Not only relatives and friends in Dick
inson but many passengers on the ILL
fated North Coast Limited, wrecked near
Glendive August 10, whose lives he
saved, have anxiously watched the brave
struggle for life being made by Engineer
Cal Litch, whose picture appears with
this article.
Mr.. Litch was courageous and hopeful
from the first and this condition of mind
greatly aided his recovery. A week
after the disaster, he was removed to his
home in Dickinson, where he has rapidly
improved in the two weeks, although
suffering intensely and in pitiable con-
dition. 1t was this week decided .neces-
sary to graft skin in order that the
terrible burns may heal and on Thursday
he was taken to the Brainerd hospital,
Mrs. Litch, the trained nurse from
Brainerd and his physician, DR.. Stickney
accompanying him, the latter at his
special request. At Brainerd it is hoped
his recovery, SO we'll begun, may be
speedy and sure.
Engineer c. D. Itch has been rail
reading on this division of the Northern
Pacific for % years, and for the past few
years has had the responsible position o.
passenger engineer. His record j,
splendid and he is looked upon as one o.
the best men in the service.

WATER SYSTEM

City Fathers Vote to Complete
System this Fall. Additional
Cost est m ated at S12,665.
Work to be started Immediate
ly and Rushed to Completion.
The city council met in special session
at the city hall Saturday evening, August
20. Mayor Frye was in the chair and
announced that the meeting was called
for the purpose of hearing the report Of
Supt. Littlehales and to take some de-
finite action in regard to the purchasing
of machinery and material for the COM
pletion of the water works system.
Several new wells have been sunk
northeast of the tower and Supt. Little
hales reported that the wells now opened
would be equal to 10000 gallons per
day and the reservoir 10000 gallons
more, and he advised the purchase of
machinery with capacity sufficient to
raise 100000 gallons of water per day
from wells. He also advised the in
stallation of both steam and electric
power. Electricity is much the cheaper
power but one system is not safe where
so many people are concerned.
The water from the new wells has
been tested and proves to be far better
than most of the water throughout the
state. The poorest test is better than
the water used in Fargo. The amount
of water used in the city at the present
time, (from the city plant) is about 10000
gallons, but it will take about three times
that amount to make the city fathers and
superintendent rest easy.
Supt. Littlehales estimates the entire
cost of machinery, piping, power house
and all material, and labor necessary for
the completion Of the system at sI2.165
with $500 to add for the purchase of 4
acres of land. The reservoir is to be Is
feet deep and 80 feet in diameter and
the power house 4ox5l feet, I.story, both
to be made of brick.
R. d. Whitaker Of Whitaker & Co.
of St. Paul attended the meeting and
submitted bid for machinery for the
plant for the sum Of ss.375. which IS
very near the estimate made by Mr..
Littlehales.
After looking over the plans very care
fully, and knowing that something must
be done at once. the motion was made
that the purchaoing committee, in COM
pany with Supt. Littlehales, 60 ahead
with the purchase Of the machinery and
material, let contracts for the reservoir
and power house and attend to all bus
mess necessary for the completion of the
waterworks system. The motion was
carried by unanimous vote. /.
Supt. Littlehales urged that every
thing be rushed so that there would be
no possible chance of having the work
held up on account Of cold weather
This was the sentiment Of the council
and the meeting adjourned.

TWO FUCITIVES LURED BACK BY WOMEN
NOW LANGUISH BEHIND PRISON BARS

James Crow and Floyd Blakeley are
sadder and wiser than they were. Both
have been lured into barred cells
through love of wicked women.
Crow, escaped from the city prison a
year ago, came back to Salt Lake,
fearing that while he was in hiding a
rival might win the affections of his
sweetheart, and was captured by
Mounted Policeman Heath.
Blakeley, who deserted from the
United States army. was captured and
escaped after being sentenced by
court-martial, was also held by his
infatuatiOn to the vicinity of Salt
Lake, and, like Crow, was seized while
he was a-wooing, and must spend four
years in a military prison.
Crow is 26 years old. A year ago, to
raise funds with which to buy candy
and theatre tickets for his affinity and
to avoid the iTksome necessity of
working for the money, he stole some
copper wire from the Rocky Mountain
Bell Telephone cOmpanp. For this Of
Tense he was sentenced to forty days
in Jail.
For nine days he languished there,
his heart consumed with anxiety con-
corning the activities of the rival
whom he had reasons to suspect. On
the ninth day he was taken out to the
fair grounds and set TO work painting
some of the city sprinkling carts. He
seemed so absorbed in his work that
his guards relaxed their vigilance. not
suspecting that as the day wore away
Crow was plotting escape and think
ing of d fair aCharmer who lived in
Franklin avenue. Selling an oppor-
tunity, Crow hid in one of the box
stalls, from which he could watch the
movements of the guards as they
searched for him. Then. as they start
ed for the gate, he cTawled through the
fence and found a secure hiding place
When he reached Franklin avenue he
found that his sweetheart had gone to
Nevada. He followed. He found work
as a teamster in the camp in which she
had taken up her abode, and for
months Crow was. happy. Then the
girl, for whose sake he had gotten into

STEALS Mink BOA TO
STOP PAhGS OF HUNGER
MahOney's Valiant Getaway Spoiled
by Dumping Into Quartet
of Policemen.

