E. Henzi reached a sort of climax Thursday noon when large delegations of people from Orange-vin- e and Ferron, joining with local people, met together and effected a working organization for the purpose of seeing the matter through, also electing a committee of three to go to Salt Lake City and thoroughly investigate the situation, backing them with the moral and financial support of a large proportion of the population of the three towns. The crowd had gathered upon learning of the contemplated filing of an action against Dr. Henzi, alleging the practicing of medicine and surgery without a state license. The case was filed in Justice R. C. Miller's court, the case of Arvel Snow, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Snow, who Was treated last 3ummer for injuries suffered in a mowing machine accident, being the basis for the specific charge. The complaint was sworn to by a fellow by the name of Jacobs, sent here on behalf of the board of medical examin-3rs- , it is said. Incidentally, this particular gentleman undoubtedly returned upstate with an emphatic Idea jf the feeling of indignation felt, since, d iust previous to his boarding the stage that morning he was treated to such a demonstration as .'ould not but have convinced the most skeptical. Car after car of outoftown people joined the crowd on foot which gathered about him as he vociferously Maimed his individual impartiality and jnconcern ln the matter. The meeting, which convened in the issembly room of the stake house, President Lars P. Oveson chairman of the meeting and O. Sorenson jr., secretary. Variqus people present expressed themselves spiritedly of the need for action and a motion of John 0. Snow of Orangeville, "that we effect to investigate the in organization causes for Dr. Henzi's prevention from practising and get representatives of the state board of health to come out and investigate the true situation," was favored unanimously. F. A. Kill-pac- k of Ferron moved "that a committee of three, one from each of the towns represented, be elected to go to Salt Lake City and wait upon the state board of health in connection wfth the matter." The motion passed unanimously and, after a short recess, F. A. Killpack of Ferron, Dell Peacock of Orangeville, and Edmund Crawford of Castle Dale were elected to form this committee. Subscriptions were taken to defray the committee's expenses and they will leave Monday to reach Salt Lake City in time to meet with the state authorities on Tuesday, armed with the following transcript of the minutes of the meeting prepared by Secretary Sorenson as credentials: Castle Dale, Utah, February 19, 1920. To the State Board of Health, Salt Lake City, Utah. Gentlemen: At a representative mass meeting held at Castle Dale today, representing ninety per cent of the population of the towns of Castle Dale, Orangeville, and Ferron, located in the southern part of Emery county, state of Utah, at which President Lars P. Oveson was elected chairman and O. Sorenson jr., was secretary, indignation was expressed at the filing of complaint against Dr. W. E. Henzi for practic-we ing without a certificate, while understood that he was practicing with consent of the medical examiners, and at a time when his services meant so much to us in the saving of the lives of our fellow citizens whom he has practically snatched back from death. On proper motion the following committee was elected to wait upon your board with full authority to act, to the end that Dr. Henzi be permitted to practice among us and that he remain here as our doctor and medical Fred A. advisor without molestation: of Peacock Dell of Ferron, Killpack Edmund Crawford of Orangeville, Castle Dale.

Housekeeper daughter of John and Sarah Butler and was born at Redun, Herts county, England, Hay 17, 1842. When she was only six years of age she was put to aehool to learn the straw hat braiding trade so that she could help to support She never had the privilthe family. ege of getting any schooling or learning to read and write. Her parents joined the church in early days and she came with them and four brothers and one sister to the United States in the year 1853. They came In what was known as the company and were six weeks crossing the ocean in a sailing vessel. They crossed the plains with ox teams and landed in Salt Lake City in the late fall of the ame year. They suffered all the hardships and privations of pioneer life in a new country. Mrs. Housekeeper was married to George Wilkey ten-pou- in Salt Lake City in the year 1867 and her husband went out to Green River, Wyoming, in the spring of 1867, taking and dying, leaving her few months old. She to her parents' home in CASTLE STAGE BIG sick there a baby a with then moved Pay-io- n there met Theo. F. Housekeeper, to whom she was married in the year 1869. Shortly afterward they moved to Kairview, where Mr. Housekeeper had resided previous to the Black Hawk war, the settlers having been driven out. They resided there and at Herd House valley, later known as Milburn, making homes at both places. Having been previously acquainted with J. K. Reid, one of the Pioneers of Emery county, they moved with ther family to what was then known as Castle Dale, now Orangeville, and in moving into a new country in the late fall and living in a dugout they suffered many hardships, that mter having been one of the coldest n the history of eastern Utah. Their lot was not a pleasant one. Many times cattle were found up and down he Cottonwood stream, standing in "eir tracks, frozen and starved to and death.

We made :he statement as something of a guess ind the other day we took occasion to look the matter up from the county records and found the situation to be note disparaging than we had even thought. For the year 1919 Castle Dale town, with a levy, had a revenue from taxes alone amounting o 12563.32. Huntington, with a levy (one more mill than Castle :ale) had $2205.77. In other words, Jastle Dale, with one mill less levy ind not taking into consideration the revenue from water rates, licenses, tc. had $267.77 more to do with than luntmgton.

Immediately after entering school any child round ailing in any way was referred to the principal and, if the case was suspicious, the child was sent home pending an in vestigation by the doctor. Also tne names of all absent pupils were sent to the principal every morning and, by consulting the brothers and sisters who were at school, the reason for absence were found and, in some cases, the brother and sisters at school were sent home.
