Washburn-What came near being
a sad mistake with fearful possible
results, Is said to have happened here.
The Standard Oil company, so the
story goes, received a car of gasoline
and by mistake emptied it into the
kerosene tank which had only about
a foot Of oil left in it. The oil was
then delivered at various points by
the tank load, but before any of it
got into the consumers hands the
error was discovered, and hurried no.
tees sent out to stop sales. What the
result might have been had the gaso.
line got into general use is hard to
tell, but it is. fortunate that it didn't
reach it's final destination.

has been received at Valdez to pay off
the 600 employees of the Alaska Nome

TROUBLE OVER
TRANSFER SLIP
One Man Killed, One Fatally
Wounded and Two Others
Shot in San Francisco Car.

San Francisco; Oct 19.-As a result of
trouble over transfer slip on a Polk
street car of the United Railroads sys-
TEN this evening, one man was shot and
killed, another so seriously wounded that
death will probably ensue, and two other
men less severely injured. The slain man
was Otto Moss, aged "a years. a hod-car-
rier by occupation. Otto P. Enerwein was
shot through the neck and left eve, and
will probably die. John Monger, a hod-
carrier, was shot through the left hand
Bernard Goldstein was shot through the
right leg.
Joseph Steffens will probably lose the
sight of his left eye, which was filled with
shattered glass.
The conductor of the car, E. B. Brown
and the motorman, E. A. Purcell are at
the city prison, and will be charged with
murder.
During the quarrel over the transfer,
some one threw off the trolley pole, and
the car came to a standstill. The stop
page OF the car. coupled with a noise in
the rear led Motormar Purcell to believe
that his mate was in danger and, revolver
in hand, he pushed his way through the
crowded car. Women and children were
thrown into a panic and a mad rush was
made to escape. Women trampled upon
children, and windows were broken by the
affrighted passengers, whose hysteria and
fears were increased when the shooting
began.

ready to enter the lists. The challenge in
full follows:
Salt Lake City, Utah. Oct. 49, 1907.
Hon j. +. Darmer, Chairman American
City Committee. Salt Lake City. Utah
Dear Sir: The platform of principles
adopted by the American party in city

of an era of public improvements: and for
placing the citys finances in a far bet
| ter condition than when the American
| administration took charge"
| The Democrats of the city respectfully
challenge the correctness of these claims
and. as the result of the coming election
will turn largely upon whether or not
| these claims are correct, We have the hon
| or to submit for public debate between
representatives of the Democratic and
| American" parties the following propo-
sitions:
| line administration or Richard +.
| Morris secured the Big Cottonwood water
| for Salt Lake City, matured plans for
| bringing that water into the city and
| thereby solved for all time the problem
| of a permanent municipal water supply.
| 2-The administration of Richard p.
Morris inaugurated the splendid system
| of modern sewers, sidewalks and pave
ments, matured the plans and provided for
most of the work that has since been
done.
3-The administration of Richard P.
Morris managed the finances Of the city
| far better than has the present American
administration: and IT left the public
! treasury in a far better condition than it
! has been at any time since.
| The Democrats of the city will be glad
/ to afford the taxpayers and the citizens
generally an opportunity to hear these
vitality important questions fully discussed
! For this reason. and with the best inter
ests of the whole community in view, We
suggest a series of open debates between

| ings shall be shared equally by the two
