Show "BOARD YARD" STEVE; "HOW'S UNCLE HENRY ?" There have been various Inslunccs nincc the election or 11)11 of inlHinnntiKcmcnt of the county nffalm ly the "hull moose" officials now in power In Carbon county, hut an echo of the campaign that sIiowh to what HtraltH the party litis arrived was heard last Monday when C. II. Stevenson, the hlf; thief of the "hull moose" herd filed a complaint In Justice Middlclon's court in which he sues Sheriff W. K. Henry for Hlxty-flve ilolliira and Interest for the lattcr'H share In the CAMPAIGN EXPENSES of 101-1. In brief the complaint alleges that the progressive party is and was a political orKitniMition and that C. II. Stevenson was elected chairman of the parly and that at a mcetlnK of the candidates each candidate pledged himself to contribute ft per cent of his first year's salary to defray the expense of the party and that the indebtedness in-debtedness of the party more than equalled the amount which the candidates promised to pay and that all the other candidates have aheady paid their asscsscments. Sheriff Henry when Interviewed by a representative of The Sun emphatically denied that he had ever made any promise or agreement to pay the amount stated, and asserts that the case Krcw oul of a disagreement between him and an attorney named Price, growing out of his (Henry's) refusal to do something that he considered was outside of his duty. Sheriff Henry says that the filing of this suit is a matter of PURE PERSONAL SPITE and that there Is no person or persons who can make him do something some-thing that HE CONSIDERS NOT IN KEEPING WITH THE PRESCRIBED PRE-SCRIBED DUTIES OF HIS OFFICE. The public will now see that the disintegration of the "bull moose" party Is complete. Even the complaint says that not enough money was obtained by the assessment of 5 per cent on the winning candidates salaries to pay their expenses. In fact the whole proceeding sounds like the DYING GASP OF AN AL-READY AL-READY DISCREDITED ORGANIZATION. |
