BUTTER PRODUCTION
BASIS OF CONTEST
One Utah Cow Stands in Line for Pos
sible National Distinction in
Champion Glass.

With proper feeding and care, a num-
ber OF Utah cows may spring into the
butter producing champion class dur
ing the coming year, according TO J.
f., Dorman, chief of the western dairy
investigation, with headquarters in
Salt Lake. Figures Just received by
the local federal dairy office show that
the record butter production made by
one cow during the year 1913 was 1882
pounds from 1882 pounds of milk pro-
duced by Eminent Bcss, Jersey cow.

ord during the last year has gone into
the champion class.
Statistics Of the dairy division of the
department of agriculture show that
the average dairy COW in the United
States produces only about $50 pounds
of butter year, which just about pays
for her keep The records made BY
American dairy cows during the past
year are: Eminent Bess, Jersey, i132

Police Take In Frank Bowman, Charged
With Overcoat Theft; Make
Further Investigation.

The arrest of Frank Bowman, alias
Fl. +. Stone, alias James Monroe, by
Detectives Geese and LIGHTER ycster-

be a partner Of Charles lie Mars, the
50 smileless wonder
lie Mars. who was arrested Docem-
Der 90, and who confessed to the rob
berry OF the Irvine drug store at 756
South Main street, told the police that
a gun found in his possession belonged
to II. f. Stone, the name being one of
Bowman s aliases.
Bowman was arrested yesterday on
suspicion of having taken an overcoat
from the office of DR., g. a. Light in
the Mcintyre building. He was found
claimed by DR.. Light. Bowman re-
resembles closely the man whom Mrs
Wright said entered her home and at
tackled her, according to the police.
The police also believe they have evi-
dcDce that will connect Bowman with
the robbery Of s, Johnson of the Peery

jured III Starting Fire in
Kitchen Stove.

As the result of an explosion in Il
coal range in her kitchen yesterday
morning Mrs. James A. George, who
lives mt 22T kensington avenue, near

the sears which she received about her
face may disfigure her for life.

blinded, and the timely assistance OF
DR.. Robert Fisher, who was attending
one of the nearby neighbors, was re-
sponsible for her immediate relief The
explosion happened at 1880 o clock.
Mrs, George, in building fire in the
range. used damp coal for fuel and
carelcsslv left all the drafts closed.
When the fire had gained Roadway
she opened the top draft and flames
shot out from the stove. Mrs. George
was standing. bending over the range,
and the flames badly burned her face,
her hair and part Of her dress She
succeeded in extinguishing the blaze,
and as a result was also severely
burned on the hands.
Mrs. George was alone in the house
when the accident happened. Her hus-
band, James A, George, who is a
travelling optician, is in Arizona, and
her daughter was in another part of
