THE loifllEY DID. The County Court at Its Session Tester-d- a Afternoon Acted on Impor-tant Questions. WHAT ASSESSORS WILL BE PAID. At the Heit Masting February 23d, the Matter of Enlarging the Infirmary Will be Considered. Tho county court met yesterday and put through the following business: If some frinnd of J. Brazier, an imbe-cile, will ask the probate court for let-ters of guardianship they may be granted. The county attorney reported ad-versely on tho claim of Hans Jacobsons for $.100. He claims that his wife aud child were injured by being thrown from their wagon on account of a de-fective county road. L. C. Larson, an indigent person, wants the county to send him to Oashi, Millard county. He will go. G. M. T. Brown and Peter Anderson will be sent to the infirmary. It was orderod that Salt Lake county intervene and become a party to the action of Stephen Hays vs. Howe and Cahoon, now pending in the Third dis-trict court, and apply for a dissolution of the injunction now issued in such case, and that the county attorney be instructed to take tho necessary steps to effect the necetsaiy purposes of this order. This is a damage suit for J'MOO arising from the removal by a commit-tee of the county court of a'fence which the plaintiff had planted across a county road iu Butler precinct. The parties who have bid for supply-ing abstract books to the county treas-urer will meet with the court at its next session. The action on the matter of paving ing statistics resulted as follows: The assessor to receive $1 per day and the deputies $4 per day of eight hours actu-ally spent iu performing such work. II. R. Stevenson of Big Cottonwood was appointed justice of the peace for that precinct. The January bills of the county in-firmary were on hand but no action taken as they were not itemized as or-dered. Selectman Cahoon and Miller will at the next session have a letter of iustruo-lion- s addressed to tho different road supervisors. The principal subject at the next ses-sion will be about enlarging the infirm-ary. There is need of additional ac-commodations at this institution. Court adjourned until February 23d at 2 p. m. JAMJEBHJD DP. Dragged From the Huneymoon of a Few Hours to Answer Charges of Bigamy. TW 0 WIVES IN THE CASE He Undertakes to Justify His Act With a Scandal Arraigned Before Greenman, Pacing nervously to and fro in the steel-ribbe- waiting room at the United States marshal's office is Alfred G. Jackson, a member of Cohu Bros, staff, who was arrested late yesterday after-noon upon a complaint charging him with bigamy. Tho warrant wasexecuted by Deputy Uuited States Marshal Cannon, and blows up a terrible torn-pes- t. Tho brido of au hour is left a disconsolate grass widow, however cruel the fact may be, while the aban-doned wife is bound to bo avenged. Accordiug to her legend of woe, Mrs. Jac kson No. 1 was married to her per-fidious spouse in Leeds, England, some three years ago. The honeymoon had scarce begun when Jackson, she al-leges, deserted her, and two years ago came to this city. She spanned the briney ' gulf that had been placed between them, and in Octo-ber last shu followed him to this city. Alfred, who presides at the reins of a delivery wagou, found single life a hol-low mockery, and lookiug around, be-gan to sprinkle his love at the shrine of captivating Sarah Pitts. There was an obstacle to surmount, however, and about ten days ago ho instituted pro-ceedings for divorce from his first wife, and then securing a marriage license, proceoded before Rev. Putnam, where he and pretty Sarah were married. In the meantime the news haJ reached the ear of the first wife, and she began her avenuriniz course. Referred to Com- - missiuuer Greonman, she unfolded her grievances nnd complaint was lodged. All yesterday afternoon Deputy Cannon haunted the establishment at which Jackson is employed but hewasmaking the afternoon detour and not until the shades of dusk were wrapping them-selves about the distant peaks did he descend on his man. Jackson was very much wrought up over his sudden de-thronement, but repaired with the off-icer to the commissioner's otliee where, after an interview his bond was fixed in the sum of $2,100. Unable to furnish this amount he was carted over the hill to tho penitentiary where he spent the night in durance and returned to the citv this morning. The affair is one of various complica-tions and will be productive of some racy disclosures before it has reached a finish. Jackson offers a scandalous story in defense of his action, but that will scarcely be admitted in justifica-tion of his act. He should have waited on the decree of divorce. CAPT. JACKCRAWFORD The Famous Poet Scout Chatted Pleasantly With a Times Representative Last Evening in Salt Lake City, HEUS THE HERO OF A GREAT RIDE. This Poatio Genius has Written a Numbor of Beautiful Things and His Tributes to Western Life are Charming. Last evening a man with long brown hair falling gracefully over his shoul-ders, and mustache and goatee of the same color, quietly entered the office of the Continental. He was attired in a Prince Albert suit, aud although unss-sumiu-iu his carriage all eyes were di-rected on him as he moved about. A moment later this man, Captain Jack Crawford, "Poet Scout." andaTlMKS representative were shaking bands as I'eunsylvaniaus do when they meet iu the west. Captain Crawford has been in this neighborhood for some days on official business. Ho is a special agent of the department of justice and spends a good deal of his time on the Indian reserva-tions. He is of Scotch extraction and camo to America when a boy. From the time ho