tinctly heard down stairs but before the
women folks, who vere alone in the
house, could call aid he Wa frightened
away. At tho home Of Peter Luchsingef
. vstch and other jewelry have been
stolen. A. Hsintz had gold watch and
fifteen cents in change taken last Tues

there and to examine their brick rela-
tive to transscting business With the

An interestin1 letter WAS receiyef

An interesting letter was received
recently from Archibald J. Sampson the
U. s. minister to Ecuador, South Amer
ic, that many Of our readers would enjoy
reading. Mr.. Sampson is a relative of
the Turner family here and has in years
pest made many visits to Columbus. We
quote parts of the letter which are entire
ly Of q public nature: For the last SIX
months our mails have been very irreg-
ulaf on account Of quarantine at Guaya-
quill I send my mail pouch ont each
got no farther than Guayaquil until
there wefe i've or six Of them here. As
there were no steamers either coming or
going, We failed to get any mail for some
time. Your winter must have fingered
in the lap Of spring. We are in the
middle Of winter now. yet eating fresh
ripe apples, while the apple blossoms
have come for another crop. We also
have many other kinds Of fresh ripe
fruits and berries. We have as many as
IN average OF twenty kinds Of fruits and
berries each month in the year. Our
winter 10 your summer. 1t seems odd to
us, even yet, to have the sun pass from
east to west by the north instead of by
the south. When summer comes it will
pass by the south instead Of by the
north. We are now located in Guapulo
one-half hour distant from Quito lin this
country they always say it is 50 much
time TO q place and not miles, 1t is
lower and warmer than Quito. The
legation when We are away is occupied
by Mr.. HallOck Of San Francisco, who is
director OF public works of Ecuador.
We had over twenty Indians come in to
move us Out-ru9s, mattresses, stove,
charcoal, potatoes and many other things.
Each carried 100 to 100 pounds and each
was to receive less than twenty cents Of
our money. They had to go in about
three miles and carry out such load for
such . price. What would labOrers in
the United States think of such wages?
For q email package, one will 60 there
for less than ten cents. You ought to
have seen the church procession that
came down hero from Quito the other
day. Moro than ono thousand walked

KILLED
BY A STREET CAR

Collision.
TOP OF HEAD WAS CRUSHED
NO BLAME ATTACHED 10 MO-
ToRMAN OR CONDUCTOR.
TOP OF HEAD WAS CRUSHED

Atkinson Whitworth, a peddler resid-
ing at GA North second West street.
was Instantly killed about o'clock last
evening by being struck by a trolley
car
He was riding in wagon and swung
across the track directly in front of the
Oregon Short Line depot car at Second
West and South Temple streets. The
force of the collision threw Whitworth
about twenty feet and ne struck the
pavement on his head. The entire top
OF his skull was broken in by the ter
rife blow. and death was instantaneous.
AS near as can be learned, the acct
dent was unavoidable. According to
ye-witnesses to the affair, Whitworth
was driving west on South Temple
street just ahead of the car. Evidently
he did not notice the approach of the
car for just as he reached the inter
section Of Second West street ne swung
directly across the tracks not more
than ten feet in front of the car, which
was going at a rapid rate.
Dead When Picked Up.
The fender struck the front Of the
wagon, knocking the horse down and
throwing WhitwOrth clear of the debris.
He alighted on his head and when
picked up was dead
DR.. c. +. Wilcox was summoned and
declared that death was instantaneous.
The body was removed to J. w. Tay-
lor's undertaking establishment and
WhitWorth's relatives notified.
The deceased was a peddler and was
60 yeah Is Of age. He leaves a wife and
three children. two sons and a daugh-
ter. He has lived in Salt Lake for
nearly korty years.
No blame is attached to the car crew
by those who witnessed the accident.
Motorman w. G. Bywater and Con-
ductor Harley Mowry were in charge
Of the bar, and both declare that the
car waf not going at more than the
speed prescribed by law. Whitworth
evidently did not hear the approach of
the car! and turned his. horse across the
tracks just in time to be struck. Cor
oner Clark was notified but NJ inquest
was deemed necessary. 80
