Some time ago Simon Bamberger
of the Salt Lake & Ogden Railroad
company asked the city council for A
franchise TO extend his track in Third
West street across south Temple. so
that he could deliver freight To ware
houses and wholesale houses along
Third West Street, south Of South
Temple. But last night Mr Bamber,
ger informed the committee that he
would not press this request, and his
check for $500 Will be returned. this
having been put up by the railroad
man TO assure his good faith in the
matter.
An agreement has been arrived al
between the Short Line and Bamber-
ger road whereby the Short Line will
handle all OF the freight business OF
the Bamberger road for the Third
West street houses over its own
tracks. The transfer VIII be made a.

Towards Little Girl in
Ca1lettSburg.

The Rev. J. W. West, who in May,
1905 came from Virginia TO become
superintendent Of the Kentucky Anti
Saloon League, has resigned that po-
sition and has left Kentucky, as the
result of charges brought against him
for improper conduct toward little

held in that city.

happened, and when her father re-
turned home that evening ard was
told. he sought West He found him
at the Methodist church, where a
meeting was being held. The child's
father had a pistol and was so anger
ed that he wanted to shoot West. but
was restrained. He denounced West
as a scoundrel and related the charge.
The matter was at once brought to
the attention of the Rev. w. B. Beau
champ, president of the anti-Saloon
League; the Rev. R, l.. Reid, pastor
of the Methodist church in Catletts-
burg, and other leaders Of the Anti
4 Saloon League, West denied that he
had any evil or improper intent in
his acts, although he admitted he
had fondled the children.
The leaders CT the Anti-Saloon
League realized that it was impossi-
Me for him to continue in the SER
Vice of the league after such a charge.
1t was agreed that he should resign
and leave the State. West delayed in
carrying out his part of the agreement
and spoke later at Henderson. The
father thereupon pressed the matter
and it became public.

they are. They will seek the nearest

morning / observed that the wind had
blown it over fat upon the ground.
There were no projecting roots pro-
truding from the northeast side of
the plant. All of the roots upon that
side were curved around toward the
southwest. With spading fork
lifted the earth upon the southwest
side of the plant and discovered
forkful Of decayed stable manure. The
roots upon the northeast side curved
to the southwest because 1t was the
shortest route to food supply. That
