SW|NDIER OF SALT
LAKE BANK CAUGHT
Detectives Long Hunt for Al
fred Donald Walk Is
Successful.
GAVE A WORTHLESS DRAFT
GOT S175 AND DECAMPED TO
DENVER AND EAST.

After being chased through practi-
cally every city of prominence cast OF
Salt Lake by Pinkerton detectives, AL
fred Donald Walk, who swindled the
National Bank of the Republic out of
in" system, May Z, was arrested at
Williamsport, Pa, Wednesday night.
ReQuiS- ton papers were issued from
the governors office yesterday for
Walk and he will be brought back
to Salt Lake by Sheriff Joseph {.
Sharp A complaint against Walk was
issued in the county attorneys office
Under the aliases of Donald Walker
and Lieutenant E. Z. Scranton, U. ).
A, Walk has operated his system of
Swindling banks in practically every
city of the United States and it is esu-
mated that his harvest through the IS
suance Of bogus checks ranges into
the thousands. In a majority of cases
he has hinged his system Of swindllng
banks on representing that he had a
large account in the Mercantile Ma
tiOnaI bank Of San Francisco.
Early in May, Walk came to Salt
Lake and, registering at the Moxum
hotel, represented himself as a district
manager of an insurance company OF
San Francisco He opened an account
for $500 at the National bank of the
Republic, drawing the amount from the
Mercantile National bank of San Fran
cisco. On May Z he presented worth
less draft for $175 at the National Bank
of the Republic and with the money
in his pockets went to Denver.
The case was put into the hands OF
the Pinkerton Bankers Protective as
ISOLATION, represented by William j.
Whsle of Salt Lake, and simultaneously
into the hands of the Burns detective
agency, representative of the Ameri-
can Banking association. The two rival
detective agencies took up the chase
May u. 1t led into Denver and then
to st. Louis and Kansas City, where
it was thought that Walk had been
cornered.
Slipping out of Kansas City, Walk
went to Philadelphia and, out of funds,
fOrgeries. From Philadelphia
he went to New York City, but de-
tectives were so numerous he found
il necessary to retrace his movements
to Philadelphia. From there he went
to Allentown and then to Williams
port, where ne finally fell into the
mesh of Pinkerton detectives.
Through being arrested in Chicago
and later at Buffalo several years ago,
a photograph of Walk was discovered
in the office of the Pinkerton agency
at Denver a few days after the swim
die of the National Bank of the Re
public. The photograph was identified
at the bank as that of Walk and with
this in their possession the Pinkertons
to make the arrest.

Jury HITS BOOZE:
VERDICT IS GUILTY
After Sampling evidence"
Jurors Find Seller of
Brandy Is CuIpabIe.
REBUKED BY JUDGE LEWIS
USE OF DOULL LIQUOR MAY RE-
SUIT IN ANOTHER TRIAL.

In the case against ]. NJ. Doull, drug
gist. charged with selling liquor with
out license, before Judge T. D. Lewis
yesterday, the jury asked that the bot
tie of brandy in evidence be Sc mt to
the jury room. When the bottle was
returned to the court room, along with
the jury and the verdict of guilty, the
pint bottle was empty. The jurors
thought it a good joke. but Judge
Lewis regarded it in an entirely diff
ferent light and the lecture that fol-
lowed was couched in terms which
could not be misunderstood by any
member of the jury.
The result will be that when the time
for sentence arrives, June 4, a motion
will be made for a new trial and it is
believed that the matter will have TO
be threshed out again before another
jury.
The complaint against Doun was
made out by S. Nj. Barlow, chief of
police, and Herman Bauer, his secre-
DouH store on the night of October IL
1909. The druggist said it had been
issued on copy Of a prescription"
OF some DOCTOR, name unknown, which
he had on file, and that when he sold
the brandy to the secretary a physi-
clan who was sitting behind the pre-
Scrlption counter waved his hand to
SIGNIFY that Bauer should have the
brandy The chief contention of the
however, was that inasmuch
as Doul had applied for a license and
deposited his money, he believed he had
a right to sell liquor
Judge Lewis held, however, that if
Doull intended to sell brandy when he
did sell it, and had no license at the
time, he was guilty, and the verdict
was reached as soon as the Jury had
sampled" the evidence.

BOY BROWNS WHILE
FISHING IN RIVER
Lad of Eight Years Tumbles
From Bank Into Waters of
the Jordan.

Slipping from a high embankment,
on the east side of the Jordan river,
near Eighth South and Tenth West
streets, at 4:30 o'clock yesterday after
noon, Charles Joseph Starkey, 8 years
old, the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph
Starkey, Is Rivers street, was drowned
while playmates stood at a distance,
unable to save him.
Early in the afternoon the lad got
a fishing pole and, with breadwinning
inclinations, told members of his fam
lily that he was going to catch some
fish for supper. When he appeared
on the bank of the river with a fish
ing pole in his hand other youngsters
joined him, and were also attempting
to catch fish. Starkey soon wandered
away from them I'D the river on a
narrow embanknent, which rises
about six feet above the stream.
When the alarm was spread that
the lad had fallen into the water
neighbors rushed to the bank The
boy had disappeared, and no one
seemed to know just where he had
last been seen. The police were sum-
moned. Motorcycle Patrolman W. W.
Griffin responded to the call, and
close to him in the patrol wagon came
Policemen Charles Olsen, w. H Hen
erickson and Driver Dan Sullivan
All equipped themselves with Crap
ling irons and dragged the river
nearly 800 yards At 5 o'clock Pa
troIman Olsen dragged the body to
shore. Efforts at restoration of life
were futile. The body was taken to
the mortuary of the O'DonnelI Under
taking company.
The mother of the drowned lad re-
Gently underwent an operation for ap-
pendicitis. Because she is still in a
serious condition, news of his tragic
death was withheld from her last
night. The father is employed at the
hrickyards

UTAH WOOL WILL
co TO WAREHOUSE.
FloCkmaSterS Close Contracts
Which Are Expected to
Advance the Price.
LOANS ON STORAGE CLIP
BOSTON FIRM AGREES TO AC-
COMMODATE PATRONS.

By the closing of contracts between
the Utah Woolgrowers' association, and
w. c. Snow, representing the firm of
jeremiah Williams q Co. of Boston,
steps were taken yesterday by the wool
growers of Utah for bringing about q.
substantial increase in the market price
OF wool. The action was taken as the
result or q meeting OF the directors
of the association last Saturday to con-
Slder proposition presented by A. w.
Elliott, who also represented the Bos-
ton concern.
Arrangements have been made where
by the Boston firm will store all OF the
wool sent from this locality at reSu-
lar storage rates for as long a time as
the owners deSire-presumabl until
there is an increase in the price. In
addition, the Williams concern will loan
on the storage clip 20 per cent of the
market value at the rate of 6 per cent
interest. The company has just COM
pleted new warehouse with a ca
pacity of 130,000,000 pounds of wool.
The advantages of the plan are many,
1t is said, inasmuch as it will per-
nit the wool growers to store their
product near the market and to re-
ceive a portion of the money which
they would receive for the sale of the
clip in order to carry on their bust
ness for the coming year. In addition
to this, it is said that the Williams
company has no Utah wool in storage
at the present time, so that when sales
commence the Utah clip will receive
first attention
At the present time the price of wool
is about 10 cents a pound. 1t is hoped
by the storage plan to bring about an
increase of from to cents per
pound Many of the Idaho and Mon
tana wool growers have Signified their
desire to include their clips with that
from Utah, and Nevada wool growers
will also join with the sheep men of
this state. The total clip of this state
alone viii aggregate close to 100000
900 pounds
