It is said the culprits seem to take delight in the piolirae of making these insulators a target for both gun firing and stone throwing and that no part of the county is immune from their depredation. Wo hare a few words to say on thia eril practice, for the general good of the public. Aside from the loss to the company there is grave danger to the public and where thesa wires become loosened, the worst of it is no one knows where the danger lurka. if one of those wires were to become dislodged from the poles and fail to meet a telephone wire, death and destruction may be carried into anybody's house or business office that a telephone is installed. It is no unusual thing to see a horse or inan stricken down in an in. staut by one of those wires touching them. Last winter wheri the wires in Balt Lake became overladen with snow and formed a connection with the telephone wirea of a section near 2nd 80. and East Mains there were brilliant flashes and deafening reporta and SO different offices safety circuits were burned out in several diatribut ing points and the people were well nigh distracted with fear who witnessed this wonderful display of natures electrical pranks partially out of control ; on the same evening a horse was instantly killed and several persons shocked. In the city the very best devices are employed to meet these accidents reor sulting from natures loidalile accident bnt out on the auiry roads where five wirea are streched and little travel under or near the wires there is practically no protection afforded the publie other than these small glass insulators placed on the poles and securely fastened ao that the current may paw along to its destinations to 'where it can be controlled. When a boy or others destroy these, the public is left at the mercy of a most potent power to cause death and destruction wherever the lightning is released and plays havoc with other wires. This la the reason our 'legislators have mads the penalty for destroying this protection ao severe if the ; . ,.y ones are found. A fine of S1000 may be entered and a term of five searslu the penitentiary alone thue affording the public some protection at least as a deteraut from destroying the best meana of safety to be had. We urge our citizens to aid the officers in checking this evil thst is such menace to public safety. If boya are seen doing this act of vandalism, they should be cautioned against the awful danger to the public and the severe penalty that is meted out to violators of this law when appro handed. mis-doin- f The southern part of this county mutt have water.

About a week ago the Salt Lake papers published the proceedings of the Supreme Court in which it hud affirmed tbe decision of a lower court again Salt Lake City for damages to an individual caused by a gate across a sidewalk, and the city officials paid about $4 .50.