landed until the war broke out his home was at Minersville, Pa., where his parents resided. Jack's pa-triotism caused him to leave home and enlist, at which time he was not 10 years of age. On account of his youth Pennsylvania's famous war governor, Andy G. Curtit), sent Jack twice from Harris'ourg to his home. Even this did not disoourago him and by persever-ance he united with the Forty-eight- Pennsylvania volunteers. Once in the field he exhibited unmis-takable bravery aud was active at tho front. Unfortunately his war experi-ence was brief as he was first wounded at Spottsylvania May 12, 18114, and afterwards at Petersburg April 2, 1805. The injuries were of such character that he was taken to Washington and subsequently to the Saterlee hospital at West Philadelphia. It was while in the hospital that a sister of charity taught him to read and write, he nover having attended school. Afterthe war Jack's mothcrdied, then his father passed over to the unknown land. The former on her deathbed asked of Jack that he would never drink intoxicating liquors. He has faithfully kept the promise and this is one of the chief reasons why he is such a popular man among many of the best people of this country. In all the years that have gone his reverence for that mother has not lessened and in one of his beautiful poems entitled "Mother's Prayers" he pathetically refers to his younger days when he made the prom-ise. For him the vast west had peculiar attractions and he left the scenes of his boyhood days and established himself on tha military frontier. From that time he acquired for himself an envia-ble reputation as a fearless aud trust-- 1 worthy scout. During the Sioux cam-paign of 1870 he was the chief of scouts for General Crook after the massacre of General Custer and men. It was in July of the centennial year that he made the most remarkable long ride on record. He rode from Slim Buttes to Fort Lar-amie a distance of 350 miles in less than four days carrying the New York Her-ald's news of the battle. Two horses were killed by hard riding and six re-lays of couriers wore beaten. The young scout received for this perform-ance 5. As a poet Captain Crawford is a grand success and to listen to him re-citing his own productions is a great treat. Ho possesses a voice that is mu-sical, whether it is heard in story or song. From his constant communion with nature he has that happy style of expressing himself in a way that is truly western. His volume, "The Poet Scout" and other poems, are pictures in which a thoughtful reader can easily catch the spirit of western air, moun-tains and freedom. What a fertile brain this man of gen-inn- . tl.ii Hnlw.mian nf the frontier. has. lie can sit down and with a given subject iu a few moments hand a poem of worth to you. His great forte lies in tho fact that he touches the heart strings of nature and avoids all decep-tion. Captain Jack has a number of scrap books filled with his productions, and some day ho will issue them iu book form, which will be a niouument to his genius. Ho has written a fron-tier military play entitled the "Veter-an's daughter," which he intends to put on the stage. ".The Camp Fire and the Trail" is the title of au entertain-ment which he gives for the benelit of the Mary Washington monument. In this generous act the Poet Scout ex-hibits tho unselfishness which he is known to possess, and appeals to the pride and patriotism of the people who revere the memory of the mother who gave to the United States its greatest son . Wherever Captain Jack is known he Factories J'tnin' In the chorus, helptn' of the) nln to swe 1; Auctioneers In tones sonorous lyln' 'bout the) goods they tell. LlUe it? No. I iove to wander Mid the vales and mount .ins green In t ie border land out yonder Whar' the hand o' God Is seen. Yes, I love the western border; pine trees wavln' In the air, Roc!;s pilfd up In rough disorder; birds everywhere: Deer in their gladness; elk In tho glen; Not a tra-- e o' pain or sadness campln' oa the trail o' men. Brooks o' crystal clearness flowin' o'er th rocks an' lovely tlowera In their tinted be;iuty growin' In the mounf alu, dells au' bowers. Fairer ptctur' the creator Never threw on earthly screen, Thau this lovely home o' natur' Whar' the hand o' God Is seen And then, with eyebrows upward elevated, Ask scornfully: "Who Is this rot scout Whose writing seems to be intoxicated?" But for such persons and their smart comment I do not care the snapping of a flnjer, I'll always be delighted and content If you but o'er my name a moment linger. The following poem is considered one of the prettiest things this child of nature has written. If a man cannot discern the difference between the city and border life in this, he is not in sym-pathy with the muse: ,WHAH' TUB HAND O' OOD IS PKFK. Do I like the cityt Stranger, 'tlsn't likely that I would; 'Tisu t likely tiat a ranger from the bordor ever could Git accuet miod to the flurry an the loud, unearthlyooige Everybody In a hurry, men and wimmin, gals an' bovs. All a nishin' like the nation 'mia the rumble and the jar, Jes' as i; their soul's salvation hung upon their gittla tnar'. Like It? No. I love to wander 'Mid the vales an t mountains green, In the bordor land out yonder Whar' the hando' God Is seen. Nothin' yar but bricks and morter, towerin' overhead so high, That you never see a quarter o' the over- - hangln' sky. Not a tree or grassy medder, not a rannln' brook in sight, ' Nothin' but bulldln's shadder makin' gloom o' Heaven's light-E'e- n the birds are all Imported from away the sea-Fa- ces meet me all distorted with the hand o' misery.

