heroic efforts to arise and imbibe he
was unable to do so. But about clos
ing time the snap had to be given

George used language, so he did, be-
cause the shoe that was nailed down
had to be pried loose with pinch bar,
and it took two men with a light an
hour to undo the screw in the wooden
leg. He compensated for this loss OF
time, however, by imbibing a quart OF
whiskey, on condition that he would
only make two drinks of it. He real
lied the contents of the quart.

HE HAD A WOODEN LEG.

The next time Frank Pierce, attor-
ney for the Utah Consolidated, has
an action for damages to defend, he
will fight especially shy of men with
cork legs, either as jurors or witnesses
AS a matter of cold fact it is a hard
thing for a man with a cork leg to get
on jury, but when it comes to tes-
tifying in a case, the mere circum-
stance of man having one doesn't
prevent him from testifying.
Pierce was up against it good ana
hard in the Federal court the other
day. He had two suits to defend, the
first brought by the administrator of
an estate to recover for the killing OF
man, in which James Paxton, a
young fellow of 81 years, was a wit
ness. In the same accident Paxton
lost leg, and now wears an artificial
one. On the stand, but for the objec-
tons of counsel, Paxton would have
told all about wooden legs, but the
court sustained objections and shut
out a good bit of what might have
been termed expert testimony" How
ever, the Utah Consolidated lost and
the verdict returned was for $4,000
damages, PaXton's evidence going a
long ways to establish the validity of
the claim.
At the conclusion of this case, or
shortly afterward, Paxton's suit for
damages occasioned by the loss of his
leg came up, and again he testified as
to the inconvenience of stumping
around. The jury was so impressed
with what he said that it gave him
$5,625.
All of which, speaking of wooden
legs, reminds the writer of an Incl
dent. Back in ''the states" there lived
wooden-legged fellow named George
Tibbets. Said Tibbbets is alive yet,
for in the columns of the paper print
ed at the county seat recently ap-
peared a story about his stealing a
shotgun and selling it. Tibbets used
to get drunken than boiled owl, and
while in the comatose condition that
followed his jag acquiring the boys
used to play tricks on him. One day,
while he was sitting around Kellum's
place, sleeping a sodden, dreamless
slumber, the gang removed his leg,
took it down to Writings wagon shop
and, removing the iron ferule at the
bottom, reduced the hickory member
about two inches. The ferule was re-
turned to its place, the leg covered
with mud and the same strapped on
to Georges stump. AS he began show
ing signs of wakefulness, one of the
crowd shook him and asked him up to
take a drink Tibbets never declined
drink. That was one of his good
traits. He always accepted. By so
doing he saved lots of trouble and
some money. AS he arose on this par
ticular occasion and started across the
floor he noticed his right side wasn't
tracking" just right. He made two
or three steps, arrived at the bar, took

President Kerr, moreover, seems to
be too copiously imbued with the idea
of his own importance and wants to
run things too much on the plan of the
car of all the Russias. Truth is in
a position to substantiate all its state
ments on this matter. The public can
not get the facts from the daily papers
of Salt Lake City, and with the Logan
papers they don't fare any better. The
main object of the Salt Lake dailies, 1t
is well known, is to deceive the people
and publish anything and everything
but the facts, but better things were
expected from the Logan papers.

THE PACKERS ARE BEING HIT.

I A prominent member Of the
beef packers combine has been
indicted by the federal grand
jury in Chicago. Indictments
are hanging over the heads of
several of his confreres. The
proceedings are being conducted
with considerable secrecy, but
the men who are being hit know
what is going on in their case.
Thus far the proceedings against
the packers are for conspiracy or
alleged conspiracy, on the charge
of tanpering with the witnesses
in the beef trust cases. The ex-
aminations or charges which in
volve the actual violation of the
antitrust law are also under way.
1t is on the ground that they
infringe on the antitrust law
that the packers have the most
to fear from the federal author
ity. Several suits have already
gone against them, and these in
dicate that on criminal proceed
ings, which are now being insti-
tuted, they are open to very Sc
rious assault, The pretense of
their lawyers that they are not
members of a trust is vain. The
courts have found that there is a
beef trust, and that it is COM
posed of certain corporations,
The particular personages who
are to be dealt with by the fed
eral courts in the criminal prose-
cution are members Of these COM
panies. They are malefactors in
the eye of the law. s
The prosecution of q few of
the beef packers will be a fine

lesson for the country. It will
show the people, including those
who are members of the big COM
bines, that the richest and the
poorest are on an absolute equal
ity in this country in the eye of
the law. If the individual packers
who are being assailed are found
guilty, they will have to meet the
punishment prescribed by the
statute. President Roosevelt
stands behind the courts in New
York and Chicago which are pro-
ceeding against the beef COM
bine. His earnestness and cour-
age in this crusade for the en-
forcement of the laws brought
the Northern Securities company
to greif year ago, and hit the
beef trust at an earlier and a
later date. It is a criminal pros
ecution which is being waged at
this time, and if guilt is fastened
on the accused persons nothing
will save them from going be-
hind the bars. Globe Democrat.

There are few places that has
made a better showing in the
beet growing industry than Delta
county. Last year there was on
ly 700 acres planted to beets
against nearly 5000 for the pres
'ent season. When it is taken in
to consideration that last year
was the initial year of this indus
try the showing was good, but
with the present season planting
almost four times as many beets,
and would have planted more
had the company been willing to
contract for them, the outlook
for a sugar factory could not be
better. At this rate of increase
next year would see an acreage
of more than 1000 acres. But
even if the acreage should only
total up from 600 to 5000 acres
this would still be sufficient to
operate a factory with q much
larger capacity than that located
at Grand junction.
