VIII Engage In Chicken Raising.

M. L. Whitman has moved into
the property he recently purchased
from DR.. Poyntel on South Ninth
street, preparatory to engaging III
the chicken business quite extensive
". He has also leased seven acres
from Sidney Stevens, which joins
the property he purchased on the
east. He will enclose the entire
tract with "a chicken-tlght fence. He
is now busy building chicken houses
and otherwise getting the place in
readiness for business next year.
He will, however, hatch out one
brood of chicks this fall by an incu-
bator with capacity of 400 eggs.
He will purchase two more incu-
bators for next years use, and also
expects to keep from 1000 to 1900
hens for the production of eggs.
/ This is an industry in which Mr..
Whitman will no doubt build up
profitable business. The Wyoming
coal camps furnish good market
for eggs and chicken the year around.
Pocatello will also no doubt furnish
a. market for good share of his
product. During the winter months
we have known eggs to go as high
Jas 40 cents dozen there-cold
storage ones at that, and so stale
that they were not fit to use. Then
at this season Pocatelloltes who in
, dulge III fried chicken for Sunday
dinners, pay from As to 60 cents for
them.

from this earthly home to that home
beyond the pearly gates where sick
ness and sorrow comes not and life
is everlasting.
For two weeks Shirley suffered
with complication of ailments,
which developed into typhoid fever
Just week prior to her death.
Medical science and loving hands
did all within their power to restore
her to health but their efforts werd
of no avail.
Shirley would have been fourteen
wears old on the goth of next Del
cember. She was one of Gods
noble children; she had a smile and
kind word for everybody; her every
desire seemed to be to please other
people and when trouble came she
always took the blame upon herself.
For these and her other noble traits,
she was loved and admired by all
who knew her. That she should
have been taken from her parents
and sisters, who idolized her, just
at the age when she was budding in
to womanhood, and at the time
when each succeeding day seemed
to entwine her more dearly to the
hearts of all who knew her, is one
of Gods mysterious acts, and one
!. which man will never be able t,
solve.
Her funeral, which was hello
from the l.. D. S. meeting hops'
Thursday afternoon, was mor'
largely attended than any ever be
fore held in Montpelier. AT tn
conclusion of the impressive services
the mortal remains of little Shlrle,
Hoff were LAID to rest in the cit,
: cemetery.
The floral offerings were mos
beautiful, but they only feebly al
tested the love and esteem in whic
Shirley was held by both young an
old in Montpelier.

deepest sympathy Of the people {

years and then returned to Utah,
where he lived until 1864, when he
came to Bear Lake valley, where he
had lived ever since, with the ex-
ception of about seven years. Dur
ing the days of the Short Line con-
struction through this section, he
was foreman under the late Ed.
Burgoyne, who had contracts for
much Of the construction.
Mr.. DAVIS is survived by widow
and ten children-five sons and tive
daughters, all of whom were present
at the funeral except one daughter
who resides IN the Big Horn country

"Shirley Hoff is dead" When
this message came from the Hoff
home Wednesday morning. it cast a
gloom over the town and filled every
heart with sorrow. While il was
known that Shirley had been near
deaths door for many days, yet
every one seemed to feel that she
would conquer in the fight against
the Grim Reaper, and when, on

FOUR OF The
FINEST
Resign, and a New Police Force
Is Organized.

There was general shake.up in po-
lice circles this week, which resulted IN
the designations of Officers Kinnard,
Gresham, Dooley and Lamar. Charges
of incom potency. neg ect of duty and
unbecomng conduct we're preferred
against some of the force, and Mayor
Brownlow called the committee together
to investigate these charges. Pending
the investigation the four above namet
officers resigned, and Tom Friel, Will
Lancaster, Charlie Morgan and d. @.
W Iron we're appointed in their stead.
As usual, the street talk of what the
charges we're and what the committee
findings were, is exaggerated; however,
the committee was OF the opinion that
the officers had been neglectful of duty
and indiscreet In conduct, and their res
iguations were accepted. The report
that the officers had been fired as body
for immoral conduct, is not true.

SHORT NEARLY
SI,5OO,OOO.
FRANK G. BIGELOW, MIL
WAUKEE BANK PRESI-
DENT, SPECULATED.
LOST HIS PRIVATE FORTUNE TOO.
Two Thousand Depositors
Crowd About the Bank and
Draw Out Their Money.

MILW Wis, April 25 =
Franz G. Bigelow, until yesterday pres
ident at the FIRST National Bank of Mil
waukee, was arrested last night on a
charge OF embezzlement. and was held
t. the Federal grand jury in bond oil
S25 900. Bigelow j arrest followed his
con fession before a meeting of the di
rectors of the bank, when he admitted
he was a defaulter to the extent of
81, 450,00 the money having been lost
in speculation The directors of the
bank decided to make good the Short
age and steps we're taken to prepare for
the run on the bank. At tho closing
hour yesterday afternoon nearly 81, 800,
900 had been paid out to the deposit"rs,
and more than 1900 persons were
around the doors clamoring for their
money. Bigel0w says he was assisted in
manipulating the banks books by the
assistant cashier, Henry G. Coll. and a
warrant has been issued for Coils ar
rest.
Toe manipulation of accounts has
been going on for months, according to
the statement of one of the directors,
but so cleverly was the work done that
neither the directors nor the Nation al
Bank Directors were able to discover
the fact that anything was wrong with
the funds of the bank The first init
nation that there were irregularities
came to Charles F. Pfster, one of tho
directors, Friday evening. An employee
of the bank called at Mr.. Ptster's home
and told him that he had something to
reveal regarding the bank. While his
information was meager, it was suffi-
cient to awaken the suspicious OF Mr.
P6ster and to start an investigation.
President Bigelow was taxed with the
Irregularities, and he is said to have ad-
mitted his guilt. Then followed the
meeting of the directors and the full
confession.
Bigelow himself is left poor man by
his speculation and the surrender of the
securities to the bank todey. At one
time he was personally rated as mill
ionaire, and this fortune has been lost
as we'll as the sum taken from the bank
His total losses in speculation of various
kinds 10 two years are estimated by his
friends at upward OF $3.000000. He has
a magnificenthomeo on Astor street, and
his family is one of the most prominent
socially in the city.

effective work. They soon had four or
five streams playing on the flames, and
as the water pressure is good in that
locality they were able to prevent
what might have been a large and
disastrous contagration. The Vaughan
Manufacturing Co., who snow praise

Rowland Brown, the son of one of the
men killed at the Prohibition mass
meeting last night, was to-day placed

and that he 1.-THE SOM attempted to dis
suade him from attending. His father
was firm, however, in his intention and
went to the meeting. The son followed
and took part in the shooting.

Congressman Pickney was shot four
times and was almost instantly killed.

and Capt. Brown received bullet
through the heart. John Z. Mills, the re-
naming victim,took no part in the affair
and WAS accidentally killed by stray

LEADING UP TO TRAGEDY.
The killings are the direct result of a
prohibition movement in Waller Coun-
ty, which was begun some years ago,
and the feeling has been intense. An
election was held in Waller County
April 10, the Prohibitionists being sue
cessful. The Prohi bition League was
called together last night to wind up
its affairs and disband. A resolution
the Governor of Texas to
send troops to Waller County for the
purpose of enforcing the law against
liquor sellers was excitedly debated. II
was at this juncture that Capt. H. NJ.
Brown sought to have the Chairman
recognize him. and shortly afterwards
the firing began.
