorities,
however, that the swindler took thou
sands of dollars away with him with
out sending any tickets in the lottery to
the people he had worked by the raw
game.
Curtis is a comparative stranger in
Salt Lake. He is said to be a telegraph
operator by profession, and has one
hand missing, but he usually keeps the
stump concealed by pOlxing it in his
pocket.

How Two PhiIanthropists Saved
a Young Offender.

Hon A. c. Cleveland. the widely
known rancher of Spring Valley, Ne
vada, did a service yesterday that
stamps him as one of those good men
who believe in making a worthy citi-
zen of an indiscreet boy, rather than
sending linn to jail TO COIN nee a Grim
inaI career.
1t was while Mr.. Cleveland was on
the train coming fro Denver a couple
Of days ago that he Sad with dismay
in The Herald about the arrest of one
Bob Griffin at Mr.. CleVeIands ranch on
the charge of stealing a horse and sad
die at Bingham two years ago from
Buffers livery stable, and the inten-
ton of Sheriff NaylOr to secure requi-
sition papers for the return of the flu
gitiVe. At once Mr.. Cleveland became
interested and yesterday he called
upon County Attorney Christensen and
Sheriff NaylOr to intercede for Griffin
1t was explained by the big-hearted
Nevada rancher that the fugitive had
come to his place a couple of years
ago in search of work. Employment
was given the lad. who was then only
about 10 years of age, and all this while
he has proven himself to be an indus
tr1ouS and trustworthy hand at the
ranch So attached had Mr.. Cleveland
become to the boy that he had him at
tend school at the ranch. and not
knowing anything about young Griffin S
antecedents he had planned to help
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1901-03-17

him make a useful and honorable citi-
zen.
Thomas Weir, the mining operator,
had also become interested, without So
licitatiOn. in the charge against Griffin
from recalling that he knew the boy
as one of BinghamS brightest lads,
who, on account of an undesirable
home, had taken the horse and saddle
from the livery stable and struck out
for the west.
These matters were presented yeSter-
day afternoon by both Mr.. Cleveland
and MIR. Weir to the county attorney
and the sheriff and both grew eloquent
in pleading that the charge of larceny
against the boy be withdrawn The
telephone was brought into use to OBJ
tain from Mr.. Butter his consent TO
withdraw the prosecution upon pay
ment of the value of the horse and
saddle. and this the boys benefactors
agreed to do.
The officers were surprised to learn
>hat Griffin is a mere boy and they
concluded to let the prosecution drop
IN the interest of the boys future,
which Mr.. Cleveland promises will yet
be full of honor to oVerbalance his one
indiscretion that he has already partly
outlived.
What disposition was made by young
Griffin of the horse and saddle is known
only by the lad and the party to whom
he sold it before getting work at the
Cleveland ranch.

ised himself as the general manager
Of the lottery company in this country

pany's United States branch Office was

CENSUS OF GERMANY.
Shows a Population Now Of About
56,OoO,OOO.


Washington, March 16.-The census
office has received through the state de-
partment a consular report on the pop
ulation of the German empire and its
changes during the past century. That
population is now $4,000. 600. larger than
of any country in Europe except Rus
STA, which has in Europe alone over
106, 0O0, 900 subjects.
Since 1871, when the modern German
empire was organized. the population
Of Germany has increased about 30 per
cent, a growth extremely rapid for an
old country and for one sending out
large and steady streams of enigTants.
The Germans feel a natural pride IN
the rapid growth of their population,
says the report, compared with that Of
their rival across the Rhine. In 1885
France had about &c, 000, GOO inhabitants
and Germany $4,000 900. Now France
has about 81. 100000. or only two-thirds
the number of Germany.
