MAJOR MYT0N ONCE C0MRADE
OF MASTERSoN
HAS MADE HISTORY IN WEST
Modest Hero Of Frontier Days Able
to Recount Stirring Adven-
tures-old-TIme Friend Of
Sheriff White

Six feet in height, brown as the desert
sun can make him after years Of effort,
a shambling walk like that of a grizzly
a face beamlng with the good nature Of
a country lad. and a voice gentle as a
womans--this is Maj. II. p. Myton, who
stepped from the Pullman car Of the
Salt Lake train yesterday and made a
bee line in search of Sheriff w. A.
White.
Maj. Myton knows much OF the his
tory Of the west. He helped to mako
It. He knows most of the characters,
good and bad. who have linked their
names with the development of the
country west of the Missouri river.
He has fought either with or against
them.
Deputy sheriff under Bat Masterson In
late seventies succeeding him as sher-
if of Dodge City in 80, registrar of
a United States land office, Indian
fighter and agent, prospector and
miner, presidential elector, and all in
all, a man pretty much mixed up in
QOHllCSp lS Maj. myIOIl.
He has been looking over prospects
in the Nippeno district for the past ten
days and could not resist the tempta-
tion to follow the trail into Los An
geles for a meeting with Sheriff White,
and swapping of incidents of the
time when White was proprietor of a
livery stable dealing in bronchos ct
Garden City, Kan, in the eighties,
when Myton was parceling out govern
ment land to the hungry immigrants.
He is willing enough to relate Incl
dents of the time when Bat Masterson
made air shafts through the bodies
of two cowboys who murdered seven
companions, held off hundreds of In
-dians for three days and nights, with
out food or drink and no protection but
the unroofed walls of an abode hut, but
when 1t comes to telling what Myton
did. he asks his questioner to have a
cigar and then HES himself away.
For six years he was Indian agent on
the Uintah reservation, and knows
more Of the resources of the two mil
lion acres over which his wards roamed.
than does any other white man.
The reservation, the only one in
Utah, is to be opened for settlement
September 1. Eight hundred Indians
will receive their allotment of from
forty to eighty acres apiece and the
remainder, consisting of agricultural,
mineral and grazing lands, will be
given over to settlement by immigrants.
The reservation is 175 miles from
Salt Lake City, which is now Mai
Mytons home.
He went there a year ago. The Salt
Lakers found that he had been pretty
much mixed in politics." so they sent
him to Washington last fall as a presi-
dental elector. with vote for Theo-
dore Roosevelt tucked safely away in
his pocket.
No mention is made of his stepping
down and out of politics, but at the
present time the Nippeno gold district
is attracting his attention.

test OF obeying orders to fire on the
people in the streets.
Late this evening a rumor was cur
rent here that the port of Cronstadt
had been closed to foreign shipping
and that all commercial vessels there
had been ordered to ST. Petersburg
No confirmation of the report was OBJ
tainable.
The strike of the Nevsky ship yards
which began yesterday became general
this morning. Between 5000 and 5000
strikers held a meeting in the court
yard of the workshop. Subsequently
the men attempted to form a process
sion. Cossacks then dispersed them
with whips. There is marked excite
ment among labor circles.
Military in Poland PowerIess
Joseph Mandelkern, real estate
dealer in New York, who has just ar
rived in St. Petersburg from Poland,
where he visited Warsaw, Lodz, Byel-
ostok and others centers, declares that
state of anarchy exists there, which
the military and the police are admit :
tedly powerless to handle. He brings
startling information about the Bund
and other revolutionary organizations.
Like similar organizations in the eau
casus they have now forbidden the
payment of taxes under the penalty of
death, and are levying tribute for the
purpose of resistance to the govern
ment. He says that the members of the
organizations are armed with revolvers
and knives and that they defy the po-
lice to interfere with them under
threats of death. Mr.. Mandelkern ad!s
that on Thursday he saw procession
of 10000 persons at Warsaw carrying
red flags with not a policeman in sight,
the police having been warned that if
they appeared they would be murdere l.
In Byelostok, Mr.. Mandelkern says, the
revolutionists are actually wearing a
sort of uniform, blue blouse.
The organizations. Mr.. Mandelkarn
says, are not seeking for separation but
want constitution which would give
to Poland an autonomous government

