Elk Senator Brown and Hon. Jesse
Smith, of Utah, are in Washington
trying to secure official permission
for the people of northeastern Utah
to pasture their sheep on the Uinta
reservation, embracing SO, 900 acres,
which was set apart as a forestry
reservation under the last Cleveland
administration. Mr.. Brown said on
the subject: people wonder at crime
in the western country, and yet these
immense reservations, covering
thousands OF acres, are left as regular
hiding places for cut threats and out
laws of every character. These
reservations, and especially those in
the far West, have practically no
police protection, and it can be readi-
Iy seen that if the government would
permit their use, for pasturing our
sheep, this would give the reserva
ton protection that it would not
otherwise get" Speaking of politics
Mr.. Brown said that Bry anwas rapid
Iy dying in the West and predicted
that President Mckinley would re-
ceive the electoral votes of Utah and
Colorado.

SUIT AGAINST MONTPELIER
ALDERMAN.

At recent special city meeting in
Montpelier committee was appoint
ed to Investigate a shortage of over
$1,000 in the accounts of the city
liquor agency for the past year. AS a
result of this investigation, writs is
sued by City Attorney Carleton were
served on ex-AldermanW w. r. Weston
Saturday afternoon by Deputy Sheriff
Wedge, reciting that Mr.. Weston was
duly elected alderman from the Sd
ward of Montpelier on the first Tues
day of March, 1895, and that he was
the duly elected alderman from that
ward until the first Tuesday of March,
1897, and that during that time he was
authorized and empowered by the
City Council, as committee on liqnor
agency, to buy, in behalf of the city,
all necessary liquors to be sold at the
city liquor. agency.
The writ asserts that Mr.. Weston's
duties as a city official were to buy
the liquors and make all necessary
contracts for the same, to the best
advantage to the city, without being
directly or Indirectly interested in
any such contract or purchase, or in
terested in any other way, directly or
indirectly, in such purchase or con-
tracts, but that Weston bought of
certain firms liquors amounting to
several thousand dollars and, 6isre-
garding his duty and obligations as
city official, and willfully intending to
deceive, defraud and injure the city
of Montpelier, bought these liquors at
price $500 greater than they were
reasonably worth. 1t is further al
legged that Weston received rebates
and commissions on the sales of these
liquors to the amount of $500, to the
injury of the city of Montpelier.
For the recovery of these sums
these suits were brought.
A suit was also brought by the city
against HI. A. Skinner, city liquor
agent last year, and writs of attach
ment were served upon the property
of both defendants. The cases are
returnable at the September term of
the Washington County court.
