BOYS TELL WEIRD TALE.
Drank Fathers Wine and Cause Com
motion in North Ogden.

North Ogden was given sensation yes,
terday that will long be remembered, anu
although il was a short lived one, IL Was
real while il lasted.
Charles Pettigrew had business in Og-
den Yesterday and with Mrs. Pettigrew
came to the city early in the forenoon.
leaving his three boys at nome. IL was
not long after their parents had departed
for Ogden that they found life IN the
staid old village altogether too slow, and
began to pine fo- something to break the
monotony- While they. Were ponoerlns
over what was best to do they were
joined by one of The neighbours boys,
which made up quartet that could put
it all over the katZenjammer Kids One
of the four minds originated the idea that
il would be a good proposition to test
the choice wines in the Pettigrew wine
cellar. For be it known there is no bet
ter wine in all of Weber county than
that which is owned by Charles Pettigrew-
The boys had often heard the good people
who had been guests of the Petugrew
home speak of this wine. but they had
never been permitted to taste of it. What
better opportunity could be wished for
than that which was before them? Their
childish minds were soon made up and 10
the cellar they went. They did not figure
on results and they partook freely of the
wine. The first taste seemed good to
them so they took some more and then
some more. Presently the cellar began
TO grow cldse and warm to them and they
hurried up TO the floor above. One by
by one they fell asleep and dreamed the
dreams that come to those who partake
too freely of the flowing bowl
1t was close to o'clock when the Pet
tigrews returned from the city and they
were Mortified to find the four children
sprawled out upon the floor in an un-
conscious condition. They tried to arouse
them. but could not. Then a hurry call
was sent for a physician. DR.. H B.
Forbes from Ogden responded. AT the
same time word of the case was sent to
the sheTiffs office and Sheriff Sebring
sent two of his best deputies to investigate
the case. It was feared that the little fell
lows had been poisoned.
Presently one of the little fellows
showed signs of life and when he got to
the speaking stage again he told a weird
tale of a tall dark man who had come to
the house and told the boys that he pos
sessed a secret. He had a liquid which
if they would partake of they would live
forever. They partOOk and the dark
stranger left the place starting hack to-
ward the mountains from which he
claimed to have come. 1t was to look fO~
this man that the sheriff was appealed to-
Some time later the boy who told this
tale to the excited parents went back to
sleep again. Then some one smelled the
boys breath. A trip to the cellar told
the rest of the story. The sheriff was
called off and the physician worked for
some time to offset the effects of the
wine. He succeeded in bringing them
out of the stupCr and they were put to
bed. The rest of the doings was con-
Quoted by Mr.. Pettigrew later on.

Rebate Form of Contracts.

In connection with the complaint the
Cosmopolitan line submitted copies of the
combines rebate form of contracts. and it
is alleged that these show that shippers
are bribed and squeezed TO compel them
TO submit TO the monopoly. 1t is charged
that the Hamburg American Packet COM
pany's monopoly begins with the state
owned railroads in Germany. which give
the corporation rebates. and that the com
pany forces all European shippers to sign
an iron-clad contract providing for liberal
rebates in return for exclusive shipments
by its lines. 1t is charged that under the
existing contract which European ship
pers have to sign they must ship every
pound of freight for Boston, New York.
Philadelphia, Baltimore. Norfolk and
Newport News by trust lines. whether
they go through German. Belgian or
Dutch ports or the routing of which can
be in any way controlled by the mer-
chant. Further, it is charged that the
merchant who ships one consignment by
an Independent line cannot ship any at all
by line in the combination.
The complaint on which the inter-s state
commerce commission acted. alleges that
when the Cosmopolitan established its
Philadelphia Copenhagen service last year
the combine demanded its withdrawal
The Cosmopolitan refused and il is de-
clared that an attempt was then made to
drive the line from the field and ii is be
cause of this attempt that an appeal was
made to the interstate commerce commits
sion for an investigation.
