Death of Little Baby

The infant daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Jesse M. Smith died
Monday at 3 A. M. after a few
days of illness.
Mrs. Pricilla Smith just recent
tly arrived from Syracuse, Utah,
in company with her sister, Mrs.
Margaret Jensen of Salt Lake
City, to visit relatives in Snow
flake. The little one had been
named for Mrs. Jensen, making
the loss of the baby more sadden-
ing. The father arrived to- ac-
company the bereaved wife and
mother and the body of their
dear baby back home for burial.

where the breeze was blowing, and
flung himself into a chair.

The meal went on with a desultory
flow OF small talk, during which the
husband indulged his thirst freely.
Alaire told him about the accident
TO her horse and the unpleasant ordeal
she had suffered in the mesquite.
Lucky you found somebody at the
water hole" Ed commented. ''Who
was this ranger? Never heard of the
fellow" he commented on the naife.
The rangers are nothing like they
used to be-"
"This fellow would do credit to any

how expeditiously Law had made his
arrest and handled his man, her hus-
band showed interest.

"Wait! We had our understanding"
Alaire's voice was low and vibrant.
''It was my payment for living with
you, and you know it. You gave me
the reins to Las Palmas so that I'd
have something to do, something to

value, every penny is accounted for,

Austin crushed his napkin into ball

he showed himself back from the table
''It was an idiotic arrangement, just

Nevertheless, it was bargain, and

Law diSmOunted and strobe to the
prisoner. His face was black with
fury; he seemed gigantic in his rage.
Without q word he raised his right
hand and cuffed the Mexican to his
knees. Then he leaped upon him, as
a dog might pOunce upon a rabbit,
rolled him to his face, and twisted the
fellows arm into the small of his back.
Anto cursed, he struggled, but he was
like child in the rangers grasp. Law
knelt upon him, and with jerk Of his
RATA secured the fellows wrists; ris-
ing, he set the knot with another heave
that dragged the prisoner to his knees.
Next he booted Anto to his feet.
'Tve a notion to bend a gun over
your head" Law growled. 'Clever lit
tie game, wasn't it?"
"Where-? Did you-kill him?" the
woman gasped.
Alaire had never beheld such a
demOniac expression as Law turned
upon her. The mans face was con-
torted, his eyes were blazing insanely,
his chest was heaving, and for an in
slant he seemed to include her in his
anger. Ignoring her inquiry, he went
to his mare and ran his shaking hands
over her as if in search of an injury ;
his questioning palms covered every
inch of glistening hide from forelOck
to withers, from shoulder to hoof, and
under cover of this task he regained in
some degree his Self-cOntrOl.
"That hombre of yOurs-didn't look
right to me-" he said, finally. Laying
his cheek against Bessie Bellies neck,
as a woman snuggles close to the man
of her choice, he addressed the mare !:
''I reckon nobody is going to steal you,
eh? Not if l know it. No, sir; that
hombre wasn't any good, was he?"
Alaire wet her lips. "Then you
shot him?'
81 didn't say 1 shot him." he told her,
gruffiy. 81 warned him first, and he
turned on me-blew smoke in my face.
Then he took to the brush, afoot, and
] cut down on him once more to help
him along"
''He got away?"
81 reckon So"
ooh, OH" Alaire's tone left no
doubt of her relief. HE was always a
good man"
"GOod? Didn't he steal my horse?
Didn't he aim to get me at the first
chance and free his compadre? That's
why he wanted his Winchester. Say !!
/ reckon he-needs KILN about as
much as anybody know"
81 can't understand it," Alaire sat
down weakly. Zone of my men, too"
'This fellow behaved himself while I
was gone, eh?" Law jerked his head
in Anto's direction. 81 was afraid he
he'd try something. If he had"
Such a possibility, oddly enough
seemed to choke the speaker, and the
ferocity of his unfinished threat caused
Mrs. Austin to look up at him curious
ly. There was a moment of silence,
then he said, shortly: "Well, we've
got horse apiece now. Let's 60"
The stars had thickened and bright
ened, rounding the night sky into a
glittering dome. Anto, the murderer,
with his ankles lashed beneath his
horses belly, rode first; next, in a sui
len silence, came the ranger, his chin
upon his breast; and in the rear fol-
lowed Alaire Austin.

STANFORD RULES IN
CITY MANDAMUS CASE

According to ruling by Judge
Stanford of the superior court yes
terday an individual has the right TO
dispose of his own garbage provid-
ing he carries out the proper and
sanitary conditions imposed in the
city ordinance.
The mandamus action brought by
the Adams Hotel company against
the city and City Manager Robert A.
Craig tc compel the city to issue a
permit 70 the plaintiff to allow the
hotel the right 10 dispose of its
garbage came before the court yes
terday. Judge Stanford denied the
motion of the city to quash init
mating that while the city could pass
an ordinance regulating the DISPOSE
sal OF garbage yet this ordinance has
provision which makes it mandi-
tory for tie city manager to permit
one to dispose of his own garbage.
On motion of Thomas Armstrong,
Jr., who was associated with Assist
ant City Attorney j. E. Nelson, the
city was given time to answer until
Thursday
The matter was argued for several
hours yesterday. The city contended
that it had the right to regulate the
disposal Of garbage by ordinance
The city has j contract with Harry
Hurley anG claimed that he only has
the right to dispose of the garbage.
Bullard and Jacobs for the plaintiff
, argued that the clause in the city
ordinance reads that the city man
aSer may issue permit for one to
/ dispose of their own garbage under
proper and sanitary conditions and
accordingly it was mandatory and not
discretionary with the manager to
grant the Adams the permit. They
argued further that the refusal of the
city manager to issue the permit was
arbitrary, that the contract with
Harry Hurley read for removing and
