MIR. HENSON's BLUNDER.

We learn with genuine regret that
Mr.. Matt Henson. who accompanied
Commander Robert z. Peary to the
North Pole has permitted himself 20
show the bad Judgment OF criticising
his superior officer. This can not do
him any possible good. The trouble
about the whole matter In our judg-
ment Is that there has been too much
egotism shown in this matter. Mr..
Henson should know that he is only
a part Of a machine and that he was
no wise in a class with Commander
Peary.
Some OF his misguided friends have
gone SO far as 90 suggest that honors
be voted 20 Mr.. Matt. Henson by the
Congress Of the United States when
IL seems well nigh impossible to get
honors voted 20 Commander Peary
himself by the same body. But II may
be well TO quote the report. Here

times l actually saved his life. think
ne should do more than he has. IL is
an on account of his selfishness. He
wants everything for himself. and
evidently begrudges me what little
success may be having with my
lectures"
II may be that Mr.. Henson's activi-
ties are embarrassing Commander
PHary and it may be that the action
of Mr.. Henson was taken without
his chief, when the latter
was in the midst of one OF the most
merciless contests with the Cook ad-
herents ever Known IN the history OF
the government.
We noted though that Command
or Peary was not giving Mr.. Henson
the recognition in his magazine arti- 1
cies that one would naturally expect :
that he would do and we did not
know whether it was the result of
editing or an Intentional slight. SIN.

~ short terms in the Utah penitentiary
and that of Idaho, is under arrest at
Hood River, Ore, for q murderous as
sault upon John May in a card game at
the Pastime saloon, Bull, Ida, on
March 20.
Possessed of his old-tirne desperate
ism, Phelps headed a gang OF thieves
aud highWaymen into Bull early in
March to Prey upon goIdseekers trav-
ellng into the new mining camps at Jar
bldge. Several members of the gang
are said to have been imported from
salt Lake by Phelps, who since his par
don from the Utah state prison has
been known as the high priest of inter-
mountain yeggmen, skillfully evading
the authorities.
phelps was in Salt Lake last Septem-
Der and took a gang of desperadoes,
VINO had been in hiding in this city, 10
Elko, New, where they committed
scores of burgiaries and holdups. To
escape Nevada authorities the gang re-
turned to Salt Lake, with Phelps MAX

His latest attempt to organize a gang
to prey upon Jarbidge goldseekers al
first is said to have met with big re-
suits. His gang had been in hiding in
retreat twenty miles out of Buhl. on
the Jarbidge trail.
Shortly prior to March 20 Phelps came
into Bull, with his pockets bulgine
with money, believed to have beer
stolen from gOldseekers, and entered
into card game at the Pastime boo
room in Bull. He played against Johr
May, who seemed to be unusually
lucky, and who soon had much OF
Phelps loot in his pockets. Phelps be
came enraged and, leaping upon Nav
stabbed him several times in the abdo
men with dirk. Then forcing othel
inmates of the gambling den to hold I'LL
their hands, Phelps made his escape.

Salt Lake when he was a bartender al
the old Senate saloon. John Egan, who
was believed to have considerable
money, called for a glass of beer. As.
sisted by Jesse Mcmillan, Phelps put Z
deadly poison ia the glass and Egar
dropped to the floor unconscious. He
died shortly after Phelps and Mcmillan
had relieved him of his wealth.

BURGLARS CALL ON
ORPHEUM MANAGER
Mrs. C. N. Sutton Wears Gems
on Stage While HOuSebreak-
erS Hunt for Them.

Equipped with master latch keys,
Woodruff apartments, in Second East
street, Monday night and entered the
rooms OF c. ~. Sutton, manager of the
Orpheum theatre. They rified trunks
and wardrobes. securing jewelry esti-
mated to be worth over 500. Their
methods OF operation show them to be
thieves of the higher class, no lock
being too difficult for them to open.
During the evening Mr.. Sutton and
his wife had been at the Bungalow the
atre, where Mrs. Sutton (Rosa ROma)
is playing in when We Were Twenty
One" Returning to their home after
the play they were astonished to find
that doors leading into their apart
ments were unattached. There were
marks about the keyhole. The locks
are of a kind difficult for a burglar to
pick, but these adopts seem to have
opened them after only a few trials.
In the apartments trunks were I'M
locked without breaking locks or ap-
plying a Jimmy" which is too crude
burglar tool for the really expert yegg-
man. They took only articles Of highest
value. In many instances they over
looked jewelry Of the less valuable sort.
Luckily Mrs. Sutton was wearing her
best jewelry in the play Monday night.
Her beautiful diamonds and pearls have
attracted much admiration among the
theatregoers, and are very valuable. De-
tectives detailed to catch the burglars
believe that the miscreants saw Mrs.
Sutton's gems when she was wearing
them on the stage and that they bided
their time to make an effort to steal
them
