by the fair committee today from
Thatcher Bros. Of Logan, asking in
formation as to stock exhibits They
purpose bringing down some fine speci-
mems of horse flesh and viii enter some
of the contests If permitted to do So
The committee has decided to arrange
contests into which competitors cut
side of Utah county can enter. NeSo-
tiatioug are being made with the rall-
roads for q. reduced rate and for cars
10 bring these animals from outside
counties.
1t is very gratifying to the commit

the horsemen of salt Lake City. There

greatest excitement of all
COURT PROCEEDINGS
The only thing standing in the way
of Joseph q. Crook being placed behind
the bars for the crime OF abortion is
the supreme court ct the state. About
two hours of the courts time was
taken up in arguing a motion for a
new trial in the case, which motion
was oVerruled by Judge Dusenberry.
The attorneys for Crook believe that
have crept irtto this trial and viii re-
verse the decision of the lower court;
also that it VIII see that there is some
merit in the plea Of former acquittal.
Sentence will be passed Oct. II.
Nearly all of today's session OF court
was occupied in taking testimony in
the Jepperson VS.. the Oregon Short
Line damage suit. Testimony for the
plaintiff went to show that both in
point OF speed and signals the company
had not complied with the ordinances
of the city and had not shown due
caution during the run of this par
ticular train through the city. This
afternoon the defense put several wit
nesses on the stand to show that the
train had made its run in the usual
manner through the city and that the
customary signals we're given
KNOCKED OUT By HINES.
No one ever looked upon Il. S. Hines.
the druggist, as q scrapper, but today
he acquired some distinction in that
line by administering a terrific blow
upon the face Of a drunken individual
who was making himself a nuisance
about Mr.. Hines premises. The re-
cipiert Of this awful right hand swing
went down like an OK struck with a
sledge and 1t WAS some time before
ne was brought to a realization of what
had occurred.
There was a merry gathering at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Alfred in the
First ward last evening to witness the
marriage of their daughter Nellie and
c. w. Tenny. James E. Daniels per
formed the ceremony which made them
one, after which the guests were royal
" entertained with music and feasung
Several friends from SpringYilIe came
over to be present at this affair.
BOOTH MAY BE EDITOR
1t IS observed that ]. E. Booth is Of
late very conspicuous about the edi-
Iorial Sanctum Of the Enquirer, which
seems to confirm the rumor that he is
about 10 be put in possession of tbs
editorial eve" Of that sheet. Since il
is settled that Editor Graham win soor
be given The keys to the mail bags
and VIII devote his time to vendine
stamps and shutting letters, it is moi
improbable that Mr.. Booth will ht
pressed into newspaper service. Ed.
tor Glove has not yet received thai
long looked for letter from the nationa
capital advising him Of his appoint
ment TO q federal position, but he i.
stin hopeful.
