CITY ELECTION
 A TAME AFFAIR
Rumor of "Runaway Dark Horse" Was Without FOundatiOn-Small Vote Cast-NO Opposition
 tO Nominees.

Not more than one hundred votes were cast in the city election, held here yesterday, but when it was ru- mored that an effort was being made by some dark horse" to defeat City Attorney w. B. Sorrells, many voters went to the polls and swelled the number to about 250 before the polls closed. The rumor was without foundation, it seems and aside from a little fright, it "blew up" like burst ed bomb. There was no opposition tc any of the Democratic nominees. Those reelected were City Attorney w. B. Sorrells, City Clerk w. A. Lee, Aldermen Fred Fox, of the First ward; J. F. Hut, of the Second ward; Russell Hollis, of the Third ward; J.. A. Clement of the Fourth ward.

IS AN AGREEMENT
 A REAL OCTOPUS?
Jefferson County Grand Jury May Summon Officials of Local lee Com. panies and New Delivery to., Be-
 fore 1t to Explain Conditions.

Rumors are in the air to the effect that the present grand jury will be asked to investigate an alleged agree mont, which is said to have been re- gently made between the Arkansas and Texas Ice and Coal Company and the Consumers Ice and Coal Com- pany. Judge w. D. Jones, prosecut- ing attorney, stated recently that the recent arrangement between the two ice companies and the Pine Bluff Delivery Company has every appear arce of being an arrangement in vio- lation of the antitrust law and be- fore some days pass 1t is expected that the officials of the ice companies and the Delivery Company will be called before the inquisitorial body to explain the arrangement.
 The fact that the Delivery company has absolute control of the output of the two local plants and is fixing the prices of ice for all consumers, pat rons of both factories has created suspicion. Although no official state- ment has been give out by Judge Jones 1t is knoHn that he has dis cussed the matter and that he will most likely ask the grand jury to probe into it.

NEGRO WATCHMAN WILL
Be TRIED FOR MURDER
County Attorney Issues Complaint
Charging Slayer of Fame With
Capital Crime.

In complaint issued in the office of
County Attorney Job P. Lyon yester-
day afternoon, L. NJ. Duncan, the ne
gro who shot and MORALLY wounded
Archie Fame Sunday night, is charged
with murder in the first degree. The
complaint is signed by James ].
WOODS. who was a roommate of Fame
at the Colorado hotel. and who was
with him on the night that Duncan
shot him.
y is the claim of Woods that there
was no cause for the shooting, and that
Fame had said nothing which might
nave aggravated the negro.
Statement which were made by Fa1e
before he died at ST. Marks hospital
Friday night, and those presented by
Woods coincide with unusual minute
ness, while explanations that Duncan,
the negro, has attempted to make from
time TO time have been of conflicting
character. In the statement alone that
Fame had a revolver in his hand has
he been consistent in his stories, but in
vestigation reveals that Fame had no
revolver on the night he was shot, and
had not been in the habit of carving
firearms or other weapons.
Duncan had never been given a
license to carry a revolver by Chief of
Police S. M. Barlow, who has made il
point not TO permit ordinary watch
men of construction properties, which
would not be likely to attract a thief
TO arm themselves with revolvers.

PEACH CROP IN DANGER
Horticultural Inspector Says That
Warm Weather May Injure
Fruit Blossoms.

Box Elder county, and probably other
counties Of Utah, are in danger of los
ing their peach and other fruit crops by
the ravages of frost. According to a
statement made by ]. Edward Taylor,
state horticultural inspector, who has
just returned from an inspection trip
through the northern portion of the
state.
IF the warm weather keeps UP an
other week." said Mr.. Taylor, ''the
peach blossoms will all be out and then
the outlook is that trouble Will be ex-
perienced with frosts. The fruit grOw-
ers are very uneasy about the situation.
The equinoxial storm, which comes IN
a short time, is likely to bring some
cold weather.
If all the fruit growers were equipped
with smudge pots that could be brought
into requisition as soon as there were
evidences of frost, the danger would not
be so great, said Mr.. Taylor. but there
is only about one fruit grower in twenty
that has smudge pots that are available
when wanted. Most of the growers are
wishing that the present good wea-
Their would let UP for while. Other
counties are said to be In about the
same predicament as Box Elder county.
