ACTION WANTED
BY SALOON MEN
Ogden City Council to BE
Asked to Back Up on High
License Question.

Effort is TO be made to have the Ogden
city council reconsider its recent action
to postpone all consideration of the ques-
ton of high license till after January l,
1910 And the significant thing about this
Is that salOonmen are at the head OF the
movement to bring about reconsideration.
Just how far-reachiag this movement IS
cannot be ascertained at this time. Nor
is it known just when the pressure IS TO
be brought upon the cOunCilmen TO nave
them back up on their former action But
information comes from a reliable source
to the effect that the liquor interests or
the community have heard things in the
last week that tends to weaken them IN
their position. They are said TO fear.
general uprising in the cOmmunity-a
radical movement in favor of prohibition
While they do not fear prohibition, they
do fear the agitation and the influence It
might have on the next legislature, and
they are looking far enough into the tu-
ture 10 cause them to stop and think.
Some of the wise ones among them think
II better to bend a little now than to be
forced to Withstand tempest later on.
For this reason there are many well
posted men In the community predicting
that the question of high license will be
before the city council again in the near
future. They also predict that the out
come will be different from the outcome
of the last council meeting. Whatever
the outcome, # is now certain that the
liquor question is to play an important
part in the next municipal campaign, and
this regardless OF who may be the can
dldates for city office.

DUGOUT BILL TAKES HIS OWN LIFE
IN HIS HOVEL In INDIAN CANYON

Robinson had committed the act Of
self-destructiOn while In bed, the COW
ers being thrown over the body, which
otherwise was perfectly nude. The pis-
tOl lay beside his right hand. With
much difficulty the remains were taken
down near the Strawberry and later bu-
ried in the local cemetery.
Joseph r. Robinson was one Of the
early settlers on the reservation, fling
on his ranch near the mouth of Indian
canyon shortly after the opening. He
was a soldier in the war with Spain,
and it is said received a quarterly pen
sion. He never allowed any one to 60
near his dugOut, which gave rise to the
story that he had money hidden there
That the unfortunate fellow was de-
mented admits of no doubt. He bought
scantily Of the local stores, and with
the exception of some -four had nothing
whatever eatable at his abode when the
dugouts were examined. In has ra-

TABERNACLE SERVICES.

Apostle David o. Mckay delivered
thoughtful and effective address at the
tabernacle yesterday afternoon on the
subject, Rising Above Self" The key
note of the address is to be found in the
following quotation which was taken as
text-"Unless above himself he can
erect himself, how mean a thing is man"
The speaker reviewed the external in
tuences that induced men to compro-
mise with right and truth such as ambl-
ton, wealth and frivolity: influences that
dragged them below themselves instead
of elevating them above themselves. He
argued that mans dominion was not con-
fined to the beasts of the field and the
fowls of the air, but extended over him
Self-that he was the best ruler who had
learned how to rule himself IllustTa-
tons were pointed out where rulers had
failed because of their inability to rule
themselves and their passions. There was
a large attendance at the tabernacle serY-

An article of interest is found IN the
latest issue of the Duchesne Record,
published at Theodore, in Wasatch
county. The item tells of the suicide
of J. r. Robinson, commonly called
"Dugout Bill" in mis- howell in Indian
canyon The article says that Robin
son had relatives in Salt Lake, but in
asmuch as no names are given, it was
impossible to locate them last evening
The Records account Of the suicide
reads.
Monday morning William Jolley
brought word to town that Joseph X.
Robinson. commonly known as 'Dugout
Bill had committed suicide in his up
Der dugout on his homestead in Indian
canyon.

ing the door of the dugout open il was
a most grUesome scene that confronted
them. Robinson had been dead for sew
eraI days. The deceased had shot him
self with a small calibre pistol Of the
cheap variety, the bail penetrating ths
middle of the left breast and evidently
finding its way to the heart Death was
undoubtedly instantaneous.

 Tn quarry from which the work men were engayed in getting out stone for the foundations of Princeton col lege a wide crack in the rocks was dis. covered which led downward to a large cavity. and In this cave were found about twenty bushels of rattle snake bones.
 There was no reason to believe that this was snake cemetery. to which the creatures retired when they sup posed they were approaching the end of their days. but it was without doubt a great raltlesnake trap

 Thus year after year the rattlesnakes must have gone down into that cavity without knowing that they could never get out again.
