J0HNSTON'S CHASE.
Had a Lively Time With Morphine
Fiend Yesterday Afternoon.

For several days complaints have
been received at police headquarters

strangely up In the eastern part OF
town, near the old exposition grounds,
and the patrol wagon has been called
out several times TO run the man
down. II was reported that he was
crazy and was likely to do some harm
The officers were unable 10 locate him,
however, until about o'clock yester-
day afternoon.
Officers Sperry and Johnston went
out to the grounds in the patrol wagon
and got there Just in time to see the
man jump over the fence and run for
dear life, Johnson took after him, and
the man jumped back over the fence.
The officer kept right after his man
and was gaining on him when the fel.
low tried 10 take Off a heavy overcoat
he was wearing that he might run the
faster when Johnson pulled his revolt
yer and threatened 10 shoot II the man
did not stop, The sight Of the weapon
had the desired effect The man gave
his name as c. D. Blair. When search
ed az the station a morphine outfit was
found on him and when the officers
took II away he began to yell like mad.
He was insane from the effects of the
drug and yelled and shouted IN the
most ncoherent manner Later officer
Sperry discovered that he had stolen
some tools from a second -hand store.
and the charges Of petit larceny and
vagrancy were lodged against him.

Land and Water Commissioner Fish
err reports that all the canals are re-
ceiying more water than they can ac-
commodate, as the result Of operating
all the pumps at the Utah lake pump
ing plant, and that the water in many
instances overlows and floods the high

travellers. Now that the irrigation sea-
son is closed Mr.. Fisher is of the opln-
ion that one pump could supply the
canals with all the water needed and
the other pumps could be shut down.

running the plant, and the water which
is now being pumped out and allowed 90

that the company had TO keep a watch