Jews Fleeing by Thousands

by Associate TED tfeSS.
ST. PETERSBURG, July A. 2;25 a. m.
General Karakozeff has been appoint
ed to restore order at Odessa. and his
first act was to offer to employ 10000
idlers in clearing the ruined port. He
also took precautions to prevent Jew
ish massacre.
Jews are fleeing from the city in
thousands. Jewish agitators, according
to some consular reports received at
the embassies here, were prominent in
melting strike riots, throwing the first
bomb on Tuesday and firing on the
police and soldiers Wednesday. When
the Kniaz Potemkine arrived they
famed the flames and. according tc
these reports, the population of Odessa
is disposed to lay much of the blame
for the bloodshed resulting from the
demonstrations at their doors.

PRETTY PASADENA GIRL
MARRIED ON BIRTHDAY
Bride Not Alarmed Because Thirteen
Persons Attended Her We'd
ding in Court House

The fact that her wedding party con-
sisted of thirteen people and that she
had selected the day of her attain
ment to the age of IS years for her
wedding day did not disturb Miss
Catherine T. Pope, one Of the prettiest
young women of Pasadena, who yes
terday abandoned the life of the school
girl for the duties of wedlock.
The groom is Sterling w. Price, :3
years of age and prosperous resident
of Moneta. The young couple applied
for the license yesterday shortly before
noon. When Deputy Watson asked
the young woman her age she re-
sponded '1s years. Amy older?" asked
thesdeputy, and the girl replied "Oh,
yes, several hours. 1 was eighteen
years old this morning"
When the license had been issued,
the couple walked to the corridor of
the court house where a portion of the
population of Moneta was in waiting.
The bridal march resembled a Fourth
of July procession, and clerks and stem.
ographers left their work to gaze
after it.
At the Justices office, in spite of the
fact that a baby, which had been
brought by some thoughtful mother
insisted upon singing a parody upon
the Lohengrn wedding march, with q
series of side howls for accompaniment,
the wedding ceremony was said and the
party trooped forth and down Spring
street for wedding breakfast

Whatever the cause, the kidneys
cease to eliminate the urea poisons

STOCK OF ELECTRIC
COMPANY TO BE SOLD.
Public Meeting Held Tonight When
BooksfOr SubsCriptionW Opened

A public meeting of the Citizens
Electric Light, Heat and Power Com
pany will be held on the third floor
of the Odd Fellows building tonight
to give the local people an opportun-
ity to subscribe to the stock of the
new concern. 1t is the desire of the
directors of the company to dispose
of all the shares among as many
people as possible. This is both to
increase the interest in the venture
and also to make it all the more diff
ficult for any one person to secure
absolute control.
A large attendance is looked for
and no trouble in disposing of the
shares is anticipated. The par val
ne of each share is $25 and not more
than forty shares will be sold to any
one person. The company now has
a valuable franchise and there seems
to be no reason why capital should
hesitate to invest. The promoters
are enthusiastic and look for big
things.

WHO WILL SIGN
THE EWARRANTS?
City Hall Officials Unable 10
Decide the Powers of the
Acting Mayor.

A question arose today as to
whether or not Aledrman-at-Large
Pfeiifer, who is acting mayor while
Mayor Brace is on his vacation is au-
thoNzed to sign warrants for paying
out city money. Warrants have to be
signed by the mayor, city treas
urer, comptroller and city clerk.
The belief that the acting mayor has
the powers of the mayor obtains more
strongly than the opposite view, and
thus it is generally believed that the
payment of money on warrants sign
ed by the acting mayor would be
legal. Other officials, while not re-
futing this opinion entirely, express
themselves as being doubtful about
it,
An effort was made to get the city
attorneys opinion in the matter, but
he is out of town his afternoon

1t is not expected that the Pub
lie Service Corporation will give up
the fight so easily. Just what move
the monopoly will make is not
known. The fact that a local company
is in competition with them will GER
tainly affect their interests all over
the state. The merchants in other
cities will be set thinking and ~a1ay
make some more like the local mel-
chants.
OF course, the old trick of reduc-
ing the price away below the cost of
production can be resorted to. That
is the Standard Oil method, but if
the Public Service should attempt
such a thing, it is argued that it
would have to make up its loss some
where else and the merchants there
would be up in arms.
Tonights meeting of the Citizens
company promises to be the best ever
held. 1t is expected to get work on
the actual construction of the plant
very soon.
