CHILD KICKED BY HORSE.
When Picked Up Was Unconscious,
But Is Slowly Recovering.

Richfield. June 2f.-While playing
around the heels of a mare or colt, at
Monroe last Saturday, the little 2-year-
old ch:iJ Of Mr.. and Mrs. Lars Nielsen
was kicked by one or the other of the
animals. No one saw the affair, but some
children came along and, seeing the child
lying unconscious, supposed il was dead,
and ran in the house and told the mother.
Mrs Nielsen rushed out and picked her
baby up and took it in the house and
summoned assistance, but it was several
hours before consciousness was restored.
The child has not yet fully recovered
from the effects of the blow.
At the beginning of this week there
was eighteen feet and nine inches OF
water available in the otter creek reser-
vOir for use in irrigation this season
This is over four feet more than has
ever before been available, and insures
the maturing of the sugar beet, grain
and second lucern crops. There was a
gain of nine inches of water IN four days
last week. The water in the river is
in the reservoir will soon be called into
use
Alfred Newly of Monroe is about 90
years Of age. Nearly all of last winter
his death was expected at any time. He
laid in an unconscious condition for days
and weeks at a time This spring he
rallied, however, and has been able to
be around for several weeks. He has
had fainting spells this week, but now
seems to be all right again.
Monroe and ElsinOre are to jointly eel
citrate the Fourth of July this year at
Monroe.

ESCAPED FROM JAIL
James Alfred, Charged With Cut
ting Negro With a Razor.
Is at Liberty.

James Alfred. the young man arrested
Wednesday highs by Officer Brown for
s1ashing a negro with razor, escaped
from jail about O'Clock yesterday. morn
ing He was assisted in his efforts by
several other prisoners and the whole af-
fair was carefully planned and worked
like a charm.
Shortly after o'clock Jailer Kimball
entered the Jail as usual to call the pris-
oners for breakfast AS he opened the
door several of the prisoners crowded
about TO take some articles of food from
him Slipping up on the opposite side of
the corridor. Alfred went past the jailer
and out of the door like flash. kimball
saw him and reached for his gun, but the
escaping prisoner vanished around the
corner of the building before the Jaller
could bring the weapon to bear upon him.
Kimbau could not leave the jail to give
chase, as this would have resulted in a
wholesale Jail delivery. BY the time Kim
ball locked the door and went to look for
the prisoner he was nowhere to be seen,
and the officers have been unable to 10
cate him since then.
Alfred is considered by the police to be
a bad man. He has served time in the
state prison for robbery and has been in
trouble many times before. He is very
well known by the police and 1t is believed
that he will be recaptured soon

TO BRIGHTON IN AN AUTO.
Trip Through Big Cottonwood Can
Won Was Made Yesterday.

That automobiles can be used in the
mountains and canyons as well as on
level ground was demonstrated yester-
day. a five-horsepower machine made
the journey 10 Brighton and back in Big
Cottonwood canyon The feat was &C
cOmplished in good time and without any
misha2s-
The trip was made by J. H. Moyle and
G. s Wilkes, in a machine owned by the
latter Gasoline was the power u-ed-
The trip from the city to Brighton was
made in five hours. MI Wilkes stated
that he could easily have made il in
four. but they encountered some large
houlders in the canyon that the autOmO-
bile would not pass over. As a result they
had to get out and exercise their muscles
rolling these big stones out of the way
The return trip was made in two and one
half hours
Big Cottonwood canyon is considered
one of the toughest canyons in this sec
ton. and the success met with in using
an automobile in this canyon is looked
upon as good indication that autOmObil-
ing in the mountains is practicable. This
is probably the first time that an at
tempt has been made to operate an auto
mobile in the canyons of the mountains

and ready for service, but made no effort
10 eiude their serving.
Summoned by Telephone.
The county attorney communicated
with them BY telephone early al tins
morning, notifying them 10 appear before
the police court bar Of justice. Their
willingness to do so obviatcd the necessity
OF the sheriffs placing them under arrest
at their respective places Of business.
When the cases against President Cot
trell and Councilman FCrnstrOm were
called IN court the defendants said they
had no official knowledge Of the crime
OF which they were charged Accordingly
the complaint filed with Judge Diehl
Tuesday afternoon about o clock was
read by the clerk When asked what their
plea was. both the councilmen answered
not guilty"
It was at that juncture that Councilman
F'ermstrom asked that the date for the
preliminary hearing be not set until after
the meeting of the city council Monday
evening. He said he understood the com
plant TO mean that they were charged
with the OffenSe as members of the IL
nance committee of the city council; that
the accusations were made against them
as city officials.
May Ask Nye to Defend.
That being the status of affairs. as he
viewed them, he added that it was more
than likely that a resolution would be
introduced in the city council next Non
day evening. calling upon the city attOr-
ney- who brought the suit against them,
TO defend them
After the councilman from the Third
had made his speech, County Attorney
Westervelt moved that the defendants be
placed under $4,000 bonds or be released
upon their own recOgniZance. After
studying a moment Judge Diehl an
nOunced that ne would release the defend
ants upon their promise to be present at
the preliminary examination, the date of
which he said would be announced later.
That concluded the arraignment of the
cOuncilmen. and they lefS the presence of
the judge, each returning TO his respective
place of business.

SALT LAKE
RAPIDLY FALLING
Water Has Rscedad Three inches
Since June Is.
MAY PASS LOWEST MARK
BUT NINE INCHES HIGHER NOW
THAN LAST YEAR.

The level of Great Salt lake has
fallen three inches since the 18th OF
this month. It now stands just two
feet nine inches below zero. This
mark is but nine inches above the 10 -
est level on record. At the present
rate OF recession the record mark will
be reached within the next three
weeks. and those who have charge OF
the gauge expect to see last Year s
record smashed this season.
A fail of three inches in less than
two weeks is the most rapid fan en-
record, and coming at this season Of
the year. when the water is usually
on its annual rise. it is looked upon as
a bad sign. This time last year the
level of the water was more than two
feet above what it is now, and by the
end OF the summer the mark Of three
feet six inches below zero was re-
corded. II there is a corresponding
fan during the last two months of
summer this year. the level may be
expected to go more than four feet
below the zero mark This. it is esti-
mated VIII move the beach line out
a It least q half mile if not i mile, from
the Saltair pavilion.
Water Going Down Rapidly.
Voluntary Observer Bailey of the
weather station at Saltair states that
the water has been going down for the
past two weeks at a phenomenal rate.
He declares that the recession has
been such as TO be noticeable TO the
eye without the aid of a gauge. The
water that comes near Saltair is SO
shallow that a fan Of two or three
inches exposes acres of new beach.
This recently exposed surface is very
noticea bic about the pavilion.
The water has disappeared TO such
an extent that Antelope island is no
longer an island but a peninsula. The
lake bottom between the island and
the shore proper is high and dry
Only a few years ago there was water
from ten to fifteen feet deep over al
this beach
Captain Davis. who operates gaso-
line launch on the lake. states that
j. is now impossible to get boat
around the south point of Antelope
island. The ground. he says. is barely
covered with water. The water on the
west side of the island has always
been deep, but he states that there IS
a broad expanse of new beach there
that has appeared In a very short time
Less than three years ago he was able
to run his launch up to the pavilion
at Saltair. Now it is impossible 10
get it nearer than a mile from the
pavilion
