FAMOUS OLD TIMER IS GONE
William F. Carson, Confederate Vet
eran and Stage Driver, Passes
to His Reward.

William F. Carson. veteran confederate
of the civil war and stage driver In the
early days of the west, passed away early
yesterday morning at his home on Read
avenue in this city. He was cousin of
Kit Carson and came west at the close
of the war.
Mr.. Carson was born in Kentucky SIS
years ago and served through the war
with the Fifth Louisiana Tigers. He was
one of the few near Stonewall Jackson at
the time of his death. For many years
Mr.. Carson was a stage driver on Ben
Halliday's stage line. running west from
Cheyenne On two occasions his stage
was taken from him by the Indians, he
escaping only by cutting the traces and
fleeing. He never. however. lost a pas
Senger, his fine craftsmanship serving
him in good stead.
Mr. Carson was in the employ of the
contractor when the Union Pacific rail-
road was built and was in charge of the
advance party. As result of this school
ing ne became valuable man at con-
Struction work, and for the past few
years he has been employed as foreman
by the Utah Construction company.
Just before his death he made a re-
quest that he be buried by the G. A. R.
veterans. although he fought with the
confederacy. His request will be COM
piled with and the pall-bearerS will be
chosen from among the local members of
the Dix-Logan post. The funeral will be
held at o'clock Sunday afternoon from
the residence

congress has been held heretofore. so that
the irrigation congress may be in session
while the national congress is being held
In the first place, we westerners know
whole lot about irrigation, although of
course. we still have much to learn. On
the other hand, the great Ina jority of peo-
pie in the east know little of the benefits
and possibilities of irrigation. and it is
right there in the east that we want to
get people interested.
1T is from the congested centers of the
east that we want to draw recruits for
the vast army of agricuturists needed to
develop our western country. and we want
to show the people. and especially the
lawmakers in Washington. something
about the goods we have out tere.
''Of course. there will be other cities in
the west that will advance their claims as
the proper place to hold the 1903 irrisa-
ton congress. but the committee that
Will report on the advisabiiity of the
national capital will have some strong ar
guments to present.
''One of these arguments would be that
the work of the irrigation congress would
be brought closer to re attention of the
government officials in this way than It
could in any other We would also have
the advantage of the presence of moce
speakers of national fame than we could
hope to procure for a congress held in
some western city,"

twirler made good his intention and left
for some place in Idaho last evening, as
he announced he would do.
Hunt was fined and suspended yester-
day for general INSTRUMENTATION. Hunt
pitched for Murray on Wednesday with
out securing the consent of the Salt Lake
management. thereby putting them in a
hole for yesterdays game. He is also
accused of using too much of the stuff
that makes Milwaukee famous, and help
ing some of the other players to fall off
the water wagon. After thinking the
matter over yesterday Manager Rogers
decided TO place him on the suspension
list without pay, which means that Hunt
will not be able to play in any of the
other league teams.
Manager Rogers says he knew this thing
was coming on for a couple of days and
that he has already made arrangements to
get another pitcher. He expects to have
him here in a day or so. and promises

Promised Not to interfere.

Mr. Hitchcock there has been attached
the condition that in the settlement of
state disputes the interest of the electoral
ticket must be preserved. With this
string tied to his promise not to inter
fere he could with consistency take a
hand IL he believed action was contem-
plated by state leaders or by a state
convention TO the detriment of the
chances of the national ticket
Before entering the conference today
Mr.. Hitchcock said that he had never
known a more perplexing problem than
the Hughes matter, but that it was one
that he was not compelled to work out
He said. however. that he wanted to
secure full information concerning every
phase of the situation.

upon by the national leaders appears to
be in danger at any time of being over
turned.

WANTS ALL TO
HELP THE CAUSE
William LawtOn Thinks Entire
City Should Pay For
Heights Celebration

Although he is not a resident Of
Washington Heights. nor a member or
the association which is soliciting
funds with which to mako a creditable
Independence Day celebration there.
William Lawton. tho Market street
business man. Is conducting vigor-
Gus campaign for funds for the asso-
citation. With but one dav intervening
before the glorious Fourth" the as
sociation finds itself ir need Of money
to make the celebration what was in
tended. and It IS hoped that subscrip-
tions aggregating at least 500 viii be
receives before the hour Of the jubilee.
Speaking on the subject this morning.
Mr.. Lawton said: For the past Ave
years the association has been en-
deavoring TO give the pecple of the city
a glorious Fourth. OF course Il costa
money. Residents Of the neighborhood
have contributed willingly TO the fund
but the amount has never been sufT-
cient to meet the expense gone TO. In
consequence the members of the as
sociation have had 10 rake uD the
deficit from their own pockets. This
Is not fair. Last year ten thousand
persons saw the display, and Of that
number possibly not mere than two
hundred contributed to the fund that
made the celebration Tire success II
was AS residents of every section OF
the city take pleasure in viewing the
display think they should help pay
for il and not expecc resident Of the
Heights to provide the pleasure for
them. II is not a square deal for the
people there. We all ought 10 help
in this work. II one thousand persons
would each contribute 25 cents to tho
fund the eagle would scream louder
than ever on the Heights on satur-
dav."
The associations fund was Increased
somewhat to-day by additional contri-
buttons The amount in hand. how
ever. is not sufficient TO meet the ex-
pense the association has gone 10.
Elwood Souder, Of No. III West Ninth
street. is treasurer Of the association.
and subscriptions in any amount to the
fireworks fund will be gladly received
by him. The pyrotechnics have been
received and are a fine collection. The
collection viii be added tc. however. If
additional money is contributed to the
fund. thus insurng the biggest csle-
bration in the history Of tho associa-
tion.