Some day he will become as famous as any of the writers of modern times. He is an old friend of Mr. George R. Shaeflerof Salt Lake and yesterday they had a pleasant chat about their bovhood days. Captain Jack gave Mr. Shaeffer a copy of his poems with the following autograph verses: The nnmel trace In hieroglyphics queer. Beneath this a wrul chirograpMc wreck; It's of more value to you written here Than 'twould beat the bottom of a check. And yet If old damo fortune hit me hard And I should be without a dollar bill, I believe If I should strike your trall.old pari, That I might s ifcly draw on you and till. If there is one thing that captures Captain Jack it is a little child. He loves them and they en-joy sitting on his lap listening to his stories. Nearly five years ago his daughter, May Cody Crawford, whom he tenderly called "Our Nugget" died. He was "particularly attracted to the interesting son of Mr. Harvey Hardy of the Midland Investment company. The poet addressed these lines to the bright boy: He"re'9 a tribute of friendship, dear Harvey, A rustic bouquet of my pwn. I fling it to yon, my dear boy, good aud true. You will learn it as older you've grown. And perhaps In the years that are coming Some chord In yo ir memory may chime With the poetic role of the wild broncho soul- Of t'lis gyp?y of untutored rhyme. Captain Jack kindly wrote tho follow-ing in a copy of his poems and pleased the reporter by handing it to him: The thought conic s to me ofton when I squat O er autograph b k w th wrlnkl e 1 forehead, Try ng my level best to think a thojght io scrawl, in penmanship that's simply horrid. How piauy folks will slow ly spell it out, A JOB F0RT1IE VAGS. An Opportunity for the Lazy Genius to Contribute an Indirect Tax to the Oity. A PICK AND SHOVEL BRIGADE. An Economical Method for Keeping the Gntters and Crossings Free from Filth. The liquidescent condition of the thoroughfares at the present time is a sloppy premonition of what will be ex-perienced when the weather clerk does turn down his collar and slides into the lighter garments of spring. The outlook is blue. It is blue for the man whose life pur-suits impose on him no end of leg work. Blue for the drayman who is forced to accept the shortest distance between two points. Blue for the man who has a sewer connection to make. Blue for the dude with the toothpick shoes and blue for the votary of fashion who must have her spring (bonuet and a new shade of kids, Supervisor Paul who presides over the streets has been among the first to detect this array of blue facts in the black setting and is now casting about for a remedy. An economist by nature, he does not feel himself disposed to recommend any policy. There are already too many things nursing at the muni-cipal crib, and to reach this some spec-ial process must be improvised. The scavenger can't afford to invade his own constautly increasing appropria-tions that have yet failed to reach a figure sufficient to keep pestilence in subjection, nor is there any other de-partment the head of which is philan-thropic enough to share its resources, so that the supervisor is left to rustle for himself. The streets all of them are wearing an unsightly mantle. Tho recent snow storms have heaped their units in guuera anu suueu uiu uaiurai channels for the of tilth. The street car tracks have raised themselves so far above the grade of the streets as to wall in the water and mud that might drift to the gutters and sidewalks in many localities furnish the basin for a miniature pond. All these things must be remedied. How is it to be done Marshal Young says the remedy offers itself at very little expense and volunteers to supply it any time within twenty-fou- r hours. At present tho jail is stilling with idle labor. It isof a vig-orous growth and should not be per-mitted to waste itself in dreams and prison reflections. A regiment of those able bodied sojurs could be re-cruited in very few hours. The dives and resorts are swarming with them. Every corner offers a half dozen or more, and many of them are raaiipit)iV,Tv if not fashionnhlv. drpsseri. Make use of them, and vagrancy in Zion will soon be abated. They are of no earthly use to themselves, and might bo utilized by the city. Provide each of them with a pick or a shovel and distribute them along the crossings and glitters. Won't work? That is, the aristocrats won't. Then, says an officer, put a ball and chain on 'em and let 'em pose as orna-ments. They do It in other cities, why not here? Tlie vag is the natural broom for a spring clean up. He is cheap ma-terial, and if the city will permit the police department to furnish Captain Paul with a few squads, the present condition of affairs that is bound to contagion