twenty-dolar gold piece down with the
remark that he did not want any

booths that line Third South street on

THE KANGAROO COURT.
Made a Source Of Much Merriment
as Well as Revenue.

AS a source Of revenue the Kangaroo
court is a winner; as a means OF adding
to the fun and hilarlty Of the wonder

the language OF one of the convicted
felons who stood at the bar Of justice:
1T is one Of the fiercest Things that
ever cavorted down the pike"
For the major portion chief Patsy
Sullivan and his aids OF the stuffed
club brigade have confined their atten-
tions to the members Of the Elk herd,
with only now and again an incursion
into the rights and privileges OF the
man who simply pays his poll tax in
the glorious city of Salt Lake; but the
supply OF Elks has commenced TO run
out, even In the face Of repeats. and now
every citizen stands In jeopardy Of being

direction OF unanimous holdup.
though good natured, is calculated TO
become decidedly unpopular. and al
ready the voice OF the kicker Is heard
in the land. But then everyone knows
what to expect at the Elks' carnival, for
IL is generally conceded that the Fair
first, last and all the time, is in aid OF
the building fund, and everyone wants
to have a brick In the building which
is TO be erected on State street.
The court did a rushing business yes
terday. today Il was not overworked
to the same extent that II was yester-
day. but nevertheless the exchequer
was loaded W In good shape When
the supply OF material was somewhat
shy the kangaroo patrol would take TN
excursion on To the public streets and
gather up an unofending citizen while
the rest scattered like oovey Of scared
partridges.
