TROUBLE WITH BOOK AGENT.
III. C. Bowman Says That He Was Mis-.
led by Honeyed Words.

There is an interesting case pending
in the city court that will come up for
trial some time next week. H. C. Bow
man is being sued in that tribunal for
$3.50 which the publishers of a Library
of Universal Literature claim is the
amount due them from Mr.. Bowman for
a set of their works.
MI. Bowman said: Along about
year ago smooth suave book agent
came into my office with a prospectus
of the above named work which he
wished to sell to me. The showing made
by that agent was certainly fine and
as l wanted just such a work for my
library ] gave him my order and paid
him $40 down on it and signed an agree
ment to pay IS per, month as. that was
their contract Therwork was to be in
20 volumes and to beaperfection itself. 1t
was to be an edition. de lqxe,- bound in
leather deckle edge, and all kinds of
promises were rInades as to- the quality
Of the paper. and nresaWorlS4 IF the edi-
tlons CID not SuH-r4e, upOn.. examination
, was to have the privilege of returning
1t. and getting my cnoney back That
looked good enough to me but that was
not all. The agent showed me the writ
ten endorsement of, DIR. Fisk of the First
CONGREGATIONAL church, in which he said
that he would not be without the liter
| airy index for twice what the books cost
That was the straw that won me
|
my life the victim of : book agent DR..
| FISK never wrote that endorsement and
l have since found that most of the
claims made by the agent were false.
| The books are very poor lot all the
way through and are not up to standard
in any particular; the presswork is
poor and the type from which the plates
! We're made must have. come from the
refuse of some .old,5printipg plant, the
binding is ever. poorer than the rest of
! the Workmanship and taken all in all
| there IS not a single. thing that is as
represented excepting the price. There
were great many sets of the works
sold in the town by the agent and as
far as l know there has been but one
set that has been paid for, and that set
has gone to the attorney who represents
the firm in the city. The work is shod-
| dy and unfit for any firstclass library,
and l do not intend to sit idly by and
| be made victim of a book agent who
represents and sells me one article and
! then substitutes something else Mr. H
| c. Root who represents the firm in the
| city told me that he had over 20 such
cases in town for the same company so
I guess that 1 am not alone in my trou-
BILE. 1t is a matter of principle with me
and 1. do not intend to be buncoed in
this way until l have at least tested the
matter in the courts, even though it
may cost me many times the cost of the
set of books

Battling Nelson Buys Property.

Chicago, Aug. 21-Contrary to the
general custom of pugilists, Battling
Nelson is saving his hard earned money
and investing it in property. A, deed
filed in the recorders office shows that
Nelson has purchased three lots. in
HegewiSch.
The formal transfer of the lots shows
that Nelson paid $500 for three lots
at the corner of Ontario avenue and
One Hundred and Thirty-fourt street,
This shows that, even though the fight
ing Dane is known all over the country,
he is content to remain in his humble
home town for the remainder of his life
and provide for his parents.

PARKER CALLS ON DAVIS,
Offers His Consolation Which Is De-
cIined With Thanks.

When Albert Parker. ex-mayor of To-
peka, heard that a delegation of two
dozen women had called on Mayor Dav-
is to discuss the joint situation. with
out allowing the mayor to do any dis
cussing, he headed at once for the Of
fee of the mayor of Topeka.
Ex-Mayor Parker offered consolation
to Mayor Davis and he was surprised to
find that Mayor Davis did not feel that
he needed consolation or that he was
one bit Hurried by the visitation. The
ex-mayor must have also been surprls-
ed To know that the women were invited
to call again whenever they felt inclin-
ed. Mayor Parker used to have dele
cations call on him so often that for a
time it was thought that an elevator
would be a necessity in the city oulla-

TWO MORE FAST
HORSES ARRIVE
Both Animals Come to City With
Good Records.
SPUR DOES FAST QUARTER
WORKS OUT AT STATE FAIR
TRACK IN 81 1-2 SECONDS.

Two more fast horses have been added
to the string of harness performers who
are due to entertain the public in salt
Lake the coming summer. Both are
good animals with records. Yesterday
Tom Mccoy shipped in PAGER from
Los Angeles named Cavalier with i
mark of 2:11h. He has been racing on
the coast for some time and Mccoy
thinks with a little training he will be
able to hold his own with any of the
Salt Lake horses.
Henry Newell yesterday received a
green PAGER from Los Angeles named
Willete. Although she has never re-
ceived a. mark, she has won all the mat
inee races in Los Angeles this winter
HOTsemen say Willete will be able to
make any of them go to beat her out.
Manager W. s. Jones said yesterday
that a date for the next matinee had
not been set. He does not propose 70
put on another event of this kind until
assured that all the events will be filled
with good horses It is just possible
that such a meeting can be arranged
by next Saturday.
Laura Spur was sent for fast quar-
ter yesterday at the fair grounds and
covered the distance in 3I1z seconds
This is thought by many hOrsemen to
be the fastest time ever made for
quarter of a mile in the state. A num-
Der of the other horses quartered at
the track were worked out, but this was
the only really fast time.
c. A. Whalgren of Denver writes that
he has just received word that a num-
Der of fast runners are coming TO Den
Yer to follow the western circuit. This
means that the same bunch will appear
on the Salt Lake track next month.
