"HERE is a neat little wound along
the right side of the nose Of
James Sabine, pauper clerk; and
thereby hangs a tale.
The pauper clerk, as a result of his
work, is a good deal of a probation Of
ficer, special policeman and detective
all in one, while investigating claims of
the poor in seeking aid from the cOun-
ty. Last Saturday Mr.. Sabine stun
bled onto a case which he thought
should be investigated; so he started a
little sleuth work. The principals were
a woman and her child. Mr.. Sabine
thought the woman should be taken
before the chief of police for inquiry,
and, after finding her, started with the
mother and babe up State street, the
baby in a gO-Cart.
The mother didn't quite scent the
trend of things until she got uptown
and then she rebelled. She threatened

WOMAN FIGHTS CLERK

to bolt, when Mr. Sabine took hold Of
the gO-cart and told her he would take
the baby, at least, believing the mother
would certainly follow. But almost as
soon as he laid hands on the handle
of the cart, the mother swoOped down,
pulled the youngster from the cart and
sped off down the street. There was
a slight mix-up between the clerk and
the woman, and yesterday Mr.. Sabine
wore the scar of a left-handed woman
on the side of his face.
But ne still retained the go-caTt, and
found in it a pOcketbOOk containing a
silver dollar. Mr.. Sabine has no need
for the gO-cart, and his conscience will
not allow him to NEEDLE with the dol
lar, so he has both go-cart and dollar
slowed away awaiting the reappear-
ance of the woman.
But the pauper clerk is still wonder
ing what he would have done if the
mother had left the babe. too.

VIEW if any of those who attended
the first performance at the Mis-
- sion theatre Saturday night real
lied that they witnessed a near trag-
edy, and that it was only the rare pres
ence of mind of the performer that
saved him from a horrible death. As
it was, it became necessary to summon
a surgeon to attend to the injured man.
The incident happened near the close
of the first performance as Herr Alder
was finishing his act with the ten big
polar bears. While Alder was Wrest-
ling with one of them, the animal sud-
denly gave a low grOwl and the next
second sank one of his long teeth at
least two inches into the right leg OF
the trainer in the fleshy part between
the thigh and the knee. Alder had
presence of mind enough to fire a blank
cartridge into the face Of the animal,
who released his hold for a second, and
then attempted to renew the attack,
but without success, as a second blank
frigh.ened him into submission.
After the second performance Herr
ALDER stated that he could not remem-
Der how many times he had been bitten

Animal Trainer Has Narrow
Escape From Horrible Dealt,

or scratched during his fourteen years
as an animal trainer. Three weeks ago
he was released from a Seattle hospital,
where he had spent two weeks is the
result of one of the big bears sinking
his teeth between the shoulders. The
wound was so deep that the lungs were
exposed and for a time it was thought
he would die.
ooh, no, l am not afraid of them.
said the trainer. "Why, I do not be-
lieve that my life would be worth a
cent if those animals thought for a
second that 1 feared them. 1 have
been an animal trainer for fourteen
years"
Alder stated that while giving a per-
Torrance in Spain he was compelled to
shoot and kill a bear, and had SINH
lar experience in Germany three years
ago. The polar bears are imported from
northern Siberia. At the present time
he has fourteen bears with him, ten OF
which he uses in the performance and
four which he is training. Six more

and will be kept there until he reaches

police circles as Razor Jack, -
an ex-convict might still have a chance

Mrs. Mary Richardson, Sc years of age,
tried to defend him in police court yes
teTday afternoon, even after he had
beaten her with d hammer at her home
ia No. CAB East Fourth South street
several days ago. The aged woman
was made to admit that she had been
terribly abused by her son, and Judge
j. NJ. Bowman found him guilty. He
will be sentenced today.
The story of the devotion of Mrs.
Richardson to her son is one of unfal-
tering mOtherly love, and when she be
gan to tell the court in a voice which
bore the tremor of old age, that she
stin had hope for him, tears came to

ARE LOOKING FOR
MISSING AID" MAN
H. C. Francis Alleged to Have
Taken Money Belonging
to Other People.

