ment of the receipts and disburse-
ments was received. 1t was stated

IN DEBT.
The president said the Trust was
head over heels in debt. 1t would re-
quire s35 or $40 to clear the Trust. The
Fourth of July had been a Waterloo
for the organization, but if they had
had a square deal they would have
made money on the Fourth The pres
ident said the question now was
the board, or to struggle to hold it to-
gether. He invited an expression of
opinion on the matter
j. w. HOGUE
said he personally had guaranteed the
payment to the Utah Slaughtering
company of S1S, the price of the beef
they had gotten for the barbecue and
he felt bound to pay it whether the
Trust made it good to him or not. He
advised them to think twice before act
ing in the matter of dissolution.
THANKS.
The thanks of the Trust were ten
dered to Mr.. Hogue for the good work
he had done in getting presents from
the merchants and others for the bar
becue.
CAPTAIN DAVIS
made few remarks expressing the
view that the laboring men could have
their own way in everything if they
would only hold together Their votes
were in the majority and all they
wanted was to stand together
George Henry favored paying the ac-
counts which were due. A body of men
as prominent as they were couldn't
afford to go out of business in debt.
A NEW TREASURER.
Mr.. Kimball, acting for the Groes-
beck company to whom the Trust
owed considerable money for rent was
asked If he would act as treasurer for
the Trust and receive any money which
might be donated for the liquidation of
the debt, and it was resolved to make
an effort to clear off all Indebtedness.
The meeting adjourned for one week.
