An honest looking granger, who livea somewhere out in the wilds of Nevada, related a tale of woe to officer Reilley and a crowd of sympathizers at the Union depot Sunday evening that was , ., J :1. Jl.. l ueciueuiy cnesnuiiy in navor, and goes to show what little effect the almost daily recital of similar occurrences in the newspapers have upon the credulity or people in general. 1 he honest granger had just arrived from a long visit with former neighbors in the east and was enroute home. The trip was rather irksome and a cheerful though innocent looking Scotchman who happened to be a passenger in the same car from Omaha out, msn himv. hiliiv self so usoful in f ay the hours pleasantly that he won his the old man's heart. Corn er way into sation developed the fact that the son of the thistle was defcirou of embarking in cattle raising, and want a good ranch somewhere in Nevada. He wasn't particular about the pric il ng Now tb as it suited him. hi .est oeen granger had a ranch that he h. trying to give away in orde to escape the taxes for years past, and he assured his newly found friend that he had made a star turn in cultivating his acquaintance and saving the real estate man's divy, for he had just what he was seeking so yearningly. The other seemed elated and promised to accompany the gentleman from Nevada to his home, look over the property, aud if il suited him there need be no time lost in making the transfer. It was the same old gag. When the train reached Ogden the Scotchman bethought himself of several purchases he desired.to make before venturingjinto the wilds, and of course was short of ready money. It would be impossible to get a check cashed among strangers, but if the honest granger would accommodate him with $40. Now the latter only had $32.50 between him and temporary starvation, but with visions of the Scotchman's gold that he was soon to jingle in exchange for his farm, he confidingly yielded up. The Scotchman started up town on his shopping tour and of course he never returned. His victim waited uneasily after the first hour had passed, until a few minutes before his train on the Southern Pacific was to leave for the west when he related the circumstances to the conductor and Officer Reilley. All he received, however, was the sympathy of the former and the assurance of the latter that the mighty arm ot the law would be stretched to its utmost to bring the absent-mindeScotchman to justice, and he departed for home penniless, but with a iarge store of experience that will probably serve him well in his future travels. ver-a-ti- d Here is a Bargain.

It Will Meet The regular aaaaejaj of Coaeaaaaa anil he eteniag, Match IL, at I n at day ' i For a tew days longer toe The present necessities of our schools, their steadv growth and the continued increase of our population, warn the board that something ruuat be done quickly to provide for the children entitled to achool privilegee. The board asks for power to issue bonds to the amount of $100,000, but will aell the bonds and expend the money only in auch sums as sre absolutely nec-eseary. Of the money expended tor s will be spent building at least among our own citizens for labor, etc., thua Keeping a large sum in circulation among ua, while the remaining will probably be sent from the territory for building material. These bonds will bear a low rate of interest and the entire annual expense for the whole $1W,000 would be only about cent for each citizen of twenty-fivOgden. The present expenditure for rents is nearly two fifths of the interest that would accrue on the $100,000 ef bonde. The board regards the schools ot vital importance to a young and growing city. The class of citizens that Ogden desires will be attracted as much by its schools as by any other one thing. Children should be made as comfortable in the school room as at home and the happiest period of the twenty-fou- r hours should be that in which they are engaged in school work with pleasant and healthful surroundings. In view of these considerations we appeal to you to vote for the issuance of these bonds. signed Wm. H. TrRNER. President. Hansford Smith, w. w. nam, Directors. L B. Adams, Thos. D. Dee, J W. W.

Hobeon A Willceraon presented a claim for ej.UoS which was approved. The finance committee reported that it had borrowed 119,000 of the Ogden banks, including 1500 of Councilman Spencer and law of Councilman Graves. Mr. Allison called attention to the in congruity ic making a loan from a mem bar of the council. The last City Coun cilhad had some experience in such matters and he thought it beat to tight any of complication Mayor Turner explained that the finance committee had arranged with the banks for the loan but found that one bank had changed its mind to the This difference the extent of $1,000. two councilmen had kindly consented to make up as the committee had been instructed to borrow not leas than $10,000. Mr. Spencer stated that in case spirited citizon wanted to advance that SoOO he would turn over the loan to him. Mr. Allison said that Messrs. Speucer & Graves would be placed in rather a delicate position in case the city was not able to meet its obligation. As business men, it would be their duty to collect the notes and as councilmen they might have to work for an extension of time. Mr. Turner said that that the two notes of the councilmen could be paid ' first and the matter quickly adjusted.

Ogden Hilea aaked to make a few remarks in the interest of certain right which he represented. Ha understood that thia petition looked to the repeal of certain right granted H. H Henderaon and other. He aaked that hia clienta be given a chance to be heard whenever the matter cornea up for a hearing.

L. R Rhodes said that the Ogden City Railway company had all the rest of the world to tight in lawsuits, and all it aaked was that the city would agree not to give it any legal trouble. City Attorney Kimball said that the franchise aaked for was broader than any yet granted. Mr. Rhodee replied that there were certain conditions of money, men, cities and opportunities for investments which he was not at liberty to publicly discuss which rendered immediate action imperative else nothing might be done for months to improve the road. Mr. Allison asked if the immediate passage of this resolution would not invalidate certain other righta granted to other parties. Rhodes insisted that immediate action be taken as the town could not afford to triie with the opportunity to get an electric railroad. A town of SR),000 is still only a village and seldom has such a chance. The mayor announced a special meeting to be held tonight to hear the report of the committee on the petition of Mr. Beardsley. Rhodes said he was authorized to withdraw the petition in case immediate action was not taken and took the peti tion from the recorder's table.
