HENRY LEE MUST GO TO JAIL
Wife's Effort to Secure His Release
Results in Failure at
the End.

Mrs. Lottie Lee. wife of Henry Lee,
created a scene in the police court yes
terday morning, when her husband whose
arrest for assault and battery she caused
and for whom she later hired an attor-
ney, was sentenced to serve ninety days
in the city jail or pay a $50 fine. She
screamed and shouted, and when her hus-
band was led off to Jail she fell in
faint.
The sentence was imposed by the court
over the prOtestatiOns of the wife, who
tearfully pleaded on the witness stand
for his release, claiming that he was JUS
titled in beating her and that it would
be impossible for her to exist without
his aid. 1t was fully five minutes before
the woman restrained herself. During
this time she pleaded with Chief Brown
ing for her husbands release. She also
appealed TO Mayor Brewer who happened
to be present for pardon, but he would
not interfere.
The case was unusual. Mrs Lee ap-
peared at the police station one day last
week seeking protection from her hus-
band. who. she claimed, had struck her
and treated her cruelty. She was advised
TO swear 10 a complaint, and this she
did. The following day Lee entered
plea of not guilty and the case was con-
tinued.
The next morning Mrs. Lee failed to
appear in court &c testify against her hus-
band and a subpoena was issued to Sc
cure her presence. In the meantime she
had employed an attorney to secure free
doom for the man whose arrest she
caused. On Friday Mrs. Lee appeared
at police headquarters and demanded that
her husband be released for Decoration
dag.
In pronOuncing sentence, the court said
that he believed Mrs. Lee deserved the
treatment she received, but said that
the court could not justify a man for
striking a woman, and then pronounced
the ninety-day sentence

TO REDUCE THE INSURANCE
Carl Scheid Writes Ogden Council
Telling How Rates May
BE Lessened

Much of last nights session of the city
council was consumed in a wrangle over
three blocks of sidewalk paving on
Charles avenue. The question was brought
before the council by a report that the
city had gained jurisdiction. Councilman
Austin sought TO have action deferred
thirty days to enable property owners to
have walks put down under private con-
tract After much discussion and a mo-
ton 10 instruct the city engineer to adj
Vertse for bids had been adopted Austin
gained his point by resolution.
Carl Scheid of the board OF fire under
writer's submitted a lengthy letter on the
subject of a reduction of the present fire
insurance rates in Ogden. His recOmmen-
datiOns numbered seventeen, including
condemnation of the narrow alleys, sys-
tenn of electric wiring, and absence of fire
MIGRANTS from business blocks. He urged
municipal ownership of the waterworks
system and the maintaining of from 50
to Zoe pounds pressure at all times. He
also advocated the building of q new res
erVolr, the placing of two fire hydrants
in the center of business blocks; addi-
tional hydrants throughout the city; in
creasing OF the department and number
OF fire alarm boxes; preventing the build
ing of shacks and the placing of all wires
underground. To bring about a better
ment of conditions he offered the services
of his office. The communication was re-
ferred TO the fire. buildings and grounds
and new ordinance committees.
The question of granting a liquor IL
cense to Glenwood park. laid over from
the last meeting, caused additional dis
cussion in which the manner in which the
sale of liquor was conducted last year
was described as a disgrace. The license
was granted, however, with the proviso
that the sale of liquor be confined to the
saloon and beer garden.
The resignation of Joseph S. Peery as
d member of the library board was re-
ceived and accepted. Mr.. Peery gave
pressing business as a reason for his &C
ton. No successor was named.
Payrolls amounting to 81, 1852 were al
lowed.

TUNNEL CAVES IN.
Rio Grande Trains Are Delayed Near
Park City.

Owing to a cavern at the Rio Grande
tunnel on the summit near Park City,
passengers who left Park City for Salt
Lake on the 3:45 o'clock train yesterday
afternoon did not reach this city until
1880 o'clock last night. There were about
thirty persons aboard the train. When
the tunnel was reached il was discovered
that about eighteen feet of the roof had
caved in. The trouble was attributed TO
the bad condition of the ground due to
the recent rains.
Word was sent 10 Salt Lake and an
engine and coach were sent from here to
bring in the Park City passengers.
The passengers. being unable TO go
through the tunnel. walked over the sum-
nit and boarded the coach. which was
waiting for them on the other side.
Their baggage will have to remain be-
hind until the tunnel is repaired.
Gangs of labOrers are now busted with

campaign fund in Nebraska in 1904 by
Thomas F. Ryan, through w. F. Shee-
han, was received and disbursed by
him. He said he wrote TO Sheehan i'm
mediately after the Democratic state
convention that there was no hope of
carrying the state for Parker, but in
October he sent T. S. Allen to New
York to secure money for use in an at
tempt to elect G. w. Berge governor.
Said Mr.. Dahlman:
We got $1,000, not 10000 in three
payments, and it was turned over to
me and l spent it all in the state cam
paign, not one penny of it going into
the national campaign or to Mr.. Bryan.
The money did good, and while Roose-
welt carried the state by something like
$4,000 majority. Berge lost il by less
than 10000 votes. If we had had SIS, 900
more we would have carried the state
for Berge.
Il think that is all there is to say
about these tTumped-up charges of the
New York paper. Mr.. Bryan never saw
the money. never knew of it: l got it
all and spent il all. 1t came from the
national committee. whether from
Sheehan or Ryan, l don't know and
don't care. and no money was used to
influence Bryan, as he worked for Par
ker from the very start"
New York. June Thomas F. Ryan,
in an interview today, declined to dis
cuss the report that he had contrib
uted to the Nebraska Democratic fund
to elect William ]. Bryan as United
States senator in 1904. He said he was
not going TO the Democratic national
convention in Denver nor should he be
in that city at the time of the con-
VentiOn.
