T0UGHS BEHIND BARS
New Corners in Salt Lake Suspected Of
Being Dangerous Criminals.

All day Wednesday two suspicious-look
ing characters were observed prowling
about the grounds Of the Latter day
Saints University. Late in the afternoon
the Police department was notified, and
officer Morris Lyon was sent out to In
vestiRate. On his way TO the University
the officer encountered two students
They pointed out the strangers. whom
they had followed from the University
just after the police had been notified.
Lyon went after them and they started
TO run away. At his command, however
they halted and submitted to arrest, AT
police headquarters the prisoners gave
the names Of Harry Hill and Tom Dill.
From the pockets OF the former was
taken a set OF tattoo tools. and both OF
them yielded number OF talloW candles.
They gave no information as TO what
they were doing with this mismatched
stuff. AS the wise men OF the detective
department can see no possible connection
between a tallow candle and a tattoo
needle, there lie some little mystery sur
rounding the case,
Recently a number OF overcoats and
other articles have been missed from the
University, and II is thought within the
range OF the possible that these men may
be connected with their disappearance.
Investigations with this purpose In View
are already under way. Meantime they
will be held at the city prison awaiting
investigation on charges OF trespass. They
are tough looking and tough acting char
acters. and have been in the city but
