Show PIPED IN A PRISON. A Eeporter Pays His Compliment to the Brutal Assailant of the Aged Couple at Black's Bridge. TIN HOEHS BY THE WHOLESALE. Crooked Games to Come Up for Critical . Ventilation-rA Eeoord of Police Doings. The reportor tendered his card to Fred Haynes, the ambitious genius who undertook to put a perpetual quietus on Mr. and Mrs. John McLcren, this morning, but the reception was as chilly as a Greely expedition. He had not yet resigned himself to the sullen gloom of a prison cell and "bad nothing noth-ing whatever to say." Arrivals from the locality in which the atrocity was perpetrated have. Tbey regard the arrest by Marshal Young and Sheriff Bert as a misfortune that cheated Judge Lynch of a riotous session and the undertaker of a fresh-made fresh-made stiff. , The condition of Mrs. McLeren on whom the greater portion of Haynes' plethoric fund of brutality descended, de-scended, is still very critical. crit-ical. Dr. Worthington who was summoned to her bedside reports severe and alarming Internal injuries, while her eyes are locked as tight as the mouth of a clam. In the supplemental report of the affair, tho officers state that on reaching tho house in which Haynes had lodged himself the door was found unlocked and an entrance was effected without delay. "I am the sheriff and want you," remarked re-marked Sheriff Bert. "What for?" growled the insolent fugitive. "I guess you know,'.' chimed Marshal Young; "for beating a woman to death." Haynes saw that defiance meant serious seri-ous consequences, and without any further fur-ther equivocation slid into, his faded garments and Jtook a seat in the conveyance. con-veyance. He will be zealously prosecuted prose-cuted from start to finish, and there is every possibility that he will receive a term in the penitentiary. Tin Horns In Cargoes. Siuce the Colorado copper has ruled against the reign of tin hornism and decreed de-creed that the profligate article and worthless nondescript must "take a walk" or a term on the chain gang, Salt Lake City and Ogden have been made the dumping grounds for them, and tho indolent genius has arrived in all shapes aud varieties. The result is that the prominent resorts are stifled with unemployed but genteel bums and to rid tho town of them the department has issued a cold-blooded fiat that every one of them must find employment' or skip the limits. This order has oreate1 somewhat of a panio among the lazy' hosts,' and an exodus is promised in short order. Especially is this directed at the sure-thing limb of the "perfesh" a class of gamblers who are discountenanced discoun-tenanced by the "square set" and Uo-spised Uo-spised by all humanity as a horde that are entitled to about as much justice as would land the entire cargo in the bowels of the gloomy bastile. Marshal Young's position is one of determination and avowed purpose. pur-pose. He never does things by halves, and if the chain gang Is not supplied with pale sinew in a few days then the signs and indications are nothing more than gaunt and grinning mockeries. Decency and the respectable elements are in cordial sympathy with the contemplated con-templated crusade, and the sooner it Is carried out the belter for the welfare of the unwary pedestriau. Was It Crooked? An event that rises ubove the proportions pro-portions of an every day episode is to be ventilated in the courts and trouble is likely to breed from it. The matter has already been aired on the curbstone and in the resorts by the exponents of leisure and members of The Ancient Order of Bums and now magisterial powers propose to have "a whack at it," that the extent of crooked gambling may be ascertained. The evidence will no doubt be racy. It will require re-quire expert testimony to determine deter-mine just how much highway robbery rob-bery is perpetrated behind the fickle box. In the opinion of the victim in this case however there was no doubt. Twice, in his judgment, had he been heartlessly robbed and at the second offense he proceeded to dig up a six- shooter and with the muzzle of it confronting con-fronting the dealer demanded reparation. repara-tion. The money was handed over to him when the house entered a demurrer to the proceedings and an arrest followed. fol-lowed. An effort is being made to compromise the affair. The fraternity are all interested in it for if it be established estab-lished that crooked work predominates gambling in Zion will present a very black eye. Gamblers who are willing to take their chances and who are satisfied with the percentage in their favor are anxious anx-ious to see the matter ventilated to a finish. The public is equally anxious. It will make racy reading and may bring about wholesome results and reforms. re-forms. Will Attack It. The arrest of S. H. B. Smith on a charge of herding more than tho limit-' ed number of cows within the precincts of the city has brought the ordinance under fire and Judge Loofburrow has determined to test it before the supreme court. The dairv has made itself very obnoxious to the olfactories of the neighborhood and much interest is centered cen-tered in the result. |
