ing and Local Application.

The fact that you own and operate
an automobile does not necessarily
mean that you are q stoker. But
this does not alter the fact that the
word Chauffeur which Is coming into
common use in Salt Lake, means
"stcker" in the French, from which II
Is adopted.
The latest dictionary contains about
1900 words that were hitherto unac-
cepted In the English language, the
compiler having culled this number
from about 500,0 words submitted for
acceptance. Naturally, the existence

A Bold Miscreant.

On Tuesday night between 9 and 10
o'clock negro went TO the house OF
the MessrS E"gerSon at Harpers and
attempted to enter By raising the Sash
at one or the windows. At the time
there were no men folk in the house. OF
which fact the negro was probably
aware. But with the Characteristic
bravery Of Southern womanhood ore
of the two ladies Of the house got a
pistol and fired three Shots at the in
truder. which caused him 10 make
tracks in a hurry. The alarm being
given the chain gang blood hounlS
were secured and put on the negro'$
tracks ana the trail was followed TO a
house near by where negro man Wa.
found named Dicks. The only evi.
dence against Dicks was ;he instinct OF
the blood hounds and on this he Wa.
tried and conv icted before the town
council and sentenced to so days Oh tho

pistol and approaching a group Of
several smaller negro boys. pointed
the weapon at the crowd and fired
it. The bullet struck a 4-year-old

penetrating the head for several inch
es and giving the boy Il close call.
Fortunately the ball struck glanc-
lngly and thus the boy escaped. DR..

and the boy is apparently all right
