We're stored and, through alleged fTaudu-
lent representations to Redman, took the
goods from the warehouse and Sold them
again. Pennington returned to the city

ment against Harris. The case was ap-
peaied to the supreme court by Harris,

pense, and when the action was disposed

So Declares ]. Adam Rede of
Minnesota in Address at
Barratt Hall.

Out of all of the modern inventions,
problems such as now are confronting the
people of this country never fail to arise,
according to ex-Congressman J. Adam
Bede of Minnesota, who spoke last night
in the BaETatt hall. But these problems
have some of them been solved, accord
ing to the speaker. As fast as they are
presented some solution has been offered,
and in time all will be regulated by the
progress of humanity.
"In the days gone by We had the s!av-
cry problem to confront he sais. That
was a dark question, but after the civil
war it became settled. Out of it grew
the present day race question. It remains
unsettled, and as yet there are few ideas
that have been advanced for its solution.
In the days of the civil war there was
not a hotel throughout the entire north

NEAR TRAGEDY At
A CHARACTER BALL
Theodore Mexican Is Accident
ally Shot by His Chum,
Jasper HepW0rth.

Theodore Mexican, aged II years, was
shot and seriously wounded Tuesday at a
character ball at BOuntifuI, Davis county,
by Jasper Hepworth, his chUm, who did
not know that the revolver he pressed
to McKean's body contained a loaded
cartridge. HepwOrth fired point blank at
his chum, the bullet passing diagonally
through the left lung half an inch be-
low the apex Of the heart, and passed out
from behind. The young man was re-
moved to the home of his mother, Mrs.
Elizabeth Emery Mexican, widow of the
late Theodore Mexican, where last night
ne was reported to be resting comfort
ably with every prospect of recovery.
The neaT-tragedy happened at char
acter ball in the Bountiful dance hall,
while the festivities were at their height.
Among the characters was Levi Briggs,
dressed IN cowboy costume, and armed
with a revolver. from which he discharged
several blank cartridges during the even
ing. The blanks he carried in his pocket,
while in a belt around his body was
supply of loaded cartridges, carried sim
ply for effect.
During the evening Hepworth, who has
been a Chum Of Mexican for years, and
who is a highly respected young man of
BOunt1fUl, walked up TO Briggs and re
neVed him of his gun, at the same time
extracting cartridge from the belt con
tanning the bullets. Walking up TO
young woman HePworth, unsuspecting
that the revolver contained a loaded cart
ridge, shot at her feet, after which he
held the revolver to his head, pulled the
trigger several times, presuming the gun
to be empty, and that the cartridge he
had taken from Briggs ana inserted in
the gun was the one he had fired at the
young woman's feet.
Approaching Mexican, Hepworth held
the revolver close to his friends body and
pulled the trigger. There was a report
and Mexican sank to the floor. Bully
exclaimed HepwOrth, you played the
part fine" believing, he afterwards ex-
planned, that Mexican was carrying out
the intended farce. 1t was at once seen
that Mexican had been shot, and Drs.
Brown Kesler and Stringham were sum
moned and did all they could to relieve
the young man. 1t was stated by Dr..
Brown last night that unless blood poison
ing set in Mchsln would recover.
HepWOTth is Frustrated over the near
tragedy. Both he and Mexican have the
sympathy Of friends and others who know
the facts of the affair, and It is very
improbable any action will be taken
against the young man. as it has been
demonstrated that the shooting was pure
" accidental

HEAVY FINE IS FIXED
Law Distinctly Outlines Amount Of
Fine for Corporations Failing to
Make the Proper Returns.

There has been an inclination among
the corporations of Utah to neglect
to make returns to L. II. Callister, local
collector of internal revenue despite
the repeated announcement that a fine
of $1,000 viii be assessed against all
corporations falling to make the return
before March /. In some respects the
law has been treated lightly, and some
corporation interests have expressed
doubts as to whether or not so large d
fine could be imposed.
The pertaining fine Is fixed in
the laws to the excise tax on corpora
lions and the time limit is distinctly
set forth. The section of the laws re-
lating to the penalty for failure TO
make returns says;
II any of the corporations, joint stock
companies or associations, or insurance
companies aforesaid, shall refuse or
neglect to make return at the time or
times heTeiubefOTe specified in each
year, or shall render a false or fraudu-
lent return, such corporation, joint
stock company OF association, or in
surance company shall be liable to a
penalty Of not less than one thousand
dollars and not exceeding ten thousand
dollars"

SALT LAKE ROUTE
OFFICIALS CONFER
Conference Being Held Over
Proposed Route in City
of Angels.

Hartman and Clark officials are
gathering at Los Angeles for action on
the Salt Lake Route, and it is ex-
pected that matters Of great Importance
to railrOading of the west will be
transacted, w. H. Bancroft, vice-presi-
dent and general manager Of the Ore
gon Short Line, and his first assistant
Fred H. KnickerbOcker, have gone to
Los Angeles, and they will confer with
J. Ross Clark, Yice-president of the Salt
Lake Route; r. E. Wells, general man
ager; Z. G. TiltOn, chief engineer; Carl
Stradley, locating engineer of the Short
Line; Engineer Mcguire, of the Salt
Lake Route, and other officials repre-
senting both the operating and engin-
eering departments of the road.
Formal reports OF the investigations
of the three engineers who have gone
over the proposed new routes will be
heard, and in addition, the advisabtlity
of rebuilding through the Meadow VAL
ley wash viii be discussed and acted
upon, it is thought. favOrab bly,. General
Manager Wells and Engineer TiltOn
have gone through the flOOd-strtcken
region and have found that a high
line road can be built where the road
bed will be above the danger line. If
this can be done at less expense than
the rebuilding of the line in another dt-
rection, it is more than likely that the
old route will be re-established.
