Rev. A. c.. Hogbin, pastor Of the
Union Presbyterian church, whose
place of worship was badly damaged
by fire yesterday morning. as told in
The Republican of that afternoon, has
called a meeting of the members of
the church and the congregation for
this evening, at his home, corner of
Sixth and Grand avenue, to consider
what action to take in regard to Sun
day services and to plan for the future.
The congregation is helpless now. and
it will require hard and concerted eff
fort on the part of everybody to bring
order out Of the present seeming
chaos.
A lady remarked yesterday afternoon
that the probability of tramps starting
the fire in the basement Of the church
was hardly tenable in her mind.
There are comparatively few tramps
now" she said, land they would hunt
a more congenial rendezvous than the
basement of a church. My idea is
that the fire was started by coal
thieves. Yes, coal thieves. l an told
that the coal supply was kept In the
basement, and that the basement was
not difficult of recess from the out.
side. 1t is likely, in my judgment,
that a coal thief entered the basement
through the window the ~janitor says
was found open, and in hunting for the
pile of coal, or for any other reason,
he struck a match, the match COM
%municating to some highly inflammable
material and that to the woodwork of
the structure. The thief was probably
gone some time before the fire was
noticed and an alarm turned in, as it
is not likely a thief or a tramp would
be in the basement at c o'clock in the
morning"

Second and Fremont streets caused
some delay on the part of the fremen,
and calls attention TO the fact that
the hydrants should be inspected oft
ener, particular, at this ESQ of the
year, when fires occur more numerous
ly than in the summer, the hydrants
being liable to freeze most any night.
Someone should be delegated to make
the rounds of the hydrants n see
that they are in working order. With
one of the best volunteer fire depart
ments in the state, it should not be
hampered with poor equipment or de-
fective water service

WANTS
A SPECIAL RIGHT
ASKS SUBCOMMITTEE OF HOUSE
TO SET ASIDE MINERAL
LAND FOR HIM.
Bases His Claim Upon Fact That in
1899 He Was Granted Lease on
Large Amount Of Coal Land in
Shoshone Reservation - MondeII
Opposes Concession.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 16.-The
subcommittee of the house Indian
committee has given a hearing to A
w. Boyson Of Grey, Ia, who asks that
the Monde!i pill, providing for the
opening of the Shoshone Indian reser.
walton in Wyoming, be amended so as
to give him a preference right to $40
acres of mineral land when the rcser'
walton is opened, for which he offers to
pay $40 an acre.
Boyson bases his claim upon the
fact that in 1899 he was granted a
lease on $4,000 acres of coal lands on
the reservation, upon the survey of
which, he claims, he has expended
$25, 900 and has derived no benefits.
He cited the committee to the action
of congress in the opening of the Uinta
Indian reservation, when preference
right to take mineral land was given
to several mining companies.
Representative Mondell protested to
the committee against granting Boy
sons request, or against granting pre-
erence rights over the public when the
reservation is opened. He submitted
a letter from the secretary OF The in
terror showing that Boyson's lease on
coal lands was abrogated and can
celled June 9, 1902, because he had
failed to perform any work under |.
and had complied with nor of its
provisions. :
Agent H. E. Wadswerth Of the Sho-
shone agency testified that Boyson had
performed no work on the surveys
upon leases during his administration
or that Of his predecessor.
The subcommittee will take Boy
sons request under consideration. Mr..
Mondell will continue to oppose grant
ing the concession, he states, because
he considers Boyson has no valid claim
and because an amendment to the bill
may tend to delay its passage and de-
feat the desired opening Of the reser-
walton during the coming year.

and the till, which contained about $500
in silver, was rfled. The tannery Office,
on the opposite side of the creek, was
also visited. the entrance being gained
in about the same manner. The safe was
not locked, and the thieves broke open
some of the safety boxes, but found moth
ing apparently that they wanted, as none
of the private papers were taken. A
sledge hammer was taken from the black
smith shop of Nick Arnold. The thieves
left no clue by which they could be de-
tected. Two strange men we're seen short
ly after midnight by the watchman at

Their 25m Wedding Anniversary.

One of the pleasantest events of the
season took place on Saturday last, 23d
inst, at the com Portable home of Mr..
and Mrs. Will S. Clark, when upward of
seventy Ct their neighbers and friends
assembled at their residence, on Hunter
Run, to remind them that it was the oc-
casion of their 25th wedding anniversary.
The affair was intended as a surprise
and had been in contemplation for three
or four weeks. How well the friends sue
ceeded in making it such, and in keep
ing the secret" may be imagined when
it is stated that as, oyer sixty strong, they
marched iu upon the genial couple, they
found Mr.. Clark busiy engaged out on
his farm, while Mrs. Clark was wrestling
with the problems of the kitchen and
general household duties. 1t was more
than surprise, and if the recipients had
not been possessed of good stout hearts
and constitutions it would have amount
ed almost to shock, so unsuspectingly
were all the details arranged by the the
chief ones in the conspiracy" They
brought with them many we'll filled bask-
cts and took complete possession Of the
household affairs, relieving their host and
hostess of any responsibility for the re-
mainder of the day.
Among the pleasing features Of the oc-
casion was the presence of Mr.. Clark's
father and mother, three brothers and two
sisters, together with their families. In
fact the Clark family connection was all
present with the exception Of four of the
nieces and Dephews. And besides the
near neighbors and friends there were
also present Mrs. Hoag, Mrs. Hubbard
and Mrs. Metcalf and grandson, of Titus
vile, and Mr.. and Mrs. Bryner and
daughter of Pleasantville.
At one o'clock the company sat down
to a most bounteous feast 10 which all did
great justice, and after day most joyous
ly spent the guests took leave of the gen.
ial bride and groom of quarter century
ago, wishing them yet many very happy
returns of the day. Several very hand
some and useful presents were left as
mementoes of an occasion long to be
pleasantly remembered by all the partic-
ipants.
