OVER THE CRIME
How Several Of Those Concerned
Spent a Very Festive
Night Of Il.

it was proved by investigation on the
part Of the News" today that the
gang Of bunco men which has infested
Salt Lake until Alexander and William
McWhrter, the two young Scotchmen,
were feeced out Of $4,000, remained
here until their Victims returned from
Los Angeles. Then the word was pass
ed around. and the gang scattered.
Jim" Donaldson fed to Goldheld New,
the two O'Briens are now In Old Mexico
and Bell has dropped out of sight. He
is believed, however, to be in hiding in
this city.
On the night of,the crime the entire
gang drove out to New England addi-
ton to the home OF Mrs. King, sister
Of Jim Donaldson. They took with
them beefsteaks, bottles Of liquor and
other things wherewith to celebrate. In
the midst Of their celebrating Bell
drove up 10 the house in post haste
and told the story of how he had To
take his victim TO Chief Sheets In or
der to shake him. He wanted the mon
ey TO square things and he wanted IT
quick.
When the two victims returned to
town they fell into good hands. Atty.
G.. o, WhIttemore of the Salt Lake
Route. who had been telegraphed from
Los Angeles received them and saw TO
IL that they told their tale to people
who would see that they were not fur
Their imposed upon
Then followed some lively telephon-
ing down town and Bell drove back to
town acting on instructions and deliv-
cred the money to the chief of police.
After the ScOtchmen had been safely
put aboard the. train the gang COM
menced to celebrate and the news of
the Touch on the suckers spread
throughout the tenderlon.
Several gentlemen here took up the
matter and the money was Yuaranteed
TO see the thing through to tile bitter
end.
One OF the Scotchmen is now quar-
tered here az a hotel under an assumed
named His brother is out of town
With a deputy sheriff on the trail OF
one OF the gang, Both propose TO stay
here and go into business Both assert
that they VIII push the matter to the
bitter end and despite all efforts 20 get
them to leave town will prosecute to
the end, no matter whom 1t involves
and there are some live ones who, II is
said, will have to do some tall talking
to clear their skirts.

WYOMING VARSITY
OPENS SEASON
Meets Maddock's Men at Cum.
mings' Field Next Saturday
In New Football.
TRIAL FOR REFORM RULES.
Utah Men Are in Good shape and
Should Play In Seasons
Form.

The football season In Utah viii be-
gin with a sudden rush on Saturday
next. Coach Maddox Is called upon
suddenly by the University Of Wyo-
ming whose team has been thrice de-
feated by the Utah warriors on the
gridiron, to stand by and defend
utah's title to the championship of
Wyoming.
The challenge has been accepted
hnd articles were signed up saturday
afternoon. calling for game In SAT-
Lake next Saturday. The wyoming
team Is strong one. and last year
played a fast game, with fairly light
men IN both the line and the back
neld. They went easily into camp
once the Utah back field got TO operat-
ing on them.
This year the new rules put pre-
MUM on fast play Maddock's men
have lined up few times but 80 far
have not INDUCED in scrimmage
with another team. What the new
rules will make out of MaddOck's
game Is still an unsoYed mystery and
everyone on the campus Is anxious to
find out what can be done with them
Practise so far has brought out a few
new plays with the long distance pass
ing and rapid fire work behind tho
line. With Wyoming playing much
the same Kind of a game an interest
ing Introduction should be given salt
Lakers TO the reformed game.
THE LINEUP.
How the Utah team viii play IN It's
irltial lineup Will not be determined
till late in the week. Bennion Of
course will captain the team from the
pivotal position In the center Of the
back. Russell win probably be AZ his
side on tho offensive, and will play do
fenslve end as the heavy men VIII be
sorcly needed this year to stop slashing
end runs that must gain their | o yards
10 prevent the loss OF the ball. Who
the other half Will be Is still uncertain.
There are three new men out and
Brown. who handled the place last
year. may be back although his return
Is considered as doubtful.
MANY AsPIRANTs.
For the line, varley is still there
ms center. He plays hard, but lacks
weight, and no heavier man has shown
up to displace him. Hennossy and
Barton are out for guards but there
are other aspirants who will Keep
them both at work. The tackels are
Capt. Peterson of last years team,
who may be shifted to end II another
good man shows up for his tackle pc
sition, and any other good man from
among half dozen who are showing
form Dale Pitt will probably offic-
ate behind the line with the ball. He
came to his own last year In the quar-
terback's position, and while there are
three other aspirante, they will have
10 dislodge him from n position on
which he has u pretty secure mort
gage.
The condition Of tho men is not
poor for this time In the year. In fact
IL is better than In the middle OF last
years season, and the game next sat
nrday can be depended upon to bring
out n Utah team playig ball that Is
Indicative OF its best possibilities for
the year.

which we had interrupted. Our friend
who had shown MS up asked TO be al
lowed to participate IN the game, and
after some slight hesitation the mlning
expert agreed and dealt him out hand.
Each OF the other men had opposite him
a large pile OF poker chips IN different
colors. and our friend bought no worth
Of these to start him IN play. Ghe first
game resulted In his winning $40, nut Of

he said that he would draw out Of the

my friend said he would put up the
money, but the mining expert refused
to allow this and said that he would
scoop the lot unless this was covered.
My friend examined my hand and said
1t was a great hand and that / should

and Immediately thereafter the game
was rushed IN to $500 the next hand,
and the same thing occurred and to
