POLICE COURT CLERK
PURSUED BY MISFORTUNE
Bad Luck Has Marked Him
for Its Own, 1t Would
Appear.

Police Court Clerk W, A. Wight is
pursued by misfortune. Bad luck has
marked him for its very own. Last
May, it will be remembered, he gave
away all his personal belongings to the
San Francisco earthquake sufferers and
was caught in the act of carrying away
the wardrobes Of his near and dear
relatives, with which he intended to
clothe the refugees who tarried at Salt
Lake in their hurried exodus from tho
stricken city. The humiliation Of the
| exposure made Wight changed man,
for up to that time he had, as for as
| the general public knew, led an upright
| life.
Furnishes Lid for Mendicant.
A week ago hatless mendicant, hav
ing heard what 'good thing Wight
is. laid for him Mt the corner when court
laid for him at the corner when court
adjourned and begged him to provide
"lid' for his uncovered dome. Wight
left tho fellow on the street and for
half an hour prowled about police
headquarters in quest of an odd hat.
Finally he located in the prosecuting
attorneys Office a battered piece of
long cherished as an heirloom, This
he bestowed upon the hatless wayfarer
and went his way. All next day, and
tho next DAILY roared about that hat.
He felt certain it had been stolen, and
he turned loose the 1oodgates of de-
nunciation on the head of the man,
whoever he had been, who had entered
his office and carried away his precious
property Wight heard all this and his
conscience smote him sore. He said
nothing about it, however, until Tues
day, when, unable to stand 1t any lon
ger, he threw himself on the lawyer's g
neck and sobbed his confession into his
indignant ear. There's been cold
ness between the clerk and prosecutor
ever since.
But these misfortunes are minor and
insignificant as compared to the stag
gering thunderbolt of bad luck that
descended on the unprotected head of
the philanthropist when, on Friday
night his brother Maccabees surrounded
him in their lodge room and proceeded
to honor him as the oldest and most
popular member Of that organization.
Made Him Present.
The lodge Record Keeper, holding In
his hand an envelope which might have
contained something of value-but
didn 't-made the address Of presenta-
tion. He called attention to the many
generous impulses and noble character
istics Of the brother who was about to
be made the recipient Of 'this token
of our esteem
Brother Wight, blushing deeply, took
the paper packet in his hand and was
about to respond, when he noted what
the envelope contained. He turned
deathly pale, gasped for breath, turned
toward the door and dashed out into
the night. Roaring with laughter, his
hilarious brethren gave chase, but the |
fugitive was swallowed up in the gath
ering gloom. They had presented him
with six months subscription order |
on the Smootite organ in Zion.
Friday afternoon Wight traded the |
document to fruit stand man for three |
clingstone peaches

flesh and tearing the muscles loose. The
flesh was torn from the bone and one
wound had gone SO deep as to catch the
bone Itself.
The agon!zed screams OF the boy
brought assistance and the dog was beat
en- on. The injured lad was removed to
his home, and Dr.. c, Q. Snyder was called
and dressed the wounds. 1t was found
necessary to take thirteen stitches In or
der to close the incisons made by the
angry brute. Young Hill is In a serious
condition.

MATHON|HAH THOMAS
F0RGETS HIERARCHY
Says No Man Can Be Faithful
to Church Who Violates OBJ
legations to Country.

The usual Sunday afternoon services
we're held yesterday in the Tabernacle
A feature Of the musical programme
was the rendition of the anthem, "1n
Our Rcdeemer 8 Name,n bv the choir
following the invocation.
Following this Mr.. Mathonihah
Thomas delivered an address. He
spoke Of the teachings of the church
and of the seeming injustices that had
been put upon the followers of the
| creed by the leaders and heads Of the
organization, In explaining away these
points, the speaker snid in part: "The
seeming inJustices and the apparent un"
righteous attitude assumed by Brigham
Young, Joseph Smith and others who
were the recognized leaders Of the Nor
mon church were simply the outcome Of
natural misunderstanding by the lay.
man of the utteranccs OF those who
were inspired Of God.
Subsequent events have proven
that the early leaders Of the church
We're We're right in their every act and that
tney were inspired, were given an in-
sight into the future that could only
be possessed by those who were chosen
OF God to carry on the organization of
his work on earth,''
Mr.. Thomas spoke at length upon
the duty OF the members of the church
In giving their whole allegiance to the
church and to its officers and leaders.
In speaking of the duty that the mem
bers of the Mormon church owed to
their creed and to their Creator, the
speaker said:
"a false idea prevails among many
that IN giving allegiance TO the church
and its leaders a good Mormon must
give up his allegiance to his Govern
ment and to the nation of which he is
part,
"Tbis is not true. On the contrary,
no man can be faithful to the church
who violates his obligations as citi-
zen Of the United States, and no man
can be faithful to his duty TO his Gov
ernment who violates his obligations to
the church.
CIT is the duty Of every man and
woman in the organization of Latter
day Saints TO give full attention to
the discharge Of the duties that are in
cumbent upon him or her as citizen Of
this great nation, and he should strive
to set aside all discord and be Mt peace
with his fellow-man in every field, be
it what it may. Each follower of the
creed should bestow honor upon those
men in the church whom God has hon
ored, and each man should work faith
fully for the good Of the nation, the
church and his own salvation -
Following the address by Mr.. Thomas
was a hymn by the choir and congre.
cation, after which the benediction
was pronounced.

