Fight Over Debt.

Salt Lake, May 6.-Alfred Altree.
manager of the Atlas Loan company,
was stabbed and severely wounded by
w. l.. Bartlett on West Second South
street Wednesday evening. Two
wounds were inflicted, one on the
right arm and another under the right
arm near the armpit. The latter cut is
the most serious Of the two and II is
believed that the point of the knife
used by Bartlett, pierced the lung.
Bartlett was arrested about 9 o'clock
by Patrolman Stains, and is being held
in the city jail pending the outcome of
Altree's injuries,
Altree met Bartlett on Second South

lett struck Altree a blow in the face.
A fight followed and Altree succeeded
in knocking Bartlett down four times.
AS he arose the fourth time he pulled
knife from his pocket and stabbed
Altree twice. He then made his es-
cape, but later was arrested. Altree
was taken to his home at 460 East

lily last night. His injuries Will not
prove fatal.

ON The ST. BARNARD PASS.

In 1.-THE Rescue Dogs OF st. Ber-

the Wide World Magazine. says that
the animals frequently remain out on
the mountains searching for lost trav-
elers for fifteen, eighteen and even
"a hours at stretch.
"On one OCCASION" he writes, I'VE
went down the pass to seek some trav-
elers who we knew, could not possibly
find their way, as II was showing hard,
bitterly cold and very dark. We had
three dogs with us and sent them on
ahead. Presently we heard one bark

sound. and there found the animal
paving away in the snow. I knew
someone was buried there. and, push

we soon came across the body Of
man. We gave him some wine and bis
cults. Hearing another dog barking, |
was fastening away when the animal
that had found the Individual mention

me over in the snow. I wondered what
was the matter. and got up quickly,
discovering, with the aid OF lantern,
that was on the brink OF precipice:
the dog had saved me from stepping
over to my death. On this particular
hunt we found eight persons. includ-
ing one woman and little child. The
latter was very weak and LII. One of
the brethren removed his outer coat,

SCORED ON IMPoLlTE VISITOR.
Local Men Had Rather the Better Of
Exchange of Compliments.

An English lawyer named Ratcliffe
was famous in his circle for skepti-
clsm and his hatred of religious
things, One time this Mr.. Ratcllffe
had occasion to go to st. Adams, to
take testimony in law case In which
he was engaged. He amused himself
during the proceedings by continually
alluding to the town as "Albans." in
stead of "St Adams"
Presently one Of the lawyers pres
ent asked:
why do you call this place AL
bans?'"
Because l don't like saints" said
Mr.. Ratcllffe.

Nothing more was said on the sub.
ject, but by and by. the work being
completed. the lawyer rose to take his
departure.
"Good-by, gentlemen" he said to the
three or four ST. Adams men who
were present
"Good-by. Mr.. Cliffe," they all an.
swered at once.
What do you mean by calling me
Mr., Cliffe?" he exclaimed.

PLAIN CITY AND NORTH OGDEN
TO PAY TOLL.

On May Is the telephone service
to North Ogden and Plain City will
have small charge placed on each
call. Manager Harrison of the Bell
Telephone company says it has been
found necessary to establish toll of
1c cents for talk with Plain City and
cents for similar privilege with
North Ogden. The difference in rates
is based on mileage.
Strange as 1t may seem, the Plain
City station has been operated at a
loss of $1,000 and Mr.. Harrison states
1t is necessary to make a toll service
of the line In order to reduce the loss
TO smaller figures.
According to the local manager, the
telephone business is not all profit.
He maintains that the one-dollar tel.
ephones in Ogden are operated at a
loss and that the profit in the business
is principally from long distance ser
vice and phantom circuits and not
from city exchanges.
On the local pay roll are rs persons
with a total salary list Of $4,000 per
month. which at 50 telephone-the

SMUDGE POTS RECEIVE ATTEN.
TION

The Colorado Junction News has
this to say of the smudge pot victory
OF last week:
The smudge pot Is apparently going
to be big factor in making the Grand
Valley famous. The story of the won
derful fight the ranchmen of Mesa
county made against the frost last
week with their batteries OF pots has
been telegraphed and printed all over
the United States. The attention OF
the entire fruit world has been attract
ed to the system by our recent sue
cess and during the next twelve month
the local manufacturers of fire pots
should reap comfortable harvest In
other fruit growing communities be-
sides that OF Colorado.
The recent storms have affected the
fruit growing districts all over the
United States. Hood River, for the
first time In years. is reported to be
badly nipped. Utah reports that they
will not harvest so per cent of their
crop OF last year. Texas is declared
to be damaged and Tennessee, through
n combination of frost and windstorm,
will be off the fruit producing map,
and Delaware Is in a similar position.
1t is significant to note the wide
general interest that was expressed
IN the progress Of the Grand Valleys
struggle against the frost Not only
did the Denver papers carry long ar
ticles detailing every phase Of the sit
uatlon about Grand Junction, but the
Associated Press. the United Press and
| the Hearst Service picked up the story
| at that point and sent il out to their
| hundreds of clients.
1t is gratifying to note that the
ranchmen owning unsmudged orchards
are finding out that they were not as
I badly hit as they first believed.

charges are made. the public expects
them to be well based, says the Butte
Inter-Mountain
Congressman Murphy's resolution in
congress. to investigate the conduct of
Judges Philips and Mcpherson of
Missouri, was at once disayowed by
Governor Hadley, who said he knew
nothing of it. The men accused are
prompt to demand full inquiry. Con-
gress itself will look into the matter.
According to the dispatches on the
subject. the preamble of the Murphy
resolution claims that the two Judges
accompanied certain railroad attorneys
on fishing trip, on which occasion
members OF the party were arrested
for violating the game laws of the
state. The resolution charges that
Judge Philips neglects his duty by
continued absence from the bench and
that when he does preside the court is
