her and her mother, who lives in this
city, in the evening. He then left
her and went TO the Wilson. He no.
ticed that her name was written on
the book and was greatly surprised as
he had left her but few minutes
before; she supposedly, going to her
mothers. Mr.. Beggs says Mrs. Brom-

en- route to Salt Lake. and explains
that she was often morose. 1t was
after sending his card up twice. that
Mr.. Beggs determined to see Mrs.
Bromway and investigation lead TO u

His Name Was RalSeoff~--C e. Eddy,
the poet-prospector Is at the Wilson,
Mr.. Eddy is an old Salt Lake news
paper man but is now engaged in
mining in Idaho. I've just come
srom the central portion of Idaho and
have number of great claims there,
he said today. There is no boom
on in Idaho at the present time but
quiet development is proving the
country wonder" Mr.. Eddy has
pieces of quartz spotted with parti-
cles of free gold. He has one speci-
men he shows his friends only. II
have established a number of news
papers-most of them in Idaho and
Washington. AS l left them while
they We're in their infancy years ago
they are still in prosperous existence.
/ remember a funny thing which hap
pened in a country town where l had
established little paper. There was
another paper in the town and II
promptly began to start crusade
against me. The editor thought out
II scheme of publishing the pictures
and brief histories of the towns most
prominent residents at so much per
picture and history. After collecting
the money due upon the articles the
editor skipped, leaving the office
well the office was all he left
THE rest was easy. l wrote
series of stories, using his name in
all of them and in a few weeks my
hated and heated rival was no more.
Rakeoff-can you imagine anything
true being closer to the impossible? ~

people of the same name are at one
hotel, hence our register shows some
thing out of the ordinary.
