SIDEWALK IS NOT
FOR THE CYCLISI
In the City Court Today Judge
Converse Makes a
Ruling.
HE WAS LENIENT, HOWEVER
MOSES HARRIS WAS NOT FOUND
GUILTY BECAUSE SHERIDAN
STREET WAS TOO BAD FOR HIM
TO RIDE ON.
HE WAS LENIENT, HOWEVER

With the court holding that the city
ordinance prohibiting bicycle riding
on sidewalks applies to all the space
between the property line and the
curb. when street is impossible, the
bicyclist has no alternative but to get
off and walk. If he have sufficient in
fiuence perhaps he may induce the
street commissioner to put the street
in decent condition.
In the case OF Moses Harris in city
court yesterday afternoon the court
was lenient. because Of conditions.
Sheridan street is in such an awful
condition whenever 1t rains that bi.
cycle can not be pushed through the
mud. Fairview residents formed the
habit of riding on the dirt between
the cement sidewalk and the curb.
north to the viaduct.
Arc Making Sewer.
] A sewer is being constructed near
this point and as there are no resid-
ences it was the custom to take the
walk at the viaduct and ride north to
State street. But the court says the
practice must stop. It Is not the courts
fault, as he realizes such conditions
prevail as to make the use OF the side
walk necessary, but residents COM
plained to the police and the interfer-
ence had to follow. Somebody
knocked.
North D street from Sixth street to
the DOran bridge presents a similar
condition to that of Sheridan street
After each rain this thoroughfare
which is one Of the busiest in the city
Is in a most deplorable condition
Water stands in chuck holes six inches
deep. The street Is worn into ruts
The mud has filled the cutters and
they afford no place-for bicycle. The
street car rails are In the middle oi
the street and the company seems tc
pay no attention to their condition
In muddy weather bicyclists have
made use Of the strip between the
walk and the curb. In passing the
freight depot they have had to use the
walk or get off and walh There hal
been no complaint to the police about
the use of this walk.
But bicyclists would like to know
why streets can't be kept fit to ride
on, II there be no place else. As 4
general practice the use OF the walks
by wheelmen is not to be tolerated
and the enforcement Of the ordinance
would be welcomed by the general
public. There are exceptions to al.
most any rule. however.

TONIGHT AT SYLVAN PARK.

The appearance of Miss Fannie
Frankel tonight In the vaudeville at
Sylvan Park Is an unexpected piece of
good fortune for the management.
The lady Is en- route from the coast
to New York, where she is now booked
but is able to put in a few days here
en- route.
She has been on the Keith and Proc
tor circuit, the largest in the world,
and the Orpheum for several seasons
and is we'll and widely known all
through the cast. She has figured as
the prima dona soprano a great deal
In grand opera and concert work
The Vancouver paper has this to say
OF Miss Frankel:
AS charming prima dona soprano
Fannie Frankel is as nice a singer as
the Orpheum has had this year. Her
choice of songs Is admirable. and her
voice such that she can do justice to
those she sings. The soprano was
formerly one of the leading singers
in that popular comedy opera. "The
Time, The Place. and The Girl" In
that show she held Il leading place,
and in vaudeville is more than making
good wherever her engagements take
her, And the patrons of the Orpheum
are no exception TO the rule that has
made Fannie Frankel one OF the most
popular singers on the vaudeville
stage. -

Editor of Standard: My attention
has been called to an article publish
ed in last Wednesdays paper, May Il,
Boys Death Explained in New
Light" At the time of the BOYS death
the papers published a good descrip-
ton of the terrible tragedy. One
point | wish 70 explain. A fence di~
vided the tent OF tepee and the camp
fire. Alfred Royle was standing by
the camp fire 0 the time the fatal
shot was fired that caused his death
Hence 1t was impossible for him to
lean or kneel on the canvas of the
tent. We know how the gun went off
but do not wish 10 repeat the story
already given. We have investigated
the affair thoroughly anG nave come
to the conclusion that it was an ac-
cfdent. We wish the people TO under.
stand that VIC acknowledge it as
such. Our hearts go out in sympathy
for Mrs. Smith and we ask God in
His mercy TO comfort and strengthen
her to overcome her sorrow ana trou-
bles for we think she has many.
We hope this will close the sad
chapter that caused so much sorrow.

Electricity from the Earth.

Great local differences in the electr,-
fication OF the earth are known TO e;;-
let. and a German engineer suggests
that with better knowledge IL may b.
possible TO make mining for electricity
as profitable as digging for coal or
metals. In experiments in two com.
paratively shallow borings, he has OBJ
tanned weak currents between small
rod of brass or iron immersed in the
water of the pit and similar rod
buried near the surface. He urges
that contractors, mining companies and
others take up the problem. and per
form such experiments as testing the'
current between a 60-foot copper cylin-
der at the bottom OF boring of 10000
feet or more and a similar cylinder bur
led In moist ground at the surface.

obtained from long iron pipes buried

sible that means may be found for

She had been up nearly all night and

AN OFFICER, A
cow AND A

HELD THE ATTENTION OF NUM-
ClPAL COURT.
Children Threw Pebbles at the Dog
Tax Collector When He Attempt
ed to Impound a Cow.

The municipal court was the scene
this morning OF case which tested
the legal authority vested In the
estray officer and the extent to which
the court would uphold that officer
in the discharge OF his duties.
Mrs. Henry Rackham was the de-
fendant in the case, the charge being
Interfering with an officer prefer
red by Dog Tax Collector w. Fl, Goan.
The complainant testified that he
mad rounded up a number OF cows that
were moving about the lawns and
flower beds of residences in the VI
cinity of Harrison and Twenty second
street. Upon his way to the estray
pound. Mrs. Rackham and a small
regiment of children attempted re-
peatedly to turn her particular COW
In an opposite direction in an effort
TO get 1t back home. The animal fin
ally ran up narrow path near the
cemetery where the officer had to dis
mount and follow afoot He succeed
ed in getting rope over the cows
head which Mrs Rackham tried TO
remove, meanwhile the army OF chill
dren increased the difficulties encoun-
tered by the officer by showering rtm
with pebbles.
The defendant made but little eX-
planation OF her act except to explain
that the officer had been trying to i'm
pound her COW and she had been try
ing TO prevent him.
The court decided that the lady
was entirely in the wrong, but no
fine was imposed, she being charged
only the expense Of the trra1, $3.50.
The court took occasion TO state
that residents of Ogden who have
horses and cattle within the city linn
its must take care OF them The city
Is making an effort to beautify the
public parks and drivewayS In antic-
ipation Of the G. A. II. eDcamDment
and residents are being encouraged to
improve their private lawns and flow

than fair that owners of livestock
should be compelled to keep the same

doing much damage to neighboring
lawns.

with an officer engaged in taking an
animal to the estray pound is an of
