SUPPRESS THE CROAKERS

The following from Goodwin's
Weekly expresses a sentiment that
applies just as fully to this little
town as it does to the greater Salt
Lake City:
"Wiihin week the writer has
asked an even fifty business men
how their business was, and forty
five of them have answered
"rotten." If their names were
mentioned it would be easy to
prove that forty of them arc liars.
, And throughout the ,ity, should
you ask every man whether in
business or work for wages. how
business is. forty five out of every
fifty will answer "rottcn."
In the reaction Of the past year
following the cOuntry-w wide
Initiation of values Of the years just
proceeding the big man learned to
say 'rotten.' the little fellow
quickly follows suit. and it took
the wage Garner only moment
to pull face a yard long and echo
the statement.
1t is true that there has been
more or less retrenchmcnt, that
in this period Of reconstruction
collections have necessarily been
slower than usual, that lots of
people are doing business on the
|. o. U. and that many a spcndcr
of yoke is struggling through on
checks dated ahead. But the
majority of business houses arc
doing more than they did a year
ago, the average business n an is
satisfied with conditions which
were expected to be great deal
worse by this time and there is
nothing particular in the future to
be apprehcniVe about "

A certain merchant had for
years given dinner to his

was also the custom, and proposed
this toast:
"Gentlemen, we enjoy this

SELF DEFENSE PLEA
 FOR FIRE WORKS MAN

It is apparent that when Dominica Delfino, the Savin Rock fire works manufacturer, is put on trial in the superior court next month, on charge of murdering Antonio Del blasio, and of shooting Mary Del blasio. that the defense will be that the shooting was in self-defense. At the hearing in the West Haven court Mary Delblasio, OF the witness stand, testified that her grandfather and her husband had a fight over the latter's work in the shop. She did not know how the shooting occurred.
 Delfino in his statement to Coroner Mix, said that Delblasio had insulted him and then drew knife and tried to stab him. Then Delblasio, in his frenzy, drew a pistol and turned it upon his wife. Then he tried to shoot Delfino and the older man, grapplins with him, wrenched the pistol away and shot Delblasio in order to save his own life
