SALT LAKE CITY, Utah. February
1.-two dead mad two dangerously
wounded is the toll OF q pistol fight
in the heart Of Salt Lake City's bust

lice attempted to arrest William Lee,

deliberate and evidently a marksman,
after killing one policeman and
wounding another turned his gun

shot himself through the abdomen. He
died early today.
The dead and wounded are:
Patrolman Nolan w. Huntsman,
twsnty-six years old, killed instantly

years old, shot through the intes-
tines; expected to die.

The shooting occurred almost across
the street from the post Office. Lee was
reported to have held up cafe and
robbed 1t of about $40. and, when &C
costed by the police almost two
blocks from the cafe. started firing.
An exchange of shots followed and
Huntzman dropped with bullet
through his heart and an instant later
Honey fell. Lee walked calmly past
his fallen victim. according to wit
nesses, and stepped into an alcove
two hundred feet away with Miss
Hunter. Two shots were fired in the
alcove and the man and woman fell.
Lee wounded twice and the woman
once.
Witnesses are unable to state
whether any OF the shots fred by the
policemen took effect and the third
bullet in the wounded pair is a mys-
terry.
At the Emergency Hospital Miss
Hunter, unable to talk, wrote that she
and Lee arrived in Salt Lake City
from Ogden last night and that Lee
was q parole violator from San Quen-
tin. She would make no statement re-
garding the shooting.

A GREAT YEAR FOR SEWARD

The year Of 1924 will be a great
wear for Seward. Already signs point
to a building era unsurpassed since
the founding of the town. Workmen
are eXcayating for the big Tecklen-
berg concrete business block and for
the large Ogle garage; which with
the Benson building and the new gar
age planned by H. Z. Ellsworth VIII
give the town four new, modern
structures. The recently completed
fish hatchery at Grouse Lake VIII
give employment TO several men, and
the local sawmills and cannery VIII
use half a hundred more.
The San Juan Cold Storage opened
for the season the first of the week,
and perhaps a quarter OF million
pounds of fish already have been re
ceiyed. With the advent OF the New
England Fisheries, the pulp mill and
the Signal Corps personnel, our popu-
lation will be increased several hun
dred and our business by thousands
OF dollars.

the hest experienced by Seward, bank

Today a man told US his only real
extravaganza was flowers. He sent
them to his friends on every occasion
and on any excuse, Say it with flow
ers" to him meant literally, he felt
flowers did deliver his message.
One cannot help but feel that flow
ers do have a personality. We speak
of the ''bashful violet" Of those paler
blossoms which a pale suncnine nour
ishes; the pure lilly" which grows in
retired places, and which is so emble-
NAUTICAL of purity and virtue. There
seems to be flower connected IN
some manner with every feeling and
sentiment.
We think of Magnolia blossoms,
when one mentions the South; Eng
land is associated with the rose; Scot
land the thistle; France the lily-and
to the japanese flower is consider
ed the gift of the sun and the soil, and
has a sacred significance-they tell
their calendar in blossoms.
With them first in the spring comes
the plum, which is loved Of the night
ingale; then the cherry blossoms, the
bloom of royalty, followed by the wis
taria, the understanding iris, the peo-
nv flower Of prosperity, the lotus, sug-
I gestive of spirituality, and, finally that
Autumn glory the chrysanthemum'
which native horticulturists have de-
veloped in 20 color varieties. Holland
has always been known for its tulips,
and many stories have been written
around its mysteries.
Pasadena and Portland are two CIT
les that have become famous because
of their flowers, Portland the Rose
City and Pasadena, the City of Flow
ers. So if flowers do talk, Seward gar
dens could deliver quite message Tor
