-Four Big Transformers at Ogden
Destroyed, Causing Loss
of $4,000.

A brush fire on the cast bench, about
a mile northeast OF the state prison
on Twelfth South. at about $3.50 Thurs
day evening, played havoc both In Salt
Lake and ogden.
The nre caught a pole on the trans
mission line which extends from the
power plant in Big Cottonwood canyon
across the bench and up TO the plant In
ogden. and caused short circuit.
This was communicated to the four big
transformers at the ogden station and
fire Immediately started In three OF
them. The transformers being nlled
with oil. made the checking OF the
flames almost impossible. BY use OF
sand they were finally brought under
control, but not until the big trans
formers had been practically destroyed,

PATHETIC CASE IS THAT
OF DEMENTED WOMAN
Mother of Seven Children; She
Secured Razor and Threat
ened Lives of All.

Mrs. j. c. Cronin, wife OF a section
foreman now at Lovelock, New, was ar
rested at 1890 this morning and de-
'slned at the city prison TO await In
Nestlgation as to her mental condition.
The case Is pathetic one.
Mrs. Cronin lives with her seven chill
dren In the rear OF 1877 North Seventh
West street and has been a sufferer
from mental alteration for ten years.
NO one Knows better than the poor
woman herself that her mind Is unbal-
anced and no one has tried harder TO
keep under control the demon OF in
sanity which has at irregular intervals
threatened TO assume the ascendency.
Scores of times the hapless mother
has begged her children and her neigh
bors TO have her placed under restraint
but they have declined to do so. hoping
that In time she might be restored TO
normal mental health.
Becomes Violently Insane.
This morning. however, the climax
come and Mrs. Cronin become violently
insane. She seized u razor and threat
ened to kill all her children and then
take her own life. There was nothing
TO do but overpower her and send for
the police.
The parting of the mother and her
children was pltiable in the extreme.
One moment she would declare that sho
was glad she was going away from
them forever, and the next she would
caress and fondle them in the most low
ing manner. The children, ranging IN
age from 4 to Is years, clung to their
mother and begged her not to go away
from them. AT times she would hesl-
tate for a moment, as though half per-
suaded by their fearful entreates. but
she would soon again assert her de-
termination to go where she could wage
| war slngle-handed against the demon
which sat enthroned in her mind.

The controversy over Cove Neck shore front has

park dates back TO the times prior to the Norman

There are all sorts OF legends and stories in
connection with the place, which was rented by
Kink Edwards sailor brother, the late Prince AL
fred, Duke of Edinburgh and of Coburg. who en-
tertained there both the Car Alexander II and the
late Czarina. One of the curious relics the
park is a cottage, rather the ruin of one, which
was occupied during the greater part Of his life

known Richard Plantagenet, and from the time
Of the death of his hunchback father the battle

old Roman Catholic fames-those families which
