REcoUNTs TERRIBLE STRUGGLE.
Famous Ogden Murder Case is Again
BROUGHT to LIGHT.

Ogden, Utah.-Two women crouch
ing in an upper room, terror-Strlcken,
listening to the means of a dying man
and the crashes and blows from his
enraged assailant in the room below,
futile calls for the police, who could
not be found; snatches of heated ar
guments that came through clinched
teeth and from dying lips during the
intermiSsionS in the terrific struggle;
| finally the resoundlng cracks of metal
| against human flesh and the dull thud
of a human form as it fell beaten
and battered close to death-these
are some of the pictures called up
by Mrs. Gertrude Hull as she told
the graphic story of the battle be-
tween Fred C. Walker and DR.. Earl
S. Beers in the back room OF the
Electrical Supply and Fixture Com
pany's store in Ogden, September
18th
Mrs. Hull didn't see the struggle.
but its swift action came to her
through a floor and partition. Her
story was the star feature of the
prosecution, and as she told it it will
live through all the criminal annals
of the West as one of the most
graphic portrayals ever heard upon
the witness stand.
The whole testimony did not in
any way implicate Lawrence in the
murder of Beers. although the evil
dence showed that he offered little
resistance to the murderous assault
of Walker on Beers.
When the defense moved, at the
close of IA disastrous day. that the
court dismiss the charge against Law
renee because of the fact that no evil
dence had been adduced against him,
Judge Murphy said he would not take
the trouble to hear the plea and over
ruled the motion.

Railroad Thieves Get Big Loot.

Denver.-Thieves are said to have
stolen merchandise from the Burling-
ton railroad between Denver and Chi
cago during the past year amounting
to over 100000.
The company has discovered an or
ganized gang CT Italians engaged in
the pilfering and has discharged 300 Of
them.
The big conspiracy was unearthed
only after months of continuous work,
by the best secret service men in the
country. 1t is believed the operations
of the gang have extended to other
roads.
Secret service men in the employ of
the Burlington railroad after months
of work have succeeded in ferreting out
the system by which that company has
been continually robbed during the
past year. over 300 Italian laborers
engaged in track work between Denver
and Chicago have been discovered to
belong to a gang which had perfected
n system for stealing merchandise
from the freight trains on that road
and it is said the gang had succeeded
in stealing over 100000 worth of mer-
chandise during the past year. Sufli-
cient evidence could not be obtained
against the men to convict and the
company took the next best step to pI D.
lect itself and discharged these men.

LEFT IN POLAR SEAS.
Searchers For Land in the Far North
Are Frozen in for Winter.

San Francisco.-Out of the frozen
north comes the first story of the Mix
kelsen expedition that went into the
Arctic on the vessel Duchess of Bed.
ford, searching for land that eminent
scientists had reason to believe eX-
listed ia. to the northward of Alaska,
far into the painless regions that
reach into Beaufort sea. where no sci
entific expedition before traversed
the white seas, and only an occa-
sional whaler, Injured to the dangers
of the north and intrepid through
sheer recklesSness of his Isolated po'
sition, sometimes shaped his course.
But even though some of the men
come back to civilization, there re-
main in the distant land of ice Capt.
Ejar Mikkelsen, the head of the party,
and Ernest De Koven Leftingwell,
scientist and former traveller of the
Arctic ocean.
1t is within the possibilities that
Capt Mikkelsen and Mr.. Lefhngwell
may yet distinguish themselves by
their scientific labors. Already shut
in from escape from the Arctic this
season, they are housed in quarters
on FlaXman island. which lies to the
north of Alaska and midway between
Point barrow and Demarkation point.
DIR. George P. Howe of Lawrence,
Massachusetts, who was surgeon OF
the expedition, headed the little party
that returned direct from this out-ot-
the-way Flaxman island. He says:
1.-The expedition was organized to
go in search of land that was be-
tot in, pnntlfprt To the
westward of Banks land. The theory
that land lay there was based on tidal
observations and deductions made by
DIR. Harris of the coast and geodetic
survey. He had come to the firm con
clusion that land existed there.
I'VE put in at Flaxman island to
prepare winter quarters. Capt. Mix
kelsen was opposed to losing any I'M
necessary time at the island and he
and Professor Leiiingwell soon struck
out over the ice. eager to pursue their
Investigations to the end.
| From their accounts when they
came back / judged that they must
have had a terribly hard journey over
the boundless seas of broken and
shifting ice, but they would not go
| into details.
"They struck out for Beaufort sea
over ice broken and hard to encom-
pass. and succeeded in reaching the
longitude of Cross island. or about
seventy-two degrees and twenty min
utes west. Here they eagerly sought
to find tracts Of land and took extern
| Sive soundings.
ITO their dismay, however, the blue
water had no limit. Hundreds of
fathoms of the sounding wire carried
were dropped into the sea and stu
no bottom and no sign of anything i.
all that stretch of barrenness bu,
blue sea and gray sky.
During the absence of Capt Mix
| kelsen and Professor Lefiingwell the
schooner went to pieces and our party
made its way back"

