CHIEF VAIL IS INJURED
Fire Fighter Is Down and Out in
More Than One Sense-Ren-
dered Unconscious.

Chief Vail of the fire department was
down and OUT in more senses than one
last night. Not satisfied. apparently, with
losing his official head, Chief Vail, re-
spending to the second call of fire during
the excitement on Main street, sought to
lose his life as well.
When the fire occurred in front OF the
Auerbach building Chief Vail mounted a
ladder in order TO determine that which
was best TO do. In his upward journey
the chief was compelled to make his way
through a tangle of wires. In doing so he
laid hand or rather. wrist, on one Of
them, and instantly he was rendered I'M
conscious.
IF it had not been for the boys. said
the chief afterwards, II don't think /
would ever have come out of ii. / knew
everything that was going on, but l
couldn't move and / couldn't speak. II
the bows had not stayed with me / firmly
believe that l would have been a corpse
by now"
The chief suffered severe burns on the
wrist as a result of his contact with the
i'll insulated wire, but his experience, I'M
enviable as It is, will not have any seri-
GUS results.

WHY GEIGER LEFT HOME.
Says His Wife Was Cruel to Him and
Children,

Philip Geiger. recently brought back to
Ogden from Riverside, Cal, charged with
having deserted his family, filed an an
swer and cross complaint to the divorce
proceedings brought by his wife, who, he
says, has a bad disposition. Geiger as
serts that on such occasions it was nee
essary for him TO leave the house until
her fury had subsidized He also alleges
that she was guilty of cruel treatment
to the children and therefore is not a
proper person TO have custody of them.
He says that on one occasion she seized
their little girl by the hair of the head
and dragged her into the house and that
the little ones screams attracted the
neighbOrs. He states further that during
January. 1867, he was Obliged to inter-
fere on behalf of the children. These are
some of the reasons why Geiger left
home" and why he thinks he should be
given the devirce instead Of his wife.

CITY IS RUNNING
RAPIDLY BEHIND
Statement Shows an Overdraft
of $4,000, Not Counting
Outstanding Warrants.

Above is a statement of the receipts
and disbursements of the city for the five
months of 1908 ending May 81.
The figures were submitted to the coun-
ell last evening by Rudolph Aft, city
auditor. but the showing was so bad that
he forgot 10 add up the disbursement col
umn and left that for others to do. The
receipt column was all nicely added, how
ever.
From the report it is shown that du-
ring the first five months of the year
the city has spent $4,000 more than Il
has received. This is plainly and conciu-
sively shown.
In this statement the auditor. however.
has only taken into consideration the ac
counts of 1903 and has not indicated the
Sl26,O0O Overdraft existing at the first of
the year. This would bring the excess
of expenditures, counting debts carried
over from last year which have not been
paid TO S356,O00. which is approximately
the amount of the Oyerdraft in the gen
eral funds on May 81 as shown by the
books of the treasurer.
1t has been noticed, however, that every
financial report which has been made the
auditor has studiOusly avoided taking in
to consideration the outstanding warrants
against the city which have not been pre-
scented for redemption or which have been
redeemed by the bank and are being held
by that institution until the city can take
them up. This amount nobody seems to
know but il is intimated that il is nearly
Sl00, 600.
