The Last Slave Ship.

Many things can be forgotten in for
ty-seven years, and probably few Amer
leans remember the story Of the slave
ship Clotllde that was run into Mobile
Bay and burned one dark night IN 1859,
and how its cargo of slaves was dumped
of into the canebrakes and left, some
to be picked up and sold, some TO wan
der about and starve, and some to die
Of homeslckpesS.
hstandipg that il all happened
close to Mobile, scarcely any one in this
year recalls anything Of the facts Only
in an old scrap~book Of q friend could
/ find a single printed word about them
and when this friends daughter had
once been to this strange settlement,
habits of life in charming little dia-
lect sketch, the dramatic situation
seized upon me. A burning desire pos
sessed ME TO see these remarkable peo.
pie face to face 4 chase followed
among the old negroes of Mobile, for
somebody had said I would fnd among
them certain man who knew of the
Africans. He also knew the road
through the big dark swamp behind the
city to their settlement. The fates were
kind, and at last I found a white man
who, III the old confederacy days, had
often been to the settlement, knew the
Africans well, and in fact. at certain
time mad had them under his contro! as
a Confederate officer.
A drive of half a dozen miles over an
elevated plank road and through vii.
derness OF trees and water brought US
out to tue clay hills by the Alabama
river.
There was cluster of sawlnills close
by III the 'piney woods and beyond
these many negro cabins in rows. But
their occupants were the common ne
groes, working in the mills, and OF re-
cent arrival. lt was little they knew of
the real Africans as distinguished
from themselves. After much inquiry.
and much running about the piney5,
and the pathetic looking Confederate
breastworks that still stretch sulleuly
for mile and more through the woods,
we came to a few African houses They
were only dilapidated cabins, but sur
rounded with ruch.gardens and rose
bushes Hardly a dozen of the old
Ciotilde S victims are alive, though
numbers of their children live near the
settlement and have lntermarried with
the common negro,
Few Of the captured ones had been
more than twenty al the time Of their
enslavement, and all remembered the
horrible details as if they had been
experiences OF a recent time. They
were more stalwart In appearance and
OF finer physique than the American
negro whose ancestors had been long in
bondage, Their eyes were brighter too,
their voices even softer and more melo.

said that about 3 'clock in the morn
ing she was awakened out of sound
sleep by hand at her throat. The
burglar, she said, was trying to un-
fasten gold chain from around her
neck. She sat bolt upright in bed and
screamed, at the same time graphing
with the man. The burglar started to
make his escape, but the brave woman
dragged out of her apartment and
down the stairs TO the outside door.
Here Patrolnlan Polslli, who had heard
the woman s screams, IS well as the
outcries of the neighbors, who were
awakened by the row, took a hand IN

MORE SLUSH COMING
Another Desperate Attempt TO Cast Dis
credit Upon the Police Department.

c. Frank Emery and p. P. Christensen are
preparing 10 serve up 10 the public smother
mess OF slush in their desperate attempt TO
cast discredit upon the police department.
Sheets and his men are little better than a
band OF freebooters, leagued with criminals
and keepers OF "fences'' for the undoine OF
the unsuspecting citizen. The case Of a
woman commercial traveller will be made 10
serve them as vehicle for this latest feast
of filth
On August Mrs. Kate RatcliT repre-
sentative OF Vhe Redwiug Advertising COM
psny OF Redwing, Minn., stored trunk st
Der i5 she called Tor it and found that it
had been taken away. The trunk was traced
10 Salt Lake and while the police were try
ing 10 locate il, young man calico a. head
quarters. and informed the officers that his
money had purchased everything chat the
missing trunk had contained and that he
had removed IL from the Denver hotel. This
mans name was White, or Wight, or some
thing very similar. He made bur one visit
10 headquarters.
Through the efforts OF Sergeant Jsnney and
ether members OF the foIce some OF the con.
tents OF the trunk were located at a Second
South street clothing store ond restored to
to serve the lady and sho certainly can have
no fault 70 ind with the treatment she re
ceived al the hands OF the police While the
ohccrS were busiest in their efforts TO locate
the rest or her missing property, the Sheriff
cut in and, il appears, took the case in
his own hands. As he has been unable TO
end the lost wraps and dresses for the lady,
he will probably try and make the public
believe that the police stole them. There is
n widespread and constantly growing opinion
that, il Emery and christensen would serve
the county hall as energetically as they do
the bidding OF the church there might be
hierurchical criminals who arc running at
large in this town.

HAD NO LIQUOR LICENSE
Residents Of Mill Creek Anxious to
Have Saloon Men Prosecuted.

About SIX weeks ago John Holm and
Fred Christensen, who run saloon on
the Big Cottonwood road south of Mill
creek were arrested on a charge of
sailing liquor without a license. They
were taken before Justice Ritter and
were released under $500 bonds, pend.
ing their trial.
Nothing has been heard Of the case
since the men were released under bonds
and Monday, County Attorney Christen-
sen was asked what had become or the
case. He replied that he did not know
why the case had not been tried before
now as there had been plenty of time,
but stated further that the case was
in the hands Of Assistant County At
torney Job T., Lyon. When Mr.. Lyon
was questioned in regard to the matter
he stated that he intended trying the
case just ss soon as he could get tho
Justice to set the date.
The Board of County Commissioners
refused to grant them a license TO
sell liquor, as majority of the tax
payers IN that vicinity entered pro.
test against it. They are accused of
selling liquor without license, however,
and the residents of that section have
been inquiring IS TO why no trial has
been had They want TO know.

DEATH OF LOUIS LESSING
Well-Known Citizen of Southern Utah
Passes Away of Heart Disease

At midnight, September 20, 1906,
Louis Lessing of Minersville, Beaver
county, ceased to live. His sudden and
unexpected demise was caused by heart
failure. Mr.. Lessing was, perhaps, the
most widely.hnown private citizen of
southern Utah. For thirty years he had
lived in Minersville. u staunch citizen
and an intense American. Mr.. Lessing
was Of German birth. When the Civil
war broke out he was resident of
Little Rock, Ark, and, like every other
patriotic but mistaken citizen Of the
South, he shouldered his muskct and
fought valiantly for the cause which
at that time he believed to be right.
When the end came which resulted in
the Union IS triumph, no more patriotic,
loyal man to the country over which
tho Stars and Stripes waved, ever lived
than Louis Lessing. Deceased was 50
years Of age, His remains were brought
to Salt Lake by his family on Monday
Funeral services will be held from the
funeral parlors Of S. D. Evans today

SAN BERNARDINO, Cal, Oct. l.
The people of San Bernsrdino, through
the board of trade, have appealed to
President Roosevelt to save the big for

It is urged that the Government
should exercise the right of eminent
domain aud acquire all private and

being denuded of timber. Nothing
short of Government ownership, says
the language of the petition, will serve
to stop the timber cutting. II is pointed
