GUS OPENE
CURBSTONE
OFFICES
WHERE HE SOLD JOBS TO HIS
COUNTRYMEN.
HE Prospered Until an indignation
Meeting Of the Unemployed Ex-
posed His Grating Methods.

Gus Christon. formerly hot tamale
merchant on Grant avenue, was
brought into court this morning by
Officer Cooney. on suspicion of his
having been indulging OF late in a
bit Of high finance. Gus Is n Greek.
and number Of his countrymen made
complaint to the officers that he had
been obtaining money from them un-
der promise Of employment.
Gus, 1t seems. told his friends that
he could secure them profitable en-
ployment and would willingly do so
In consideration of slight remuner-
alton. They inquired what amount or
capital would be necessary for them
to invest In good Job and their bene-
factor told them that So a head would
be about right. Three friends volun-
teered at once and turned over the
money as instructed, but tho job was
not forthcoming.
They waited around Gus headquar-
ters, which were of the curbstone va
riety, near the corner of Twenty-ifth
street and Grant avenue. for several
days until the idleness began to pail
upon them. Gus seemed too busy with
his other prospective customers most
Of the time and rather neglected the
ones who had put up" first. Finally
an indignation meeting was held and
the embryo employment director was
arrested on the charge of obtaining
money under false pretenSes.
Gus pleaded not guilty 10 the charge
when arraigned In police court. and
the court. after hearing the testimony
Of Officer Cooney. ordered the defend
ant held under bonds to the amount
Of $40.
The complaining witnesses state
that Gus painted vivid pictures of work
in the hay fields and recited tales oil
the agricultural supremacy of nations
until they considered him more or
less In the light OF saviour of his
people

P RES I ON is
TO ANSWER
IN COURT
HE WILL BE CHARGED WITH BOX
CAR ROBBERY.
Was With Burns the Night Seymour
L. Clark Was Murdered at Uintah
Station, East Of Ogden.

Information will be filed this after
noon OF Friday morning against Jas.
Preston, charging him with burglary
in connection with the box car rob-
berry at Uintah and the murder OF
Deputy Sheriff Clark on Thanksgiving
night.
Since arriving at Ogden. Preston
has made no further confession OF
connection with the Uintnh crime. and
has not been subjected to a close ex-
animation by either Sheriff Wilson or
the district attorney. The prisoner Is
apparently contcnted In tho county
jail and announces perfect willingness
to remain there until he Is taken into
court for trial on the burglary charge.
The man has cut out '"dope" for the
time being at least, and shows ply
sical improvement since his incarcer-
alton nearly six weeks ago.
The story that Mrs. Preston would
visit ogden today, with her attorney.
to take steps to secure her husbands g
release. Is not seriously considered at
the sheriff's office. The woman has
failed to put in an acSearance and If
she visited the county jail. where
Preston Is confined, 1t is more than
doubtful whether she would be allow
ed to see or converse with him.

Nervousness.

Nervousness Is often due to some
poison formed IN the blood by the de-
composition of undigested food-In
other words. often arises primarily
from indigestion,
Nervousness when due to this cause
may sometimes continue through
many years without causing danger.
Gus conditions On the other hand
nervous disturbances due to this auto.
intoxication or self-poisoning may be
Immediately fatal.
Many people. however, suffer from
nervous indigestion" as they call It
for 20 years or more without fatal ter.
mination. In these cases there Is of
course a gradual weakening of the
general system which predisposes to
many diseases. and death is always
premature. usually being tracoable TO
what Is called heart failure.

WOULDN'T GO BACK
To Old Days of Coffee Troubles.

StudiouS, sedentary habits are apt
to cause indigestion. dyspepsia. ner-
vous headaches, etc. but often It's
the daily use of coffee that is at the
bottom of the whole trouble, and it is
surprising how quickly these troubles
disappear when coffee is dropped and
well-made Postum is the daily bever-
age.
A No Oak minister writes of the
relief obtained when he changed from
coffee to Postum He says;
Il began using Postum about Il year
ago while stopping at the home OF
friends during the absence OF my wife.
1T seemed almost providential. for

Bilious attacks about every two weeks
that completely used me up for day
or two at time.
II did not suspect coffee and was
unable to account for these attacks.
Since began Postum have had but
one slight attack and the change to re-
stored health is most acceptable.
MY wife declared on her return
that nothing would induce her to give
up coffee, but after few careful prep
parations of Postum. according to d.
Iections on pkg, she thought 1t was
superior to coffee In favour, and now
We would not change back to coffee

tude to Postum which has done so

SIX MEN ARRESTED AND PLACED
IN JAIL.
Two Parties In Gang Confess to Burg
larry Of Upp Jewellery Store
Yesterday Morning.

