BOY SHOOTS PLAYMATE.
Udy Dickerson's Playmate Didn't
Know Rifle Was Loaded.

UTdy DickersOn, 10 years old living with
his parents at 34S West Third South, was
accidentally shot and painfully wounded
in the cheek yesterday by Huko Finke, 10
years old. The boys were playing with a
.22-calibre rifle belonging to the father
of Hugo Finke when the accident &C.
Cured. They did not know the rifle was
loaded and in fun the Finke boy pointed
the gun at his little playmate and pulled
the trigger. The bullet struck the boy
in the cheek and inflicted a painful flesh
wound which will not prove serious. The
wound was dressed by DIR. c. NJ. Bene-
diet who was called 10 a residence in
the neighbOrhOOd
The Imagination of the wounded lad
contributed TO the excitement attendant
on the accident. After his wound had
been dressed, the boy told the people
attending him that he had been pursued
by a bloOdthirsty foreigner who had shot
him. Excitement was aroused and an
investigation by the police resulted. The
facts concerning the shooting were then
learned. Finally the boy admitted that
he had been accidentally shot by his play
mate.

UTAH AILWAY COMPANY
Annual Meeting Revives Interest in
Plan of Burlington to
Enter Salt Lake.

Interest in the plans of the Burlington
railroad to enter Salt Lake was again
stirred yesterday morning by the rather
mysterious demeanOr of those who at
tended the annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Utah Railway company in
the Burlington office. The following di-
rectOrs were chosen for the coming year
Charles Baldwin, r. F. Neslen. John
S. Scott c. J. Sturgis w. p Durkee. H.
ID. Foster and c. ]. Ernest. William r.
Randall of Omaha. auditor of the Bur-
lington railroad, acted as secretary of the
meeting.
The Utah Railway company is con-
trOlled by the Burlington line which pro-
poses, some time in the future, to extend
its road through Emigration canyon into
Salt Lake This plan of the Burlington
has been known for a long time and the
expectation, as each meeting of the Utah
cOmpany'S stockholders approaches, is
that something definite will be an
nounced Nothing of the sort happened
yesterday, although Mr.. Randall and the
other Burlington men who figured in the
stockholders meeting were sufficient
~ mysterious and communicative to
Whet curiosity
The survey of the Utah Railway COM
panys line passes through Emigration
canyon and along Chalk creek into WyO-
ming and across that state to Evanston.
The extension of the Burlington into
Wyoming by the acquisition of feeders,
in the opinion of experienced railroad
men, indicates that the time Will soon
come when the railroad will push on into

COMPELLED TO
LEAVE HIS WORK
Picturesque Character of BOS-
ton Victim of the
White Plague.

Boston, Mass, June 1O-The an
nouncement today that District Attor-
ney John Brown Moran of Suffolk
county was afflicted with tuberculosis
and would be Obliged to leave Boston at
once for the Adirondacks for an indef-
mite period, marks a halting place in
the career of one of the most pictur-
esque characters in the commonwealth
True to his sobriquet, the man who
dares," the district attorney is not at
all cast down by the verdict of his
physicians against him.
Cinch on the Bugs"
MY physician tells me I've got to
destroy the tuberculosis bugs or they
will destroy me-" said Mr.. Moran to-
night. ITS tough news, but L told
my physician that the germs might get
the best of me for a while possibly, but
viii get the best of them in the end
for after I'm dead I'll have my body
cremated and burn them alive. Ny
physician said I had the proper spirit
and a man who could joke on such
subject could recover with the proper
open air treatment"
Wants to Be Governor.
The district attorney went on:
IF 1 can I'm going to come back to
Massachusetts, and be governor of this
state yet. If it were not for these bugs
I should have tried it this fall, even if
l did not have any voice. What's more
after l get to be governor, if / do. if
any one wants me to be vice president
I'll be that, too"
By his indOmitable will John B. Nor
an forced himself into the public eye as
few other men have done in this state
He has been elected district attorney
twice as an Independent. and in 1906
ran for governor on four tickets

Much of il may be attributed to a dis

only Few are given here. as delicacy

PICKS BRYAN FOR
NEXT PRESIDENT
William M. ROyIance Returns
From East Confident of
NebraSkan'S Success.

William NJ. Roylance of Provo has re-
turned from a three weeks visit to the
east convinced that William Jennings
Bryan will be the next president of the
nation He believes that the Republicans
VIII nominate Taft and the Democrats
Dr an and that Bryan will win. He does
NOT think much of the talk in favor of
HoNefnor johnson of Minnesota. Even
II Johnscns state, he says. the senti-
ment IS strongly in favor of Bryan.
Mr.. Roylance intends TO exert himself
az the Democratic convention here on
FRIDAY 10 have resolutions passed favor
ing Bryan He Will also endeavor to
nave the Utah delegation to the Demo-
Bryan. .
While in Denver Mr.. Roylance called at
the Democratic headquarters and met for
ihef Governor Osborn of Wyoming, who
IS IN charge there. Governor Osborn took
MIN through the convention hall, which
IS nearly completed. Mr.. Roylance saws
that the hall is magnificent place for
national convention and that it has d
seating capacity of 1900.
Governor Osborn, he SAYS, strongly
urged that Utah send an instructed dele
cation for Bryan
Explaining his reasons for believing that
Bryan will be elected this fall, Mr.. Roy
lance says that the Republican party is
not united in the matter of Choosing
President RoOseYelt's favOrite as the Re-
publican candidate. There are, he saws
many reasons for this. Mr.. 'Taft's atti-
tude on the labor question, he says, will
cause him to lose many Republican votes.
In addition TO this, he says, the colored
vote VIII not be cast for him and his
speech against Grant will cause him to
lose thousands of @. A. r. votes
On the other hand, he says, Democracy
IS solid for Bryan, who will also have
the support of the Republicans who will
not vote for Taft
Mr.. ROylance says that business in the
east is quiet, but that conditions are stead
lily improving.

JURY WILL HAVE
ALL THE FACTS
Also the Fiction in the Case of
Ferris, Accused of
Train WreCking.
CONFESSION IN EVIDENCE
MOTHER AND SISTER OF DE-
PENDANT ON STAND.

Butte, Mont. June 1O-Mrs. Mar
gharita Ferrari. mother of Louis Fer
ris, today testified in the Ferris dy
namiting case that she had heard
Archie Reynolds, the detective, offer
her son A" a fine position" if he would
confess the Burlington outrage. A sis
ter to Ferris swore to the same inter-
view yesterday. Both women said
that Ferris, who is weak-minded, was
told that if he confessed the detectives
would clear him and get him job
driving a wagon.
Ferris himself took the stand this
afternoon He denied absolutely any
knowledge of the wreck, and declared
that he had confessed only because
the railway detectives told him he
would be acquitted and given a fine
position; that they had TO arrest some
body, and that he would be the gamer
by the deceit. Ferris thus cOrroborat-
ed his mother and sister.
Confession Admitted.
As court adjourned this afternoon,
Judge DOnlan ruled to admit in evil
dence the confession of Lewis Ferris,
in which he tells about the dynamiting
of the Burlington train on the night
of the 1st of May the resulting wreck
causing the death of three men. For
two days OF the trial preliminary tes-
timony has been taken regarding the
admissibility of the confession, and
this morning the defense introduced
their testimony in rebuttal of the
state. including the testimony of Fer
ris himself, his mother and sister, and
