MRS. PREST|N IS
IN COUNTY JAIL

Another chapter OF the Prestin
case was enacted yesterday and again
Mrs. Herbert Prestin is behind the
bars. this time In the county jail
Upon her release from the city Jail
late Friday night, where she had been
placed for safe keeping while her
child, Dora Prestin, or Belknap, was
being taken to the hospital for treat.
ment. Mrs Prestin stated to an EX-
aminer representative that she was
going to secure legal assistance from
Salt Lake and. force the authorities
to give her child back to her care
Evidently she thought better OF the
matter yesterday and decided TO take
the matter into her own hands. She
went about the city making dire
threats OF vengeance against all con
cerned in the removal OF her daugh-
ter and was particularly bitter against
County Physician J w. Pidcock,
whom she said she would shoot on
sight. Friends of Mr. Pldcock in
formed him of the womans threats.
but at first he was inclined to take
the matter lightly. 1Ae reports oe-

upon the advice OF friends. Mr.. Pid-
cock asked that the woman be taken
in custody. She was arrested by
Deputy Sheriff Thomas Naylin and
taken 10 the county jail. In conyersa-
ton with an Examiner representative
late last night. Mr.. Pidcock said:
Il am sorry that it became neces-
sary for the woman to go to jail. but,
no doubt. it Is better for her | did
all | could for her and her child, but
she evidently did not appreciate it.
for as soon as she was released from
the city jail she called my wife by
telephone and threatened 10 do me
bodily harm the first time she set
eyes on me. At first | was inclined
to disregard her threfIS, but they
became So insiStent that | was forced
TO think the woman might be insane
and might put her threats into ac
tion. L think there Is no question
but that her mind is slightly de-
ranged. / do not intend to make any
criminal charge against her, but
Will insist that she get out of town,
or else be examined as to her san
ity"
When asked how little Dora Pres.
tin was getting along al the hospital.
Mr. Pidcock said:
She is doing nicely. Her fever has
disappeared and her temperature is
normal. She will be able TO leave tho
institution In few days, completely
cured"
Despite the fact that the little girl,
under acute questioning by the
mother, admitted In the presence
of witnesses. that an assault
had taken place. there seems
10 be great deal of doubt
at the present time concerning the
matter aud County Physician Pidcock
is Of the opinion that the girls all
ment was largely the result of bad
cold and congestion rather than any
thing else.
Many of the neiGhbors of Mrs. Pres
tin are of the opinion that the assault
story was the result of carefully
planned coup on the part of Mrs.
Prestin to secure money from Joseph
NJ Kay and. falling In this, to prey
upon the sympathies Of relief socie-
ties and others for pecuniary gain.

REAL WIT AT GOLFERS DINNER.
Man Tells How He Touched Rooke-
feller and Got Away with It.

There are only two real rapid-fire
hits as after dinner speakers In town
nowadays, guaranteed to make good In
any company. One OF them is Simeon
Ford, who says he has retired. and
the other is Patrick Francis Murphy,
who is bald and grows old. They
met at the golfers dinner the other
night and spilled epigrams so rapid
ly that the reporters had 10 quit writ
Ing 10 hold their sides. says the New
York correspondent of the Cincinnati
TimeS-Star. Murphy, I'm the saddest
manner possible, declared that the one
distressing thing about drink was that

The barbarians, he said, insisted on
regarding golf as a retreat for fallen
men. He held that golf was the pur-
suit of pale pills by purple people.

know which we are. 1t is, like mar

w. E. Fort on September for the con-
fscaton of certain liquors, the property Oh
Mamie Brown woman arraigned before
the court some time ago on a charge OIL
violating the prohibition law
1t will be recalled that short time ago
go gallons of beer and whisky were con-
fiscated by Sheriff Higdon upon orders
from Judge Fort of the criminal court
bench and Judge II. B. Abernethy OF the
inferior criminal court. Mamie Brown
was one of the parties involved in this
matter, and at the time the orders OF
confiscation were made she made, through
her attorney, Mr. Marx, protest against
the destruction of the liquor which she
claimed as hers.
The motion is quite lengthy document,
and cites a number of grounds upon
which the attorney says the writ issued
by Judge Fort should be dismissed. Judge
Fort will probably give the motion his
consideration this week. but decision
of the matter is not expected before Fri
day or Saturday.

Like the vessel itself, the impression it
made was unique. 1t was described as
an "ungaihly craft looking precisely like
a baclt-woods sawmll mounted on
scow and set on fire." 1t is easy to
fancy the antonishment and even the
alarm Of the crews OF the ordinary sail
ing boats of the river and of the dwellers
In the towns along the shores. 1t is as
serted that some of the sailors when
they saw this queer looking sailless
thing gaining upon them in spite OF
contrary wind and tide, actually ADAM
doned their vessels and took to the
woods in fright Others, who saw the
boat in the night, described her as a
monster moving on the waters defying
the winds and tide and breathing flames
and smoke" Some Frustrated themselves
and prayed a kind Providence for pro-
lection from the approaches Of the
monster, which was marehieg on the
waters and lighting its pathway with
fire. 1t is easy in this day to ma
amusement in their CONSERVATION, but
the unexpected appearance of the strange
craft must indeed have been terrific.
The fuel used was pine wood, and when
the fire was stirred by the engineer
galaxy of sparks assembled.
