The investigation of the books and

most finished The result likely will
be known in two or three days. The
shortage in the local S funds is believed
to be anywhere from $50 to 5000 The

Lynn s whereabouts still are mys
terry to the members Of local 81, al
though q committee Of four, named for
that purpose, is trying TO locate him
day and night, almost. 1t was said on
Tuesday that he WAS at Pocatello, but
labor men who were in a position to
know said the report was untrue. That
he has left town there is little doubt,
4 prominent labor man said Tuesday
night that he had gone from Sab Lake
in company with an inmate of Com
mercial street resort. Labor men are
free to say that riotous living is the
cause of Lynn S downfall.
He is severely censured by some in
labor circles for his actions. One labor
leader said he frequently had told
Lynn 10 quit his fast life. Lynn's ac
ton in failing to give members proper
credit upon the ledger for dues paid in
is censured severely. What went with
such money is not known but it is sup
posed that Lynn pocketed and spent it
in riotous living. BY his failure TO
credit paid-in dues in the ledger the
families of members passing away
would be kept out of their death bene-
fits.
Lynn has been in Salt Lake about
three years, coming here from Chicago.
From January Of 1906 he was district
council president About three months

BOSTON, July 9-As predicted, cop-
per producers and consumers have
reached basis of agreement and as a
result the price of different grades has
been materially reduced, with resultant
sales running on to millions of pounds.
New prices agreed upon by buyers and
sellers are: Casting, 2lAc; Elcctrolytic.
22c; Calumet and Hccla Lake brand,
23c
at the latter figure Calumet and
Hecla has already sold several million
pounds and is preparing to sell for
domestic consumption covering the next
quarter. United Metals and Phelps,
Dodge g. Co. have reduced price. and
large sales of export electrolytic have
been made for export, Phelps. Dodge
Il Co say: 1.-The reduction to % cents
we believe Will represent the bottom
level. Indications favor an advance
for the next month or two covering
future sales rather than further de
cline. We have received large orders
of copper on the new price basis When
the in-rnsh of new orders is over we
expect the next 10 move toward n high
er level. The metal exchanges whose
prices are considered nominal. as re-
lated to big selling agencies, have made
a sharp reduction on all grades.

Just to show that there arc some bear
stories founded on fact and that old
Brmn still frequents his native haunts
IN the mountains, George O'Ncil drove
down Main street Tuesday noon with a
bYe wild bear Gagged In his wagon. He
had caught the animal IN trap two
weeks ago last Sunday and decided
Tuesday morning to bring his captive
TO the city. The bear is said TO be one
OF the largest of the brown variety ever
seen III this country, and n few of his
whims and caprices indicate that he is
one of the most cunning and ferocious
of the Bruin family.

Bruin doubtless will spend the remain

was removed from the trap two weeks
ago he has been kept in a steel cage
at Mr.. O'Neil's farm. At first he
seemed sullep and discontented and
manifested his dissatisfaction by re-
fusing TO eat, but he has since become
reconciled to his fate and now eats
heartily of almost everything that is
placed within his reach. Indeed, he has
become so voTacious that his greed for
food sometimes gets him into trouble.
One instance IN point. occurred Mon
day while the wagon was halting on

was raised from the cage and it was
