Forwarded His Bond.

Yesterday F. M. Winters forward
ed his bond to Washington for ap-
proval. Mr.. Winters supposed that
he would have the privilege of Civ
ing Fidelity bond, but the post
Office department notified him that
only personal bonds were accepted
from postmasters. The bond is for
$1,000, with sureties for double that
amount.
Mr.. Winters has announced the
appointment of his sister, Miss
Lizzie Winters. as deputy postmas-
ter. She is required to give bond
in the sum of $4,000, and it can be
either Fidelity or personal bond.
She has decided to give the former.
Miss Winters has been in the To-
cal telephone Office for the past six
years and for about four years she
has been chief operator, and more
faithful and obliging lady never sat
at switch board. During all those
years we doubt if Il single kick has
ever been re5isterej against her by a
patron of the company. She ha,
filed her resignation with the tele-
phone company but will remain IN
the Office until the latter part of the
month.

He Was a Fraud

Beresford Hope, the man who
visited Montpelier few weeks ago
for the purpose of inspecting the
copper properties east of town,
turns out to be fraud of the frst
water and a man with a checkerd
career. He represented himself to
be the financial agent of several i'm
mensely rich British synidacates,
and as such he was promoting en-
terprises of all kinds in Salt Lake.
In all cases, however, he demanded
a big commission in advance and
succeeded in "worklng" several of
lions capitalists out of good sums.
His methods became too raw for
some OF the more shrewd ones there
and when Hope saw that they were
getting next to HIM, he hiked ont,
leaving numerous unpaid bills.
Cablegrams from the London syn
dicates brought the information
that Hope was not known in fnan
circles there, while some of Tbs
companies be claimed TO represent
do not exist at all. Pinkerton'l
Detective Agency is authority fol

is Sydey Las Cellas and that he hal

NEW STOCK LAW
Shippers May Penefit by It Only by
Making Application for Permits.
PHASES OF NEW REGULATIONS
Permits to Make Shipments fer Longer
Than 28 Hours Can Only be Made
by Agricultural Department.


The Hepburn SO hour livestock
bill became law on June %, when
it was signed by the president.
Since that time the department. of
agriculture, which is charged with
the administration of the new stat
ute, has made preparation to issue
permits to all shippers of livestock
who care To avail themselves of it's
more liberal terms. The permits to
make shipments for periods longer
than 20 hours can only be made by
authority of the secretary of agrl-
culture, and those not obtaining
such permits will be required to
conform to the old law.
The Hepburn law, of course, APP
piled only to livestock shipped in
cars that have no facilities for feed
ing IN transit, and which are so
crowded as to deprive the stock of
rest while on the rail. Stock that
is shipped IN the more modern cars,
and which is regularly fed and
watered on the cars is not affected
by this law.
The bill in it's approved form pro-
hibits any railroad from transport
ing livestock from one state to an
other for period longer than %
consecutive hours without unloading
the same into properly equipped
pens for rest, feeding and water,
and it is stipulated that the se STOP
ping periods shall be at least five
hours in duration. In case of storms
or on account of other unavoidable
circumstances, shipments may be
prolonged beyond the 2s hour
period without authority from the
department. But upon written re-
quest of the owner or person IN Gus
tody of any particular shipment the
time of confinement on the cars may
be prolonged to 36 hours. The time
consumed in loading and unloading
shall not he considered, but the time
during which steak may have been
deprived of rest, food and water on
connecting roads shall be included,
it being the purpose of the act to
prevent excessive confinement. The
law specifically states that it shall
not be required that sheep be un
loaded in the night time, but where
the time expires after dark sheep
may continue in transit to suitabl
place for unloading. subject to The
aforesaid 36-hour limitation.
Under the law, animals when un
loaded must be properly fed anc
watered by the owner or person hav
ing them in charge, orr in case of hi
default, by the railroad, at the ex
pense of the owner or manager. II
this latter event the railroad com
pany will have lien upon tn
animals, collectable at theiI destina
ton.
Any railroad company that vic
lates the provisions of this law viii
be subject to fine of rot less thai
800 nor more than $500, such per
atty to be recovered either In tn
courts having jurisdiction where tn
offense was committed, or in tn
courts having jurisdiction wher
the company has its Offices.

a Live Wire.

slayer and Judge Sullivan both con-
cur, the sapreme court atfirms the
Judgment Of Judge Frank j. Smith
of the district court of Washington
county in awarding a judgment to
plaintiff in the case of James Eaton
vs.. the city of Weiser. and also in
denying a motion of defendant for
new trial.
The suit was started by plaintiff,
a l7-year-old school boy, by his
guardian ad litem, for damages for
personal injuries sustained from
coming in contact with live cleo
trio wire on the evening of March I,
1904. 1t was alleged that the wire
belonged to the city which owned
an electric lighting system and sold
power and electricity to citizens for
lighting purposes. 1t was stated
that tree had been felled and had
fallen across the wire, causing 1t to
sag; that the city officials having
charge of the electric system and
the foreman and superintendent of
the system had been notified of the
mishap and the danger of allowing
the wire to remain in that condition,
but failed to repair the damage.
Plaintiff came in contact with the
wire in the evening while riding
along the stie on horseback. In
the trial considerable evidence was
introduced to show the negligence
of the city authorities In allowing
the wire 10 remain SO sagged that
people driving along the street were
Obliged to turn out to the right or
left to avoid it. Plaintiff was al.
lowed damages IN the sum of $l050
Appeals were taken from the judg
ment and from Judge Smiths order
overruling a motion for a new trial
The supreme court opinion reads ir
part as follows:
"The first contention made by ap
pellant Is that the city is not liable
for personal injuries to individual'
occasiened through the negligence
of officers of the corporation K
properly perform their duties. W.
had OCCASION to give this contention
very careful consideration in the cas-,
