CeSS1ul promoters OF q matr11nO-
nial trust, says the Bee. They
have taken in a Mormon family
composed Of a moth9r and twin
daughters, who furnished the
capital, while they furnished the
franchise III the shape Of marriage
certificates. Not wishing to let
another memberin on the ground
floor, one brother married the
mother and the other grappled
with the two girls-the twins.
The idea being that the twins,
while ostensibly two, were in
fact but one. Inasmuch as the
twins look exactly alike, the hus-
band cannot tell which he mar
rled first, nor is he positive that
he married both or but one twice.
The trouble in which they find
themselves arises over the con-
troll of the trust, as there is doubt
about which is common stock
and which is preferred. Some
think the widow should be pre-
ferred and the girls common.
There are folks who delight in
gossiping about other folks, es-
pecially of those that stand high
er in life, socially, financially and
in every other respect. They are
like the fox that did not notice
her own tail, but found fault with
that of her neighbor. There are
some of this people living not
over 1 900 miles from this town,
that would do themselves great
favor by making a little change
in their tactics. Thus they would
probably be better appreciated
by a community that cannot
help it but look upon these lovers
of gossip as they do upon a car
niverous hyena. If the shoe fits
wear it.-Ex.
The Jerome strike is a thing of
the past. The miners, engineers
and repair men have resumed
work. The electric light plant
and mine are working just as be-
fore the strike. About $50 Of the
smelter force have left town, but
there are enough left to run at
least a portion Of the furnaces
which they expect to start up on
Thursday 1t is not learned
whether any concessions were
made to the men or not, but it is
not believed that there were, but
that the men concluded to return
under the former conditions

Attorney ]. E. Jones received a
telegram last Friday to go to
Holbrook to confer with bod
Carver, who was confined in Jail
for murder. Utah officers, armed
with the proper papers, were
there to take him to that state
to answer to a similar charge.
Mr.. Jones will defend him in the
Utah courts, provided Carver
puts up the amount agreed upon.
Carver has the reputation of be-
ing a desperado and with being
connected with crimes committed
in Utah, New Mexico and this
territory.-FlagstaffG Gem.
