ENGINEER REIsTER KILLED.
Struck on Head by Iron Support Of
Bridge.

William Reister. one OF the oldest and
most efficient engineers on the Rio
Grande Western. met with fatal acct
dent about 2 O'Clock Monday morning.
Reister was engineer on the train that
left Salt Lake o'clock Sunday night,
When near Farnhem, about $50 miles
from Salt Lake. the engineer observed
something wrong with one of the cars.
and believing II was hot box he leaned
far out OF the cab In an effort 10 locate
the trouble. He had evidently forgotten
that the train was nearing a bridge and
as the train ran on TO the span Reister
was struck on the back OF the head with
one Of the iron supports and knocked
from the cab.
The fireman was busy firing up at the
time of the accident and did not miss the
engineer until the train had gone some
distance. He at once stopped the train,
and relief was sent back 10 the bridge,
where they found the body OF the en-
gineer. but life was extinct The body
was removed and was brought back to
Salt Lake.

Mayor Conroy sent In a veto OF the
latest franchise granted the Ogden
Waterworks company. his reasons being
that a previous franchise had been
granted and accepted by the company.
The City Attorney was instructed by the
Council to draw up a new ordinance,
which would include the amendments 10
the two franchises that have already
passed. In this connection a bill for $3.50
was presented by Judge w. L. Maginnis
for assistance rendered City Attorney
Bagley In the matter or the waterworks
litigation. The claim was referred TO
the finance committee.
Another interesting scrap came up in
the meeting when the proposition to
lease 10 the OSucn GenSTal lOSpltaI the
city's hospital and property for an addi-
tIonal period of fifteen years, was pre-
sented DR. n. j Powers bitterly op-
posed the extension OF the lease, which
pays the city only $50 per annum. He
stated that Ogden had grown since the

should take the hospital back itself He
also stated that under the former lease
the officials of the hospital had agreed
TO spend $4,000 in improvements. the same
TO revert back 10 the city. and that they
had not expended one cent. As result
the motion to extend the lease was with
drawn, and DR.. Powers secured signal
victory for good municipal government.

Four Days Spent in the Noun
tain Fastnesses of Centen-
nial State.
ENTERTAINMENT WAS OF
A NOVEL CHARACTER
Indian War Dances and Stage
Coach Stick-Up Among
the Features.

Harry M. Cushing, travelling passen-
ger agent OF the Rio Grande, has just
returned from Colorado, where he has
been spending a pleasant time with the
delegates to the international Press
club convention, Cushing, the cheva-
her, brings with him an interesting bud
get concerning the doings of the press
men on a Junketing trip through Colo
RADIO, as the guests of the Denver & Rio
Grande, Colorado Midland and other
railroad companies and the press clubs
OF Denver and other cities in the State.
The party. numbering 34S, left Den
yer on special Denver & Rio Grande
train Friday morning for Colorado
Springs. Upon arrival there the party
divided, one~half hitting for Pike g
peak, the other paying visit to Cbey'
enne canyon. In the Garden of the Gods
unique arrangements had been made by
the Press club of Colorado Springs.
Tents had been pitched in the famous
scenic grounds, and here the visitors
spent the night, sleeping and eating un-
der canvas, corps Of cooks and wait"
ers having been employed.
Indians and a Stick-Up.
Some novel entertainment vas pro-
vided for the writers, something with
thrill In 1T, to please the wise men from
the far East. 1T consisted of war dances
and whoopS and the smoking of the
Calumet by real Indians. and the stick
ingup of an old Concord stage by the
Redmen, with all the trimmings of
shooting and shouting and the general
hubbub that usually accompanied such
unpleasantness. 1t was an interesting
innovation and thoroughly enjoyed by
the spectators
Saturday morning the trim was con-
tinued to Cripple Creek, where visit
was paid to the mines, and the even"
ing devoted to excessive hilarity OF the
good old days. Gambling and the dance
halls were opened up specially, for
one night only as they say In the
theatrical ads, and there was a little
of everything doing, and doubtless
few double eagles changed hands.
Party Was Photographed
The return journey was commenced
Sunday morning by way of the Royal
Gorge, where a stop was made for ten
minutes and photograph made of the
entire party on the hanging bridge. The
next stopping place was Sahda, where
a dinner of mountain trout was served
after which the party boarded two spe
cial trains of observation cars and Wis
tied the famous Marshall Pass. Re
turning to Salida the trip was contin
uod to Glenwood Springs, where they
all had plunge in the pool, some of
them had two, and spent the night at
that point.
On Monday they began the home
journey, taking the Colorado Midland,
and stopping at Leadville en- route.
The excursion was thoroughly en-
joyed and those who were in search of
"local COLOR obtained an abundance
thereof, with some realism thrown in.

The commission showed a disposition

some quarters that the commission has
the power TO interpret the entire law Is
incorrect. Only in so far as the law af-

the commission any discretionary pow
ers,
