UNRULY TRUCKS
DEMOLISH HOME
Bingham Canyon Man Wants
Railroad Company to Pay
Him $1,000 Damages.

Taking the position that the Denver &
Rio Grande Railway company had no
right TO allow a pair of trucks to come
bouncing down the side of the mountain
in Bingham canyon and demOlish his
home, Herman Johnson filed a suit
against the railway company in the Third
district court yesterday asking for 81 200
damages. The accident occurred on July
81 1909, when a pair Of trucks from one
of the high line cars worked loose,
jumped the tracks and tumbled down the
hill. crashing into JohnsOn's house.
In the complaint Johnson says that the
railroad company should have seen to it
that mo car or engine or truck would
run off of said railroad track and fall
down said mountain side upon the dwell
ing of plaintiff" The engines and cars
remained where they belonged. but the
pair of trucks did not. and the demolition
of JOhnsOn's home was the result. The
trucks had to go about 200 feet down
the mountain in Carr Fork but when
they stopped they had run through john
sons house. The suit for $1,000 is the
result of the wild flight of that pair of
unTuly trucks.

GIANT APPLES
RAISED IN UTAH
Box Is Coming From Helper to
Be Placed on Exhibition
Here.

The salt Lake chamber of commerce
Is in receipt of a letter from J. Tom
Fitch. president of the town board
of Helper in which he states that he
has sent a box of a dozen apples were
Mr. Fitch says that the apples were
raised on his orchard at Helper and
that they are the equal of any fruit
grown in this state The dozen apples
in a row are said to measure ffty-twO
and One-half inches across the top, or
almost four and one-half feet.
Mr. Fitch states that people who have
seen these apples after having seen
the big exhibits at the Alaska ukon-
Pacific exposition. have declared that
they were superior 70 anything on ex-
hibition at the fair.
Helper is situated in the right fork
Of Spanish Fork canyon, between high
mountains, and the general opinion has
been that it would be difficult to raise
fruit of any kind there.

Strange, indeed, and interesting were
the interpretations made in police
court yesterday of that particular city
ordinance pertaining to the obstruction
of street, in the trial of j. L. Fits, a
Socialist lecturer, who mounted to the
apex of three suit cases and a cracker
box on East First South street recent
ly and harangued himself into the city
Jail and out again on S25 bail. Incl
dentally he gathered so vast a crowd
about him that the sidewalk was i'm
passable and the street partially
blocked.
Said E. A. Rogers, the city attorney,
when two hours had been spent in Sc
curing a jury, for Fits, being a rad
zeal believer in rights, demanded all
that was coming TO him in the way Of
legad considerat iOn-says he:
Your honor. if Fits had stood on
the sidewalk and proceeded to speak
then this charge against him would be
invalid. but Immediately when he
climbs to the eminencc of d cracker
box he has in some manner obstructed
the street, said cracker box being the
obstruction, no matter how small"

The Usefulness OF Tears.

The psychological aspect of tears
has interested thinkers for ages.
That crying brings about certain
mental crisis now and then is de-
finitely asserted and, in all probabili-
~, very true. Every woman knows
that nothing relieves her feelings more
readily or lifts a strain from her
mind more certainly than a good
weep on occasions.
The physical aspect or tears, how
ever, has never been considered very
seriously by scientific investigators
until these latter days, when all our
lives center around these pestiferous
things we call germs. Everything
about us seems fashioned for one OF
two purpoSes-either to attract or
repel germs. Tears are said to be
great germ killers.
Wherefore, If the baby cries, for
instance. be not distressed. 1t is
good for the baby to cry; it rids the
little thing of millions of bacteria
II your young boy stubs his toe and
bawls with all the vigor of an offend
ed nature not yet arrived at youth
full estate, console yourself that,
while his toe hurts, his tears are
washing away hosts of micro organ
isms that might otherwise work great
havoc with his physical self. If
prompted to have a good cry, let
nothing stay the flow of briny drops
incident thereto.-Washin Her

taking Lydia r. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound to see what it would do,
and l am restored to my natural
health. Mrs. ETA DONOVAN, Box
200, Willimantic, Conn.
The success of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound made from roots
and herbs, is unparalleled. It may be
used with perfect confidence by women
who suffer from displacements, inflam-
nation, liberation, fbroid tumors, ir-
Irregularities, periodic pains, backache,
bearing-down feeling, Gatulency, indi-
gestion, dizziness, or nervous prostra-
ton.
For thirty years Lydia L. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound has been the
standard remedy for female ills, and
suffering women owe it to themselves
to at least give this medicine a trial.
Proof is abundant that it has cured
thousands of others, and why should it
not cure your
