WOULD SAVE DOG
EVEN IF BOY DIED
Bishop Seddon Places Higher
Value on Vicious Canine
Than on Boys Life.

Leonard Hill, tho ten-ycar- r-old boy
who was badly bitten by bulldog
owned by Bishop S. NJ. T, Seddon, as
detailed in The Tribune Monday, is
still in a serious condition. Tho young
lad lies at the home of his father, w.
b Hill, suffering intensely from tho
throbbing pains which rack his left
leg. That member, the one which was
so horribly mangled by the vicious
brute so highly priced by Bishop Sed-
don, is terribly swollen, the quivering
muscles pain and ache, and the torn
flesh bleeding and poisoned by the
teeth of 4 man-eating brute, may have
been infected by the virus of hydro
phobia. DR. G. G, Snyder, who has at
tended the boy since his unfortunate
accident, says that the case is very
serious one.
The animal which so terribly man
gled the boy still lives, notwithstand.
ing the fact that the father Of the
injured lad, acting on the theory that
unless the dog was killed hydrophobia
would surely attack his son, asked the
owner of the brute TO end its life.
The excuse was given that the SIX
pups, Of which the dog is the mother.
are too young to wean, and the anxious
father was given to understand that
the dog would continue to live, there
by leaving the inference that Bishop
Seddon values the lives Of his vicious
bulldog and her six pups more highly
than he does the life Of an innocent
boy, the son of his neighbor.
Monday morning when the father of
the injured lad called on Seddon re-
garding the death Of the dog, the
bishop said he would see that it was
killed AS the day wore on and the
boy grew no better, the anxious father
went again TO the Seddon residence
to beg that the dog be killed, thereby
giving the boy every chance to escape
the most horrible of deaths Mr.. Hill
found upon his second visit that the
dog was locked up in the barn of its
owner, and the latter absolutely re-
fused to let it be killed, even though
the act might save the boys life.
May Go Into Court
Mr. Hill firmly believes that unless
the dog is killed his boy will 90 into
the throes of hvdrophobia and a ter
rible death, and unless the dog is
killed before noon he intends to take
the matter into court in order to get
some redress for the outrage.

STORM UP THE CANYON.
Most Severe Downpour Ever Expert
enced In Little Cottonwood.

Campers and visitors up Little Cot
tonwood canyon Sunday afternoon
were treated to one of the most severe
downpours of rain ever experienced in
that territory. The rain followed
beautiful morning, and the canyon was
filed with campers and their visitors,
About . o'clock in the afternoon the
deluge began in earnest, and banquet
tables were abandoned to the elements.
Refuge was sought in tents, but
these might as well have been absent,
for the driving rain poured in at every
crevice. Campers consequently sour
ried in to Wasatch or Sandy and
sought the evening train for Salt Lake.
Passengers upon the stages report
very wet time in from Alta. Little
protection was afforded by the stage
curtains, and the roads were terribly
cut up by the great floods of water
which poured down both road and
creek

Former Salt Lakers Have Ter
ribIe Experience on Lake
Mcdonald.
H. D. F0LSM, JR., WIFE
AND son ALMOST DROWN
Boat Caught In Storm Almost
Capsizes in Thousands of
Feet of Water.

II. D. Folsom, Jr., his wife and three
yearold son, formerly Of this city, re-
Gently had strange and terrible ex-
perience on Lake Mcdonald in Mon
tana. which nearly resulted in the death
Of the three. Mr.. Folsom, in letter
to his mother dated from Kalispel,
Mont, August Ia, has the following to
say Of his adventure;
"Yesterday morning Fannie, George
and l had an awful experience on the
lake. During a lull in the storm We
rowed over TO the hotel TO get some
bread. The lake was then as smooth
as glass. When we were returning, and
were about one-third Of the way across,
furious wind suddenly came up, and
in a moment or two the lake was tossing
terribly.
Mile From Shore.
"We were more than n mile from
shore and | could not move the boat
at all with the oars. The storm kept
increasing, and soon the waves started
to lap the back of the boat and break
over it. l was deathly afraid we were
going to be swampcd every minute The
passenger boat was about q quarter of
a mile to our left and | shouted to the
captain to come to our assistance, but
he did not hear me He saw our peril
however. and came in closer. ready TO
rush in if we upset, but dared not come
too close for fear of giving us the wake
from his boat.
Fortunately I remembered a row l
once had with Denny on Cayuga lake
and how he managed the boat in the
waves. Fannie also remembered ex-
perlences she had had and acted as
pilot, while / exerted all my strength
in pulling TO keep the boat headed with
the waves. l realized that if we al
lowed the waves to roll the boat side
wise we were lost.
Finally Blown to Land.
Fortunately the wind was shore
ward, and, together with the waves,
took us in at a terrific rate. 1t then
could control the direction of the boat
and / pulled the left oar hard and
strong. The big boat still kept its dis
tance, the captain telling me afterward
that he saw [ had the right idea and
that he was afraid he might make mat
ters worse by coming after us unless
lost control.
''When we were half frantic with
fear and thought we were gone, Fannie
saw we were fast approaching shore and
reassured me, And so we rode on for
a few minutes, finally landing on the
rocky shore more than n mile from
camp. ! jumped out and. grabbing the
rope, pulled the boat high on the beach
Fannie then almost went into Mysteries,
although she had controlled herself ad-
mirably until we were safe. George
climbed ashore and ran screaming like
mad toward the pier, several hundred
yards away. We found the campers
half frantic with fear for US and ex-
tremely glad we were safe.
''If we had gone down it would have
been in thousands of feet of water
People have sounded 2200 feet without
finding bottom''

MUTTON JONES'S CASE
BOBS UP AGAIN
Introduction of Vouchers 0cCu-
pies Whole Days Ses-
sion of Court.

The case against William, alias Nut.
ton, Jones, charged with embezzlement
and grand larceny, occupied the day IN
the court of Justice of the Peace Dana
r. Smith, Monday.
County Attorney Farley 2. Christcn-
sen proceeded TO introduce VOUCHERS to
show the purchase and delivery of arti
clcs which Jones is accused of stealing
the purpose being TO prove that these
articles aggregated in value the sum OF
$50, which, 1t is claimed, IT is necessary
to show in order TO substantlate 4
charge of grand larceny,
Soren X Christensen, for the defense,
objected TO this procedure except with
the understanding that, at later time,
these articles be shown to have been
actually stolen by his client. On this
condition the vouchers were allowed to
90 in, and the whole day was devoted
to their introduction.
John C. Mackay, chairman of the
Board of County Commissioners, was
called to prove that a number Of the
articles mentioned in the complaint had
been purchased for the county infirm-
airy by the defendant. The list was
gone over as the voucher for each arti-
Gle was reached, and the indications
are that there will be little difficulty
in proving the necessary amount of
stolen property.
In the afternoon James Sabine, Jr
present superintendent of the infrmary
took the stand and swore that, when he
took charge of the institution, he took
careful inventory and found many
articles missing which should have been
there. A refrigerator, bed and g
wardrobe he said, had been taken away
when Jones, his predecessor in Office
left
