AMOUNT OF MONEY

With but 26 cents on the dollar of
the money which he won in the con-
tests at the Salt Lake wild west show,
Barney Sherry, we'll known local far
mer and race horse man, has arrived
home from the Utah show. He was
one of the committee of three repre-
senting the contestants in their efforts
to secure their money and the best
settlement they We're Gtle to effect
was for the amount above stated.
However, Cunningham and the others
Interested in the promotion of the
show are still being held pending fur
ther developments.
Sherry declares that the indignant
cowboys would have lynched the pro-
moters of the show had they not been
checked. Stories in the Salt Lake pa
pers bear out this statement. One
article declared that the cowboys had
planned as a form of revenge to rope
the promoters, tie them and turn them
over to the cowgirls for good quirt-
ing. On another occasion one of the
men interested in the management OF
the show was cornered in saloon by
a mob of the contestants and had to
be rescued by the officers, according
tD press reports.
Sherry had something over $500 due
him while the total amount of prize
money unpaid aggregated close t'
$4,000 it is said.

MUST BE CLOSED

Declaring the gratings on the side
walks of the business street to be un-
sanitary and unsightly and character
izing them as nuisances and obstruc-
tions, DR.. l. L. Temple, city health
physician last evening appeared before
the city council and asked that all
gratings be ordered closed and that il
be made unlawful to construct such
gratings in the future. The matter
was referred to the street committee.
DIR. Temple stated that he had in
spected quite a number of these ven-
tilation gratings and had found them
in filthy condition. They are moth

them, throw their cigar stubs, peanut

them this filth accumulates sometimes
for years before it is removed. The

no hesitation in branding these graf
ings as very unsanitary. Where they

Mayor Matlock was not fully in
sympathy with the physicians views
although admitting the gratings more
or less of a nuisance. Councilman
Montgomery, who was with DR.. Tenn
pie when he made inspections, ex
pressed himself in favor of an ordi-
dance closing up the gratings while
Councilman Cole, chairman of the
street committee to which the matter
was referred, declared that, given the
power the street committee would
gladly see that the gratings are aboi-
ished.