and death will be remedied. Kallroad Notes. Hardly has a railroad news item about some important deal of, a big line been given to the public when it is promptly denied. The road bed of the Union Pacific be-tween Salt Lake and Provo is being renovated. Work is in progress at tho latter point. The new rails will be sixty pound steel and about 75,000 ties will be required for the forty eight miles of track. The merchants of St. Louis are hold-ing meetings to devise a plan for over-coming the disadvantage of bridge tolls at that point and the railroads are in-formed that the bridge arbitrary must be included in the rates in order to allow St. Louis to compete with other towns. The Santa Fe has given formal notice of its appeal to arbitration from the decision of Chairman Finley and the association on the redemption of the mileage tickets held by the Rock Island, (ieneral Passenger Agent Sbattuo and Oscar G. Murray are the two arbitra-tors and they will select a third. An InexpensWa Trip U the Theatre. "I took three persons to the theatre tho other night for ten cents and we all (at in tho parquet, too," said the yonng man as he straightened up after a diff-icult shot across the billiard table. "Deadhead?" asked several of the by-standers. "Well, yes and no. I had to pay a lot of car fares too. I had two ticketa, but three of us had to go." "How d'you manage it? Tell us. Such 'snap' is worth knowing how to work." "Well, you see, as I say, I had two deadheads and was going to take my wife, bnt whon I got home at night I found my mother-in-la- bad dropped down on us, and we couldn't leave her home, so I concluded I would take the two and leave them nt the theatre and go ont and play billiards all the evening. "So we went, and when I got them I asked the gatomw to let mo take them to their seats. He knew me and let me in. I saw an empty seat beside them nnd stopped for a few minutes. The re-sult was I staid through the play and it didn't cost mo a cent." "Cut how about the cfMfcXares? Did you walk and let the other t wo ride only one way?" "Not a bit of it. Wo had to take four different cars, and that made sixty cents." "Then how do yon make out that it cost you only ton cents?" "Just this way. When I got home, on the sidewalk I found a fifty cent piece, so I was out only ten cents. It foots up this way, you see: The whole performance was worth $3.60. I had of deadhead, ft of cheek, fifty cents of luck, and the ten cents that paid for the whole I don't begrudge." New York Tribune. Th llarllngtnn Route.

We remember to have seen a distin-- , griished diplomatist, trained to hold his own iu tho courts of kings, and never at a loss to got out of an embarrassing posi-tion or to meet an act of rudeness by a rapier thrust of wit, utterly put down by a small black kitten. The diplomatist had been playing with the kitten, bnt he went too far. Instead of making fun for the kitten he made fun of her, and this she was quick to see and to resent. De-termined to mark her sense of his con-duct, she at once put a stop to the game and calmly bnt resolutely placed her small person in front of the man of cere-mony, wrapied her tail neatly round her toes, and gazod at him with an air of pitying contempt. . It was an electric moment, and the rest of the company watched with palpitat-ing eagerness the Btruggle for ascend-- ' ency. It proved, however, an unequal contest. After a few moments of regard which told more of sorrow than of anger, the kitten deliberately liegan to wash her little black face, stopping every now and then, paw in hair, to give a look of faint surprise, mingled with disgust, at her antagonist. The situation speedily be-came ridiculous, but not for the kitten, and in a very short time tho diplomatist had evidently admitted himself beaten. The kitten then roso, walked to the window and placidly gazed out at the landscape, every curve in her back show-ing her sense of the bad taste which had characterized the incident that had jusi terminated. London Spectator. Something We Should Appreciate, The Colorado Midland train leaving Salt Lake from Kio Grande Western depot at 10:05 p. m., for Denver and all eastern points, has a Pullman sleeper which starts from Salt Lake running through to Denver. Passengers going over Colorado Midland can fintf this sleeper opposite Kio Grande depot after tf:30 each evening. Returning this sleeper leaves Denver at 8:o0 p. m., ar-rives in Salt Lake at 1:45 a. m. Second morning, sleeper is set off at Salt Lake and passengers allowed to remain in ear until 7:30 a. m., thereby passengers can get a full night's rest. Our people should appreciate this thoughtfulness for Salt Lake and return the compli-ment by giving this line their patronage. Not Unlikely.
