He accordingly took three dollar bills and parted a slip ;o ouch notifying the recipient of the bill ! check, it whenever it passed out of his hands. These dollar bills went the rounds and at the end or n year tlip local banks turned them oer to the Seere-tar- y wit li the records of their travels. It was-foun- that each one of these passed through some 200 hands. Following Is about the trava'.ogue story that eticli one of these dollar bills might, have told: "After 1 left you I went direct to the grocer's till. My visit there was brief, however, for a farmer ente ed the store, with a crate of eggs and the grocer turned m over with others tn exchange. I thought I was goim; to get a little trip to the country but I never left town, for my farmer friend took m( down the street ii'id turned me over to the clothi.ig deal-er. "I couldn't tell you all about, the fine people I visited during the year but I remember that one was the minister, another a wot kinsman hel;-.:- to build a new pavement tlhougr: :ti" city, another a sc!;mI teaehe, w' o v r eivd !;:, In e. ..mi;; for !.et wn'li in Instructing some of the chil-div-of our town. I also visited a doctor, a lawyer and a man wot king on the new community house. 1 spent a little time in the bank aud earned a little money for some of i iy friends.

' j THE LIQUOR STATUS - Considerable comment is being made concerning; the status of the six deputy .sheriffs recently indicted by the Federal Grand jury for alleged conspiracy in the liquor traffic in Salt Lake County. The County Commissioners have evidently failed to get any action on their recent ruling in the matter of dismisssing the men involv-ed, and the County Attorney has recently stipulated his official 0 K on the salaries of the men under indictment pending trial. There is some question at this time as to the possibility of the cases ever coming to trial, even at this writing some of the indict-- . ments have been quashed and some others are having a hard time to survive the rigid inspection of prosecuting attorneys. It is of cuirent rumor that the majority of the witnesses, on the strength of which the indictments were returned, are them selves prominently connected with the liquor traffic. It is a known fact that some of tho witnesses since the Grand Jury held its ses-sion have been convicted of various crimes for which they now are serving jail sentences. . CASE AT MAGNA. One of the alleged chief witnesses, according to statement by government liquor officials is now serving a 30 days jail sentence in the Salt Lake county jail under sentence of Judge Erward Sut--) ton. The defendant was given an option of either leaving the state or of serving the jail sentence. Failing to leave the state a com mittment was issued and the guilty man sent t0 jail. What hap-pened? Federal officers at once endeavored to link the Magna Justice up with aiding in plating government witnesses where they could not be called on for testimony during the coming trial. This action, by the government men was entirely uncalled for and unmerited. To even surmise that this case was doctored, temper-ed with, railroaded or unjustly dealt with is a gross insult to the intelligence of any thinking person. The Magna Justice's integrity and honesty is absolutely unquestionable. If the current rumors, concerning the status of the witnesses from which the government got their testimony is correct, and if these people are in the main liquor traffickers, town gossips, and other irrejsponsibles, why should the government go now in search of incriminating testi-mony of more reputable individuals? Why should the testimony of witnesses whose character is questioned be accepted to indict persons who have always conducted themselves in an honorable manner? "..3 x Officers of the law should certainly face the punishment the law metes out for the violation of their trusts, and law breaking citizens should pay the penalty of their violations. But undue per-secution by the Government or any other authority prompted by selfish motives of individuals or by organizations is also contrary to the principles of Americanism and Democracy, and if proven such is, and should be subject to charge of criminal libel. So should it come to pass that witnesses upon whose testi-mony the government secured indictments are, because of their criminality, incarcerated in jail at the time of trial, is it not bet-ter for society and; for the dignity of the courts that any such testimony that they; might give be not allowed, as being unworthy, due t? the character of said witnesses. Pedro Diuand, alias Garcia, pleaded iiilty to assault on two deputy sher-iffs with a deadly weapon, wher before Judge Ephr. Hanson in 11 1 Third District? court. Tuesday and wag sentenced to serve an inde-terminate term in the state prison. Durand is alleged to have attacked J. K. Mclntyre and W. H. Hendrick-on- , October 13, when they attempted to place him under arrest in Bingham. He is said to have fired at them. He ' was subsequently arrested by Depu ties Rosenkrantz and Schweitzer, af-- ' . ter a hand to hand combat. On Monday Chief Sorenseu and Patrolman Steve Henrdiekson raided Poals Barber SHov in t'arr Furk where they confiscated 25 gallons of wine and or.e g;ilion of moonshine whiskey. They arrested Paols, proprietor oi the shop and he is being held umle bond pending a hearing in the City Court. Harold Hardy was ai re, ted for be-ing drunk and disturbng the peace on Monday, and was later fined $25.00 which lie paid. Mcrris Hodges was arrested after a chase by Police officer Steve Hend-TlcKso-from Bingham almost to last Saturday. Hodges was charged with being an absconding debtor and paid a fine ANOTHER BIG SHOW. The card and entertainment given at the R. C. Gemmell Memorial Club Tuesday was a very great success. The affair was attended by a record crowd who seemed to enjoy everv minute of the program. The program of athletics was inter-sperse- d with musical numbers which greatly enlivened the audience. Tilt Kiwanis Quartet rendered several se-lections in their usual excellent form which always "brought tl e house clown." . . "'"KTT" mm KB CLUB MEETING VTi. J. F. FLYNN. Tnere will be a meeting at th Ki-wa- Club tonight. The activities will be for a Better Blnghera, and to establish a better cooperative disposi-tion among ail men. (This Is a con-structive modtrn age. Why should we nol be up to datein Bingham?). Bingham is one of the favorite spots In I'tah. It Is a health resort, Bing-ham secures its water from the soul of na.ure, uncontaminated, pure, cool and sparkling. The altitude is ad-vantageous fa the building of vital resources, fresh mountain air from tli. heart of nature, a climate unsur-passed, a temperature summer and winter acceptable to the most fastidl- - oub. The schools are on a par with any other community. All that is needed is to modernize our Town, meet the Btandard of other modern communities, pave our streets, construct an adequate sewer system, build comCortable and well appearing living quarters, and pro-mote community cooperation. Let us meet commercial competi-tion, create a commercial organiza-tion, cater to the purchaser In all lines of trade. We must make It pleasant and convenient for the man who foils. He la the back-bon- e of ev-ery community Wo cannot expect to exist yithout Mm. Let us invite him to live In Bingham by, using obstruct-ive modern principles. We can then fill our town to overflowing with a good class of industrious people. But we must first pave our Btreets, repair and repaint delapldoted homes and fences, make our bluldlngs and surroundings pnetentabU;. What ex-cuse have we for the condition that exists at the present time? Hundreds of men who-wor- in Bingham, are llv fng In valley towns which are less healthy, and no more acceptable than mir town of Bingham. We must change the erroneous sen-timent by positive thought, word, and deed. A proper community spirit, a desire to cooperate, boost, and build Let the sfcgan be, Live In Bingham. ,The wives of trie Klwanis members presented o mother's day program at the regular meeting of the club Thursday evening. Dancing was en-joyed after the dinner and program. RIGHT AWAY. Winter as and spring jj and still we tee no new si:;ri.- - of life along those two miles of hi'jr-wa- y just below the city llniU'i.
