Detective Pender and Sheriff Bailey are at Salt Lake this afternoon and will bring back with them a man named Cole, thought to have been implicated in the Elephant gambling house COES THE SUMMER Probably the most important matter brought to the attention of the city council at ita session held last night was the bill from the Ogden Waterworks company for hydrant rentals since October 13, 1901, in tha sum of $24,434.30, which amount includes interest upon the unpaid rentals since they aucessively became overdue. In view of some misleading statements that have been made with reference io the bill and the circumstances which brought Its presentation at this late date, the Journal took occasion to look up the matter and arrived at these discoveries: The last bill paid by the city for hydrant rentals was up to October 12, 1901. Shortly thereafter the mayor made strenuous objection to paying the city's water bills and began to wage a warfare of retaliation against the company with what large prom, iaes will be well remembered. The row came ao warm aa at length to bring the whole affair into the courts and to cause the mayor to procure the passage of an ordinance regulating the water rates for business houses, factories, residences and the city, among the Items enumerated being the municipal fire hydrants. Thia ordinance was to have gone Into effect on July 1, 1903. Inasmuch aa the provisions of the ordinance were launched into the municipal law book without the smallest courtesy of consultation having been shown the company, the latter, according to Manager Kircher, proceeded at once to show its respect for the mayor and his pet measure by totally ignoring both. In addition to having fixed the rates the ordinance also contained a retaliatory clause providing for an occupation tax of 85,000 per annm against the company. Manager Kircher says that no enforcement of the ordinance has ever been had or attempted, and that he la at a loss to know why on earth the measure was ever allowed to burden the ordinance book, and that an attempt to solve the reasons therefor must be passed up by him to the citizens of Ogden, who must be their own judges. Since the passage of the mayor's famous the retaliatory ordinance company has kept on the even tenor of Its way, collecting from the public the rates which the corporation Itself long ago established. Furthermore, there has been no attempt on the part of the mayor to collect that a year occupation tax. What actually has been happening Is that the mayor haa involved the city in a lot of litigation over this waterworks matter, at every turn of which the company has been declared victor. Every court. Including the circuit court of appeal. which recently rendered decisions to that effect, has declared the contracts under which the company has been operating (the old Rothwel contract) to be valid and operative between the company and the city. This litigation haa cost the city large sums of money; and now, since this last decision, will come the costs. Also the hill for 824.484.30. The people of Ogden are anxious to own their own waterworks, bi it seems to be the policy of the present administration to postpone such ownership by pursuing tactics undertaken for the purpose of procuring political advantage to the administration.

Julius Toussont, a Frenchman, who was arrested last evening by Captain Brown and Sergeant Wilson on s charge of assault and battery, was before Municipal Judge arraigned Howell this morning and for his offense was sentenced to a term of sixty days on the rock pile. Last night, when H. A. Hedmon, an saemploye at the White Elepehant loon, entered his room in the Gaaberg rooming house, he was violently seized by an unknown man, who grasped him securely by the windpipe and then proceeded to beat him about the face. Hedmon was entirely helpless owing to the darkness of the room, which he had net become accustomed to; and also because of the surprise. Hedmon's calls for held were at last heard by C. F. McCarthy, also a roomer at the Gasberg house, who sprang into the room and there found Tons-eo- nt grasping Hedmons throat and ' beating him over the head. McCarthy succeeded in quieting Tonssont and calling for the police. The man had by this time made his escape and led the officers a merry chase for a few minutes.