PONY BATTLES IN LAKE
Takes Swim at Saltair and Frighteus
His Owner.

His Owner.
A new bather, a pony, appeared AT
Saltair Saturday afternoon, and during
the nfteen minutes that he remained In
the water he enjoyed a most pleasant
swim and had all kinds of fun watching
the Saltair Beach life saving gang" on
RATS trying to rescue his life. He got
out none the worse for his adventure.
The pony, Little Pickaninny" by name,
is owned by Mr.. Gilbert who conducts a
trained animal show at the resort, and
| is less than eight hands. or thirty-two
| inches. high. That he is wise little ami
NAL and can appreciate the conveniences
which have been provided for those OF
the human race was evident from the
way he went in for dip In the salt
| lake Saturday.
! His master delights in taking pictures
Of his pets and on Saturday decided to
| secure another picture of the little horse
on the sand beach. With this end In
view he led the animal down the steps
and out near the edge of the water,
west Of the pavilion. where he posed him
and prepared to push the button on the
kodak
| He covered his head up in the black
cloth and after considerable fumbling
with the machine In getting IL set pro-
ceeded TO focus for his horse. He located
| the animal on the ground glass all right,
but instead OF 1t being where he had
placed him, he was seen to be running
out into the salt water. about knee-deep
toward Antelope island Mr.. Gilbert was
| too astounded TO do anything for a while
but he finally managed to yell to several
of the employees OF the bathing depart
ment TO try 10 head him off The pony
continued on the gallop, the brine splash
ing, until nearly hid from view.
Mr. Gilbert became frantic at the sight
OF his rapidly disappearing treasure and
finally started after him In his new black
suit of clothes and his new tan shoes.
The horse kept right on, with Mr.. Gill
bert IN his wake, regardless OF the water
and his new togs. The danger line, about
a block out from the end OF the pier,
was reached by the pony and he was
swimming as though bound for the other
side OF the lake.
The life saving crew of the beach.
consisting OF two men, two fiat boats, two
pairs OF overails and one necktie, set
sail in one OF the crafts, evidently with
the idea OF loading the horse onto the
boat. They sailed out and got between
the horse and the shore and then made
straight for the animal. which was by
that time IN water about twice as deep
as he is high Mr.. Gilbert was frantic
about his steed and stood up to his waist
In the water. expecting every moment
to see the pony drown. However, after
a swim OF 200 yards the pony decided that
he had had enough bathing. and after
giving the boatman in the distance a
genuine horse laugh. hurried to the shore
and complacently walked up to his mas
ter, He was hurried over to his quar-
ters and given a hurried bath by his
master, who was almost encased In
coat Of salt. According 10 his master
the pony has done many strange things,
but the caper OF Saturday IS a new one.

Was Rank Falsehood.
The story published by the Herald
Sunday morning in which Officer George
Harris Is charged with neglecting his
duty on the occasion Of the trouble at
the Salt Palace between Sam Dowse and
a reporter named Rishel. is strenuously
denied by both the officer and Acting
Chief of Police Burbidge. AS a matter
Of fact. the police say, Harris did not
arrive at the Palace until fully a quar-
ter OF an hour after the trouble and
has never been found In any degree lax
in the performance OF his duties.
The statement that Acting Chief Bur-
bidge had Harris ION the carpet" for
failing 10 do his duty on the occasion re-
ferred to. or on any other occasion, Is
absolutely false, according TO Mr. Bur-
bidge. The acting chief told Tribune
reporter Sunday that. while 1t was true
that Mr.. Harris had been IN his Office
Saturday. he had been there for con-
sultation on q matter entirely foreign
TO the Salt Palace affair.

CITY HAS RIGHT To
BUILD LIGHT PLANT
Can Erect One at the Mouth of
the Big Cottonwood
Conduit.
CLAUSE IN LIGHT TRUST
FRANCHISE NOT BINDING
Power Which Hierarchy Be-
lieved Tied Up for Fifty
Years Is Available.

My opinion Is now, as 1t always
has been, that tho clause in the
franchise, granted by Salt Lake City
to the Utah Light and Railway
company, in which the City Council
attempted to bind the city to use
the power Of Big Cottonwood creek
for power purposes only, for Pc
Rod of fifty years, and In which tho
City Council agreed not to change
the prices charged for Lights, ex-
cept under certain conditions, is not
binding upon the municipal corpora
tion. To be explicit, there might be
a question as to the city's right to
put in lighting plant for general
commercial purposes, but I do not
believe there would be any question
as to the city's right to put in a
lighting plant for municipal pur-
poses.-Former City Attorney Dey
