Tomorrow night the case of Weber
county VS.. John A. Boyle, treasurer,
comes up before Judge Rolapp for
hearing on an order to show cause why
the defendant should not be restrained
from paying the county warrant drawn
for $1,000 in favor of the Commercial
National bank.
The details of this strange suit have
been published before. Briefly told
the point is raised by County Attorney
Weber that the county commissioners
had no right to issue notes, and thus
create an Indebtedness for the county
TO pay. This $4,000 warrant was is
sued to redeem a $4,000 note That
the borrowing of the money and the
issuing of notes making Weber county
liable were functions which the COM
miSsionerS do not possess, and did not
possess as selectmen, has been urged
time and again by this paper. That
the county commissioners got the money
and diSbursed it there is no question
This latter being true. it would seem
as though the duty of the county is
clear. Weber county got $4,000 of the
banks money and spent it. So far as
known no citizen protested at the time
that the deal was not legal. No mat
ter what the technical illegalities of the
affair it is at least true that Weber
county borrowed about $52, 500, and
lent at least $4,000 in this manner
If anything intervenes to prevent the
county from paying the money it will
look to many people like open repudi-
alton. The county cannot afford to
refuse payment for value that it has
received.

A Row at Frisco.

Frisco, Utah, Dec. 26.-George Parks
struck John Martinson with a bill

Martinson's injuries will result fatally
Parks was engaged in playing pool
in Mcleod & McAulay's saloon, and

began getting the balls together, pre-
sumably with the intention of himself
engaging in a game.
When Parks noticed MartinSon's ac-

across the head, and after Martinson
fell, he picked up a chair and struck
him with it. Martinson is a Finlander

Deseret, Dec. 25.--A safe in the Des-

night, and, as near as can be found
out, at this writing, about $50 in cash
was taken and two overcoats. 1t ap-
pears that the burglars first visited the
blacksmith shop owned by Sam w.
Western and pried open a window and
took out brace and other tools, with
which they drilled holes in the safe
door, after which they piled several
sacks of flour, lucerne seed and some
cloth against the door which was COM
pIetely blown off the hinges They
must have been in a great hurry, as
they left some greenbacks and checks
in one of the drawers of the safe. Sus-
picion seems to rest upon three men
who were here a few days ago selling
pants, razors and other articles of mer-
chandise. If this is found to be cor
rect, they will be arrested and some
other burglaries likely be brought to
light

self in Grand Valley.
Grand Junction (Colo.) News: Hon.
Benton Canon last week completed the
sale of the justly celebrated Crawford
orchard and farm in the upper end of
the valley. The purchaser is Mr.. F. G..
Bailey of Pittsburg, Pa, a brother of
the general passenger agent of the
Colorado Midland railroad. Both gen.
tlemen were here a few weeks ago, and
both have thoroughly investigated the
fruit localities, not only in Colorado,
but in other states, and the purchase
made is the practical result of their
widespread investigation. This farm
lies in the locality of the very first at
tempts at fruit raising and was started
by Governor Crawford. 1t contains 800
acres, 20 of which are set to fruit, and
was one of the few orchards in the
valley which boosted a full crop this
year. The price paid was $4,000, one
half cash and balance on short time.
One of the strong points made by Mr..
Bailey in favor of the Grand valley, is
the fact that the supply Of water for
irrigation far exceeds the land which
can ever be irrigated, and this state
of fact does not exist in any other irri-
gated locality, and these gentlemen
freely said that no other country was
possessed of the prospect for brighter
future than does the beautiful Grand
valley.
The price paid was below the actual
value and consequently was an excel
lent bargain. Mr. Bailey will take per-
sonal possession of his purchase March
list, and will give it his personal super
vision thereafter. He proposes to large
ly increase the orchard and vineyard
and otherwise add improvements. I'm
derneath the entire farm are two or
three veins of the finest bituminous
coal in the world, and the development
of these mines will at an early date
receive the attention of the new pro-
prietor. 1t is such men as Mr.. Bailey
that the Grand valley needs, not for
the purpose of creating a sudden BOOM
but to encourage the steady growth of
all our vast resources, and in no other
way can permanent success be at
tanned.

who prefer more reserve. And rather
than have their SensitiveneSs out
ragged, as is almost sure to result from
the attendance at the general dances,
the reserved class prefer to stay at

This matter could easily be remedied-
If there was limit put to attendance

boisterouS condition were denied adj
mission to the halls, and proper de-
corum was enforced on the floor, there
would be a return of q good many of

cannot receive encouragement and en-
dorsement from the reserved class.

regulated to suit the tastes of those

soon be free from fear of insult or in

That Piece az Arizona

Richfield Censor: Lying between the
Grand Canyon of the Colorado and the
southern boundary of Utah there lies a
tract OF barren country, cut deep with
hollows, covered deep with sand, rocks
and brush. Occasionally there is a
spring of water which is owned by a
Utah cattle man, who has taken up the
land TO obtain the water. There are but
two settlements on this entire tract,
and they are Utah people, with all in
terests in Utah. There are but two
places where the Colorado river can be
forded by the officials of Arizona, and
these are so far out of the way that
the officials of that territory have never
been able 10 give any protection TO the
stockmen who have interests in there,
and were it not for the protection .pri-
prove a den for the secretion of cattle
thieves and other law breakers.
Two years ago this winter MEM
her of the Arizona legislature intro
duced a resolution into the lower house
of that body, favoring the annexation
of the tract to Utah. but the resolu-
ton did not pass, although resolu-
ton opposing it was also voted down.
Members of the legislature of the ter
ritory on the south said at the time
that they did not care for the country
as il would be a needless expense to
them, if they were forced to protect
those who held property on it. The
question then is this, why does Dele
gate Murphy of Arizona oppose Repre-
sentative Aliens bill to annex the tract
to our state? There has always been
a great deal of lawlessness going on
there, and southern Utah has suffered
from it, while Mojave and Coconino
counties have never been able to exer-
else any control over it. They seem to
believe that there are rich minerals in
the deep canyons, but if there is any