A Responsible Citizen,


The story was told in the Youths
Companion some time ago of mem
Der of school city" In Chicago who
defeated his teacher in debate on the
question of war, which. the boy main
tained is forbidden by the ten COM
mandments and is always wrong. Now
comes from Philadelphia the story o,
a girl who was also admitted to citi-
Zenship in such an organization. and
who upset promptly all the expecta-
lions of the schoolmistress. Every
teacher who had ever struggled over
her admitted that Marie Parola was n
torment and plague. There were 500
other girls in the same building with
her, but Marie held all records as
truant, slattern and mischief-maker.
This is the way she appeared to her
teachers, but she must have had good
qualities which were apparent to her
fellow pupils. although not to the
teachers. With the girls of her class
Marie was almost universally ia
'otitS. AieSi Il tiiie SShooi lily
was organized among the pupils, and
to the disgust of the teacher. Marie
was elected almost unanimously as
delegate to the common council from
her room what shall l do?" her
teacher asked of the other school
ma'ams." wait and see," they coun-
seled. Perhaps she will be afraid to
come any more" But the next morn
ing Marie was on hand bright and
early. attired as for ball When the
teacher arrived Marie greeted her gra,
ciously. Soon there entered a pupil
as tousled and dirty as Marie had
usually been. The new councilman
led her aside and laid down the law
to her. I'VE are citizens now" she
said. you don't want to do this way
any more" Another girl who came
late was also taken in hand and dis
ciplined by the councilman" Two
years later the teacher who had beer
so angry when Marie was elected tc
the council admitted that there hat
never been in the school another in
fluence SO sweet, SO great and so clean
as Maries. 1t is often so in life out
side the schoolroom. Responsibility
sobers and exalts and brings Out
qualities the possession of which had
not been suspected.

Country life has taught us much,
but 1t has not yet made walkers of us.
Physicians testify that no exercise is
SO generally beneficial as walking.
Every naturalist, or nature lover. will
tell you that no other means is so
good for knowing the country: every
walker proclaims that no other pur-
suit gives so much pleasure. Still,
writes Ella NJ. Bault in the Independ-
ent, no one walks. Men walk no
more than women. We are so prone
to initiate our English cousins. why
does their love of walking not arouse
us to emulation? Conscience, fashion
or inclination impel us to ride, drive,
row, swim, fish, hunt, golf, play ten
mis-; we even chop trees and saw wood
for exercise if we are strenuous and
incline to the simple life, to say moth
ing of making gardens; we own and
drive airships, automobiles and motor
cars of all descriptions, but we do not,
will not, and. in fact, cannot walk.

1t has been suggested that towns
lying along the line of the railroads
put up bulletins at the railroad sta.
tons setting forth the attractions of
the towns, and their claim on the in
terest of the travelling public. If the
bulletins are not so ugly as to disfig-
ure the landscape they will serve a
useful purpose; but when the only
bulletin IN sight has been a small, we'll

many travellers have had their curiosi-

of the town and its leading industries,

of thrift and good taste made upon
them. Those village improvement as
socistions which do not know where
to begin their work might do much
worse than to start with the railroad

eIoodless Battle at Loveland.

Loveland, Colo.-A desperate run
ming battle was fought on West Third
street between Charles Crutcher and
Two unknown providers, whom he had
caught trying to effect an entrance
into his home. That no blood was
shed is not the fault Of either of the
participants in the three-cornered
duel.
A bullet passed through the sleeve
of Crutcher's coat. and, according to
his story, several others whlzzed by
within a few inches of his head.
Nearly dozen shots were fired.
Crutcher believes that one of the bur-
glars was hit, but he did not stop
and no traces of blood can be found
in the vicinity.
The entire neighborhood was
aroused by the shooting and several
neighbors armed with guns, Joined
Crutcher in hunt for the thieves.
No traces of them could be found,
however On account of the night be-
ing unusually dark, Crutchcr did not
get a good look at the men and can
furnish only vague description. He
was returning home from town when
he encountered the burglars
For the last three weeks northern
Colorado towns have been troubled
by well organized gang of thieves.
Several holdups and house breaks
have occurred in this vicinity during
the last few days and 1t is thought
that the men trying to enter
Crutcher's house are members of this
gang.

Pioneer Scout Lives in Poverty.
Not far from Golden, on the banks
of small stream which finds its way
from the foothills into the plains,
there lives a man, ]. NJ. Young by
name, who, though now living alone
in a tumbledown shack and existing
through the few dollars q month
which the county allots him, was once
Jim Baker, Kit Carson and Others OF
the old-timers, some of whom became
wealthy and lost their fortune as soon
as it was acquired. while others took
care of their wealth and became dis
tinguished citizens of the state.
Young is a familiar figure about the
streets OF Golden, riding iii his small
cart hauled by an old-tino donkey.
and most of the citizens know of his
reputation as pioneer, but few OK
cept the small boys of the neighbour
hood are acquainted with his history
in connection with the other path
finders of the state. He accompanied
Bridger on his famous trip when the
latter first pointed out to the FIRE
mont party plausible path fer a rail
road across the Rocky mountains. TO.
gether with Baker and Bridger he was
one of a party which was among the
first to make the discovery of gold in
Cherry creek
All three of them made fortunes, all
three of them lost them within the

More Dirt Moved Than in Panama.

More Dirt Moved Than in Panama.
Denver.-For those who have paid
little attention TO the fact that the
Western Pacific, the last link in the
Gould trans-continental railway sys-
ten, is actually under construction
from Salt Lake City to San Francisco,
it may be educational TO learn that
each month the wcrkmen who are pre-
pairing the road bed for this new line
shift more earth than is being re-
moved at the Panama canal Western
Pacific officials are responsible for the
statement that the company is exca-
waiting more dirt and rock along the
route in California and Nevada every
month than Is the case on the Pan
company excavated 1,372.S31 cubic
yards, while the Panama canal report
for the same mouth shows 1,04S,77e
cubic yards. In August the Panama
canal contractors eXcavated 1.274,444
cubic yards. The work on the rail
road fof that time. the officials state,
will amount to fully 1,524,0U0 cubic
yards.
The Western Pacific Railroad Com
pany is huge concern. The chief
engineer stated recently that S,29S
men are employed and that 1000 more
are needed. The monthly expenses
are 100000 and track laying is pro-
crossing at three different points.
