Arrested After Struggle.

Latchford, New Ontario, May IL
A complete counterfeiting plant was
found on Saturday in the tent of Ade-
lard Dion and Thomas Gascon, alleged
silver prospectors from Montreal, who
were camped on Bay lake. The men
were arrested after a desperate strug.
gle.
Only a small quantiay of spurious
coin was discovered, but when the con-
stables arrived one of the cruicibles
was standing on the camp fire. The
attempt of one of the men to pass a
bogus fifty-cent piece in a Latchford
store led to the discovery of the plant.

BOYLES ARE IN PRISON
Man For Life Sentence, Woman
For Twenty-Five Years.

Woman Said to Have Taken Poison
Sunday Night and to Have Narrow
ly Escaped Death - Razor Found
Concealed In Boye's Necktie-Story
Of Boyle duplicating Harry Forker
In Abduction Not Generally Credit
ed In Mercer and Sharon.
Pittsburg, May Thames Boyle and
his wife, Helen Boyle, were lodged Ia
the Western penitentiary here last
night shortly before o'clock, the for
mer under a sentence of life-imprison-
ment, the latter sentenced to serve a
term of 25 years
The prisoners were taken first to a
side room and told they would have
to say good bye, as the rules of the
prison would not permit them to see
each other sSain. Mrs. Boyle threw
her arms around Jimmie's neck and
kissed him. She said 1--WE must take
It the best we can
The prisoners then shook hands and
the matron escorted Mrs. Boyle from
the room. When she reached the cor
ridor she burst into tears and asked
to be permitted once again to see her
husband The request was granted
and she again kissed and embraced
Boyle. The man maintained silence.
When Mrs. Boyle gave her belong
ings to the matron, she asked permis.
sion to keep a small mirror she car
ried, saying 81 do not want to leave 1t
behind as that would make me have
seven years of bad luck" The mirror
was returned to her and she will be
allowed to keep it in her cell.
During the trip here from Mercer,
where they left late in the afternoon,
the kidnapers spent most of the time
in quiet conversation together. They
discussed the sentence which they al
lege was unjust and asked what steps
they would have to take to get re-
view of the case, and how to see' an
attorney. Mrs. Boyle tried to cheer
Jimmie" and wanted to know if he
would be permitted to smoke at the
penitentiary
When asked how she felt Mrs. Boyle
said, pretty bad" On arriving in
Pittsburg she remarked: Mercer will
sleep quieter tonight-sleepy old Mer-
GER, since we are out Of It,"
Sheriff Chase said he was glad to
get the prisoners out of his custody
as he was afraid they would be sue
cessful in their announced intention
he believed Boyle had intended to kill
his wife and then commit suicide with
the razor the sheriff found in the kid
napers tie yesterday. Neither of the
prisoners would deny that this was
true.
Sensations followed each other thick
and fast. The severity of the sentence
appalled, Mercer, where it was pro-
nounced, and surprised many else
where. Then came the sensational
scene in the courtroom, when both
prisoners collapsed and had to be car
ried from the room. Hardly had they
reached their cells when the word was
given out that the woman had taken
poison during Sunday night and had
narrowly escaped death at her own
hand, and that razor had been found
concealed in Boyles clothing.
Before this thrill had lost its force,
Boyle gave out his statement implicat-
ing Harry Forker, brother of Mrs.
Whitla, in the kidnapping case. In
Mercer and Sharon the story does not
seem to be generally credited, and as
the assistant district attorney has no
faith in It, there is little likelihood of
any formal action in the matter.

you 10 good. A gentleman from Davis

WHAT OTHERS THINK
ABOUT THE LEGISLATURE
PROHIBITION.

Utah has always been noted for the
widespread temperance sentiment or us
inhabitants. particularly among those OF
the Lstter-dsy Saint faith; and until a
comparatively few years ago saloons were
not tolerated in towns that numbered less
than several thousand inhabitants. unless
they were mining or railway towns ten
anted In great measure by men OF al ma
ttonalities and cTeeds. Gradually the lines
were relaxed until the saloon has invaded
almost every little city or town OF a thous-
and habitaBts and in some instances IS
esta blished where there are only rev
hundreds. To say that there are now a
dozen liquor dspeusaries where twenty
years ago there was but one. would prob
ably not be overstating the case.
Contributing to this condition. IL is
claimed. are some of the Salt Lake brew
cries. which to spread the sale Of their
product have furnished the capital to
start numerous saloons all over the state
in which are sold all kinds of liquors. but
in which the contract entered into re-
uuireS that only the brand of beer made
BY the supporting brewery shall be sold.
The saloon interests thus acquired and
built up have grown TO enormous proper
lions and have made of their promoters
wealthy men, who naturally resent intrl-
sion upon what they consider their vested
rights. hence have used all the means at
their command to prevent legislation that
would tend TO curtail their business or
diminish their profit
