In view OF the duplication OF an ar
ticle in the Journal In the Thursday
morning issue In relation to charges
which had been made against Messrs
Brown and percival, the persons EN-.
ployed to gather evidence against
violation of the prohibition law, and
in. view OF the mention OF my name In
connection with such charges deem
II proper TO make a brief statement
upon the subject
II has come 10 my attention that
certain individuals were selling liquor
In violation OF, the ordinance, but ow-
ing to the unwlllingness Of purchasers
to assist the city In prosecutions II was
thought best to employ special agents
to gather evidence. Accordingly, Mr..
Benson, the city marshal, went to
Salt Lake City to employ such agents.
He called upon the sheriff of Salt
Lake county and gentlemen OF respou.
sibility, and each of these gentlemen
recommended Messrs Brown and Pei
cival very highly. Upon Mr.. Bensou's
return he reported the above facts
and these gtnelemen were accordingly
employed.
Further than as above stated | have
had no connection whatever with this
matter. except that | personally ad-
'aneed money TO pay for their SER
vices. Very respectfully,
JOHN II. ANDERSON.

Short Turkey Market. - Discovery
has been made that city ordinance
stands between local meat dealers and
their effort 10 furnish turkey for Mo
hue's Thanksgiving dinner. The trou-
BE arises from the fact that turkeys
supplied IN the Davenport market, and
offered by Davenport dealers to Moline
meat markets, have not been drawn,
since a regulation similar TO the one
existing here is Mt in effect across
the river. As q result of the ordinance
Moline dealers must either buy up live
turkeys and slaughter them in Moline,
or arrange to have the turkeys drawn
when they are prepared in the Daven-