]. Edward Taylor, state horticultural
inspector, would be grateful if some one
would locate for him one II. c. Francis,
an advertising man. Inspector Taylor
deputized Francis and another man to
produce a program for the convention
of the State Horticultural association,
which is 60 meet today.
The program was arranged, and II
had something like $500 worth of ads
in it, but collections were started yes
terday by Francis; and at the end OF
the day it is claimed that he had not
returned with the money, said to be
somewhere about Sl82.
Mr.. Taylor and DR.. E. G. Titus, en-
tomologist at the State Experiment sta
ton, and two deputy sheriffs hunted for
Francis last night, but could not find
him. Mr.. Taylor states that should he
fail to put il an appearance today, a
warrant will be asked for his arrest by
him.
This morning Professor Titus and In
spectOT Taylor will attempt to collect
money on the program, several mer-
chants having bought space in it. The
proceeds will be used to defray the eX-
pense of the horticultural convention.
They claim that advertisers are getting
their moneys worth, and that there is
nothing wrong with the program.
The program was printed by the Mel
ton Publishing company. Robert Skel-
ton first warned Taylor that the deal
did not look right, and the inspector i'm
mediately communicated with Sheriff
Sharp, who detailed Deputy Sheriffs r,
L. Eddington and Andrew Smith on the
case.
Mr.. Taylor said last night that he
would stop payment this morning al
the banks of any checks collected by
Francis.

WOMAN TRIES SUICIDE
Heartbroken Because Husband Failed
to Kiss Her Good Night, Drinks
Poisonous Dose.

Because her husband failed to kiss her
good night as he went to his work last
evening, Mrs. Fred Watt, young vile OF
a fireman on the Denver & Rio Grande
railway, attempted suicide by swallow
ing ~ ounces of ergOt. While in the
emergency hospital at police headquarters
the young woman told Police Surgeon F.
B. Steele that it was the first time in her
memory that her husband had been cross
TO her, and that it was unbearable to see
him leave home without the customary
farewell kiss.
Neighbors heard cries from Mrs. Watt
after she had taken the poison. They
found her struggling on a couch, unable
to speak. The police we're called and the
young woman rushed to the emergency
hospital in an ambulance. Later she was
able to take a street car home, in COM
pany with her husband, who had been
summoned.

MINISTERS TO LEND AID
Clerks Are Being Backed in Early
CLOSING Movement.

The movement started by the Retail
ing of stores on Saturday night, has
attracted the attention of the Minis
terial association, it appears, and prom
Uses to be materially strengthened in
the near future. Officers of the Clerks
association stated last night that the
proposition of compelling the clerks to
serve in stores from early in the morn
ing on Saturday until late at night was
not a wise one, and it was earnestly
hoped that the matter could be taken
up by every association and pushed to
conclusion in a way that would
greatly improve the condition of the
clerks on the last night of the week.
1t is pointed out that in many cases
customers go to the moving picture
shows early in the evening, and come
to the stores later to shop. This does
not appear fair to the people behind
the counters.

FREIGHT CARS ARE
BURNED At MURRAY
Rolling Stock Valued at ST, 800
Is Consumed BY
Flames.

Twenty-Five Denver & Rio Grande box

| trucks yesterday morning on the Murray
! siding. ONLY one of them was loaded,
containing ore belonging 10 the american 7
| Smelling & Refining company. II was OF
a low grade silver and gold deposit, ana
could not be injured.
Belief is entertained by the railroad Of
ficials that the fire was started by tramps
who took lodging in one Of the box cars
late Sunday night.
The fire was not discovered until the 6
o'clock Rio Grande passenger train passed
the Murray siding. TWO OF the oOX cars
were then in flames. A report was sent

fire department at Murray. while re-
lief train was organized in the d. az K. g.
yards in Salt Lake, under the direction
of Assistant Superintendent Z. w. KING.
BY the time the relief train arrived, con-
tanning fifty employees of the Rio Grande,
armed with buckets and emergency
pumps, all Murray had organized itself
into a fire department. Water was show
cred on the burning freight cars from
more than lee feet Of hose, and every
thing possible done to fight th5 flames.
With the reinforcement Of the railroad
apparatus and its fifty men Superintend-
eut King took personal charge of the
fight. But the flames were not material
