CEMETERY HIS HOME.
Foreigner, Believed to Be Insane,
Arrested at American Fork
Was in Famished Condition.

Provo, Aug. 10-Sheriff Harmon went
to American Fork yesterday and arrested
a man who has been sleeping in the ceme-
terry there for some time, who, the people
believe. is insane. The man is a foreign
era BOsque-and talks no English and
very little French, so it is hard to get
anything out of him in regard TO his
past history, or how he came to be In
the condition he is. It is believed he
has been herding sheep for some one
in Wyoming and that he left there some
months ago and has since been drifting
around the County. He was very hungry,
which with his inability to make himself
understood and to obtain work is prop
ably responsible for his unusual actions
He is about rs years of age, small and
slight; the officers do not know his name,
either. because they have not asked him
or because of their inability to understand
him or he them. 1t is probable he will
have an examination to his sanity. but
even If he is found not to be insane and
is turned adrift he is not in a condition
to take care of himself. 1t is not known
that there are any Bosques in Utah, al
though there are q number in Nevada.
If he could get to his countrymen he
would probably get along all right.
Professor and Mrs. l.. e. Eggertsen and
family left today for Alberta. Canada

for about a month. while Professor Egg
gertsen will return in time for the county

Paul, the 1l-year-old son of Mr. and
Mrs. Vanus ScovilIe of Springville died
here last evening. The child was brought
here to undergo an operation for an in
ternal ailment at the Provo general hos
pital, but died before the operation was
performed.
The outing of the fraternal orders at

STANDARD OIL
AGAIN INDICTED
Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany and Vacuum Oil Com
pany Included in Bill.

jamestown, n Y, Aug. 10.-The fed
eral grand jury for the western dis
trict of New York today returned in
dictments against the Standard Oil
company of New York, the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad company and the
Vacuum Oil company of Rochester, for
violations of the interstate commerce
law. There are twenty-four counts in
each indictment of the Standard Oil
company and of the Pennsylvania
Railroad company, and similar num-
Der against the Vacuum Oil company.
The indictments are so specified that
in case those found against one COM
pany are sustained on trial, they nee
essarily must be sustained against the
other companies. The various counts
pertain to specific cases in which these
special rates were granted and accept
ed, and embrace a period from Jan. /,
1904, to Dec. % of the same year.
The indictment against the Vacuum
Oil company of Rochester is ON exactly
similar grounds-that is, charging that
special concessions were accepted from
the Pennsylvania Railroad company.
Bail was fixed at $4,000 for each
company. The cases will probably be
tried at Lockport in October.
The federal authorities declined to
give out the names of those indicted,
but it was reported that they include
both individuals and corporations.

son stated that the grand jury will re-
sumo its Investigations of the rebate
