U. 11 tIm victim. of vicious blackmail plot Attempt to Wring Money out of Officials Fails; Suits Filed in District Court As Retaliation; Salt Lake Acts as Attorney Spokesman of Blackmailing Gang. ; The three members of the county commission were made the f thl mS! vidous b'ack'ail themes ever m this county Saturday. perpe-trate- d Refusal to meet the demands of a gang of bootleggers by Attorney V ere L. McCarthy, resulted in suits being represented the three officials for damages of $10,000 each. Plaintiffs in theses are Mrs. tie Carstensen against Commissioner Dahlquist. Mrs Luanda Parker aga.nst Commissioner Stenacker and Mrs Beta Burger against Commissioner Labrum. Several attempts were made ho make the commissioners "pay" prior to the filing of the suits, At one, of the meetings between the representa-tives of the bootleggers and members of the commission, demand was made that McCarthy have free access to the . county jail. Other demands were tiiat C. W. Parker, husband of Mrs. Park-er, be allowed to operate a liquor . mamtfartiirintra rmtfit tuc ..- -' with) futility guaranteed immunity from ar- -' V rest, and that' Mrs. Carstensen Wal,- - ' : lowed to maintain k bootlegging joint.' When these demands together with a cash demand ,of $1,500 each, were refused, the three suits were filed. The following statement from er Dahlquist it representative of the attitude cf the members of the ' commission: - "I have just returned from Califor-nia, where I was called July 23 on ac-count of the serious illness of my brother, T. W. Dahlquist, who is under treatment in a San Francisco , hospital. ; ' , "In regard to the allegations as " made in the suit filed at the county clerk's office, I desire to state that the whole matter is a blackmail affair and "' a political frame-u- p to which I refuse pointblank to be a party. As the mat- - ; ter is now in court, I refuse to make any further statement, and the whole matter will be taken care of there." It is alleged in the suits the three commissioners went to the Carstensen home, 182 east Thirteenth' South street, and made improper advances to the three women. The peculiar part about the whole matter is that the affair was timed Parker and a son of .Mrs. Car-stensen in another room. At the psy-chological moment as in the days of the 'old badger game, the two men rush in and pretend to be highly in-dignant over the conduct of the three commissioners. Just why such places as the Car-stensen rendezvous is allowed to run vndcr the nose of the Salt Lake police department is past our understanding. The Bulletin trusts the commission-- I era will be given a speedy trial in "order that this bootlegging gang of .... blackmailers may be shown up in their true light. It is also the hope of this paper that the trial will disclose the name or names of those who instigat-ed the dastardly plot, for it is our firm belief that the plaintiffs in the suit are merely being used as catspaws by some "higher ups." fia Juana Has a MOIion Dollar Fire y, - - , - I Dnmnge estlmnted at $2,000,000 was V ...

Four other men in the truck were thrown clear of the machine, but Johnson was pinned beneath the car.

Catholic Priest It is understood the Right Rev. Bishop John Mitty of Salt Lake City if making arrangements for the intro-duction of a new priet in the Bing-ham parish, the Catholics of this dis-trict will appreciate his endeavors.
