FREAK FAIRIES NOT, WANTED
BY SHERIFF WHITES DEPUTIES

Franklin is the criminal detective for
the office and the others stood by while
he read the message. Easy money"
he said. SHERIFF White isn't here.
Will get his copy Of Tompkns' Sheriffs'
Telegraph code and turn this out In a
minute"
He got the code and sure enough
there in bright letters was the word
fairy" with the translation, "A eer-
titled copy"
Fine" said Franklin, and the others
Rasped. Some one evidently wanted to
know whether the sheriff wanted a Ger
tilted copy Of something, and the deputy
continued.
But there was no translation for
dome" and so the deputy at last gave
1t up.
Removable Domes Desirable
According to deputies the Gact was
apparent that the sheriff didn't want a
fairy, but that If he did one with re-
movable dome would be preferable to
any other kind impressed itself forcibly
upon them. In case the fairy had a re-
movable dome the sheriff might remove
her dome when he got tired of hearing
her talk or might have couple of
extra domes thrown in with the fairy
so that he might change her from a
blonde to brunette or put on an
auburn attachment for diversion.
After hours of hard work the deputies
heard a strange noise. and they dashed
to side room where one of the chief
deputies had secluded himself. The
deputy was scratching his elbow and
making q noise like Sherlock Holmes.
What Is it?' asked the deputies in a
breath.
II have got an idea," said the deputy
as he continued to scratch his elbow.
Yes, we used to have those things
in the circus" responded the others.
Let's call UP the wholesale iron
works firms Of Los Angeles and find
out which one is expecting fairy by
telegraph" suggested the deputy.
The $. j. Smith Machinery company
admitted that they needed such tele-
gram at their office and that they had
received a telegram with some stuff
about a burglar in it which they had
been unable to fit to their particular
cipher.

excursionists intend remaining here
and having their families and house
hold goods follow them within a week,
while as many more will pack up as
soon as they return and can arrange
to get away. They have simply fallen
in love with the country in general
and Los Angeles in particular and, as
1 said before, it means loss for Salt
Lake and gain in population of sew
eral hundred people for Los Angeles.
Exalted Ruler Cleaveland is among
the number talking of moving here.
Mr.. Cleaveland refused to be inter-
viewed upon the subject as he was
afraid of the reception he would re-
ceive upon his return to Utah were
it made public that he thought of de-
serting the Salt Lake city herd, but
intimate friends have already located
him on a chicken ranch near the city
and say he is in earnest when he says
Los Angeles for mine"
Secretary Raybould is quoted as say
ing that he would rather live five
years in Los Angeles than twenty in
Salt Lake and if he can paint a pic
ture of the orange groves in such a
life like manner that his wife and
family can smell the blossoms, he
thinks there will be little trouble in
persuadng Mrs. Raybould to join
him.

MONTANANS BRAVE OCEAN,;
SEE CATALINA ISLAND
SOME EDITORS CAST ANCHOR
THERE OVER NIGHT
Go Into Raptures over Marine GAR
dens and Come Back Loaded With
Shells of the Deep Sea Kind.
Balloon Route Trip Today

Montana's editors visited Santa Cata-
lima island, the park in the Pacific,
Wednesday and left with reluctance.
These men of the pencil and pen, who
had Travelled far said there was no
lovelier spot anywhere, and some would
not join their comrades when the
Cabrillo's whistle sounded "All aboard"
They remained on the island.
All who came back were loaded with
shells.
Sixty composed the party. which, led
by President Sam Gordon and Secre-
tary Walter Aitken. marshaled at the
Salt Lake depot in the morning to take
the train for San Pedro. One-third of
them were women-wives, daughters
and nieces of members.
They started off with a cheer and
kept up the merry gait, soaring the
mermaids and having recourse to
cough drops later to cure hoarseness.
The most serious mishap of the day
was the loss of Adolph Heilbronner' S
hat. Heilbronner is from Butte and is
the life of the excursion. His witty
sallies and ability to throw laughter
into everyday life has earned him a
vote of thanks as a prince of enter
tainers. The hat sailed into the ocean
near Avalon. He had an extra yacht
ing cap for just such an emergency.
Assisting as guide, and admirably
so, Robert S. Cauvin's services were
much appreciated. He is advertising
agent for the Salt Lake route.
Some of the Montanans found the
choppy sea distressing and retired to
the cabins, but for most of them NAL de
mer had no terrors. They kept their
eyes fastened on the magic isle,
watched for flying fishes and ignored
the swaying of the staunch Cabrillo.
One jolly bunch fought off seasick-
ness by telling stories. These were
Joseph Smith II of the Virginia City
Madisonian; ], S. Alling, Helena Rec
ord; John w. Pace, Helena Stockman
and Farmer w. Elery johnson, Rose
bud County News of Forsyth, and Fred
Naegele, Helena Staats-Zutung.
The two hours spent on the island
were full of activity. The aquarium In
clined railway, stage coaches, herds of
sheep, golf links, Sugar loaf Lovers
cave, glass bottomed boats and coin
divers were provocative of amusement
and admiration. The rain grew In
volume and the tourists We're glad to
seek the shelter of the cabins on the
return voyage.
Today the tourists will make the
trolley trip over the Balloon route.
Friday and Saturday Mount Lowe and
San Diego are scheduled for visits.

have caus.d the mother to Shrek with

Not an Expert at Carrying Infants
But Jack was hopeful and while he
didn't know how to , hold the infant
he changed her position every ten min
utes so that no part of the tiny body
could be badly injured through his
carelessness.
Occupants of the late car from Mon

to a sudden halt and a great Swede
with a canon boarded 1t and after him
little deputy carrying a bundle of
clothing from which emerged loud
walls at stated intervals.
Twenty times on the road the deputy
compelled the motorman to sound the
long shrieking steam whistle of the
car in order that the baby might be
amused, while Adolph was compelled
to wave his hair, open his mouth wide,
whistle and dance while the baby
laughed and the stern deputy held her
and kept his hand suggestively on his
blackjack. So they came to Los An
geles, just as the hour of midnight
tine, bringing his blessing, the little
deputy walked softly into the Jail
while the Swede tiptoed in advance.
The baby was still active and the
restless inmates lowered their voices
and gazed in wonder and awe and the
matron grasped the child with a little
cry of dismay and Immediately re-
moved about half the clothing.

examination promises to be a stern one.
