Sudden Death Of c. E. Farnham.

{. f. Farnham, who had been living
since spring with his daughter. Mrs. y.
W. Downing, at the Cottage hotel. died
very suddenly about > O'Clock yesterday
afternoon from a stroke OF apoplexy.
He was just starting from the house To
go to the Smith farm south Of the village.
where he had some stock that he attended
to every night, and had crossed the shed
with a dish OF salt in his hands when he
fell face downward in the shed door.
He was found by Mrs. Downing's little
step-grandson, Richard Whipple, who
ran to the chamber stairs and called her
to come down quickly as something was
the matter with her father. When she
reached the shed, Mr. Farnham was un-
conscious and as she turned him back TO
look at his face, he gasped and expired
before DR.. Russlow could be summoned
from his house adjoining.
He had seemed to be quite as well as
usual during the day, and had spoken to
his daughter only a moment before he
went into the shed. The dread summons
evidently came without an instant's
warning.

GaxsxiIle Power for Liahts.

The White River Electric company has
entered into an arrangement with the
Gaysville Power company whereby the
latter will furnish power for the electric
lights in this village by means OF an
equipment that ensures better lights than
we have ever had with power from the
Bethel company.
The Gaysville concern has a 2S-foot fall
OF water in the White river, producing
500 horsepower, with two engines-one of
200 horsepower and the other OF 300
horsepower. Steam will provide auXili-
ary power for use in times OF low water.
The Gaysville company furnishes day
power for the Woodbury. Granite COM
pany on the hill and the Woodbury. stone
sheds in Bethel, which, however, will not
conflict with the night service for lights
in this place. The engines and two dyna-
mos will be located at the stone sheds in
order to be within easy reach OF coal
when steam is required.
About two miles of poles and wire
bring the Gaysville power from the
granite quarries over Christian hill to a
point near the George Haraden farm,
where the Electric Light company will
connect. The distance being so much
shorter than the nine miles from the
Bethel company's plant, the power will
be correspondingly increased.
The Electric Light company feels con-
fident of being able to give greatly i'm
proved service with the Gaysville power,
with which connection will be made as
soon as it is ready to undertake the cleo
trio light business.

From parental roofs are slipping;
While their households wrapt in sleep.

Deaf to stocking feet's light tripping.
Little brothers with their heads

Like unto the heather raging,
Sob in anger, deeply Stung
At their being thought too young
In such pranks 10 be engaging.
Roaming through the darKsome night
By the jack -O-lanterns' light,
Door bells loudly ringing,
wicked spril es scare folks to death,
While police, all out Of breath,
After them are springing.
Peering in on maiden rites
OF the Halloween, the wights
HOller Fudge and very handy
Swipe the luscious chocolate mess
And become amazing less
Fore the girls eau save the candy.

HARTMAN LINES
INSIST ON CUT
Announce They Will Make
Colonist Rates Despite Atti-
tude of Eastern Roads.

d. S. Spencer, assistant general pas
senger agent of the Oregon Short Line,
received telegram yesterday from D.
e Burley of Chicago advising him that
the colonist rates on the Union Pacific
and allied lines to Pacific coast and
intermOuntain points would be effec-
tive during March and April.
AT a recent meeting of the Trans
continental Passenger association the
eastern railroads represented voted
against low colonist rates in the future.
The Hartman lines took exception to
this action. and served notice on the
association that they intended to es-
tablish the low rates as usual, despite
| the attitude of the association. The
result will probably be that the other
roads will fall into line and that the
4 low rates advocated by the Union Pa
cific will be general.
| The decision is of the utmost impor-
| lance, as the colonist rates on the rail-
roads are regarded as a great stimulus
toward the settlement of the western
| country.

ST. JOE MINING CO. HAS
ANOTHER LEGAL SPASM
Officials Of Concern Defend Darmer
Judgment and Say Unkind Things
About the GareYs.

In lengthy affidavit filed in the dis
trict court yesterday, r. A. Hasbrouck,
w. S. Burton and H. d. Wenger, Off
Gals of the st. Joe Mining company,
defend their action in allowing J. E.
Darmer, as trustee, to secure a default
judgment against the company for
$4,000, and incidentally score E. A.
Walton, Ellen Carey, J. w. Smell.
George Rose, Louise McCarty and H.
o. and W. H. Morgan for their efforts
to obstruct the progress of the COM
pany.
The st. Joe company came into exist
ence in 1897, and since 1901 has been
tied up in the district court with lit
lgauOns almost without number, insti-
tuted by the parties named The lat
est suit was brought by E. A. Walton
in the shape of a petition to intervene
on behalf of a minority of the stock
holders in the judgment for $55, 900 Sc
cured by Darmer and the subsequent
order for the sale of the property. In
his petition Walton alleged gross mis-
management and stated that the notes
on which the judgment was secured
were made in order to pay the large
salaries of the officers.
In their affidavit the officers declare
that Ellen Carey has on several occa-
sions threatened to smash" the COM
pany, that she has endeavored to
blackmail it out of $1,000, and that her
husband, j. E. Carey, has been a part
ner to the scheme. The only interest
Walton has, they say, is some stock he
secured in payment for legal services
rendered the Gareys in their numerous
suits since 1901.
AS result of the agitation the Off
GERS say that the company was Obliged
to borrow the money on which the OAR
mer judgment was secured to pay of
debts and, it is alleged, that unless this
is acknowledged by the courts and the
sale ordered, the property will become
absolutely valueless. Its only saliva
ton now is to have it sold to some
persons who will take an interest in
it

