appeared, although his coming had
been timed for the SABBATH oay
when creditors usually cease from

with what was due her. 4 stout
hearted ex-sherin Of the county
was there to back the lady up IN
these not unreasonable demands.
and the ex-sherif DIDN'T bat an eye
when he eooIly told Bradley to dig
up or clean out. He dug up.
Next there was a young man on
the scene whom Bradley nad
threatened with bodily chastisement
for something or other. The young
man said ne had come to receive
the chastisement. but Bradley de-
elined to administer it in view Of
the attitude Of the young man.

bling that has spread now Is 20 the
effect that the San Pedro line will
take over the Short Line between
| Salt Lake and Ogden. and that the
Union Pacific would lift the bal
ance Of the Oregon Short Line. and
operate the general offices from
Omaha. Recent visits to PocateIlo
Of Union Pacific, San Pedro and
Southern Pacific officials and yari-
Gus trips over the southern part of
the line in this state have indicat-
ed that something is in the wind

change in the extensive work low

handling of freight to the east via |

a corresponding increase OF busi- |
ness in Southern California secrion
to come from the traffic of the |

The basis of these reports which |
have grown quite insistent in rail-
road circles during the past few
days Is to the effect that the Union

With the taking over Of the
