FEW ARRESTS NOW IN UTAH The greatest stagnation in business busi-ness since the saloons were closed seems to be in the police courts. Locally Lo-cally Marshal Baxter is talking of throwing away the keys to the jail as a useless burden to his pockets. It may be that the lack of labor now connected with the office will necessitate neces-sitate a more frequent sprinkling of I the streets, or seeing that the town lis made more clean and sanitary. 1 In Salt Lake City it is said that the number of daily arrests has dropped to less than half the normal number before the saloons were closed. Men formerly arrested every few days on a charge of vagrancy or drunkenness now have coin in their pockets and escape the dragnet.
