FIRST STEPS IN
WILL CONTEST
Proceedings Will Be Started
Monday in Behalf of Mrs.
BradIey'S Children.

Announcement was made yesterday
that on Monday the first steps in the
contest Of the will of the late ex-Sen-
ator Arthur Brown will be taken. The
law firm of Powers & Marioneaux will
file a petition in the district court ask
ing that Mrs. NJ. NJ. Madison, mother
Of Mrs. Annie NJ. Bradley, be appointed

are Arthur Brown and Montgomery
Brown Bradley. There will be no OPP
position to the appointment of Mrs.
Madison as guardian of the children.
Following her appointment. the for
NAL action for the breaking of the will
will be instituted. 1t will be alleged in
the complaint that at the time the will
disheriting the children of Mrs. Brad
ley was made. Senator Brown was not
of sound mind and that he was labor
ing under a delusion regarding the
children. 1t will be alleged that his
mind was weakened by the lOng-con-
tinued and excessive use of intoXicants
and that undue influence was used by
parties in interest.
The direct heirs of Senator Brown
under the will are his son and daugh-
ter, Max and Alice.

WOODMEN OF THE WORLD ENTERTAIN
400 YOUNGSTERS AT CHRISTMAS TREE

Four hundred children and two hun
dred fathers and mothers enjoyed to the
limit the Christmas tree gathering at
the Eagles hall last evening, given by
the members of camp 400, WoOdmen of
the World. Since the dawn of Santa
Claus there were no happier children
than these four hundred.
The entertainment was the third an
nual affair of its kind of the camp and
was easily the most successful one held.
In the center of the large hall was the
Christmas tree loaded with fruits and
candies for the youngsters. Hundreds
of tiny, many-colored incandescent
lights took the place of the Christmas
candles in Illuminating the tree. Christ
mas bells hung from the boughs and
holly berries showed from amidst the
green of the tree. FestoOned from the
sides and corners of the room to the
tree were bright-colored scrolls of pa
per. The walls were hung with
wreaths of holly and Christmas bells.
AS the children entered the room,
they were given numbered tickets
which entitled them to presents from
the booths about the room. Before the
appearance of Santa Claus, the children
were entertained by a short program.
w A Blair Richardson made a Punch
and Judy decidedly interesting through
his powers of ventriloquism; Sidney
Chalker gave several clever imperson-

atoms and J. r. Furer sang several
delightful yodeling carols.
Then came the exciting moment. San
ia Claus condescended to come a few
days ahead Of time and attend in per-
son the Christmas celebration of the
little children. Amid subdued excite
ment, the merry gentleman from the
Arctic regions dashed in and with a
merry Christmas for all the boys and
girls distributed the presents.
There were a few skeptics among the
children who declared that Santa Claus
was not Santa Claus at all, but Sid
Clawson, cleverly disguised, but the
large majority knew better and the
irreverence of the few was frOWned
down upon. One mysterious package
was addressed to the smallest baby in
the hall. Ordinarily in such a gather
ing the task of selecting the smallest
child would have been difficult, but
on this occasion Santa Claus unhesitat-
ingly awarded the present to Farley P.
Christensen. It proved to be a baby
comfort
The committee of the camp having
charge of the affair consisted of T. z.
Newman. Lester Worthen, W. Lake,
Harry Clark. Ed. Sloan. John L. Robin
son, James Lawson, H. X. Russell R.
Sterrett, Samuel Brown and c. w.
Bowdell. At the close of the evening S
entertainment the Christmas tree was
ratified. It was won by Lester Worthen.

CONDUCTS HIS OWN CASE
Man Accused of Robbing Saloon
Makes Clever Plea in His
Own Defense.

When George R. Elliott, alleged sa-
loon robber, was arraigned in the police
court yesterday morning and given a
hearing, he conducted his own case, dis
playing considerable knowledge of the
law and adroitness in presenting the
facts which favored the defense.
He was accused of having robbed the
Court saloon in South State street on
December I. He was arrested by Po-
liceman J, NJ. Lyon. The policeman
entered the saloon while the robber
was at work. The man escaped, after
Lyon had fired several shots at him.
Elliot entered the place a short time
after the robber disappeared. He was
arrested, Policeman Lyon declaring that
he was the thief.
Elliott produced witnesses who teSti-
fed that he was drinking in another
saloon at the time of the robbery and
that he had gone to the Court saloon
after he had been told of the affair.
Elliott then argued his own case.
"Give me a square DEAL" he said.
eff 1 robbed the Court saloon, would l
have been fool enough to go back to the
place and run into the arms of the pO-
Hceman who had seen me? That would
have been absurd. The man who robbed
the saloon must have been sober. I was
drunk. Witnesses have testified that
was drinking. Could a drunken man
have escaped from the aSloon as swift
ly as the real robber did,
Judge Diehl viii decide the case on
Monday morning.