| in Park City yesterday morning on a
charge of carrying concealed weapons.
| The fellow was armed with huge Colts
revolver and carried the instrument OF
destruction down town with him. There
| is an ordinance against such a display
here and as a result the man was taken
before Judge Talon, where he took the
usual time to plead. He is out under $50
bonds. Since the strike began the ut
most caution has been taken by the city
and county authorities to prevent trOu-
BILE. and it has been a remarkably quiet
town for a strike. Such displays, though.
are not the best sort of thing for a con-
dition such as we have here now, hence
the arrest.
James Allen, James Kendall and Roy
Alexander were arrested last evening on
a charge of resisting arrest. Charles
MAR the officer resisted. tried to pre-
vent dog fight of dogs belonging to the
arrested, and after some argument on the
part of the owners of the dogs placed
the men under arrest and was resisted by
the fellows to such an extent that chains
handouts, etc, had to be used The de-
PENDANTS were given hearing in court
this morning, took until Monday at 4
o'clock for trial, and were released on
$35 bail.

the union are to be open and any and all
are permitted to be present at the dis

Woman Seeks the Security of Jail to
Protect Her From
Enemies.

There is another remarkable woman
in the city Jail. seeking the shelter of
the prison from imaginary enemies.
She is Mrs. James Staley of Cam
bridge, Neb.
Yesterday morning she entered Cap
tain Burbidge's office at the police
headquarters, accompanied by her two
little children, and asked TO be kept in
the city prison so that a man, whom
she said was pursuing her. could not
harm her.
She explained that she was on her
way to visit her sister in Pomona, Cal,
but on reaching Salt Lake had become
so terrified that she could not continue
the journey. On reaching the city, she
said she had gone to one of the lead
ing hotels with her children, but that
she would prefer the shelter of the
prison, as il seemed a place of greater
security.
Captain Burbidge decided to let her
remain at the city Jail until her rela-
tiyes can be communicated with.

the case of the government against the
Santa Fe Railro1d company. on trial
for rebating in the federal court here.

Judge Wellborn will announce his de-
cision next Monday. An estimate of
the maximum penalty which may be
imposed is S1,250, 900.
The charge against the Santa Fe was
that it had granted rebates from it's
regular tariff on shipments of lime by
the Grand Canyon Lime &. Cement

which arose during the trial, Judge
WeHborn today laid down a point of
law which held to be one of the most
important which has been enunciated
since the interstate commerce commits
sion was instituted. He said:
81 hold that the acceptance by the
defendant of less sum of money than
that named in its tariff for the trans
portation of the property described in
the indictment, if there has been such
acceptance. was a departure from the
legal rates and that 1t is no justifica-
ton for such departure. nor is it any
defense TO a prosecution thereof that
the. acts of the carrier were done in
compromise of claims or loss of prop
erty in transit"

bank, at 574 South First West
street, entered by daylight burglars
and valuable Silverware stolen. The
thieves were captured.
This is only a partial list of the
recent burglaries and rObberies in
Salt Lake.
The city is infested with pick
pockets, burglars and highwaymen,
whose persistency, daring and au-
dacity are astonishing.
The police are working hard to
run the thieves down and put an
end TO the reign of terror in the
residence districts, where there is
considerable disquietude because of
the frequency of the recent rob-
berries.
Some important arrests have been
made, and the police feel confident
that they will be successful in jail
ing the more active of the rogues
who are now causing them so much
annoyance.
Salt Lake, being the center of
wide district. is the haven of thou
sands of miners and laborers when
they are seeking place in which
to spend money. For this reason,
the city's floating population is al
ways large. And it is this floating
population which makes it so diff
cult for the police to run down
the crooks who invade the city.
The crooks usually seek shelter
in the crowded rooming houses fire.
quented by the wOrkingmen, and
in these teeming hives 1t is difficult
for the police to distinguish be-
tween the honest laborer, who is
here for a good time, and the crook,
who is here to prey upon the public.
About this time of the year the
city is more than usually crowded
with transients. Some men, who
have been working in the west dur
ing the summer, are headed for
their homes in the east. Others,
who have been working west of
here, are bound for California for
the winter. And these two armies
of migrating men meet in Salt
Lake.
1t is a constantly shifting and
changing multitude, and affords
the crooks their opportunity to in
wade the city for pillage.
