General Adolphus w. Greely, Arctic
explorer and commander of the 1884
expedition, said:
"Dr. Cooks achievement, reported by

viewed as the most extraordinary feat
in polar explorations. He was prac-
tically without all that had been con-
sidered an indispensable equipment for
extensive polar travel.

HELD UP BY
A TRIO OF
THUGS
ALBERT A. DALTON HAS AN Ex-
PERlENCE AT NIGHT.
Negro and Two White Men, Finding No
Money, Discussed the ACCESSIBILITY
Of Beating Their Victim.

Albert A. Dalton, manager of Rose
wood park, West Weber, was held up
by trio Of thugs Tuesday evening in
the vicinity of his home, but fortunate
ly lost nothing through the experience
but suffered slight shock to his ner-
yous system.
Mr.. Dalton stated today that he was
walking toward home in the Rosewood
district between 10 and II o'clock,
when he was joined by stranger, who
walked some distance conversing with
him. Upon reaching quiet spot two
other strangers suddenly appeared
from the side of the road, one OF whom
was a negro The latter's partner drew
an ugly-appearing gun from his hip
pocket. and, presenting 1t at Mr. Dal-
toms head, ordered him to throw up
his hands.
The other two men made careful
search of their victims clothing for
valuables. Finding nothing. one Of
them remarked that he had half a
mind to club Dalton over the head with
the gun and thus relieve, to an extent,
the disappointment of not making the
haul" they had anticipated
Mr. Dalton discussed the matter at
some length with the men, and they
finally abandoned the Idea of clubbing
him and left him alone. Mr.. Dalton
stated that they went short distance
down the road and sat down on the
grass. apparently little concerned over
the crime they had attempted to COM
NIT, and allowed their victim to con-
tinuc his way homeward unmolosted.

motto of Manager Murray and his

grounds, was called The employees
are w. S. Smoot. w A. Rugg. Alonzo

Roy Ross. Marshall Mcintyre and IGu-
gene Hart. The employees testified
that each had placed lien on the
Fair grounds when CheckettS & Brad
isoD failed to pay them the total
claims amounting TO about $500, and
the Volker- -Scowcroft Lumber Co. also
had filed q lien on the Fair property
for $526.
Attorney r. S Farnsworth appeared
for the lumber company. A. C. Agec
and jim Kimball for the employees and
Judge A. c.. Horn for the Intermom-
tain Far association.
This is a case wherein the parties
want TO stick the Fair association for
the labor as well as the lumber lien.
The mechanics all testified that they
did the work and that Checketts &
Bradison owed them the balances
claimed. All went along smoothly un-
til Eugene Hart was on the witness
stand. He testified that he had never
presented his claim to the Fair asso-
citation and filed his lien for SlO4 with

finally admitted that he settled with

Horn had this witness so confused that
he trembled in the witness chair. his
