.PR|NCESSES LOCKED
IN DARK DUNGEON
Children in Cellar Playing
Story; Mother Searches
Frantically for Hours.

While Cleo Anderson, three and one
Helen Foster, six, were playing at be-
ing imprisoned in dark dungeon by n
cruel brigand who had taken their fair
captivcs from the palace Of fairy
prince and lodged them in a cellar OF
the Anderson home, 225 North West
Temple street, the parents Of the two
tiny romancers sought frantically for
them for more than four hours
The children were missed at o clock
in the afternoon. Not until O'Clock
were they found. In the meantime the
cellar door was thrice locked with the
seal of childish Imagination and might
not be opened until the place should
be made to ring by tho blows Of the
rescuing prince from without.
OF course the brigand knew
where the two little princesses
were, for he had visited them
often in their dungeon, descending
thence through trap door and down
winding stairway-stairways In an
cient castles always wind-but even If
the brigand had known that the
mammas of the little princessc5 wers
searching frantically for the children
he would have been a very unbrigan1-
hyster:eal pair Of mothers OF where
he had concealed the objects of their
search.
Besides. the brigand was determined
that not even the fairy prince
should find the prisoners until he had
won the love OF one and his favorite
henchman the other Of the princesses
and the marriage had been solemnized
by a priest named Friar Tuck, VINO
was also prisoner within the castle.
Bravely the mothers hunted for a
time alone. Then they sought the aid
of the police, but without avail. Moth,
ing could be found Of the children.
Finally Mrs. n. H. Anderson remem-
bered the cellar. Shortly came the
pounding on the door that was to an
nounce the arrival Of the prince,
Trembling with excitement and
wonder that play prince should have
delivered a real drubbing to the door of
the dungeon, the children hastened to
undo the fastenings.
sdod Psle outside aad frFfGng F2T gnss Sne and
geon keep were both forgotten when
mamma turned still paler and
tainted away. Even the brigand
disappeared up the winding stairs and
pulled the stairs after him as the two
erstwhile prncesses, now frightened lit
tie girls ran for glass of water.
Later, when they learned Of the
worry that their trip to the world
of childish romance had caused two
very repentant little girls were tucked
into bed and waited by the sandman
to another land Of dreams.

RAIN INCREASES
DANGER OF FLOOD
City Has Crews on All Streams
and Situation Is Not Con.
sidered Dangerous.

Last nights rainstorm added to the
danger OF floods from the mountain
streams. which have grown turbulent
weather The water was higher in Par
leys creek Emigration canyon stream
and City creek yesterday than for any
time this year.
Alive to the danger. the street depart
ment OF the city is maintaining crews
on each stream to watch the progress
OF the water. ready at a moments no.

which is being cleaned at present. was
placed in condition late yesterday to
carry flood water II it becomes necessary

has been put into commission and II is
believed the city has the situation fairly
we'll In hand.
City creek developed into bigger
stream than tue numerous intake pipes
of the water system could handle yester-
day and the first surplus overflow OF the
season occurred. The viaduct down
however, and will be able to handle all
the flood water from that creek, 1t is
claimed
The effect OF last nights storm is apt
10 be felt today In an unprecedented rush
of water from every canyon along the
watershed. The street departm ent OFF,
eials have been laying their plans for
defense for several days and they are
confident that no consequential damage
to property will result,
The farmers along Jordan river took
the flood question into their own hands
Yesterday by diverting part of the river
down the surplus canal. The city re-
fused Monday to take any part in the
diversion of water between the river ard
the canal owing to the stand taken by
the city attorney that the city has no
right TO meddle In the mater. but the
key to the headgate at the mouth of
the canal was turned over to the farm
ers. with instructions to use their own

wool season. Yesterday he was in con-
ference with a. S. Erickson, agent here

Hotel Utah. When seen there last night
he said
There is an uncertainty in the wool
business as there is In some other
lines Of business that will last until
We see what the national congress is
going 10 do. We are here 10 buy

Is a difference between an unces-
tainty and an uneasiness, An evil
dence OF the wariness OF woomen Is
to be seen In the fact that wool has
not been contracted this year. al
though at this time last year fully
10 per cent OF the Utah crop had been
contracted. thus giving the producer
the use Of the money during the late
winter and early spring.

Bccoming entangled in web OF con-

commission failed to settle the Inspection

The maneuverlngs on the question yes

chess game with Commissioners keyser

other commissioners acting in an advis-

automatic regularity by counter motions
By. Commissioner Morris and the latter's
attempts TO file the ordinance met with
equally successful opposition.

Somewhat at Sea.

Commissioners w II. korns voted at all
times with Commissioner Keyser and
Commissioner Henry w, Lawrence al
ways lined up with the street commits
sioner. Mayor Samuel c. Park voted for
the most part with Keyser, but sided
with the opposition when the motion
came up to continue the matter one
week His reason for this was that the
various amendments and re-enactment OF
city ordinances effected by the proposed
transfer practically amounted to new or
dinances and ought 10 go over one week
as usual
At the conclusion of the interesting:
though perpleXing, contest each OF the
commissioners admitted himself TO be
somewhat at sea as TO what II was all
about. The meeting table was literally
strewn with ordinances. amendments,
motions and resolutions, all tending to
clog the original intention Of the ordl
nance introduced three weeks ago by
Commissioner Keyser calling for the pro-
posed transfer OF inspection power.
When the original ordinance came up
for vote Commissioner Norris pre-
sented an opinion from the city attorney
that the ordinance was not valid. as II
couflicted with other ordinances and even
the state statutes. For this reason he
moved 10 file the ordinance, which
amounts 10 killing il

All Fools Dav.

When freakish April lifts the latch
all wits and wags consider themselves
free to vent their nonsense upon the
victims whom they would fool by their
tricks. The gay Partisan calls such
April fish," in bonnie Scotland on
this day they make merry hunting
the gowk," whilst in England and this
country a man keeps a sharp lookout
lest he be caught at disadvantage by
the joker who glories in his smartness
IL he only can make some one look
ridiculous. But 1t is just as well not
to be too smart. The boomerang has
a wicked habit of coming back. Silly
as All Fools day custom may seem to
the solemn, it has an ancient ancestry.
Its origin is obscure, but somewhere
from the far-off times when those old
Romans felt the lit of the vernal equi-
nox, and went on the spree accord
ingly, comes this rollick which still
trills forth its merry ditty In our
streets. Deeper still, the calm, con-
templative Hindu, for some reason or
other, from time immemorial has gone
a-fooling on the first of April. 1t was
probably from France, whence all
things vivacious come. that Europe got
the unruly itch for turning this day
into a comedy Of errors.