After William Mahoney had stolen a
mink boa from in front of the Oriental
bazaar at 40 South Main street, about noon
yesterday, he headed south with the fur
under his coat
He tripped man who ATTEMPTED to
stop him, sending his would-be cantor

er this he knocked down several men
who were in his way. The commotion
IN the street attracted the attention of
detective Janney and Policemen Doty
stains and Roberts, who were walking
northward on the opposite side of the
street They ran across the street to stop
the fugitive. MahOney saw them Just
as Detective Janney reached out his hand
TO seize the man Mahoney lodged and
darted on. only to run squarely against
Policeman DOty, who Rugged him close
and dragged him TO police Headquarters.
Mahoney is a character known to the
police. He has served sentences in the
county jail for larceny. He is suspected
of several other thefts from the Oriental
bazar. He claims that he was hungry
and that, as he would rather steal than
beg, he took the boa intending to dis
pose Of it and relieve his wants.

experienced in injecting the necessary
/ emphasis and eaTnestness into the yell
but Joseph was equal to the occasion
and out of his mind there was evolved
this gem:
who are We? Who are We? Who are
we?
Utah, Utah. UTAH
The girls of Joplin are bound to say
We're the hottest things that ever came
their way
The time that remained before the
train reached Joplin was put in, under
the vigorous direction of Mr.. Joseph, in
practice.
Meanwhile Westerfield was innocent
and ignorant of what was i'm store for
him. When he started to alight with
his numerous grips. Joseph gave the
signal and the terrible din broke loose.
1t is said that all went swimmingly
until the word girls" was reached,
when Dern and the rest baked, but
Joseph went through the lines all the
more fearlessly and fieFcely-he appar-
emily realized that the burden of the
success or failure rested upon his Shout
ders; or, rather, upon his voice, and
they do say the effort was equal to
Joseph's and Joseph was equal to it.
Fortunately for Mr.. Westerfield, he
lodged behind a nearby baggage truck
and in a moment was lost in the crowd.
The effect on the crowd about the sta
ton platform of this vociferous on
slaught was electrical.
What is it?" asked one.
Dunno; crazy, l guess"
"Any danger?"
mo, harmless -
where's that locoed bunch from ?"
These and other remarks of a similar
character followed the train as it pro-
ceeded on its way eastward.
The Herald's informant says Mr..
Westerfield is thoroughly convinced
that, as a send-Off, it was a complete
success, and added materially to Mr..
Josephs peculiar brand of prestige.

| 1t is likely that S. B. Westerfeld o.
this city will not soon forget the send
off he got from a number of his friends
! who formed a party of delegates or
their way TO the recent mining con.
gress at Joplin. The Utah delegates
duly appointed by Governor Cutler, ar
| rived in Denver and there decided to
make the eastbOund trip over the Atch-
ison, Topeka & Santa Fe. 1t SO hap
pened that Mr.. Westerfield was on the

ing unusual occurred, according to the
/ best testimony, until the train was
about three hours from Topeka
| The hour when dinner is uppermost in
the minds of the traveller having ar
rived, Harry Joseph, the recollection of
how he did things in the last legisla-
ture strong upon him, introduced a res
olution, moved its adoption, seconded
the motion and declared it carried to the
effect that John Dern, another of the
party, be honored with the privilege of
not only arranging for the dinner, but
as well have the further privilege of
paying for 1t.

iect to the order of the recipients rath-

one as is usually had for the reason
that it requires a before and after din
ner menu, entailing considerable ex-
pense."
The effect of such a dinner upon Mr.
Joseph was worse than usual.
AS Mr.. Westerfields destination soon
was to be reached, it occurred to the
resourceful Mr.. Joseph that the right
kind of a send-off ought to go with him
when he left the train. Mr.. Joseph laid
the plan before the Utah delegation, and
there being no dissenting voice, O. was
decided to bid Mr.. Westerfield a fond
and affectionate farewell with college

TO BEGIN WORK
ON CAR SHOPS
Vast Improvement Planned by
Company Expected to Be
Under Way Monday.
CALLS FOR IMMENSE TOTAL
MORE THAN 100000 TO BE Elk.
PENDED.

II Is announced that work on the new
81 shops and car barns of the Utah Light
az Hallway company will begin Monday,
IN a preliminary way, at least. The
plans for this vast improvement are
now under consideration by w. II. Ban
croft, president of the company, and
his approval viii be announced today or
tomorrow. The shops and barns call
Tor an expenditure of approximately
$3.50, 900.
The location of the new shops and
barns will be on the old fair grounds
square, between Fifth South and Sixth
South streets, on Sixth East street.
This property was acquired by the COM
pany at a cost of $50, 600 ID is said. The
first work TO be done will be the cree
ton of a fence around the premises
and the running of spur tracks into the
square, 10 be used in handling material.
Tracklaying will begin first at the east
end of the grounds, where a system will
be installed to connect the interior of
the grounds with the lines Of the COM
pauy. A spur connection will be also
made from near Sixth South street and
two other entrances on the north side
are contemplated.
Ample material with which to make
beginning is already at hand, and its
transportation To the site of the new
shops has been simplified, now that an
adjustment of the differences between
the city council and the company has
been brought about with reference to
hauling freight cars from the depOts.
1t is believed that the quantity to be
transported by team will be small
1t is said that, in the construction
work, married men will be given the
preference and that much of the labor
necessary viii be furnished by the Salt
Lake Charity association, which has a
register of applicants seeking employ
ment.
