EMERG NCY PLANS.
Utah Light & Power Company Pre-
pairing for the Future.

The Utah Light x Power company
proposes TO be prepared for any emer-
gency that may arise for a term Of
years, and preliminary plans are In
preparation for an increase Of the Jor-
dan river plant TO 500 horse power
over and above what was originally
proposed. making the entire capacity
Of the plant 5000 horse power
The idea Is however, TO depend
mainly on the water power plants IN
ogden and Big Cottonwood canyons,
using the steam powers only as o re-
serve, when the demand Is for more
power than the water plants can sup
ply, in cold spells when the water runs
low or Is all frozen up, or In case Of
breakd0wns. The Second East street
plant has already been closed down,
and no more dense smoke rolls from tht
tall stack to load the atmosphere up
with SCOT, and the Fourth West street
station will soon be shut down. The
central station, back Of the Tribune
building. viii continue to be used, but
as the distributor OF the direct current
system. and as the boilers there are all
equipped with the automatic stokers,
there Is DO more trouble with smoke
from that source
The executive committee OF the COM
pany met this morning, and discussed
the proposed Improvements faYorabB.
II Is estimated that the proposed in
crease In the Jordan river plant means
a further outlay OF 100000.

KNIGHT NOT ARRESTED.
Now There il Little Hope OF Finding
Alleged wife Murderer.

Cheyenne. wyo., April li--There is now
little hope Of the arrest OF Frank e.
knight Of Omaha the alleged wfe-mur-
derer OF that city. The police last night
Cllowed the game TO slip through their
1ugers and the trap they set will never
e sprung. II Il believed that, meeting
his inamOrita, Jeanne Dusenberry, Knight
was warned that the officers were look
ing for him and that he at once left the
city. Some think he left for the east,
slowed IN a freight train, while others
are Of the opinion that he has gone TO
the mountains north Of here In the Big
Horn country.
To add to the complications acting
without authority from the police OF
Omaha. Jeanie Dusenberry was arrested
today. There is no charge against her.
and Il Is known that II Mrs. Knight was
murdered In Omaha this woman had no
hand in the tragedy, as she was 800 miles
away AT the time Of the commission OF
the crime.
The arrest OF the Dusenberry woman
will be a warning TO knight. and he Will
not again come to Cheyenne.
