STAINS FACED SITUATION,
Daring Police Officer Hears Burglar
Alarm and Docs His Duty.

Patroman Stains walked his beat on
south Main street last night, keen in
every fiber and sense for the edification
of the law and of which he is a we'll
deserving pillar. He took note Of the
mice that rob the merchants and peeped
into every keyhole and creYice where
law breakers could possibly conceal
themselves. Then he stood upon the
curb IN front OF the Salt Lake Electric
Supply house and gazed with pride up
on the peaceful city around him. What
was that. there Is was again, yes it was
a burglar alarm and 1t was In the cleo
trio supply house. Where duty is con-
cerned Stains is hero. He girded up
his loins, threw out his chest and
grasped his pistol firmly by the rubber
handle. then he approached the build
ing cautiously. on tip toe. and peered
through the keyhole into the blackness.
He could see nothing. still the burglar
alarm continued ringing.
BY this time half dozen honest
citizens were at his back ready to sac
rifice their lives in the cause of justice,
tf the welfare of the community de-
manded it. II was a beautiful moment.
1t was a sublime moment, rs those
brave men stood in before the door
ready to face Whole prigaue OF Ira
cys.
The officer stealthily put his pass
key into the keyhole. unlocked the door
and threw 1t open, Darkness there and
nothing more" but does Stains take
fright at darkness. not so. The crowd
regiment by this time, was strong
at his back and the brave officer led
the way into the blackness, Suddenly
the floor creaked and there was hur-
led exodus for the open But mere
creak is not TO defeat dozen centuries
of civic government. The vigilantes re-
turned and explored the store. They
sought under buckets and up the Chin
ney but nobody was to be found. Yet,
the alarm still rang, then the wind blew
an open window shut and the alarm
ceased.

ACTION IN OTTO MATTER
Is AGAIN HELD UP

William F. smalley. Jr, appeared
before the Street and Sewer Directors
this morning in behalf Of the Otto Gas
Engine Company. to object to the pro-
posed action or the Street and Sewer
Department to replace Canal and
Goodwin streets. now closed for the
company. on the city plan. He con-
tended that it would be to the interests
.of the city as we'll as 10 the company.
to leave the streets in possession OF
the company, inasmuch as neither the
city nor any other industry contem-
plated using them. He reminded the,
directors that there were 1900 feet of
river front that the city did not intend
to use and would probably not spend a
cent on for the next ten years II am
not authorized to give out the Otto
Company's plans" he said. but can
say that II you replace these streets
on the city map 1t will seriously interz
fere with its plans"
II was contended by Directors Gray
and Sparks that the Otto Gas Com
pany had not lived up to the conditions
under which the board took the streets
off the city map for the company, and
that tahe streets could not be rele-
gated to the gas company on hypothe-
ses as to its intentions. A suspicion
that the company was holdins Che
ground for speculative purposes WAS
expressed by irectors Gray and Saprka
To this Mr.. Smalley declared that Of
fers for the land had been refused by
the Otto Company He intmated that
the company would soon erect a build
ing to be the necleus OF others.
President Melvin did not think that
the city's interests suffered by leaving
the streets to the company. Mr.. Small
ley urged that the board wait until the
streets were really necessary to the
city before considering the subject
finally s
Il see necessity for the streets every
month" said Mr.. Sparks. e,-s.., al
The matter was laid over until a fu-
ture meeting, The directors, in the
meantime, viii inspect the ground held

New Idea In Lighting.

On exhibition at Lawton's is the
atest nd in lamp lighting. 1t is an
ordinary oil lamp in which burns de-
natured alcohol, and which gives a
pure white light as clear and strong
as gas light. A Welsbach burner is
used, and the saving is much greater
than gas or electricity. Lighting ex-
perts have been experimenting with
denatured alcohol for sometime, and
onl yrecently have they reached any
degree of perfection with god results.
Persons interested may see the lamp
at Lawton's and compare it with a
gas burned as both are kept lighted
for this purpose.