REDUCE RATES
Of INSURANCE
Mayor BranSford Secures for
Salt Lake Concession
From Underwriters.

A material reduction in insurance rates
for Salt Lake has been promised Mayor
John S. Bransford by the San Francisco
underwriters
Mayor Bransford returned yesterday
from trip to the California metropolis,
where he was in consultation for several
days with the leading insurance men on
the question of rate reduction.
In speaking of the situation he said
that the reduction will probably take eff
feet the first of the year.
The completion of the new water sup

ing made. After the main was officially
tested and found to be in good working
order on Dec. 9 the mayor conceived the
idea that it would be the logical time
to take up the rate reduction question,
and would have gone west at once, but
was delayed a week.
What the reduction will be has not been
definitely ascertained, but il is thought
that it will vary from Is to 30 per cent, &C
cording to location. The new mains tap
the center of the business district and
with a possible pressure of 200 pounds and
with an unlimited supply of water the
danger of fire will be diminished con-
siderably.
The new main was planned with the Big
Cottonwood conduit by former Mayor
Richard P Norris and its completion
marks the last step in the magnificent
water supply system which he planned for

A dark-hued night prowler kept Pc
lfceman Riley, newly appointed and
full of zeal, IN a fever heat of excite
ment during several epoch-making mo-
ments on Thursday night. According
to the story told. Policeman Riley was
passing the Wellington hotel, opposite
the Oregon Short Line depot. when the
hotel porter ran out and informed him
that some miScreant had attempted to
force open the kitchen door
Full of hope that kindly fate had
thrown in his way an opportunity to
capture Sullivan and win enduring
fame as a bandit grabber, Policeman
Riley uDtoed to the rear of the Well
ington. In the darkness he heard
something moving toward a passenger
coach in the yards of the Lagoon line,
back of the hotel. This was followed
by scuffling sound, which, to the po-
licemanS listening ears, reSembled a
stealthy tread upon the platform steps
of the car Convinced that a thief,
possibly Sullivan or his pal, Joe Gar
cha, had taken refuge in the car, Riley
advanced.
Some few feet still remained TO be
traversed ere Riley would reach the
lurking place of the unknown prowler,
when it suddenly occurred to the po-
liceman that ii would be a good idea
to summon assistance.
With this idea in his head, he dis
charged his revolver into the air, one,
two. three, four, five, six-then the
swapping of the trigger upon empty
shells told him that his weapon was
empty, leaving him pOwerless to keep
up the noise.

To the hotel porter, who had brought
up the rear in the advance upon the
Lagoon car. Riley issued hurried or
ders to go for fresh weapon. The
porter was quickly back with loaded
revolver.
Riley used this reinforcement to his
artillery in sending three more bullets
into the air.
The nine shots apparently satisfied
him that the supposed miscreant hid
ing in the car was sufficiently cowed,
for the policeman ceased firing and
ordered a call sent in TO police head
quarters for the patrol wagon. 1t came
in double-quick time with a load of
seasoned veterans of the police ser
vice.

Miss Holland is employed as a waitress
at 5lS West Second South street. she IS
a pretty girl, about II years old.
She left her fathers house about Z 80
O'Clock last night to go TO work. As she
was walking along Seventh South street
she saw a man approaching from the
opposite direction, with his hands cross
ed upon his breast. She gave little
thought to the man until he was very
close. Seeing that he walked in such a
way as to block her progress, she was
about to turn to one side, when he sud

The girl dared not utter sound she

The rObber then seized the girls purse
and told her to move on. She walked
from the man, and then made all haste

disappeared
She furnished the police with a good
description of the highwayman. BE was

pearance of being an American. He wore
a dark coat and light pair of trousers.
A cap, drawn down over his forehead,
partly concealed his features.
