AGAINST BULL FIGHT.
Mayor Morris Vetoes Measure Provid.
ing for Spanish Sport in Salt Lake.

Mayor Morris today vetoed the license
granted by the city council to allow an
exhibition of bullhghting by Senior En-
rIque Robes on March Il at the Salt
Palace.
In doing so the mayor said that he
did not object to that part Of the petit
tlon Of the management referring TO
"broncho riding or rope throwing"
nor had the executive any scruples
against Held's band discussing music.
But OF the "bullhght" portion OF the
petition, he said; 81 cannot approve II.
M II Ia IN direct conflict with section
ASA of the Revised States Of Utah,
1898, which reads as follows:
ANY person who shall keep or use
any bull, bear dog, cock or other ami
NAL fowl or bird, for the purpose OF
nghtIng or batting, and any person who
shall be a party 10 or be present ms
spectator at any such fighting or bait
ing. or any bear bull, dog cock, or
other animal. fowl or bird and any
person who shah rent any building,
shed room, yard, ground, or premises
for the purpose Of lighting or batting
any animal, fowl or bird, as aforesaid
or shall knowingly suffer or permit the
use OF any building, she'd room, yard,
ground or premises belonging to him or
under his control, for either or any OF
the purposes aforesaid, shall, on cOnvlc.
ton thereof, be adJudged guilty OF

and that he was generally irresponsl-
bic.
While the old gentleman lives In
Davis county, for the convenience OF all
parties the case was brought up In
ogden IN the probate division yester-
day afternoon before Judge Rolapp and
continued until this morning
When the case was brought up be-
fore Judge Rolapp this morning Mr..
Jones was placed on the stand 10 testl-
~ In his own behalf. He stated that
be- was the owner OF $50 acres OF farm
ng land worth from $4,000 to $4,000,
and that he also had livestock. farm
ms implements and some money. While
the witness Is 10 years OF age his story
was Ineligible and straightforward
and indicated that he was In a fairly
good state OF mind He further testi-
fed that he had planted ITO acres OF
wheat land and gave other testimony
which seemed to refute the charge that
he Is incompetent and unable to look
after his affairs The old gentleman
was on the stand when court adjourned
for the noon recess
Mr.. Jones Is I'm his seventy-hfth year
and has lived In Blaine for the past
half century and has been a hardwork-
ing frugal man.
He was early associated with the
"Mormons"and later took part with the
"Morrisites," but was never contented
with the regime OF that organization
and quietly left them alone.

WANTS MONEY HIMSELF.
Percy Prothero Not Willing to Let 1t
Go to Families of Dead Men.

Percy Prothero has evidently relent-
ed Of his strong determination to give
to the Gleason and Brighton families
the 81, 200 reward for the betrayal Of
Shockley, the confessed murderer His
attorneys this morning sent notices to
the officials holding the various rewards
that they would be held for their por-
tions Of the total.
Mayor Morris received the first notl-
fcation, perhaps, II was formal, stat
ing only that Porthero would hold him,
as chief executive, for the 5000 reward
offered for the arrest OF the streetcar
murderer II was stated that the agree
ment IN existence signed by Porthero
and the police, was signed by Prothero
under duress. The mayor referred the
letter TO the city attorney,
Manager Campbell OF the Utah Light
& Railway company received similar
notice this forenoon and referred II TO
the cOmpany's attorney.
The reason for Prothero's sudden
change Of heart Is said to be illness and
practically restitution In his fathers
family.
The governor and the county commits
sloncrs received similar notices and
both Of them were referred for legal
advice.
