Show IDRAINi I PIT I ! THE COURT HOUSE Hagbert Anderson, courthouse CUS- lodian, has digged a pit for the grand jury large enough to bury an elephant, m the subterranean boiler room of the Weber county courthouse- that is, a pit for the grand jury to inspect, designed de-signed upon plans of a deep sea mari-Di mari-Di r to draw off the flood waters which stood in the boiler room two feet deep. During the progress of fho excavation work Captain Anderson has been wearing wear-ing hip boots, a la buccaneer, a look of grim purpose and no shirt at all. And in the meanwhile the basement air resounded with nautical phraseology. phrase-ology. Finally the big hole was completed today. It Is so wide and so deep, below be-low the boiler pit, and a burglaiesque hole was drilled through the concrete wall, in which an inch and a hall pipe iraa inserted. A syphon was then in stalled to the bottom of the pit and nature will do the rest "If the engineer disappears now," remarked Captain Anderson, contemplating contem-plating the flood pouring into the hole, "the public will know where he has gone- to Davy Jones." oo |
