San Francisco.
WAS STRANDED IN SEATTLE
! SLOWED AWAY IN EFFORT TO
RETURN TO HIS WIFE.

Stranded upon the shoals of adver-
sity, Edward Dillon, formerly one of
the proprfetors of the Vienna cafe, al
South Main street, is now in san
Francisco hospital, where the doctors
are striving to bring back the strength
Slapped by an experience such as Few
men are called upon to endure. Dillon
dropped fainting from starvation in the
streets of San Francisco last Monday.
He had been more than four days with
out food 1t was the elimination of
sad tale. not without its grim lesson.
Nine years ago, Edward Dillon and
George w. Morgan opened the Vienna
cafe. They proSpered. There was eV-
cry indication that the future promised
fortune and substantial places in the
community for both of them. But Dill
Ion, as bright prospects unfolded, dark
ened his hopes with designations. Three
years ago, he sold his interest in the
Vienna to Morgan. At that time, he
had about $50, 900 in cash. This was
a sufficiently comfortable nest egg to
keep him from knowing want for the
rest of his days, yet, through drinking
and gambling, the money was soon
gone.
In the end, Dillon was forced TO re-
turn TO work as a waiter.
Three months ago, he left Salt Lake
to go to Ely, New, to work in a restau-
rant He went from the Nevada camp
to Seattle and there, meeting with bad
luck in finding employment, he made up
his mind to return to his wife and fam-
ily here Mrs. Dillon lives at 7S6 South
West Temple street. 1t is said that she
has preserved some small fragments
from the wreck of Dillon's fortune.
Dillon, being without money, was
compelled to steal aboard ship bound
/ for San Francisco. He made the trip as
a. stowaway in the hold of the vessel
For four days and four nights he was
without food or water. Then, faint and
starving, he crept again into the day
light when the ship tied up at one OF
the San Francisco wharves. 1t is said
that hfs mind was unbalanced by his
terrible experience aboard the vessel
and that he wandered about the streets
of San Francisco until he at last
dropped from exhaustion in Precita
avenue, near Folsom street 1t was
found that the man was starving. he
revived when food was given him ana
was able to tell his story.
DilIon's friends will have PIN brought
back to Salt Lake.

"Wednesday, October 2, 1907.

It has been rumored for some time
that the Seaboard trestle, now run
ming through portion of Columbia,
will sooner or later be condemned.
Looking toward this end and with a
view to giving their patrons the very
best and safest service, the road now
proposes, so it is said, to run their
line up this side of the river in Lex
ington county until New Brookland is
reached. They will then build a
bridge over the Congaree and run up
Senate street. At New Brookland a
depot will be erected for the conven-
ienee of those living in and around
Brookland. We would suggest, in
this connection, that the promoters
of the trolley lines join in with the
Seahoard and build a double bridge,
which could be done at great saving
to both companies. In our Judgment
the Seaboard would be wise in carry
ing out the new project. Not only
would their business be largely in
creased, but in time it would prove
less expensive. We hope to see the
change made at no distant day.

the farmers feel good; they will pro-

advertisements just at this season

after hard toillng through the summer,
some times reap harvest. Adver-

and interesting reading matter, for
they are a directory full of informa-

an erroneous impression that few
people seem to entertain in regard
to his grocery business. He desires
to have it understood that ordering
goods from him is buying from a

buying in store is. He says he
collects for the goods sold, retains
his profit and RENTS to the whole

do. This is his only means of a
livelihood and he hopes people will

1t develops that the fool law compel
ling school boards to purchase flags and
put them on school houses, has no pen
atty clause attached to it and few boards
will pay any attention to it. Gov. Hoch
refused to sign this bill but permitted it to
become law without his signature. The
governor said that it is poor way to
instill patriotism in the mind Of the youth
by compelling him to salute flag every
morning. Better devote that time to
teaching him the principles on which the
country was founded and his approach
ing duty as a citizen to make the nation
truly great The school boards that obey
this law will find that it will require flae
