TYPHOID FEVER
FROM BAD WATER.

Representative Tolton of Beaver, one
Of the three Democratic members OF
the lower house, was IN during the
campalngn, and attributes this, more
than anything else to his election lie
had $50 Republican majority to over
come, but won by over 40 votes, Mr..
Tolton was n member OF the last terri
toria legislature and therefore knows
something about the business Be
sides, he Is a member OF the bar, al
though, like many others he doesn't
practise. Concerning Beaver county's
needs, the gentleman says the most
important requirement Ia some sort
OF sanitary measure, which will pro-
tect the streams of that section from
pollution. Beaver city gets It's water
supply from the Beaver river, which,
In the past has been much affected by
cattle aud sheep. During the last
few months typhoid has been epidemic
IN that section, and It's origin has been
traced to impure water. Mr. Tolton
himself has been seriously III with Il,
while several members Of his family
were afflicted when he left home. No
wonder, then, that he will make an ef-
fort To remedy the condition COM
planned Of. He reports the county IN
good shape, and says that the past
season was an exceptionally good one
for crops, particularly potatoes, OF
which the county has an abundance.
These are selling at 20 cents a bushe,
whereas they are bringing upwards
Of 10 cents In Salt Lake. The out
look for the mining industry Is also
promising. Samuel Newhouse and
associates having done much In this
direction.

Representative Thomas j. Jones Of
Cedar city is serving his first term.
Being somewhat OF a novice in the
matter of making laws, he is going
slow for the present, but hopes be-
fore long to get his bearings and "sail
in" The gentleman says he has no
special legislation up his sleeve. save 1t
be a bill establishing the town bounda-
ry of Cedar, which, he says, now starts
at "the mouth Of the canyon" The
state normal school. located at Cedar,
wants an appropriation Of $50, 1000, which
will no doubt be granted. The school
is doing much for southern Utah as 1t
draws pupils from five counties and
prepares them for the fourth year
course at the institution proper In this
city Just now il has about 200 pupils
and Is doing most effective work. Mr..
Jones says conditions In his county
are very promising and he hopes be-
fore long TO see big boom there, due
to the opening Of the iron mines, Of

BEAT THE STATE
BY HIS CUNNING.
Charles Jones Has Been Rcaping
A Harvest From the State
Bounty Fund.
ARRESTED SATURDAY IN OGDEN


A large part of the $4,000 deficit In
the bounty FUND Of this state is believed
TO be due to the operations Of Charles
Jones who was arrested at ogden on
Saturday night and brought back to
this city yesterday by Sheriff c. Frank
Emery and Deputy Sheriff j. G.. sharp,
and lodged in the county joil upon the
charge Of obtaining money by false pre-
lenses from the state bounty fund.
Jones has been obtaining duplicate
bounty ON all OF the hides OF wild ami
mails killed by him ana It is believed
that he has defrauled the state out OF
several thousand dollars by his scheme.
HOW HE DID IT.
He would KIN the animals and pre-
sent the hides 20 the county clerk Of
one county and receive bounty GER
tl6cate for them The clerk would
punch the ears OF tho animals, after
which Jones would take the pelts home
and proceed to plug up the holes in the
ears. He would then present them to
The clerk OF another county and would
again receive bounty ON them I'm this
manner the same set OF hides would
be made TO do service I'm two or more
counties Jones is known TO have op-
Grated extensively IN this county, and
Weber county and It Is believed that
other counties Of the state have been
the victims Of his frauds
ARRESTED BY sEBRING
The arrest was made By Deputy sher-
III Sebrlng OF Ogden Just as Jones and
a woman whom he claims is his wife
and a 5-year-od girl, were preparing
to leave for California, The prisoner
asked TO be taken to a hotel where he
could provide for the woman ana child.
He was taken 10 the Windsor hotel I'm
Ogden and went to room, where he
attempted to dispose Of belt contain

picked up by the woman. The deputy
then had hard time TO get the money
away from her, The belt contained
nearly $500 I'm money
Sheriff Emery and Deputy Sharp
went TO ogden yesterday and brought
Jones to this city. 1t is very likely
that n charge Of perjury viii also be
