Thursday evening at about II
O'Clock p. M, our quiet netghborhood
was aroused by the alarm of fire
which proved to be the farm buildings
owned and occupied by Aaron Soule
and family. The house, ell, shed,
barn and sheep shed were totally de-
stroyed while the stable and corn bin
situated on the opposite side of the
road together with the household fur
niture were saved with but slight
damage. The fire originated near tho
ice house and it remains a mystery
how it caught as there had been no
fire In the stove since Six O'CLOCK.
The buildings were insured in the
Grange for S1400 but as Mr.. Soule had
not paid his assessment he will have
no claim on the company. 1t is a
great loss and much sympathy is ex-
pressed for Mr.. Soule and family, who
are at present living in the Nichols
rent.

colonel l. A. Benton, city passenger
agent of the Denver & Rio Grande
railway, is prolOnging his visit to Cali
fornia, and although it was announced
that he was going to Los Angeles and
not to San Francisco, railroad men be-
lieve he will hardly return home with
out having visited the new general Of
tees of the Western Pacific in San

ton of general passenger agent for the
western Pacific has settled on either
Colonel Benton or F. A Wadleigh of
Denver. 1t is understood that Colonel
Benton declined the place and that Mr.
Wadleigh has been chosen.
Colonel Bentons business in San
Francisco is more likely to be in the
capacity of adviser than anything else
No other official of the two roads is so
competent to make an estimate of the
probable passenger revenues of the two
roads for the next year.
That the Western Pacific and Denver

SPERRY PRISONER
UNDER BIG STUMP
Bishops Son Pinned Down in
Mud for Three Quarters
of an Hour.

While digging under the roots of a
large box elder tree in front of his
home, at 1415 South Third East Thurs
day, Ebby Sperry, the 22-year-old son
of Bishop Harrison Sperry was pinned
down into the mud by the slipping OF
a prop and he was badly hurt. The
police station was notified and DR.. c.
M. Benedict responded. He stated that
while the patient was in a serious con-
ditiOn, he expected him to recover.
The stump which Sperry was digging
out was about eight feet across the top.
When tibet city paved the sidewalks on
Third East street during the summer
the tree had TO be cut down and one
side of the stump cut away in order to
make room for the pavement.
The contractors promised to remove
the stump and leave the street clear
Since the stump, which had become
dangerous to teams, had not been re-
moved, Sperry started Thursday to dig
underneath the roots. The side Of the
stump had been prOpped up and Sperry
had succeeded in digging d hole about
four feet deep beneath the roots.
When almost directly under the roots
the prop slipped and the entire weight
of the stump was thrown upon his body.
The fact that the mud was soft was
the only thing that saved his life. The
great weight of the tree forced his
body down several inches into the mud
His mouth and nose were sunk into the
ground so far that a space had to be
dug out of the bank in order that he
might breathe.
Neighbors were called in and props
were placed under the stump again
and after three-quarters of an hour il
was raised sufficiently to drag his bodv
from the hole.
The straps of his boots were cut away
and these. with part of his trousers.
were left in the hole held fast by the
mud and roots. When he was taken

FRANK HANSON IS
HELD FOR ARSON
Former Postmaster Arrested
by Federal Officials While
Visiting Brother.

Frank Hanson, former postmaster at
Fillmore, Willard county, Utah. was ar
rested by James H. Anderson, United
States marshal, on the charge of having
broken into the building occupied by the
pOstoffice at Fillmore and setting fire
to the place. Hanson was indicted by
the federal grand jury recently.
Hanson was visiting his brother, Will
lard Hanson, former county attorney,
when arrested.
Charles Baldwin, United States COM
missioner, fixed his bond at $1,000, which
was furnished by Charles Tying and
Van d. Spalding. 1t is said that he will
have to answer to charges of having
takeh letters from the postoffice during
one of the two fires.
The postOffice at Fillmore was burned
on September I, 1908. c. d. Lowe, post
office inspector. made an investigation,
but no arrest was made. The postoffice
was burned again on August %, 1909,
together with a drug store, and sus-
piciOn fastened itself upon Hanson. The
pOstOffice inspector discovered facts
which caused the arrest.
There have been other fires in Mil
lard during the last year and suspicion,
it is said was directed against Hanson
in some of these. Some time ago, in
connection with another transaction, a
search warrant was obtained and in
HansOn's house letters are said to have
been found which were taken from the
postoffice.

Stapleton said that this was a mistake
of the clerk.
StapletOn has been here about two
years, he says, having formerly lived
in Haley. He said the other man, on
whom he places the blame, owed him
money and he accepted the two money
orders. one for $50 and the other for
500.

FOR WOMEN WHO SMOKE

The Great White Way in New York City is to have the additional glare of dining palace, to be opened next fall and to cost the tidy investment of $2, 100000. One novel feature of its luxury is to be woman's smoking room, the furnishings and decorations of which are to cost $75,000. That is the metropolitan way of measuring luxury by the dollar mark. It is further the metropolitan way that the necessity for such smoking room should be recognized and bravely exploited. It is further appropri- ate to be assured that the furnishings will be Assyrian; that the attendants will be clad in the garb of the Babylonian days, and that the fair smokers' will be served with rare bronze caskets filled with the costliest cigarettes. This is enough to disturb the spirit of Beshazzar.
 Some good women may think that it is also enough to cause lament that luxury should lapse into vulgarty and that social civilization should project itself into gilded barbarity.
