Submitted to Arrest.

The capture of the men was an easy
matter, once they had been located by
Conductor Kinnear and seen by the
officers. They made nc resistance and
submitted to arrest and Imprisonment
without a question. Both claimed that
they were drunk last night and knew
nothing of the assault upon Scion, ex-
cept that they had been in a bit of a
fight with him and had given him a
good trouncing. They did not know
that he had been seriously injured. 1t
was reported here that the man had
died from the effects of the beating he
received.

Found Very Little Money.

Very little money was found on the
two men, and as they evidently did not
linger at Medicine Bow after having
so m~urderously assaulted their victim,
1t is believed they secured no money
to speak of. The two gold rings, one
of them set with a precious stone, are
believed to have belonged to Scion.

Good Work Turns Trick.

The capture of these two men adds
another to the long list of clever cap
lures by the officers of the two coun-
ties, assisted by the railroad men, who
sometimes become expert detectives
and greatly assist the process of the
law. Fortney and Wilson had no pos
sibility of escape onc they had been
found by Conductor Kinnear and his
crew and spotted by the officers.

Assault for Robbery.

According to the information receiv-
ed by the officers, the men were drink
ing at Medicine Bow, one of them hay
ing a bottle partly filled with liquor in
his pocket when apprehended this
morning. They became involved in a
quarrel with Scion, evidently with the
intention of robbing him, and beat him
up pretty badly. They secured from
him three railroad pay checks, for
May, the second for June and the
third for July. The May check amount
ed to 1872, the June check $S5 and the
July check $3.50, a total of s263.50.
AS soon as the officers came upon the
men here they cast the checks away,
but the motion was seen and the checks
were recovered and placed in the
hands of Sheriff Reals. There were a
couple of gold rings, two razors, Fort
ney's certificate of honorable discharge
from the army and other papers.

Is Akin to Dickens,

wv" ~
1t is of this contact between the
European and the Hindoo that Kipling
writes in the stories and POEMS which
first came from his pen, and which
made his name known at once through
out the world. Kipling's descriptions
of Anglo-Indian life, which before had
no voice, proved him to be akin to
Dickens in power of portraiture and
description. To show the versatility
of the author, Mr.. Ingham read several
selections from his works.
Ownership of Railroads.
Following the discussion upon the
subject of Kipling, Mr.. Berner took up
the discussion upon government con-
troll of railroads, and spoke of the views
expressed by Judge Grosscup of New
York upon the matter. In speaking of
the government operation of railroads
in other countries, Mr.. Berner said that
in Germany, were it not for the
nue. which the government derives
from its operation of the railroads, the
people would find the taxes imposed,
because of the great army maintained
there, impossible to be endured, and in
the case of Australia, where the deficit
in the government-controled railroads
is often quoted as against such opera
ton, the government has been handi-
capped because of the free ~transporta-
ton it has afforded to the vast herds
of stock which would have persisted as
a consequence of drought if they were
not moved.
Ownership and Operation.
N. e. Corthell, when called upon for
a speech upon the subject, said that
his own views, while not radically diff
%ferent, had become changed during the
past few years, because of the great
amount of light which has been thrown
upon transportation matters. He said
that it should be borne in mind that
there is a radical difference between
government control and government
operation of railroads. Many people
are in favor of the first but oppose the
second. A corporation was originally
a public institution and should be SC
today. 1t has become the custom, how
ever, to regard even a railroad corpor
alton in much the same light as a pri
vate Individual, something in which
: the public has no interest or right Of
control.
Railroads Are Apart.
This view is especially a mistake II

0 the powers of the government in the

Conductor Locates Fusitives,

The officers were notified of the as
sault upon Scion and the fight of the
assailants by j. H. Cochran Of Medi-
cine Bow. From Conductor Todd Kin
near it is learned that he located the
two men on his train arriving here
early this morning. At Bosler he sent
word of the presence of Fortney and
Wilson in an empty car, giving the
number of the a +. When the train
arrived Officer France, Sheriff Reals
and Policeman Johnson were on the
Lookout. France saw the men leave
the a in the northern part of the
city and hide in a ditch near the side
of the road. He and the two other of
ficers went to the scene, France bring
ing his pistol down on the men and
compelling their surrender. They were
taken to the county jail and recorded
by Sheriff Reals, where the sheriff OF
Carbon county found them upon his
arrival.

