SEEKS INJUNCTION TO
EVADE HIGH INTEREST
Application Is Directed Against
Railway Company and
Loan Agent.

John L. Haynes filed an injunction
suit in the district court Saturday
against d. II. Tolman, the Denver e
Rio Grande Railroad company, Nellie
f.. Williams and Marie Scott to en-
join the railroad company from paying
S44.SO of his wages to Tolman and the
other defendants.
The complaint alleges that Haynes
borrowed $50 from Tolman, 4 loan
agent, July 10. 1909. and signed nctc
for $50, which included $40 interest.
At the same time he gave an assign
ment of his wages at the Denver & Rio
Grandc.
Haynes alleges that the rate Of in
terest charged him is usurious, and con.
sequently the note and the assignment
are void He further alleges that on
October IT, 1909. he filed petition
in bankruptcy in the Federal court and
included the Tolman claim in his
schedule of liabilities. Notwithstand
ing that the entire transaction is il
legal and that he has filed a petition
in bankruptcy. he claims, Tolman has
filed the assignment with the railroad
company and has tied up S4i,S0 of his
wages, causing tho company to sus.
pend him.
Haynes therefore asks that the com
pany be cujoincd from paying the
money to Tolman and that the latter be
restrained from attempting to collect
it, and that the company be required
to pay hm the entire amount.

TWO GOOD COUNTIES
IN STATE Of UTAH
Two Criminal Prosecutions in
Rich in Two Years Result
in Convictions.
IRON C0UNTY'S RECORD
Is ALMOST AS GOOD
Domestic Infelicity Apparently
is Unknown in the For
mer County.

According TO reports received by
State Statistician IIaines, there is very
little business for a county or district
attorney in either Rich or Iron county,
at least rs far as The criminal records
Of those two counties are concerned. In
tho year 1908 there were no criminal
cases at all i'm Rich county, while so
far this year there have been just two
cases of grand larceny, In both cases
the defendants were convicted and sent
10 The state prison.
There were no divorce cases AT all
IN that county either in the year 1908
or 1909, so apparently all is happiness
in the homes of the residents of that
county, In the entire year Of 1898
there were only twelve marriage IL
Lenses issued in the county, while up 90
date this year there have been only
eight,
Iron county has been almost as good
IN those respects ms Rich county. In
1908 there was only one criminal action
brought in Iron county and that was n
simple case of assault Both OF the
hclhgercnts in that fracas were con.
yicted and fined. in 1909 there has
been only one criminal action In the
county, aud that was Il case of forgery
and n conviction was the result. There
were three divorce eases in the county
in 1908. and tbirty-one marriage H.
ccnscs were issued while in 1909 there
have been SO far only one divorce case
and twcnty-niue marriage licenses.
Reports from other counties in regard
to statistics Of similar character ARE
being looked for by Mr. Haincs daily
and it is expected that some others will
be pretty close up TO the two already
received.

He Is in Doubt as to Whptbo,
Government Can Proceed
Further.
OPINION or SANBORN H
OUT OF THE 0RDINAR,
Result Is That District Attorne
Doesn't Know Where
He Stands.

According TO II. T.. Booth. initial
States district attorney for Utah
is extremely doubtful whether or noi
further steps can be taken in the tasd
of the government against the Unio,
Pacific Coal company, the Oregon Sbo,t
Line. j. NJ. Moore and L. Buckingham
who were found guilty Of conspirae,
by jury in the United States cow
here and fined. The first three namod
werc sentenced to pay $4,000 and NJ
Buckingham $1,000. They were accnssa
OF, and convicted of, having entcysd
into 4 conspiracy to force D, J Sbnrr
coal dealer, out of business. throu1l
various methods OF discrimination, n
was charged by Sharp that the Goa
company refused to sell coal to hin
and Inc railroad company refused a
haul it.
An appeal was taken from the iuda
mont, and Friday, Judge Walter n
Sanborn Of the circuit court of Appeal.
at st: Paul, reversed the Judgment o]
the Utah court.
Mr. Booth says that it will be iu,
possible for his office to detcrmip,
whether or not further steps will h
taken until "A copy of the decision 4
received. He is of the opinion that m,
district attorney is practically at fh,
end of his string. This belief he base'
upon precedents established in siriIa,
cases, Mr.. Booth says that the San
born decision appears TO him to be dj
rectlY contrary TO recent decisions ii
conspiracy cases.
One Case in Point.
One case in point. referred To by Mr.
Booth, is that of Whitwell against th,
Continental Tobacco company. In thi
case Judge Sanborn classed corn and
/ coal as prime necessities Of life, bu
held tobacco to be a luxury. In th,
Sharp case Judge Sauborn appears Il
have placed coal on the luxury side
Az least, he appears to hold that COD
is not prime necessity. In this, ther
seems TO be a diversity Of opinion il
| that the two decisions do not accorl
in that which relates to coal.

attorney would lie in an appeal to

IN a recent decision wherein the Staz

would be likely 10 be successful in u

However, Mr.. Booth said he was I'd
prepared to say what the course in th

that the jury found the defendanI
