Still Busy Investigating.
No additional arrests were made in
Salt Lake county during the day. but
the county attorney and the sheriff
and their forces worked on the case
without ceasing, and developments are
promised for the near future The SEN
ument is generally expressed that the
whole matter must be probed to the
bottom and that no guilty man must be
permitted to escape
Another development OF the day was
the extent to which business has been
pushed in the matter of buying the GER
tificates- Persons and firms in Salt
Lake have done business running FAR
into the thousands in buying up the
certificates from the parties to whom
they were originally issued. A discount
estimated at 20 per cent is made in this
way by the brokers.
