man. fo- he had less To say about the
train robbery after talking with her
than before.
Sparks has made the proposition TO
the officers that ii they will withdraw
all the complaints they have prepar-
ed against him. he will tell them
everything about the train robbery.
but he VIII not say q thing about the
matter until il Is shown TO him that
there arc no forgery or false pretense
charges against him.
The officers cannot enter into any
such agreement, and It has been de-
termined thai prosecutions for forgery
and obtaining money under false pre-
lenses shall be instituted
Mrs. Sparks says she Is satisfied
that her husband had nothing to do
with the bold-up but that he knows
the guilty parties. She has advised
him 10 tell the whole story and get
the reward that Is offered for the rob
bers. This money. she tells her hus-
band. would aid them materially In the
ordinary affairs OF life and enable
them. 10 move TO some other country
where they could begin life anew
The appeal. however, according 10 the
officers, seems to have no effect on
the man and he has evidently set his
mind against divulglng the secret.

LIGHTNING STRUCK
POWER HOUSES

According TO Manager Joseph Bailey
OF the ogden Rapid Transit company,
1t will cost about $500 TO repair the
damage that was done to the power
plant smokestack by the lightning
About ten feet of the upper portion
OF the stack was torn away by the
lightning bolt and, in order TO rebuild
the shattered top. heavy and costly
scaffolding will have to be erected
II is the Scaffolding that will call for
the greatest outlay.
The damage done TO the generators
at Willard Is quite expensive, but the
company has not determined just
what the amount will be. The work
of repairing the damaged electrical
apparatus will occupy several days but
will not interfere to any noticeable
extent with the regular traffic of the
lines.
The smokestack of the local power
house was struck about O'clock last
evening.
Luckily no one was passing al the
time, although two of tho work men
few minutes before the occurrence
were standing at the base of the stack
conyersing about the storm which had
just broken. They had hardly gain
ed the shelter of the car barn when
the bolt struck with a deafening clap
OF thunder scattering the brick aud
mortar in every direction Superin-
tendent Bailey said that the damage
might amount TO several hundred dol
lars inasmuch as high and expen-
sive scaffolding wouid have TO he
erected to rebuild the upper portion
OF the stack
Willard Plant Damaged.
Word was received from Willard
last evening that the power station at
that point had suffered from the
storm which passed over that district
and Ogden about o'clock
A heavy bolt OF lightning struck in
the close vicinity of the station and
blew out the big transformers on the
side Of the building. putting the plant
entirely out Of commission
The ogden street cars are operated
in part by power obtained from the
Willard plant. about 500 horse
power being used n day This supply
was consequently cut of from ogden
by the accident to the transformers.
II viii be several DAYS before the
damage can be fully repaired at the
Willard plant.

Further testimony in the prelim-
mary hearing of Earl B. Mitchell.
charged with grand larceny, was
taken in the municipal court this
morDinG relative to the value OF the
property alleged to have been stolen.
and as 10 whether 1t was taken from
one or more trunks.
Mr.. and Mrs David Crockett stated
that the goods in court which they
had previously identified as theirs,
end which were found in the posses
sion of the defendant in Seattle, were
stored In one trunk. and that the box
spoken OF In connection with the
trunk contained nothing but books
and pictures.
The attorney for the defense con-
tended that the value OF the property
stolen had not been proved to be
worth $50 consequently the Young
man should not be held TO answer
the charge OF grand larceny before
the district court The court. how
ever. took different view and or
dered that Mitchell be held to await
the action OF the district court. His
Lond was fixed at $500.
