J. Bennett, deputy sher-iff, and arraigned before Francis B. Chesley, precinct justice, on Monday on a charge of issuing checks on insufficient funds. He was bound over for the district court, and bond set for $1,000. Un-able to raise the sum, Skinner is held in the Fillmore jail until the October term of court. The young man left Delta about 4 a. m. Sept. 6, with his wife and infant child, allegedly going to Modesto, Cal., to visit his parents for two weeks. They were travel-ling by automobile and pulling a trailer loaded with household fur-nishings, including a refrigerator, washing machine and record-play- - er. Skinner, who had been working for a local 'farmer, also had done considerable buying before leav -- ing town, paying with checks.

He was returned to Del-ta the next day by Mr. Bennett. Skinner had had car trouble at Baker, Nev., and had hired the deputy sheriff there to take him and family and the loaded trailer into Ely. Scouts Set Day For Fund Drive Monday, Oct. 9 At a district meeting of the Boy Scouts of America, held in the Seminary Monday night, a date for the annual fund drive was set. Deseret district has a quota of over $1400 this year which is to be divided among the wards of the stake, with each a quota and the drive will be a one-da- y affair. Monday, October 9, was set for the drive with a break-fast in the early morning, then the drive and a report that night from each of the workers will be made in the Seminary at the reg-ular district meeting. Officials feel that to have the drive over in one day will be much better than hav-ing the drive drag along for sev-eral months. It is felt that the one day will be enough to fulfill the quota and have it in to head-quarters in Provo at an early date, assuring an honor position for the Deseret district by having complet-ed its quota, if not first, then the top districts. After the business meeting the group and their wives met in the Seminary basement for a supper and reports from different com-mitteemen. Arthur Reeve reported on the accomplishments of the Scouts this year showing that the district had increased the number of Scouts by 78, which is an in-crease of 40. Ninety three were advanced to Second class, 59 ad-vanced to First class. Twenty-eig- ht Scouts received the Star rating, and two given the Life rating. During the past (fiscal year 512 merit badge were awarded. A Court of Honor will be held Oct. 17 at which it is expected 5 Scouts will be given the Eagle awards, and one Explorer given the Ranger award.

V ... ' , . i. - v - - '. t V 5 T. l $ i i Here is a family of five Millard mi, 'brothers, and all born with-- Millard county. There were nev-er any girls in this family, just ys. At one time there were six ys, but one died years ago. At 1S tinie there are four brothers, as the eldest one died during the Past year in California, his home Ior many years. 0f this family, three brothers ve live in West Millard, but only one is a local resident. Wo are county residents, with ne on each side. This gets more ana more confusing. .0ne brother has been a west e mar since 1917. From a slen- - d er youth he has developed V. and now if not portly, is at wv! SOlid' He sPent lne summer a red nose, gained from fish-- 8 trips. The same condition ap- - les each winter, from duck hunt ing or deer hunts. He is not exactly the athletic often hears of type, though one athletic equip-ment, his prowess with such as gun, fishing rod, tennis racket .irrigating shovel, etc and he is not a man to argue, but in school he was a mighty man and won ar-guments on the debate team right and left. One brother was a veteran ol World 1, and through the years interest in the has retained an American Legion. In the family of 5 are merchant, postmaster, mas-ter mechanic and bankers. Very much at ease is the young-est brother, with his feet crossed nonchalantly. And the brother so indeed, in at the top is striking, if he does a high stiff collar, even wear the knot of his tie under one ear.
