Precinct Officers out of
Jobs on January First
Redistricting of Counties in
State in September Legis-
lates Holders out of
Office

Under house bill 139, which
passed the regular session of the
legislature this spring, it is made
the duty of the boards of super
visors in the several counties of
the state on the first Monday in
September of this year, to re-dis-
trict their counties into judicial
districts. The bill further pro-
vides that the old judicial pre-
cincts shall give way to the new
ones on the first day of January,
1913, and that all the present
precinct officers shall go out of
office on that aate. So, it would
seem, under the provisions of
this bill, Ethat there is no chance
for any of the present precinct
officers to continue to hold their
Offices after the end of this year
by virtue of there being no cleo
tion this year. AS there is to be
no election for these officers, the
vacancies will have to be filled
by the boards of supervisors
throughout the state.

Where it Came From
History of a Bell in the Salt
Lake Museum

There is a mammoth bell in the
Salt Lake Museum and no one
seems to know anything about
it's history.
A. 0. Lamoreaux is familiar
with its history and says that his
father, D. B. Lamoreaux, took
the bell into Utah from Ohio dur
ing the second immigration to
Utah from the East and present
ed it to Brigham Young. The bell
was rund in Salt Lake on the first
Fourth of July after Mr.. Lamo-
reaux's arrival.
1t was originally used as a
church bell on an Ohio church. A
general row occurred among the
members and feud started. One
crowd stole the bell and sunk it
IN the Ohio river. 1t was rescued
and sunk several times. The last
time it was discovered by man
named Brunell, and as he knew
Mr.. Lamoreaux was just starting
west, he loaded it into his wagon
and it was taken to Utah.

a Good Excuse.
Mr.. Johnsing, turn us loose;
We got no money, but a good ex-
cuSe.
We're up and a coming, full of
biz"
Got things 'humming," We'll
make 'em ''siz,"
So, Mr.. Roosevelt, turn us loose,
And get out of the road of the
Big Bull Moose.
We breezed back to "Chi" to
scrap 'em fair,
Steam roller got to goin', we
didn't care.
We don't give a cuss for Taft or
Root,
And more of their kind throwed
in to boot,
So, Mr.. Roosevelt, turn us loose,
Wen clean out the animals with
our Big Bull Moose.
The double-cross boobs have play
ed their card,
We got their gate; they're dying
hard.
To the people dear, they've slip
ped line,
They can't get by with the inter
est crime,
So, Mr.. Teddy, just cut us loose,
And watch 'em beat it from the
Big Bull Moose.
We got their number, which is
Twenty three;
We've paid for the rough-stuff,
you and me.
Old Bills a loser and on the skids,
And Mister Morgan and some

So, please, Mister Roosevelt. cut

Well give them the hook with our

So, dear Mr.. Roosevelt, let us loose
Well get his goat with our Big

They are going to give 'em theirs,
bye and bye.
Now, Mister Roosevelt, just turn

There will be things popping with

Driving Americans Out
Women and Children Come
to Ell PasO in TrainlOads,
Destitute and
Worn Out

Juarez, July 70. OrOZcO, COM
mander-in-chief of the rebels, ad-
mitted that he is responsible fo1
the order disarming the Mormons
and declares the United States is
to blame. He takes the ground
that he must have arms and am
munition in some manner, and in
taking those of the Americans
he is doing no harm, for as he
naively says: If the revolution
be crushed, as Madero says, there
is no need for the Americans to
be armed in Mexico. :"
If the United States will recog-
nize his government, he says,
and will permit him to import
cartridges and arms, he will
agree to protect all foreigners.
He says he demonstrated his
ability to do so until the United
States shut off his supply of am
munition.
MORE REFUGEES ARRIVE
Ell Paso, July 20. Nearly 600
American women and children,
hungry and worn out with fatig-
ue and fear, arrived here late to-
day. They came on another spe-
cial train of refugees from the
Mormon colonies Of the Casas
Grandes district, 200 miles south
of the United States border at
this point. More are expected on
an early train due tomorrow.
That the exodus of Americans
from Mexico will be thorough is
the evidence of events today. A
force of already more than 300
refugees from the colonies is in
this city. They are from three
large and three small colonies,
each with an almost entirely
American population. There are
Dublan, with 1,2O0; Juarez, with
300; Diaz, with $50; and three
minor mountain settlements With
from $50 to 300 population each.
According to conservative fig
ures given out by Mormon church
dignitaries here, more than 8, $50
Morlnons who are in Mexico con-
slider themselves in grave danger.
Only the women and children are
leaving, the men remaining, dis
armed and helpless.

Farmers and market gardeners in
the vicinity of Washington say the
frequent and copious rains OF the past
week have put them far behind with
their work. Wheat in many places Is
ready to harvest, but the wet weather
and muddy ground make 1t impossible
to get into the fields. Market gar
dens. as well as the kitchen gardens
of suburban residents, are in poor con-
dition, the rains making 1t impossible
to work the ground, thus giving the
weeds plenty of opportunity to grow
