VERY CLEVER
DETECTIVES.
Policemen Wells ard MilIette
Tracked Negro Thief
EARLY THURSDAY MORNING.
The Negro was Chased to WintsrviIls Where
He was Caught With Stolen Shoes IN His
POSSESSION.

A clever piece of detective or police
work was accomplished last Thurs
day morning by Policemen Wells and
Millette. A suspicious looking negro
was seen ON the levee with a girl
about midnight, and on making the
rounds of their beats about 2 a m,
they discovered the door Of shoe
shop on Washington avenue open and
some shoes missing. On further ex-
animation they discovered where the
thief tried to effect an entrance into
other houses.
The negro was at once suspicioned
and the dogs sent for, but on arrival
they failed to take up the track.
Policeman Wells, and Milette then
mounted horses and took up the trail
of the negro, and near the big Black
bridge, this side of Winterville, they
got a glimpse Of their man, who also

The Daily Utah State Journal,
with Frank ]. Cannon as editor, bids
fair to become formidable rival to
the Ogden Standard. The Journal
is the smaller fellow, but there is
that about him that impresses us
with the idea that he has not got his
growth and that when he does he
will be heavyweight. Cannon and
Glassman used to be bosom friends,
but judging by the way in which the
Journal tries to "sic" the Governor
and Attorney General onto the edi-
tor of the Standard in its issue Of
the 10th inst, we conclude that they
no longer feel that way, at least
Cannon does not, and Glassman
hadn't ought to, unless he is more
of a christian and less of a mortal
than we take him for. II will be
rare sport to watch these old war
riors chaw each other. 1t will be a
royal battle, too. They both have
sharp teeth and long claws.

fraud before his eyes he hesitated
and sought advice among his friends;
all though the offer seemed honest
and finally after receiving another
letter from Ostrandcr, stating that
he had exceptionally good opportu-
mites for advertising the property
and that he would send copies of the
papers in which it was advertised,
the twelve dollars was sent. After
a while a receipt came for the mon.
ey, and in about a month or six
weeks here came the copies of the
twenty papers in which the adver-
tisements we're. Now in view Of the
detailed description that had been
required and given of the property
our friend expected the advertise
ment would be rather an elaborate
affair, and he thought it would be
seen at glance, especially as only
one leaf of each paper was sent. But
it took him several minutes to find
it, and the chances are that he
would not have found it at all # 1t
had not been indicated by a faint
blue pencil mark which the obligng
Ostrander had placed opposite it on
the margin of the paper. 1t consist
ed in each paper of single line of
small print which read, blouse and
lot in --- City, Utah" At the
head of the column in which this
advertisement, in common with near
ly or quite a hundred others of like
appeared, we're the
words "FOR SALE, Enquire of w.
NJ. OstIander,', followed by mis- adj
dress. When our friend looked
down that column of advertisements
and estimated them at twelve dollars
apiece, he could understand that
there are more and easier ways Of
money in This world than
farming in Iron county in the Old
Field with no water right. The
twelve dollars has not been heard of
since, as far as we have been able to
learn. Our friend still has his prop
erty, and Ostrander has not yet
made application for the other part
of the fee. In his advertisements
now he frequently puts his picture
and he certainly looks to be am "In-
nocent Cuss.,' In this matter it can
not be said that he did not keep his
word, for he did not agree to sell
the property, and he did advertise it;
and as to keeping everlastingly at
il" who can doubt it that sees how
his notices in the papers expand;
and who can blame him when he can
make twelve dollars apiece so easily
off his victims1
