SEWER GOES BACK TO
OKLAHOMA CITY TODAY
Young Man Who Tried to Defraud
Banks of Enormous Sums Is
Badly Wanted.

1.-The case Of a. H. Sewer, who doubt
less believed he could defraud Oklahoma
City banks of thousands of dollars by
the manipulation OF huge drafts through
Salt Lake banks, is most peculiar" said
Deputy Sheriff c. 7. Warden Of Okla
hOma City, when he arrived in Salt Lake
yesterday to take SEWER back to his
state. Sewer was arrested Wednesday
night by the sheriff's office, after he
had presented large drafts at the Utah
National bank for collection on banks in
Oklahoma City.
while the cases in Salt Lake will be
very damaging to Sewer, we have a
charge of forgery against him in Okla
hOma City," continued Deputy Sheriff
Warden, ION which he obtained money
before leaving for Salt Lake. This was
the passing of a forged check for $l5 on
the Western Trust company of Oklahoma
City. When the banks of Salt Lake
telegraphed to Oklahoma City regarding
the financial standing of Sewer We were
for the first time informed of his where
abouts, and this led to his arrest"
Deputy Sheriff Warden will doubtless
take Sewer back TO Oklahoma City this
afternoon or tonight, as the man IS badly
wanted by Oklahoma authorities.

SAYS ALDEN ONCE
FEIGNEO SUICIDE
Victim of California Thugs
Mourned as Dead
Long Ago.

According to advices from the chief of
police of Portland, Ne, Harry Alden, for
merIy of Salt Lake, who was killed by
thugs on a railroad leading out of Cuca-
mOnga, Cal, last fall and whose body
was recently identified through particles
of clothing, feigned suicide in the Merri-
mac river near Nashua, N H., shortly
before coming west, seven years ago.
Alden had worked for druggists in New
Hampshire when he suddenly disappeared
The search revealed his clothing on the
banks of the MeTrimac, and newspapers
of New England lamented the unfOrtu-
nate death of the young drug salesman.
Years afterwaTd he appeared in the west
and was recognized by a relative. 1t is
the claim of the Portland chief that he
had gone under the name of Chisholm
in some parts of the west, changing Il
to Alden when his relatives found out
that he was alive,
While in Salt Lake Alden worked as
salesman for a wholesale druggist in this
city and was one of the most active MEM
bers of the Y. NJ. c. A. He left Salt
Lake to accept a similar position in
Berkeley, Cal, but later became sales
man for a Baltimore firm of wholesale
druggists, and was taking his initial trip
when he was killed.

COLONIAL THEATRE.

One Of the most popular Of the So
called Zenda plays, Beverly of GTaus-
tark," is the weeks bill at the Colonial
1t was enthusiastically received last
night by a capacity house, and bids fair
to be one Of the best drawing cards of
the season at the Third South street
theatre. 1t is u romantic play, drama
tized from the novel Of George Barr
McCutcheon. The original Chicago
production is promised in the program,
and it is easy to believe that this prom
Use is fulfilled after seeing the excellent
presentation Of the opening perform
ance.
The novel ranked among the best
sellers when it was produced some
years ago. The story is that of an
American girl who is a guest at the
court of GTaustark. The introduction
of American spirit and manners among
the effete nobility Of an ancient king
dom gives opportunity for interesting
situations, and some genuine fun that
is amply taken advantage of. The first
act is played in the hills Of Graustark.
Prince Dantan, disguised as Baldos, a
mountaineer, with a band of followers
is in hiding in the hills. Miss Beverly
Calhoun of Washington, d. c., with
her maid, Aunt Fanny, on their way to
cort and lose their way. They are
found by Dantan's men and sheltered
until rescued by the soldiers of the
Princess Yetive.
The remaining scenes are played at
the castle Of Graustark Baldos,
through Beverly's influence, is made
castle guard, but is suspected of being
a spy. He undergOes persecution at
the hands of General Marianx, and for
reasons Of state is unable to clear him
self until the last act, when he dis
closes his identity and wins Beverly's
hand.
The role of Beverly is capably ham
died by Miss Gertrude Fowler. She in
PRODUCES true American vim and spirit
into the part and won much applause
for uttering some loyal and patriotic
sentiments that touched a popular
note. Raymond Whitaker, as the hero, |
is a dashing, swash-buckling soldier of |
romance. He has an ardent manner |
and an explosive voice that is some |
what trying to those who sit close to |
the footlights. Edith Shayne makes a |
pretty Princess Yetive, and she has the |
right sort of grace and distinction of |
manner needed for the role Aunt |
Fanny, the dark maid, was capitally /
done by Hattie Carmontelle. The COM /

FIRE F|END THREATENS
Residence Section of Deer Valley in
Danger of Destruction When
Two Conflagrations Rage.

NSpScldl 10 Inc Herald Repu bl1can.)
Park City, Feb. 6.-Complete destruction
of a portion of the residence section of
Deer Valley by fire was narrowly avert
ed this evening by prompt work on the
part of residents of the place In some
unknown manner the house occupied by
John Wheeler and Don Ivey, a one-story
frame structure, caught fire during the
absence of the occupants and was burned
TO the ground at about 1880 o'clock. Ivey
was working at the Silver King mine at
the time and Wheeler had just finished
his supper and gone out for a short visit.
1t is supposed that a pair of overalls and
a shirt which were left behind the stove
to dry became ignited and in turn set fire
to the building. The structure was owned
by Thomas Lowry. The loss, including
clothes and personal effects, will be about
$500.
While the fire was in progress, Mrs.
Peter kearns, who lived three doors away
from the burning structure, became eX-
cited and set fire to some lace curtains
with a lamp which she held in her hand.
This building was saved by tearing down
the curtains and ripping up the carpet,
which also caught fire. There was no
water within 500 yards, and the fire was
kept from spreading only through heroic
work.

He brought DR.. Smith back with

sounded louder to pneumonia.

Provo, Feb. 6.-Tests have been made
here of smudge pots to determine their
effectiveness in preventing injury to fruit
from spring frOsts, and the expense of
their operation and further tests will he
made this week at the farmers school,
conducted at the Brigham Young univer-
Sity.
A coal heater and an oil heater have
been tested and the expense of operating
them is about the same. The coal heater
consumes about forty pounds of coal for
an eight-hOur fire, which will cost about
10 cents. The oil heater consumes about
a gallon and a half of crude oil, which
costs about the same as the coal. From
seventy-five to eighty heaters will be
used on an acre of orchard. The tests
made here showed the temperature was
raised from to Il degrees by the arti-
fetal heat.

money with which to purchase heaters
without interest for six months if de-
sired in order to assist in saving to the
