Marshal Hopkins
Wants Ducks.

What kind of domestic duck is it
that looks so much like mallard ?"
was the question asked by United
States Marshal Charles B. Hopkins
this morning of his worthy assist
ants, Felix Pugh and George Daven-
peck. Il want to get some just be-
fore the season opens on the 18th OF
August as decoys."
THE Rouen," answered Pugh, from
the depths of his knowledge of duck
lore gained on his ranch. I'm fact,
they are nothing but a domesticsted
mallard and can call their cousins for
miles. Besides they get lonesome
when out on a lake and call to beat
the band"
See here, boss" came from Dav-
enpeck, I'm onto your game. You
want to shoot some of your own de-
coys after you have them tied up,
and then go home and tell your wife
of your skill in hitting the wild
ones"
Hopkins still says that he wants
tame ducks as decoys for wild ones
not later than the 18th of August.

SIS, 900 injuries
from Explosion.

The complaint in the case of Will
liam C. Ward against the Empire
State Idaho Mining & Milling com
pany has been transferred to the fed
eral court. Ward claims that on No
vember "a. 1902, he was mucker In
the Last Chance mine at Wardner.
Idaho, owned by the company, and
that while he was employed in a
drift 18 blasts of dynamite were ex-
ploded prematurely within 80 feet OF
him, killing two miners, injuring an
other and himself. He was knocked
senseless by the first explosion and
was unable to help himself during
the others which followed in rapid
succession.
He charges the company with al
lowing a drunken and incompetent
miner to light the fuses and attend
to the work Of loading the drill
holes. He asks damages Of s25, 900
and costs. r. L. Edmiston is his at
torney.

The population Of Fanville is sore.
Both of yesterdays games with the
Mormons were wanted and wanted
badly. After the shutout in the first
one 1t was believed the second would
be won in a walk. Carney did strange
and curious things to the Josephites
on Friday, but they reversed things
on him in his game of yesterday. King
Nichols handed the elders and bish-
ops a huge basket Of goose eggs

DEAD PHONE POLES
DEFACE RIVERSIDE

do you see that line of dead sky
scraper poles that extends along the
north side Of Riverside avenue" said
a prominent business man today. "If
you notice there is not a wire on the
poles. They are merely an eyesore, a
nuisance to owners of business prop
erty and joke to visitors from other
cities that are up to date"
The speaker told the truth. These
poles, the highest on the avenue, are
denuded of wires. excepting single
guy wires for the overhead trolley.
With their loft tops and naked cross
arms they make strange spectacle
along the avenue through the heart
of the business section of the city.
Apparently the poles have been up
for years.
A city official whose attention was
called to the poles was of the opinion
that the poles had been succeeded by

Suit Over Hack Hire.

Q. T. Terwiiliger. a hackman'
brought suit in Justice Stocker's
court this morning against Arthur
D. Jones; the real estate man. for
S1.5o for hack hire. The -complaint
states that on January 25 Jones and
two other parties were conveyed by
the complainant from. the Great
Northern depot to the Pedicord hotel
and then conveyed Jones to his resi-
dence at f719 Riverside avenue, a dis
lance Of 16 blocks. TerwiIliger stated
the job was worth $3.50. Jones claim
ed he was overcharged, and instead Of
$3.50 it should have been 81. The
defendant appeared in Judge Stock
er's court this morning and rendered
81 and the accrued costs of 60 cents.
A judgment was returned for 81 and
costs.

the conduit which the telephone COM
pany has laid for it's wires along the
alley between Riverside avenue and
Main avenue and that the company
had been too penurious or careless to
chop down the poles.
Street Commissioner Root said to-
day that he would Immediately look
into the matter. 1t is believed that
the city requires these poles to be
used or to be taken down, and n
there Is such a provision in the ordi-
nance these poles will be given short
shrift
In Salt Lake the city council has
ordered the Bell Telephone company
to Immediately taken down its poles.
under penalty Of having the city take
them down at the expense of the
company. Another Godsend has come
to Salt Lake through the granting of
a franchise to rival telephone COM
pany and the city service is in better
condition than for years.

officials for the most part are not
fond of the change. 1t will necessi-
tate re-marking the field at right an
giles to the present lines In order to
ascertain when the quarter has gone
out the required five yards. This
will make the football field look like
a huge checkerboard with 3025 Ave
yard squares. The chances are that
the long pass will be used to evade
the new rule. which makes the dan
ger of losing the ball greater and
calls for a strong line.

POLICE SEARCH FOR
MYSTERIOUS STRANGER

The police department is search
ing for a mysterious stranger who
was seen with George Mitchell
among the lower Stevens street sa-
looms early last Thursday night, the
night on which Mitchell was MUIR
dered.
In the mind of officials there is no
doubt but that Mitchell met his death
through falling in with the men who
haunt the tougher saloons OF the city
and who have their rendezvous in the
boxes provided In these saloons.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1903-07-06

all mass play with the exception of
the old tandem back field plunges
through holes made in the line.
The quarterback rule Is consider
ed compromise with those advo-
eating the mass play IN the middle
of the field. BY the new rule. be-
tween the 2b-yard lines the quarter
back may run, with the ball, but he
must carry it five yards outside of
the place where it was put into play.
That is, the quarter must make end
runs, and con not hit the line.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1903-07-06

Mitchell was a heavy drinker. a
man who talked and man who was
fond Of showing his money. No sane
man doubts for minute but that
the murdered man was spotted in
some of the cheap saloons which he
haunted while on his spree, and there
is absolutely no doubt but that the
evil Inducements offered by these sa-
looms to criminal classes are RESPONSE
bic for this murder-one of the most
horrible crimes that has been put
up to the police department Of the
city for solution In recent years.

new RULES MAKE GRIDRON A CHECkER-BOARD

The two changes in the football
rules, just announced by the rules
committee, will tend to make the
game more interesting to the spec
tators, more open in character, and
consequently safer for the player
The new rules affect the rush line
and quarterback positions, and in
general are aimed at a restriction Of
the mass formation" which has been
SO severely criticised lately on ac-
count Of the numerous men injured
last season.
The first Of the new rules makes
It impossible for the guards, end or
tackle back plays to be used in the
center of the field, although there
Is no restriction on those plays with
in the 25-yard line. The entire rush
line, consisting Of seven men, must
hereafter remain In position until the
ball is in play. This will prevent
