HELFRICH ESCAPES AGAIN.
Former Ogden Man Was in Trouble
in Boise.

Former Ogden Man Was in Trouble
in Boise.
William Y. Helfrich. who was re-
Gently suspended from Office as city
clerk Of Boise for indulging in a poker
game, is well known in Utah For
merly he lived in Ogden, where he was
elected city treasurer in February, 1891.
At the end of a year and half he
resigned his Office on account of ir-
regularities found in his financial
transactions with the city and with
the school board. Later Helfrich went
to New York, and while there he was
arrested and brought back on war
rant charging him with the crime of
embezZlement The amount of his de-
falcation was made good and thus he
escaped prosecution.
At the time Of Helfrich's trouble in
Ogden he was assistant cashier of the
bank of which O. +. Hill was cashier.
Hill vas convicted Of taking funds
from the bank and served ten years
in Jail.
For several years past Helfrich has
been in Boise. It was found the other
day that he was S747 short in his ac-
counts as city clerk and the amount of
the GefalcatiOH was made good by his
bOndsmen. On account of Helfrich' s
wife it is not believed that he will be
prosecuted. He has obtained new
position and will begin life anew under
promises to reform.

PREPARING TO
ENFORCE LAW
Game and Fish Commissioner
Sharp to Prosecute Offenders.
He HAS TAKEN FIRM STAND
TEST CASE AGAINST REsTAU-
RANT MAN TO BE MADE.
He Has TAKEN FIRM STAND

Enforcement of the state game and
fish laws is to be maintained more rig
Idly in the future than has been the
case in the particularly as re-
CARDS the slaughLsy of FISH. State Game
and Fish Commisshlner John Sharp is
convinced that nothing short of rigOr-
Gus prosecutions and severe punish
ments will put stop to Aefning, spear
ms and the use Of explosives to aid
pot hunters in their work Of supplying
the salt Lake and Ogden markets, and
mas announced that no clemency VII
be shown offenders in future.
The commissioner is confident that al
manner Of evasions are being resorted
to in order to supply the market Dur
ing the closed seasons with various
KINDS Of fish and game, and asserts
that 1t is impossible to preserve the
supply in view of this fact unless some
step is taken that will put a quietus
on the operations Of the offenders. In
this connection he is going to try and
prevent the sale under any circum-
stances of game, the taking of which
is prescribed in Utah.
Will Make Test Case.
Arrangements are being made tn
bring a test case to determine the
rights of restaurateurs supplying game
OUT OF season, the game being adver-
USED as imported or taken from pri-
Yate preserves. The test case the com
missioner has in mind will be brought
within few days to determine the
intent of the law affecting the sale of
trout during the close season. which
began on Dec. Is and will continue
until the middle of June
salt Lake restaurant keepers are
serving trout daily, asserting the fish
are from private ponds. Prosecutions
VIII be commenced against the restau-
rant proprietors and a test case will be
carried to the highest courts. Com
missioner Sharp insists that every sale
OF trout is violation of the law re-
Of where the fish are secured.
over 100000 brook trout are being
Matched at the state hatchery prepare

of the state. This distribution

CHAMBERLAIN PRESENT.
First Cabinet Meeting of the New

First Cabinet Meeting of the New
Administration.
London, July 1S.-The premier, A.
j. Balfour, presided in the foreign Of
hce at the first cabinet meeting of the
new administration. The colonial Sec
rsfary, Joseph Chamberlain, was suf-
ficiently recovered from the effects of
the cab accident to be able to attend.
He was pale but otherwise showed no
signs of his injuries. 5=
The meeting of the cabinet gave
fresh impetus to the reconstruction re-
ports. The most interesting of these
for America is the suggestion that the
Duke of Marlborough will succeed
Lord Curzon of Kedleston as viceroy Of
India, but there is not the least possi-
tbility of any such appointment. It is
doubtful If Lord Curzon will come
home before the expiration of his term
of Office. AS a matter of fact there is
no appointment which could be Of
fered him, except the foreign office,
which would be promotion from the
viceroyalty of India, and there is no in
dication that Lord Landsdowne has
any intention of retiring. Under no cir
cumstances, however, would the Duke
Of Marlborough be given such an i'm
portant post as India, though he might
possibly succeed Earl Cadogan as lord
lieutenant of Ireland. All suggestions
made in regard to appointments are
still of highly tentative character,

FOR KILLING HIS WIFE.
John Anderson Strung Up by a Mob al
OWensboro, KY.

Owensboro, KY, July 18.-John An
derson, a farmer who was in Jail here
charged with the murder of his wife
on the night of July 8, was taken from
prison by masked mob of about forty
men and hanged in one of the principal
streets of Owensboro at about 2:3O
q. m.
The lynchers, who are supposed to
have come from the scene of Ander-
sons alleged crime about three miles
west of Owensboro, came quietly. On
being refused admittance to the Jail
they battered down the prison door
and went and led the prisoner out
The jailer and his family were pre-
vented from giving the alarm. Ander-
son was led across the street from the
prison where he was hanged to beam
over a pair of scales. The mob then
dispersed quietly. No arrests have
been made.
Anderson was the first white man
ever lynched in Davies county. At the
time the murder with which he was
charged was committed Anderson and
his wife had been separated for about
seven weeks and Mrs. Anderson was
living at her fathers house, whittier
Anderson went for the alleged purpose
OF affecting a reconciliation. The
woman's father, it is said. entered
some objections and the irate husband
then dragged his wife into the yard
and shot her to death. He was arrest
ed shortly after the crime and placed
in the Owensboro jail.

IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.
Butler Controversy Brought Up by a
Member,

London, July 1S.-The Butler con-
troversy was again raised by Sir Ed
ward Grey (LiberaD in the house of
commons on the war office vote. Sir
Edward, charged the war Office officials
with acting unfairly towards General
Butler and demanded the publication
of further papers.
The war secretary, Mr.. Brodrick, op-
posed further publication, which, he
declared, could not relieve General
Butler of the responsibility of such
mistakes as the abandonment of the
guns at Colenso and the proposals to
surrender Ladysmith, which, if they
had been listened to, would have pro-
duced disaster for which there was
no parallel in British history. In re-
gard to those proposals, continued Mr..
Brodrick, when General Butler sounded
his note of despair to General White,
he had heliogram in his pocket, re-
ceived fortnight before, saying that
General White had provisions for sew
enty days and could defend Ladysmith
while the food lasted. General Buffers
retention after Colenso and Spion Kop
was inevitable under the circum-
stances and his appointment to COM
mand at Aldershot was simply re-
sumption of his former office. General
Butler was q good peace commander" :"

ARCHBISHOP FEEHAN's FUNERAL
Hundreds of Priests Attend the Last
Sad Rites.

Chicago, July 18.-With much pomp
and imposing ceremony and in the
presence of the cardinal of the church
and great gathering Of ecclesiastical
dignitaries the last rites of the Roman
Catholic service for the dead were per.
formed for Archbishop Patrick A. Fee.
han at the Cathedral of the Holy Name.
Early in the day a series of masses
was begun by the numerous visiting
priests, ending in the great pontifcal
requiem mass.
1t is estimated that during the time
the body of the dead archbishop lay in
state in the cathedral over $4,000 per-
sons passed it in review. So great was
the demand for admission to the serv-
ices that after 1900 visiting priests
had been accommodated only two lay
persons from each parish in the Chi
cago archdiocese could be admitted.
The funeral cortege was the most i'm
posing that ever passed through the
streets of Chicago.
