THE stock of the Ogden Coal and

from the market. The company has
been organized not quite three months,

its mines, until now it is On sound
basis, and can handle itself without in
creaslDg the number of stockholders,
hence the withdrawal.

Court. but the city does not have 10

Supreme Court can have time to decide
the matter, and neither the city nor it's
council can be considered in contempt
of court.

start yesterday afternoon that caused

the ground, cutting severe cash on
his chin and otherwise bruising him
considerably. The horse made direct
for the stable, and soon the damages
were repaired all round and 8 fresh
start made.
