Cicinnati, o., Jan.-29.-Race
feeling is held responsible today
for triple tragedy last night at
the East Night High School in
which the victims were William
Wuebbold, William Brill and
Charles Ruff, all white boys, aged
about II. Wuebbold is dead and
Brill and Ruff dying. All three
were stabbed by Atlas Telford, an
1S-year- old colored boy, who was
attacked by crowd of white boys
The fact that there had been sew
eral previous attacks on the boy
and two huge rocks were found in
the pockets of Wuebbold will be
used as an argument to secure his
acquittal. Richard Jones, colored
aged 15, was shot and killed by
Detective Kuhman last night as
he was passing through the Big
-Four Railroad yards. The police
are trying to ascertain if the race
feeling engendered by the high
school riot had anything to do
with the shooting, which Jones
companions say was without pro-
vocation.

$40 COLLECTION
Capt. Tom MaCkey Passes Hat
and Finds a Generous
Response.

Following an appeal from Captain
Tom Mackey at the little Commercial
street chapel of the Volunteers OF
America. the hat was passed and so
collected from an audience OF labor
ing men and Fort Douglas soldiers,
in all. Mr.. Mackey spoke on behalf
CT the life of the little mission house.
He told how the surrounding saloons
were jealous of the reform 1t was IN
dertaking and were attempting to
Gust the refOrmers.
His appeal was typical one and IL
took well. Men who earn their money
a manual labor tossed from 81 to $40
trfbuted. Mrs. Tom D. Pitt added gen
erOusly to the fund, as did Captain
Edison of the Volunteers hotel and
lodging department. The amount con-
tributed will stave off the financial
bugbear for several weeks. during
which Captain Mackey hopes to ma
terialize certain plans by which the
chapel viii be put permanently on It's
feet with no monthly fear of the land
lord and other creditors.
Already a list of persons who have
promised to subscribe s. monthly to
the support of the institution has been
secured. 1t costs between $3.50 and
$200 a month to keep the place going.
Next week Captain Mackey will
open free employment agency, where
men out of work will be furnished
with situations. In this way Captain
Mackey plans to gradually widen the
scope of usefulness of his chapel and
the work he carries on.

SKELETON IS UNCOVERED
Workmen on County Road Find the
Bones of a Human Being Two
Feet Under Ground.

While workmen for Louis II. Sims were
grading on the county road at Tenth
South and Thirteenth East streets Friday,
they uncovered a human skeleton which
was in a remarkably sood state of pre-
serVauOn. The find was made alongside
a fence in Thirteenth East street about
two feet under ground
W. H Hamilton, a foreman for Con-
tractor Sims, was running the plough and
had stopped to rest at the point where the
skeleton was found He noticed a bone
which had been turned up by the plough
ana picking it I'D noticed that it was d
rib. Investigating further the WOrkmen
found other bones of the upper and lower
limbs and finally the skull.
The body apparently had been lying
face downward. the back of the skull
being uncovered first How long the body
had been placed in the ground was a mat
ter of conjecture. There was no indica-
ton that the body ever had been enclosed
IN a box as no pieces of wood were found
about There were two teeth in the back
of the upper jaw ana one in the lower
The skeleton was permitted to remain
in the place where it was found and Mr..
Sims notified Sheriff Joseph G. Sharp OF
the find.

ticket was made out for Baker City in

she was put off the train at Pleasant

boarded the next train. which, she says,

EXPECT DEFICIT
IN WATER FUNDS
Notwithstanding Advance in
Rates Last Spring, Expenses
Exceed the Revenues.

Approximately 500 attachments Of water
rates, carrying a total Of S42S5.75 re-
funded to water users in Salt Lake, were
made by the city council board of equali-
cation of water rates. which finished its
annual meetings some time ago. The
report was compiled yesterday by Ed
Kneass. chief clerk in the WateTwOrks
department. Weekly meetings were held
for several months, when complaints were
heard from water users and attachments
made in approximately 500 cases, for va
cancies, erroneous assessments, charity
and nOn-use of water. A comparison of
attachments for the two years follows:
l909-1O 19OS-O9
East side ..................$2 1920 s.. 463- .
West side .................. 2C02S0 1,6G. %
Supplementary o.. ........ I4S.75 15.20
Totals 900. .............S4, 800 S4,07915S
This shows an increase of S2066O in re
bates this year over those of a year ago.
The total flat rate assessment for 1909
10 amounts TO S14S, 121.TI, which does not
include the meter rates or supplementary
assessments. The meter rates will bring
in another $4,000, and the supplementary
assessments will amount TO approximately
$4,000, making the total income from the
WaterWOrks department about S21S,000.
This is several thousands of dollars in
excess of the revenue in the past, but
it is hardly probable the department viii
be able to get along with it. The council
committees last spring raised rates all
over the city, but the department will
probably show a deficit again. The def
cit last year was little more than 49,
600.
