WITNESSES WENT ON A STRIKE
WANTED THEIR FEES BEFORE
BEING SWORN.
Cut Judge Cherry Would Tolerate No
Such Nonsense, and They Quickly
Concluded to Take the Oath.

Two witnesses for the plaintiff in
the Islander suit of c. B. Crowther VS..
William A Rytting started a small re-
volt yesterday in Judge Cherry's court,
but their ardor was dampened by a few
sharp words from the judge, and all
went smoothly thereafter.
1t was when the witnesses were
called upon by Deputy Clerk Rawlings
to be sworn that the incident happened.
Two of the witnesses. George Balm
forth and Joseph Tall, refused to raise
their right hands to take the oath, and
Mr.. Rawlings asked what was wrong.
well, I'd like to be sure first" spoke
up Balmforth, whether I'm going to
get paid any witness fees"
They promised to settle with us,
quoth Tall, when we appeared at po-
lice court, but we never got a cent
then. and we'd like to make certain
now that we get our money"
You cannot dictate terms here" said
Judge Cherry, impatiently. "Be sworn.
You'll get your fees"
The witnesses lost their nerve at this
and took the oath without further par
ley.
The case lasted all day long. and
when the court adjourned. the evidence
was all in and the instructions of the
court had been given. The arguments
will be heard at II o'clock this morn

in contact with it, call chewing gum. ="
1t is one of the hydro-carbOnOus min

and really makes an excellent substi-
tute for chewing gum. There is a
large body of the stuff-a foot and a
half vein-which can be easily traced
on top of the ground for five miles.
The quality is the same wherever the
vein has been opened up. So far it has
puzzled all the experts to know what
it is. Nothing like it has ever before
been encountered in this section of the
state.
Prospectors in from the country in
the neighborhood of Green River sta
ton report good finds of manganese
ore. There are large bodies of it, and
some has been sent out for a test.

prosperous year. There is considerable
talk about a railroad being built
through this section of Castle valley.
One thing that has stimulated the hope

iron horse may be heard here in the
