QUEER BEHAVIOR
OF TRIO At MINT
Was Robbery Intended by Tnree Sus.
picious Visitors to Assay
Office Today?

Salt Lake City, Ja-. 27-Was there
an attempt this morning to hold up
officials in the United States govern.
ment assay office in Postoffice place,
and rob the local branch OF the U.
s. mint of gold bullion valued at be-
tween 100000 and 100000.
Police officers and government
agents have been searching the city
all day, looking for three men who
entered the assay Office shortly after
o'clock this morning with the in
tention, It Is believed, to rob the Of.
fee. These in charge OF the assay
Office declined to give particulars and
the police were also reticent as to
just what happened.
1t was learned, however, that short
ly after 8 o'clock this morning, three
men, who had been seen lurking
about the Office for the last two
weeks, entered and one Of them en-
gagged d. G. Clayton, warrant clerk
in conversation, while the other two
took positions near the exits to the
office.
The man who stepped to the win.
dow and talked with Mr.. Clayton
threw back his coat, and displayed
a revolver, and was apparently in
the act of drawing it when two 9TH
er employees OF the Office appeared
and the stranger started to ask ques'
tions entirely foreign to matters per-
tanning to the ofhce. He then backed
away from the window and the three
men hurriedly left the place.
As soon as the men departed from
the Office, Mr.. Clayton called the po'
lice and every available man was de-
tailed on the case. Mr.. Clayton told
the police that three suspicious look
ing characters had been seen about
the Office during the last two weeks,
and that watchmen had observed
them.
All Counueut tudt the men udu
planned a holdup but were frighten-
ed when they saw the other men in
the Office" Mr.. Clayton said today
1--WE are well provided for such an
emergency and the Office is well
guarded day and night. At times we
have on hand as much as 100000 or
100000 in bullion but We do not
keep any cash on hand"
Chief Grant and his detectives re
fused to give any information abou,
the matter, saying that it would
spoil their efforts in apprehendins
the three suspects; but it was admit
ted that even if the men were cap
tured, no charge could be made
against them, In view of the fact tina
they did not actually attempt to rol
the office.

TRANSMISSION SAVES SIGHT
Raymond Summer Gives His Own
Blood to Benefit School
Mate

Salt Lake City, Jan. 27.-The eye
sight of Earl NJ. Kass, 955 East
Third South street, a student at the
University of Utah, was saved Sat
urday by TRANSMISSION of blood from
Raymond Summer, also OF the uni
versity. Both men belong to the
same fraternity and both are ath-
letes. The physician attending Kass
after the student had suffered hem
orrhage of the left eye declared
TRANSMISSION as the only means of re-
storing the patients blood to its
proper quality. Summer, who is a
football player and of excellent ply
sique, consented to undergo the nee
essary operation. He was not affect.
ed badly by the operation, simply
feeling faint and overcome with a
desire to sleep after the loss OF
blood. Indications point toward Kass
speedy recovery.

GALLOWAY ATTACKS
THE "PoRk BARREL"
Texas Representative Says Demo-
Gratis Are Violating Pledge
OF Economy

washisgton, Jan. 29.-Representa'
tive Galloway of Texas attacked the
Democrats in the house today for
their river and harbor improvement
policy as embraced in the river and
harbor bill.
This bill is the same old pork bar
rel proposition" he declared. Il did
not expect anything else from the
Republicans. But when the Demo-
Gratis come in with their pledges Of
economy, did expect difference.
I'm opposed to every item in the
bill except those which would con.
tinue projects already begun" shout
ed Mr.. Galloway. Everybody knows
that the waterways have played out.
Everybody knows that freight can no
longer be carried by water. You
know that every ton of freight car
ried on Mississippi river uast year
cost the government of the United
States $780,"
A voice on the Republican side
wanted to know If Mr.. Galloway
would oppose the bill If the Atlantic
inter.coastal canal project then un-
der discussion were extended around
the Gulf of Mexico to Texas.
III l were a pork barrel politician,
I'd favor such a project" retorted
Mr.. Galloway. Not because 1t would
materially benefit the people or the
United States, but because it would
send u certain amount of money to
Texas to hire contractors and men .
That money would go into the sal
looms and grocery stores, railroads
and street car lines, and electric
light companies, and would thus ben.
eft Texas. But am not pork bar

With Counsel For General To
Secure Bail

New York, Jan. 27.-In order to
spare his old friend, Daniel Il. Sic

in Hamburger himself personally ar.
ranged with counsel for the general

Under a flag canopy in his lower
fifth avenue home, Maj. Gen. Daniel
K. Sickles, the hero of Gettysburg,
awaited today climax in his affairs
which have engaged public interest
for many months. On the one hand
there was said to be an ultimatum
from his wife, from whom he has
long been estranged, presenting the
conditions under which she would
return to his aid, and on the other
hand, there was court order for his
civil arrest in connection with his
alleged appropriation, to his own use
of $23,476 from the funds Of state
monuments commission, of which he
was chairman.
The warrant was in the hands Of
Sheriff julius Hamburger a personal
friend Of the aged general, who ex-
pressed his chagrin that duty called
upon him to act.
But he won't know that he is in
JAIL" said the sheriff, for I shall
see that he has all the comforts of
home" In the meantime other
friends Of the general were heading
a subscription lis. to meet his debt,
or to provide the $4,000 bond which
would saw from the humiliation
OF Imprisonment.

In the current issue of Farm and Fire

and superintends them himself, writes
about the value of advertising to farmers.
He says in part:
.Advertise, advertising. advertisements,

mers are catching Oh. Didn't John Pick
cring Ross hit the nail on the head re-
Gently when he told the Sheepmen not to
sell their fiockS. but to advertise their
mutton? People do not eat mutton be
cause they do not know how good it Is
when bred right. fed right, butchered
right and cooked right. Some keen or
eanization of Sheepmen is going to show
a number Of these people who are at pres

are. and by so doing will create a more
active demand for their special product.

when even the young clerk who is but be-