PESTHOUSE A WHITE ELEPHANT;
THE CITY HAS NO USE FOR 1T

sistants; large steam heating plant
that requires the services of an en-
gneer and fireman; a laundry build
ing that will require the attention of
at least one person and where sew
era might be employed; a dining
room capable of seating $50 persons
at a conservative estimate, where
walters must be employed, with a
cook, dishwasher and other necessary
adjuncts of a kitchen. 1t is estimated
that when under full swing not less
than six persons can handle the iri-
stitution. These duties are now all
being performed by Pesthouse Keeper
McAvOY.
Members of the board of health have
suggested that the institution might
be used for a city receiving hospital
and a pesthouse built somewhere else
This suggestion is secuted by other
members. who declare that if it was
used for a receiving hospital a seri-
ously injured patient would die be-
fore he could be taken to the place.
What will eventually become of the
hospital no one in authority seems to
know and no city department cares to
assume the responsibility of taking it
up. Every one seems to be side
stepping this issue.

THROWS SOP TO
RETAIL GROCERS
COUNCIL MILDLY RESTRICTS
PEDDLERS
Wagon Men Must Not Hunt in Pairs
Without Two Licenses and
Must Give Stores Plenty
of Room

As a little sop to the retail Gracers
the legislative committee Of the city
council, at Il special meeting held yes
terday morning ordered the peddlers'
ordinance amended to include pro-
vision that no fruit or vegetable wagons
might stand ON the public streets with
in 100 feet of Il place of business where
these articles are sold. 1t further pro-
vides that only one man might sell
from each cart unless IA license was
taken out for each dealer.
The retail grocers were hardly con-
tent with this halfway measure but
were forced to accept it as the legisla-
tive committee refused to make it any
stronger. The retailers have been try
ing for several months to have the
council adopt an ordinance entirely
abolishing the peddling trade in a GER
tain prescribed district and placing a
prohibitiVe license on it for other dis
tricts where 1t would he allowable.
The intent of the grocers, which they
frankly admitted, was to abolish the
peddling trade as nearly as possible
that they might reap the benefit.
Had the ordinance which the grocers
demanded been passed the Chinese
vegetable pedders who cater to the
residence districts, would have been
forced entirely out Of business and the
housewife been compelled to buy her
supplies at the green grocers
The produce exchange presented a
counter petition, asking that the de-
mands of the retail grocers be ignored
as the peddling trade was the only ave
nue. through which they could dispose
of a large quantity of their perishahle
goods and prevent them from spelling
on their hands This is probably the
only case where the wholesalers and re.
tailers have been at loggerheads over
| city legislation.

PLUCK DOLLARS
Of UNEMPLOYED
EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES WORK
FAKE GAME
Some connve With Spurious Employ.
ers to Hire Applicants Long
Enough to Exact Fees,
Then Discharge Men

Bent with the weight Of years and
with palsied hand shaking SO that he
could hardly hold the dirty business
card that he presented to License Clerk
Bert Farmer an old man entered the
tax collectors office yesterday and pa
thetically pleaded for justice. He had
been made victim of three employ
ment agencies" and wanted TO know
If the license of the ono whose business
card he presented. could not be revoked
so that others of the unemployed would
not be NiCtinized
His complaint is one that the license
clerk has frequently heard and the
question will probably be submitted TO
the council for some action.
There are 63 employment agencies in
Los Angeles, all doing business under a
license from the city, but it is claimed
that large majority Of the 63 exist for
the sole purpose of separating a Few
dollars from the scant hoardings of the
unemployed. Only by Connivance with
INSCRIPTIONS employers is this possible.
The plan of these agencies is to con-
niye with some one who is in a position
to employ men and then send their
clients to the employer where they are
offered good positions at high salaries.
The higher they pay the more the em-
ployInent agent may demand for his fee.
The usual fee demanded is a sum equal
to the first weeks pay, and this must
invaribly be paid as soon as the posi-
tion is secured. The client may not
wait until he has received his first
weeks pay envelope before giving 1t
to the agent. If he has not the money
to pay the fee in advance he receives
no employment. After the big fee has
been turned over to the agent the man
is probably given one days labor and
then discharged. The agent and the
employer divide the fee and the client
Is told he brought about his own dis
charge and has no rebate coming to
him.
Such was the story the aged man told
to the license clerk yesterday.
I'm old and have Il wife and we must
eat, somehow" said the white-haired
veteran. I'VE have no chick or child
to provide for us.
"All l ask is a chance to do an honest
days labor for an honest days pay
but they won't even give me that little
chance and take away the few dollars
] have. 1t is hard for me to get work
] can do, but three of these places have
promised me n good job at big pay. 1t
was always the same. days work
and a big fee paid to the employment
agent always more than I received for
the days work. My little store of
money is nearly all gone now and |
don't know what l will do pretty soon
It's hard to be old and face starvation
with these vultures ready to pick the
very eyes out of me-"
The license clerk has frequently heard
this story and will ask the council to
make an investigation of the methods
of some of these agencies.
