A BOLD BURGLARY

Last Saturday night some one
broke into w. 81. Poole's jewelry
store and carried away watches
and lewelry to the value of about
$1,000.
1t has been the custom of How
ard Poole to sleep in the store but
that night he stayed at home on
account of his father being very
sick.
At present no definite clew has
been found as to who the burglar
is. Sheriff Weiss and Deputy
Woods have been investigating
the matter and if they have any
theory they are not divulging it.
Saturday night was bitter cold
and it is not probable the burglar
drove out of town with his booty
that night, but has secreted it in
town somewhere.
The burglary created consid-
cradle excitement Sunday morn
ing and has been the topic of con-
versation since. A good many
valuable watches belonging to GUS
toners were among the things
taken and the loss must naturally
fall upon them.
Unfortunately, Mr.. Poole had no
safe in his store at the time of the
robbery.

been thoroughly dispelled. The shows

BOUNTY is PAID FOR
THE BIG Brown BEAR

Jesse Elgin, John Clark, Louis Shaw
and Thomas Rhodes drove up to the
court house yesterday afternoon with
a massive brown bear occupying a
place of honor In the rear end of the
wagon. The animal was the one kill
ed at Liberty. just above Huntsville.
In the ogden valley. The animal was
crossing from the mountains to his
summer range He was alone, near
the Liberty church, when observed by
the quartette of young men and when
the latter began to herd him until
rifles could be secured, the big brute
evidenced a disposition to fight his
enemies. A few minutes later he was
killed and measured seven feet. three
inches from nose to tip of tail Tho
hide is the color of handsome mink.
a beautiful brown, and Will make n

weigh In the neighborhood of 500
pounds, although his captors main
tain that he will tip the scales at
something over 800 pounds.
The young men were paid bounty
OF $40 for shooting the beast and arc
proud and jubilantly happy over their
victory.

city during the present year. Dis
cussing the subject briefly with re-
Porter. he said:
why, II is an open secret at Ore

plies of every description for the Har-
riman roads converging at Ogden has
been in contemplation for months. and

around the building in order to un-
load supplies and reload cars for

be provided for handling heavy sup

while | am not an authority on the
subject. the opinion obtains that the
supplies carried will be many times
greater than those now kept in stock
and, of course, this will necessitate
an enlarged working force In every de-
partment Of the storehouse.
II am unable to say OF to even
guess when work on the building will
be inaugurated, but the supposition Is
that construction will follow along
with the other important improve

THE whole proposition is In the

City Council Defers Action on G. A. r
Appropriation-Sewerage Tax
VIII Not be Returned.

The city council held a short ses-
sion last evening, at which an average
amount of routine business was at
tended to. and which was preceded by
pose Of disposing of the G. A. r. en-
campment appropriation. The matter
was not disposed Of, however. as an
ticipated. and the meeting adjourned
until Wednesday evening, when the
appropriation will be determined upon.
The city has been asked to appropri-
ate 81. 500 to be used In entertaining
the veterans and those in attendance
at the encampment and a variety OF
opinions have been expressed as to
the preferable way in which the mat
ter should be handled. The Idea OF
contributing TO the Salt Lake fund ap-
parently has met with considerable
opposition.
AT the later meeting of the council
the new liquor ordinance. which came
up for its first reading, occupied a
large portion of the time. The ordi-
nance Is somewhat similar to the one
previously in force. but is much more
severe In its restrictions.
The most important change Is In
the amount OF money required for H.
cenSeS The quarterly license de-
manded from the retailers is raised
from $3.50 to 1915. The wholesalers.
who have been paying a quarterly
sum of $3.50, must now contribute
$3.50. Manufacturers licenses have
been raised from 800 to 5000, and
the manufacturers agents a similar
amount, Druggists dealing In liquor
will be required to pay $3.50 license.
and are prohibited from selling liquor
in packages containing less than one
half pint The ordinance passed It's
first reading and was referred to the
license committee.
Upon motion of Councilman Flygare
Mr. Richardson was granted permits
sion to address the council. The gen.
tleman referred to the Ogden Bench
Canal company and stated that the
grade on Jefferson avenue, between
Twenty-first and Twenty-second
streets, was very bad. making II al
most impossible for the water users
OF that district to properly water their
gardens. The matter was then re-
lCIIcu W IuC otiCtt ullu
the city engineer with power to act.
Mr. Sisman also addressed the
council. stating that the culverts at
the intersection of Lincoln avenue
and Twenty-third street were In bad
condition. He requested that instruc-
tions be given to have the culverts
cleaned out and put in proper condi-
tion to facilitate obtaining water for
irrIgnting purposes. The matter was
referred to the street committee.
The tax committee reported in the
matter OF a petition which was re-
ceived some time ago from Edna s.
Harlin. requesting the remittance of
interest on sewer tax. The committee
decided that the granting of the petit
tion would establish an unsafe prece-
dent, and, therefore. recommended
that the same be refused. The report
was adopted,
The reports of the various depart
ments were read and referred to the
proper committees or ordered filed,
Council then adjourned until We'd
nesday evening. at which time. it was
decided. to dispose of the G. A. r. ap-
preparation.
