Identity of Thief Who Took Lead
Pipe Is Still i'm Doubt.

Persistent probing on the part of
supt. OF Waterworks Holiday has fail
ed TO fix the responsibility for the theft
Of l,loO pounds of lead pipe from the
apartments storehouse on canyon
road. Alexander Burt, plumber en-
Noyed by the city, says that he count
I'd the stock every day up to Thursday,
Aug. 10. Two days later the material
was missing. The place was not broken
into, but the pipe was taken from the
iront door 1t would require at least
Two men to carry each OF the 800 pound
coils. unless the pipe was cut into sec
ions, There is no indication that this
was done.
Joseph Cohen is storekeeper for the
department. and he maintains that
Burt told him that the coils had been
counted up to Tuesday. Aug. II, a dis
prepancy of two days from the other
statement.
Until the guilty parties are appre-
hended all the employees in City Creek
canyon are more or less under sus-
picion. The police have the matter i'm
hand' but as yet there is no clue as to
VINO may be guilty.

some spots all bcautified with green

There are graves all grown over with
weeds, covered with dead grass, or
swept by devastating fires. And this
makes me think: Why should not the
community do something toward keep

presentable condition? Would it be
too much Socialism to spend some of
the peoples money on the beautifying

Mrs. Caroline Olson Says STAN
lev Rasmussen Was Not
Treated Kindly.
BoDY COMES FROM CALIENTE
r,citiyc from Industrial School Was
Victim of Box Car smashup While
Trying 10 Reach California.

mo body of Stanley Rasmussen
who was killed in n wreck on the salt
lake Route near Caliente. New, last
Sunday, arrived home yesterday and Is
nov lying at the residence of his moth
or Mrs Caroline Olson. at 176 west Sec
ond South street. The scene at the
home when the body was taken there
was a heart rending one. the mother
being almost frantic with grief at the
untlmely end of her hayward son.
Stanley Rasmussen was only 20 years
Of age He had been somewhat wild,
through unfortunate early associations,
and had been sent to the state indus
tral school, On the night Of Aug. 4,
stanley, in company with Willie Blu
chanan, sawed his way out of the in
dustrial school. and made his way to
this city, where he remained in hiding
at his mothers house for three weeks
He left the city Friday evening with
his brother, and was going to pay his
fare to Los Angeles, where he intended
to join the navy and try to live down
his old ways He got just beyond Cali
ente when his life wa snuffed out in a
box car wreck.
BLAMES AUTHORITIES.
Mrs. Olson Is strong in her feelings of
resentment against the management of
the state industrial school at Ogden.
She says that on Aug 3, the day before
her son escaped from the institution,
she went to the school and requested
permission to see her boy. She says
that Supt Thomas refused her the pri-
vilege of seeing him. She says Supt.
Thomas said something about having
given Stanley whipping and that he
would get something worse in the near
future. Mrs, Olson pleaded for a chance
10 see the boy. but was met with a
persistent refusal. Next day the boy
sawed his way out through the iron
bars of the institution and made his
way to Salt Lake.
There was a reward of SIS up for the
capture OF the runaway lad, and the
police were watching ovory avenue for
him. He managed to get out Of the
city Friday evening with his brother.
Seeing freight train go by, Stanley
jumped on that instead of waiting to
pay his fare as passenger. His choice
resulted in his death, for II was while
rolled UP in his coat In box car
that the wreck occurred which resulted
IN his body being crushed at Kyle. a
few miles the other side of Caliente
Funeral services were held from
the funeral chapel of Eber w. Hall
at o'clock this afternoon.
