CHANGES EXPECTED
ON UNION PACIFIC

Reports have lately been circulated con-
corning a number of changes by the
Union Pacific One of them is to the eff
feet that A F. Wick Roy. division super
intendent for that road at Denver. has
been rendered the position of division su-
perintsndent at Kansas City for the same
road. to take the place of J. o. Brinker-
hoff who expects to retire March l. The
report further states that if Mr.. Wick Roy
accepts. W A. Whitney, superintendent
at Ogden, will succeed him at Denver
This rumor circulated in this city yester-
day. gave rise to some speculation as TO
whether some Salt Lake man would be
assigned to the position inL0gden. At o.
S. L. headquarters yesterday it was
: tated
Little is known about the changes men
toned 1t is probably true that MIR.
BrinkeThOff will retire early in the spring.
He is getting very old and has been long
in the service. He has won retirement.
That Mr.. Whitney will go to Denver, in
the event Mr. Wick Roy goes to Kansas
CITY is doubtful Mr.. Whitney is too
good a man where he is. If he should go.
there seems little probability that man
will be appointed from here to so to Og-

GRAVE FEAR OF FLOODS
IS NOW FELT IN OGDEN
Ogden River Is High and Low Lands
Are Now Under Water-Night
Gang at Work in City.

Grave fears are entertained that unless
the cold weather continues the territory
adjacent to Ogden river will be flooded.
The recent thaw and the rains have
caused the river to rise rapidly and in
some cases it is reported to have over
flowed its banks.
Snowsiides have occurred frequently in
the canyon. making it dangerous for any
one to use the roads leading to the Og-
den valley. It is said considerable ice
has come down the river and lodged
against the breastwOrks of the power dam
in the canyon in such a compact form
as to cause the water to overflow the
dam.
In the Ogden valley all the low lands
is said to be under water and present in
dications are that Ogden may experience
flood greater than that Of two years
ago.
The street department put on night
gang yesterday to keep the culveTts in
the city open in order to prevent the water
backing up on the streets. There were no
indications last night of the rain, which
fell in torrents all of yesterday, ceasing.

Negro FIRES al White Man lust As
Chief Executive Is Passing.

While an enraged negro was
Juggling at the trigger of a 5S-cali-
Der revolver, the life of Gov.
Austin Lane Crothers was in
jeopardy for a short time yester-
day.
The firing of shot so close to
the Governor gave rise nomentari-
ly to startling reports that his life
had been attempted, that he had
been wounded. and so forth. As
matter of fact the Governor was
not shot at, and, according to his
own! version, he was not nearly
shot
Persons who were in the neigh
borhood when the firing was done,
however, are authority for the
statement that His EXcellency had
very narrow escape, and Consid =
er it extremely fortunate that the
poor craftsmanship of the negro
with the pistol who failed to hit
the man he fired at did not result
l in the wounding of the Governor.

The Governor was walking along
Hopkins place near Lombard
street about S O'Clock yesterday af-
ternoon. and did not observe
Demids and two white men engag-
ed in an alteration on the side
walk. He passed through the
group and, although he remembers
hearing raised voices, did not hear
any OF the argument.
Then the shot rang out. Demids
had pulled the revolver from his
hip pocket and had fired point
blank at Brockman. The bullet
struck the wall of brick building
within line of five feet from the
f Governor.
