HORSE AND SURREY
ADORN HILLSIDE
Police Have Difficulty in Rescu1ng
Animal and in Later Driving
It to Livery Barn.

Hitched TO a heavy surrey, bay
horse was found lodged on the hillside
near the Warm Springs last night, The
problem of how the animal got there
with the surrey did not concern
Mounted Patrolmen H. A. Calton and
j.. A. Conyers so much as the one OF
how to get him down. He could no.
be backed out, any more than he con'd
be driven ahead. Finally the patrolmen
unhitched the horse and lowered him
over the face of the ledge by using the
harness as a cable. Patrolman A. c. Hus-
bands, who drove the mounted men out
in one OF the police automobiles, gave
suggestions and lent hand.
With the horse on level ground, the
task of getting the surrey down was
soon accomplished 1t was taken apart
and reassembled after the pieces had
been lowered. Then the horse was re-
hitched AS the bride was gone, the
horse apparently having pulled 1T off to
free himself after having been tied to
a hitching post, it was impossible 10
drive him to town They led him--bc
hind the automobile. That procedure
was almost as interesting as what had
gone before, according to those who per
sonally conducted the leading,
Patrolman Calton sat in the surrey
with the whip. Patrolman Conyers in
the back seat Of the small automobile,
holding to n strap attached to the
horses neck, Occasionally the horse
baked in spite of the whip applied by
Calton. Then the engine of the auto
mobile would Fklck" and the horse,
frightened by the back firing explo-
SONS, would back Up, pulling the ear
Occasionally he would lung forward
and for few blocks the automobile
and horse would engage in a wild tan
dem race. Finally the horse aud sur
rev were landed at the barn of the Salt
Lake Livery IL Transfer company and
left there for the owner. who Mt late
hour last night was unknown.

LOCAL BULL MOOSE
HOLD STREET MEETING
Miss Alice Carpenter, Club
Organizer, Outlines Princi-
pies of Party to Crowd.

That the Progressive party was formed
last year as a new party and that there
never was, and is not now, any inteh-
ton OF returning TO the Republican
ranks. was the statement made last
night by Miss Alice Carpenter. Bull
Moose speaker. who addressed crowd
OF at least 500 persons at Second South
and Main streets. Miss Carpenter spoke
in an automobile, and the sight OF a
woman spellbinder discussing politics be-
tween campaigns drew large crowd
Most Of those who stopped were drawn
by curiosity, but they stayed from In
terest held by the oratorical spell OF
the Boston woman.
Miss Carpenter, as organizer OF Pro-
gresslve party clubs, Is touring the
suffrage states Of the west in an effort
TO stir I'D enthusiasm. She plans 10
make another street-corncr talk tonight
at the same place. Last night she dis
cussed recall Of Judges. the tariff, work .
lnsmen's rights and the the necessity rsa oil
everyone becoming a Bull Moose. The
Keynote sentences Of her address follow:
Free trade is impossible In this
country because highly ypaid Amer
lean workingmen would be thrown
into competition with foreigners VINO
work for oue-third OF their salaries;
but the American people are strong
" opposed to the Republican party's
high protection.
This IS the only country IN the
world without a workingmau's insur-
ance act The Progressives stand
for such laws and for employers La
bility acts that really make employ
ers liable,
Corrupt Judges should be recalled.
No monarch of Europe has the power
to dictate 10 his people what their
laws shall be- while here in America
one supreme judge often decides that
O law Is Unconstitutional. directly
against the expressed will OF the peo-
pie.
The Progressive party Is not the
result OF fight between Taft and
Roosevelt for the presidency, 1t is
the result Of a tight for principles,
waced for many years by the pro-
cressive element i'm the party.
