SENT VP FOR ONE THAR. Dan St. Clair, a Farmer Lad, Goes Over the Rocky Road to Jatl. Dan St. Clair was an honest farmer boy, who forsook the charms of an agricultural existence to go to the city to wear Picadilli collars and smoke straight-cut cigarettes. This morning: he was sentenced by Judge Zane to the penitentiary for a period of one year. St. Clair entered a lodging-house on State street one night In December, 1SVJ1, for the purpose of stealing, but was frightened away, and as he climbed down the outside cf the building two brawny policemen gathered gath-ered him in. St. Clair was tried by jury. Time for sentence was set for months ago, but t. Clair was sick and unable to appear in court, THE JENKINS CASE. "Will Ralph Jenkins appear for sentence?" That is the question that lays heavily on the mind of Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Stephens. It is also a mooted question with the attorneys. Jenkins is the young man who was con- j victed yesterday of rape upon the person of Emily C. Jorgenson at Sandy. Time for sentence was to be fixed by the court this morning. When the case of young Jenkins was reached Attorney Hamilton, counsel for the defendant, arose and asked the eourt to fix the date of sentence after the 17th inst., as he would be absent from the city for a few days. "I have been advised," said he, "that the jury which found this prisoner cuilty will, upon application, recommend him to the mercy of the court and I desire time t have that recommendation made." Prosecutor Stephens asked the court to increase the bond of Jenkins. "The bond," said he, "is only $1500 and I do not deem it sufficient for so grave a crime. What is to hinder the prisoner from leaving the country? coun-try? The bond is certainly not sufficient to noid him." Attorney Hamilton stated that it was impossible im-possible for the prisoner to give a larger bond. He said Jenkins was a native Utah boy; his parents reside here; this is his home and there was no dangar of his going away. The court asked if the bond waa a good one. Prosecutor Stephens said he did not think it made any difference whether tbe bond was good or not. It ought to be increased. The Court We will let the bond stand as it is. Sentence is set for November 17, at 10 o'clock. Mr; Stephens frowned and a pleasant smile trickled over the feature of Lawyer Hamilton. FOWLER WANTS TIME TO CONSIDER. George W. P. Fowler is the name of an individual in-dividual who stands convicted on two charges of adultery with Harriet May Wood and Amelia Wood, two sisters and stepdaughters step-daughters of the prisoner. Fowler appeared in court this morning to listen to tbe reading of the indictments. He is a pretty hard looking character. He wore a three-button cutaway coat of black material mate-rial and a pair of hand-me-down trousers with maple sugar stripes. He was indicted at the September sitting of the grand jury. The story of the betrayal of his stepdaughters step-daughters is a pathetic one. Tbe court fixed November 17 at 10 o'clock for Fowler to enter a plea. WILL BE HEARD IX DECEMBER. - v Prosecutor Stephens stated to the court that he had been informed by Attorney Lc Grand Young that Ben Driggs, who is charged with forgery, had written him stating that he had not received notice of the time set for the calling of his case to be able to appear In court at the appointed time.
