TIE DEFENSE FUND
Liberals Come in to Aid the
Good Cause.
LIST OF SUBSCRIBERS TO DATE
the Contributions are Handed In
Hold the Fort!"

Saturday was a good day for the Old Fort
defense fund.
A large number of subscribers sent in
their names, and some prominent Liberals
were among them. The sentiment that IA
vors holding the Pioneer block takes di-
versity of forms-but it all favors helping
to fight the Bacon proposition.
One man says: 1.-THE people want the
block for park
Another: in any other country, Pioneer
square would be held as sacred soil. Don't
let it so I'd railroads"
Another: Zone hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars isn't enough for it. It's worth
quarter of million"
Another: ''Let's show that city council
that they are our servants not our mas
ters''
And still another: "nd fight on the bare
proposition to saddle that part of the town
with another railroad. It's burning
shame, and if that block is made depot of,
for one will advocate forming citizens
league for the purpose of having all the
railroad companies arrested and made to
suffer for the way they now violate the
ordinances every hour in the day by allow
ing their cars to stand in the Streets
Arthur Pratt, territorial auditor, and
Bolivar Roberts, territorial treasurer, said
to HERALD reporter yesterday that they
subscribed with pleasure TO the fund aiding
MIR. Pickard in making his fight They
were most emphatically opposed to the
scheme to take the Old Fort block, and
they favored fighting the case as hard as it
could be fought.
TIE HERALD will receive subscriptions
in an.g sum, large or small, and see tnat
they are properly expended. Send in your
names and amounts to aid the good cause.
TIE subscribers up to date are:

TERRITORIAL PRISONERS.
The Q. S. Marshal declines to pay sor Their
Borad and Lodging.

The Q. S. Marshal declines to pay sor Their
Berad and Lodging.
For some time Sheriff Fowler las been
accommodating Territorial prisoners at the
County jail, but he has received no pay
for so doing. On Saturday last he called
upon Marshal Parsons and presented oil
for $500 for boarding. Territorial prisoners.
The gentleman declined to lquidate, stating
that he had no money for such expenses
and that there was some statue which pro-
viGed that Utah county was liable for eX-
penses incurred in holding territorial
prisoners for trial in the District court
Sheriff Fowler could scarcely see the
matter 10 that light and when fourteen
'Dagos' were broughtin from Castle Gate
Emery Co, on Monday evening, he de-
cljned to receive them. In addition TO the
expense of boarding them, he would have
been under the necessity of purchasing a
large number Of additional blankets for
their welfare. The men have been herded
around the streets and fed and lodged in a
restaurant.
The expenses incurred in holding ter
ritorial prisoners for trial while Marshal
Dyer was in Office also remain unpaid.
The query now is-How will Seeriff
Fowler's action be viewed by the United
States of1ciais .-EnQuirer.

way, SO that the pupils who are not taking
part are sure to be interested.
Mr.. Ross stated that the teachers should

made their own critics.
