Mr. Keele, a war veteran in the
customs service, tells this: In 1854
ONE one stole horse blankets from
the troops stationed at Fort Wads-
worth and sold them to an Irishman
who lived in the vicinity. When they
were traced and he was arrested, TIE
Judge asked, "Why did you steal these
blankets?" "Oi daidnt stal 'em, yer
Honor; they belongs to me-" was the
reply. But" continued the Judge,
they are branded u. 81 which

The sad death of Clarence J. Lucas,
who was killed Wednesday night by
Saltair train is nothing but warning to
others to not attempt to ride on
train unless seat can be provided.
The young man was on the running
board and while going round a curve
was thrown to the ground and fell be-
meath the wheels. or course there are
times when trains are crowded, but if
every person holding a ticket would
insist upon being provided with seat,
instead of hanging on, as many do,
the danger of such occurrences would
be reduced to minimum. ~