Chief Of Police Browning. Detec-
tive Pender and Special Omcer Robert
! Burke made very clever capture or
crooks yesterday afternoon Accord
ing TO the statements of the officers.
the men arrested belong to a band OF
all-round hold-ups and burglars. There
are six OF the fellows in the gang ar
rested yesterday, some OF whom have
| made confession to crimes committed
| In Ogden, The confessions carry with
them, the impression on the part OF
the officers that they have In
custody bunch of robbers that have
been operating in nearby towns OF
! the state of Nevada within the last
| few years
The men arrested yesterday give
their names as John Martin. George
Fitzgerald. Frank Williams. Felix
Weaver, Francis Joseph and Harry
Joseph. Williams and one OF the Jo-
sephs have confessed to the burglary
OF the Fl. F. Upp jefelry store on
Washington avenue, between Twenty
third and Twenty-second street, Tues
day morning. and there is little doubt
In the minds of the officers that the
burglary.
The premises were entered through
a transom OF the rear door and the
place was burglanzed of opera
glasses, diamonds and other valuable
jewelry. a part of which was found
IN the possession of the two men and
the major portion Of the balance was
found In various pawn shops OF the
city. The fellows were arrested In
the st. Louis saloon and other down
town places on Twenty-hfth street.
According to the evidence at the
hands OF the officers the six men have
been working their way eastward from
the coast, burglarizing and robbins
wherever an opportunity was Afforded.
They held up and robbed n number
of trainmen at Montello. Nevada.
Saturday night, taking from them a
watch and other jewellery, part OF
which has been found In the Ogden
pawn shops which was deposited by
them. The officers aver that they
have clear case against three of the
men In the Upp burglary. and that
there is little question but that the
evidence against the entire bunch for
the robbery at Montello is conclusive
as to their guilt.
Martin, Fitzgerald and Williams Will
in all probability be charged with the
of the H. F. Upp jewelry store on
and the other mon, Weaver and the
two Josephs, will be held for the Ne
vada officers, and also be charged with
being acoomplices in the Ogden burg
larry.
The officers feel that they have sue
ceeded in capturing a band OF deS-
peradoes who well deserve connne-
ment in the penitentiary.

RAMMED IN A DENSE FOG

Chatham, Mass. March 10.-Blank-
eted by a dense fog. the steamers
Horatio Hall from Portland for New
York. and H. F, Dimock. from New
York for Boston, met In the middle Of
the narrow channel. known as Pollock
Rip Slue, today. with crash that
sent the Hall TO the bottom, within
half an hour, and caused the Dimock
to run ashore six hours later on Cape
Cod beach, where the passengers and
the crew of the Hall were landed un-
harmed,
A brief wireless message which the
operator OF the sinking Hall managed
to send broadcast, spread the news OF
the collision, but as he failed TO give
the position, details of the disaster
did not become known until the d.
mock came ashore shortly after 2 p. m.
During the six hours OF silence, wire
less stations on the coast were vainly
endeayoring to locate the collision.
while revenue cuttuers searched the
coast to render assistance.
AS the fog cleared later in the after
noon the Dimock was seen heading
for the beach and half an hour later a
boats crew with the five passengers
from the Hall, including two women,
landed 1t is apparent that there was
a misunderstanding of signals, for the
two steamers suddenly loomed out OF
the fog and before either could sheer
off they crashed together,
Captain Thompson of Dimock start
ed to back his steamer. but seeing that
he might save those on the Hall, sent
her full speed ahead, held her nose
into the Jagged rent in the Hall and as
he pushed the latter over toward shoal
water on the side of the slough, the
five passengers on the Hall were drag
ged over the tangled mass of wreckage
to the deck of the Dlmock. All the pas
sengers were from western cities.
