HALL SECRETLY
 AFTER ICE MEN
He Is On the Lookout for Men Who Deliver Short Weight and Go
 Without Scales.

Inspector A. J. Hall is getting in some good work In surprising ice men while they are delivering short weight ice. Tho ice man never knows when he is going to be caught if he is selling half as much ice as he is being paid for, as MT. Hall simply goes out, watches them and then 'pinches" them. They are unaware until he touches them on the shirt sleeve.
 Three Ice wagon drivers were up be- fore Judge Feagin yesterday, one for not having the required pair of scales on his wagon and the other two for selling short weight ice. The man without scales was fined $250 and the case of the other TWO men were set for today. Judge Feagin will probably abuse them to the limit of the law If they are found guilty.
 Sixteen garbage canless citizens ap- peared in the police court yesterday morr- ing, and the last one of them pleaded guilty of being caught without the goods. For some reason Judge Feagin imposed fines of only g. 50 each on the crowd, and then told them to get garbage cans The city will soon grow rich off such people, as $40 a day is about the average collec- ton from this source.

Becoming Industrious.

The 400 members of the Ute band of red Ameri-
cans that left their Utah reservation last fall have
encountered the sternest kind of fate III the land of
their destination They went to the plains of South
Dakota to hunt buffalo and found only ack-rabbits
and soldiers, and about as many of as of the
other.
They were successfully rounded up and the Sioux
of South Dakota rented them some land, for which
the Government pays. But the Utes told that
they could not be supported in dleness-that they
must earn the wherewitha1 for the purchase of the
necessaries of life Learning from the example of
the comparatively industrious Sioux that it hus
tie or starve under the new dispensation the Utes
accepted employment and they building
railroads in the foothills of the Black Hills at so
much per diem
Such is the outcome of the hunting and fishing
expedition which the Utes fondy believed would
bring them untold camp luxuries in the land of the
Dakotas. They found the warriors of a generation
ago-the untameabe Sioux-tending their focks,
planting and harvesting crops, working day labor
filling manual contracts of their ownall
busy keeping the wolf from the door. 1t was then
that new aspect of life came into the vision of
the wandering Utah Indians and they fell in with
the custom and toleraby busy. 1t is the
policy of the Indian Bureau to make the red wards
of the Government self-supporting wherever they
exist and the introduction of the Utes to the toll
of the white man is sample of the treatment that
is to be gradually extended to all the bands and
tribes.

.SHOPL|FTiHG SEASON OPENS
Holiday Rush Brings Many Clever
Woman Thieves to Down
Town Stores.

The open season for shoplifters is on
again. and the first steps have been tax
en- showing that professionals are already
at work for the merry Christmas season
Numerous umbrellas have disappeared in
the past week or two, but yesterday q
sensational haul was made, when two
valuable mink muffs were taken within
the space of fifteen minutes. The muffs
were not the property of the shOpkeep-
erS. but of customers. and were laid down
for only a minute or two in each case,
when they disappeared. Diligent search
was instituted and il is thought that al
ready some clue has been found as to
the whereabouts of at least one of the
articles. While these were the only ar
ticleS of any great value that disdp-
peared, there were many smaller things.
especially from the trinket counters,
which were purlOined almost under the
eyes of the clerks and in many cases the
guilty ones were not caught.
Matters are made more serious by the
fact that the crowds of shoppers exceed
any ever seen before in the local shops
and in many cases it is necessary to
wait several minutes before one can move
in even the main aisles of the depart
ment stores. While this is always the
condition at this season of the year. the
than it has ever been before. and this
of course gives a better opportunity for
the working of women crooks.
Another thing which contributes largely
to the success of such people IS the care
lessness of the women shoppers. They
attempt to carry too many things and
consequently are Obliged to place some
few articles on counters at every turn.
Frequently they forget and run the length
of shop. leaving muff or even purse
behind, to return frdnticallV the next
minute looking for the lost articles.

between Frank Mantell and Rube Smith
cinched. he finds that he is fooled. Man

last night, bat Mantell wired that F'itZ-
gerald had backed down and that Harry
Lewis was to be taken on Wednesday
night and that he would then be ready
to start for Salt Lake. Wood was afraid
something might happen to Mantell and
decided to get another man to take Man
tells place for the first scrap at the
Lagoon. saving Mantell for later date.
Charles Williams. the Rock Springs
scrapper, was wired yesterday and
promptly replied that he would meet
Smith, and this is the card Wood now Of
fers the fight fans. This card should
make good one. While Williams is not
known as champion, he has a good
record and is quite a scrapper. He should
give Smith a hard battle The best of
the match is that Wood is not importing
any lemons in making this match. and
that goes a long way in a game which
is noted for the plants that are sent
