Story About a Giant

Once there giant who lived in a called Cor
poratlon and he was very big and fierce and always hun
cry Nobody could tell how many men, women and chill
dren he ate up every day. because he very shy and
kept his doings to himself
Now, this Giant because he afraid of all the people
and what they could do BY AGING TOGETHER, and
because he wanted to appear to be innocent good thing
for the country in which he lived and which kept him fat
and prosperous styshy parted his in the middle
and called himself A. Infant Industry. But time went
of the people began to say that this Giant who
took their homes their Clothes their lives and everything
else was no Infant and SO they began calling him Adam
Trust.
Well, you may be that just part of the
people began calling things by their right whole
lot of them went to thinking and looking into things
and shortly they organized resolved that they would
no longer pay such heavy tribute to Adam Trust in lives
wages and other things
Indeed this stirred Adam Trust greatly and he roared
and whined grevously. But it in vain. If you
going to get all raise, said the people, won't raise
things; well quit work
My! What blow that to the Giant! But he was
very sly and cunning old Giant have already said
and so he took the matter TO THE HIGH PRIESTS of
the law, who held forth in place called the Supreme
Court And the high priests issued what they called
Injunction forblddng part OF the people interfering
with A. Infant Industrys living people and their
things.
People always get mad when told that they shall not
do this that and these enoned people boldly said
that the Giant Infant but simply Adam Trust and
he shouldn't longer live off people. Whereupon the high
priests of the law put into jail number of the leaders of
the people FOR THEIR CONTEMPT of what the high
priests had said.
Now tins country OF our story was supposed to be gov
emed under what they called Constitution and the peo
pie not yet in jail quoted to the high priests this:
Amendment VI: In all criminal prosecutions the
cused shall enjoy the right speedy and public trial by
impartial jury etc, etc.
The people thought they had the Giant and the high
priests there but the high priests said:
''Tle Constitution doesn't what it says. Con
tempt is crime against us: We make it so. We are
PROSECUTOR JUDGE AND JURY Jail for you'll!
You may well believe that this startled the people, So
they went to thinking again, and Of them decided
that if the Constitution out, THEY WOULD
MAKE A NEW ONE that would say what it meant and
mean what it said and not leave the final say to high
priests, friends of the Giant
The story ends here, but maybe give you the
sequel later on

near proving successful. II contained
about $4,000 in gold. silver and cur
rency, and was guarded in the head

TO
STATE STATUTES
Local Retail Merchants ASSO.
citation viii Urge Changes in
Attachment Processes.

Several amendments TO the state stat
utes governing attachment processes
were urged before the Salt Lake Re
tail Merchants association by Attorney
Adam Duncan. at the association rooms
in the Atlas block last night. As a
result OF his recommendations, the
association is planning TO enter the
coming legislature seeking the neces-
sary amendments.
That the present attachment laws are
in many ways inadequate and absurd in
their construction was the charge OF
the speaker, who proposed that they be
simplified after the manner of the
Idaho state law, which makes a bill
cOllectible by attachment after II has
become due, and has been refused on
demand.
Duncan's Advice.
Mr.. Duncan called attention TO the
fact that ia most attachment cases
coming before the courts. the evidence
and testimony on which the petition for
writ OF attachment is based is usually
a matter Of hearsay. and can easily be
defeated. He advised the association
members 10 make the matter OF gath
ering evidence an important one before
entering the courts for Writs.
The association was we'll represented
at the meeting. which evolved into a
general discussion of the legal points
arising in the daily business OF the as
ISOLATION.

Six-Year-0 Lad Dies After
Undergoing an Operation

from his brain, Vernon Workman G.
year-Old son Of Mr. and Mrs. Ezra
Workman OF Park City who was shot
while playing near his home last sat

pital in this city at . o'clock yesterday
morning. An inquest TO determine
whether or not blame attaches 10 any
one for the death OF young Workman
Will be held at Park city today.
The fatal bullet was fired from a
gun presumably held by Ray Peterson,
a 13-year-Old boy, who. with Joseph
Grose, was returning from hunting
trip.
The boy claims he was shooting at
birds, and after one shot the cry or a
boy was heard. This cry was from
young Workman. whose head had been
pierced by a bullet. The boys claim
they did not see the Workman child
and did not know that ne was near.
There is a question as 10 whether
the bullet entered young Workman 5
head direct from the gun or struck
some object first and glanced 10 him.
