Box B, Indirectly Came
From There.

Three familiar faces will be missed
in Salt Lake City today, They are
Hiram F.. Booth, familiarly known as
known as Curly, and William Spry,
governor Of Utah.
Today they are speeding eastward
upon palatial train, with Washington
as the first point of destination. Apos-
tie Smoot and his jack mormon col
league have been wired either at gov:
ernment expense or on a deadhead
frank that they are coming.
They arc going on mission. This
mission is not ordered direct from Box
B, but it comes from the hierarchy in
a roundabout way. 1t is not a mission
of peace that has sent them east 1T
is not mission of mercy. But it IS Il
mission in behalf of Fussy Jimmy, alias
Navajo Jimmy.

tired of waiting and feasting upon
husks and nubblns. He wants the whole
ear.

him the United States marshalsbip Of

He wants to be boss, He would let
the other fellow work while be draws

be done, because he was once county

bunch. sent east, aud they are sent tor
the purpose of seeing why President
Taft does not name him for United
States marshal for the district of Utah.
1t may DO that there arc some cases
of polygamy that need looking after
in Salt Lake county, and as County At
torney Job Lyon has shown decided
determination to go after wrong -doers,

expenses,
It Is Against Him.
The present marshal was born in the
wrong country. He is a gentle. He
is & Republican. But he came from
Kansas. That is against him with the
federal bunch and with the hierarchy.
For this reason the bunch wants Fussy
in. The trio of missionaries will arrive
in Washington Sunday. Monday. or
Tuesday at tho latest. the president is
expected 10 send III the name of Fussy
Jimmy to be United States marshal for
Utah Then the mission, so far as
Curly and the governor are concerned,
ends.
Kinky is interested in 4 case of coal
land frauds, wherein the company Of
which he was president is accused Of
fraudulently obtaining coal lands in
Utah. He will want to see the at
torney general. He has mission.
Some one else besides United States
Marshal Smyth may walk the gang
plank
But three familiar faces will be
missed from Zion for week or two
