siderable interest all day Monday on

with an assault with attempt to
rob-" The plaintiff, Stanley Zdunek,
told his story, and several witnesses,
who had knowledge of some parts of
it, corroborated his story. The story
as told by the plaintiff was just about
as it has already been published. The
marks upon the plaintiffs neck are still
evident where the rope cut his neck.
The defendant was bound over to
trial in the circuit court in the sum
of $500 which he was unable to give
and therefore was committed to Jail
to await his trial which will take
place in October.
The examination brought out the
facts that he was married man and
his family consisted of a wife and
child who reside in Russia. He has
resided in this city and vicinity for
about four months and has known the
plaintiff for about three months and
was upon friendly terms with him.

CONSOLIDATION IS FAVORED
Superintendent Nelson Believes That
Schools in Each County Should
Re Under One Control.

A proUositiOn to consolidate the
school districts in each county under
one control is being supported by A. c.
Nelson, superintendent of public in
stFuctiOn.
AS a result of the agitation bill will
probably be introduced i'm the next leg
islature giving this authority TO each
county if it so desires.
Mr. Nelson will go to Morgan Mon
day, where he will present the scheme
at meeting which will be held for that
purpose. On next Thursday he will go
to Park City for the same purpose, and
will be accompanied by Thomas Nc
Kay and Superintendent John w.
Smith of the Jordan schools.
At present each district is governed
by board of from three 10 five SUI
pervisors. For instance, in Morgan
county there are ten districts. which
means that the school board members
i'm the county number about forty. II
is contended by Mr.. Nelson that more
uniformity could be obtained if one
board of five elected by the whole coun-
tv should govern the schools i'm that
county, and he is endeavoring to start
an agitation in that direction.

CLAIMS He WAS BUNCUED
H. N. Standish Wants 1894 Judg-
ment Enforced Against New

had not been paid and Standish brought

Elgin Dairy, Creamery & Supply COM
pany was formed, Worse transferring
all his property to this concern, he be-
ing the head of the old company. The
other defendants named are the incor-
pOrators of the new company
Standish prosecuted his suit against
the old company and on December %
1907. secured judgment for 1914 and
costs. On January s last a writ of
execution was issued by the district
court. but the sheriff could find no
property on which TO levy. Standish
now claims that the transfer by Worse
to the new company was illegal and
was made to defraUd him. and he
wants the new concern made RESPONSE
BILE for his claim and asks that an in
junction be issued against it to pre-
vent it's disposing of it's property, as
