LOST tickets RETURNED
TO RAILROAD OFFICES

At this season OF the year, when so
many tourists pass through this city,
there are many instances where rail-
road tickets are lost. In the offices of
the Salt Lake Route, the Denver & Rio
Grande and the Q. s l., hardly a day
passes but there are reports of lost
tickets. Some of the tickets never find
their way back to the railroads or own
ers. Many Of the tickets are found and
dropped into postoffice boxes and thus
get back to the company. Others are
inclOsed in letters. Seven such tickets
have recently been returned to Kenneth
c. Kerr, district passenger agent of the
salt Lake Route.
Colonel Ira f. Benton of the Denver
x Rio Grande, regarding lost tickets,
said yesterday: Hardly a day passes
but that we get reports from some tour
list who has lest his ticket. One of our
passenger agents recently lost a bag in
which he had a bundle Of passes. The
bag never got back here, but the bundle
of passes was dropped into the post
Office The depOts are infested with
pickpOckets. but this year 1 think the
police have been pretty successful in
cleaning them up. Tourists often lose
their pocketbOOks and the thieves take
what money is in them and often send
the tickets to US. Sometimes they throw
them away and they are found b. hon
est people and returned here.
Il believe, however, that carelessness
on the part of the tourists is responsible
TO the greatest extent for lost tickets.
Not long ago a visitor reported the loss
of his ticket here and, on being ques-
toned as to where he had been about
the town, suddenly remembered he had
eft a book containing his ticket in the
Vienna cafe. He found his book and
ticket at the restaurant"

the clemency of the court.
Judge Nj. L. Richie hesitated and
looked surprised when Mr.. Loofbourow
made this recommendation. Mr.. Loot
borrow told of the circumstances sur
rounding the crime. The men. he said

IN the doorway of the Commercial club
building, pulling d gun on him and de-
handing the cOmpany's money, Of

without struggle and was knocked
out with a blow over the head with

confessed the crime. Mr. LoofbourOw

Sweet, the victim of the thugs was. L

sion of this affair"
Mr.. LoofbourOw said that Mr. Sweet
after being knocked unconscious, had
been laid up for d day or two, but was
now at his work again. He was, the
district attorney said. unable TO make
any certain identification of the men,
and it was because of this that the
lenient sentence was asked.
The judge fumbed over some papers
and paused for several minutes He
then ordered the men to stand up and
passed sentence. Chief Of Detectives
Sheets then turned the thugs over to
Sheriff Sharp and they Will be taken
out to prison today.
The highwaymen had been arTaigned
before Judge J. ". Bowman in the
morning just before being brought to
the district court and waived examina-
ton.
Nothing was said i'm any of the pro-
ceedings of the other crimes to which
they were supposed to have made con-

of the Salt Lake & Ogden depot in Og-

which he Ousted her and compelled her

She says that about Dec. "A last,
when she was 50 years of age and her
mind impaired by age, young Wiseman
persuaded her to deed the property to
him. He had pTOfessed to be very fond
of her and promised to take good care
Of her while she lived.
After the property was in his name,
Mrs. Wiseman says that he had her
elected from the place, and subsequent

was forced to go to the poorhouse. She
has heard that he had applied through

Short Line to Chicago.
Guernsey is nearly directly north of

III discussing the question yesterday one
iduroad man stated it as his opinion,
oased on the recent fight for traekage
franchise through Cheyenne between the
Burlington and Union Pacific forces. i'm
which the Burlington was victorious
That II an extension should be built to
salt Lake 1t would be from Cheyenne.
THAT'S where you're off" said an
other man. who appeared to be posted.
1t has been decided definitely by the
burlington people that when the line TO
TINS city Is built it will be from Guern-
sey. And there are several reasons for
it. in the first place. with another cut
on that has been proposed, such a line
would give the Burlington the shortest
line from Omaha and from Chicago to
SAT- Lake, by many miles. Another rea-
sun II tlldt IL mas been found the route
from Guernsey is ideal The grades will
Dc light the construction comparatively
easy and the route would omen some
rich country not now tapped directly by
a rail system. l know the route thor
oughly, and have been over much of II.
II IS proposed to run almost directly
west of Guernsey and cross the Medi-
cine Bow river near to where that river
ana the Platte river converge. The di-
rectlon would then be somewhat north
west of ShOshOne, to connect with the
line now contemplated and for which the
contract has been let; thence southwest

And how would It come into this
city|' was asked.
"Unquestionably by way of Emigra-

But LeGraEd Young now has a troll
ley line up Emigration canyon, and it
Is reported he is an attorney for Har-
riman."
Nevertheless Hill controls a fran
chise through the canyon. 1t is owned
by the Utah Railroad company, and the
stockholders Of that company have been
meeting annually for the last five years

Question of Terminals.

The burlington people own COnSid-
cradle property here" was the answer.
That matter was investigated and the
gentleman was found to be mistaken.
The Burlington syndicate, of which for
mer President Perkins of the Burling-
ton was the leading investor, and whose
affairs were handled by Z. B. Wicks the
real estate man, formerly. until Hill
bought the road, owned many valuable
pieces Of real estate, The corner on
which the Judge building now stands
was one of its properties at one time.
These properties, except this, now are
held In the name of H. B. Scott Mr..
Wicks explained yesterday:
These properties never belonged to
the Burlington railroad proper. They
were individual investments in which
several Burlington officials were inter
ested. After the sale of the road to Hill.
these properties changed hands. 1 do
not know that the Burlington company
owns any property i'm this city now that
could be used for a terminal site"
What is regarded as a strong indica-
ton that the Burlington is planning to
build west and TO Salt Lake soon is the
fact that the road has decided to build
a cutoff from Bridgeport, Neb., the point
from which the branch line runs to
Guernsey, across to Broken Bow. on its
main line. This piece of road straight
ems out the route to Omaha and consti-
tutes a piece Of construction that would
hardly be profitable or feasible were il
not the intention to Build on west from
Guernsey.
?. Gibbons, contractor, of this city,
has recently been into Wyoming for the
purpose Of figuring on a sub-contract
on a piece of the construction awarded
to Macarthur Brothers, and he reported
yesterday that the Burlington people
were certainly very active. He knew
nothing definite regarding preparations
for building soon from Guernsey, but
said there was much talk on the subject
in that country and that he would not
be surprised to learn of an announce
ment to that effect. He knew that a
route had been figured out and that the
company had been talking on the sub
ject for several years.
