HOLD-UP
OCCURS.
In South Vernon And Men
Lose Watch And Money
HOId-Up Men Open Up Fire
With Revolver
When Occupants Of Buggy
Refused To Surrender
Ralph Wells Gets Bullet
Through TrOWsGF's Leg
Sheriff And Police Search
For The HOld-Up Men

George Linsteall and Ralph Wells,
both residents of near Bangs, were
held-up by two negroes on the Colum-
bus road in South Vernon, just south
of the city at 10 o'clock Tuesday night.
Linsteall lost silver watch and Wells
some small change. Wells received
a bullet hole in his trousers leg. The
shot was fired by one of the hold-up
men when Linsteall offered resistance.
The hold-up occurred on the Colum-
bus road in front of the South Vernon
school house. The men were driving
home in a buggy when suddenly two
colored men stepped out from the
dark shadows and demanded the men
in the buggy to throw up their hands.
Linsteall refused to obey and grabbing
the buggy whip attempted to strike
one of the men. One of the negroes
pulled a revolver and fired at the two
men in the buggy. The bullet went
through Wells trousers leg.
AlLcI Lnio LhlA
Wells and LinsteaIl got out of the bug
gy and the men went through their
clothing. They took silver watch
from Linsteall and some small change
from Wells. The former had check
for $100 on his clothing. The hold-up
men did not take it and handed it
back to Linsteall. Linsteall came to
Mt. Vernon for the purpose OF getting
the check cashed, but for some reason
was unable to get the money. Conse-
quently he was s100 to the good as a
result of the hold-up.
The hold-up men escaped in the
darkness.
Soon after the hold-up LinsteaIl
went to teIephne and notified the
police. Sheriff Woolison and Officers
McElroy and Alsdorf FASTENED to the
scene in an automobile. They made
a thorough search of the surrounding
country, but were unable to obtain any
trace of the men.
Linsteall stated to the officers that
both of the hold-up men were colored
and that both wore light coats and
light caps.
Sheriff Wolison believes that the
hold-up was done by local men who
knew that Linsteall had the check for
$100 in his possession and that he had
gone to Mt. Vernon for the purpose OF
getting it cashed

BADGES
Must Be Worn By Hunters
Says Game Warden

B. T. Penrose, game warden, says
some of the Knox county hunters will
have to wake up and observe the
game laws.
Badges, the law says, they must
wear, and badges they shall wear, else
the game warden will arrest them and
let them explain to some squire, why
the specified penalty Of $25 and costs
should not be assessed.
The badges may be made OF paste
board or ribbon.
It's simply matter of enforcing
the law with the warden, and he
swears that the first misguided hunter
whom he finds foraging for game will
be brought to time If he is unadorned
with the symbol of authority.

WILLIAM MURDOCH M'CARTY
Republican Nominee for Justice Of
Suprpme COurt.

With few of the advantages that
are common to the young men Of this
generation, william Murdoch Nc
Carly, native of Alpine, Utah coun-
ty, Utah, has risen from obscurity to
The most commanding positi lon on the
bench of this state.
Chief Justice McCarty was born
May Is, 1853, Of pioneer parcntage.
Ills mother walked across the plains
in lS49, at the age of IL years. His
.ather came in 1852, driving an OK
team, landing in Cottonwood, tthen
known as Mill Creek Salt Lake
County, where he remained until he
married In 1856. He and his wife
and one babe two years thereafter
moved to Alpine. in this county. where
they lived some years The elder Nc
Carly engaged in farming At that
time In Alpine. as elsewhere In Utah,
the public school was taught only In
the winter months. Two OF those
winters he taught the Alpine school
and one OF the pupils of whom the
teacher was proud and in later years
often spoke concerning was lanky
lad of many frolics who Is now known

the liquor question
e,rce Utah county has been dry,
rho county has had much trouble over
tbe "blind pigs" but never were these
d,yes so fragrant as they have been
durlng the past two years of Demo-
cratic rule.
Lot us refer to facts, as shown by
tho county clerks records, they show
wben each whiskey club was organi-
God and each and all OF them were
organized under Democratic rule, as
follows: Timpanoogas club at Provo,
February "a, 1918; Timpanoogas club
No 2 at Provo, June IL. 1913; Edo
roda club at Provo, August 5, 1913;
efYler club at Payson, June 25. 1913;
vebo club at Payson.' September II.
1913. Eureka club at Payson, Novem-
her ~. 1919 Granite club at Ameri-
ran Fork July 19, 1913; Tuscarora
club at Spanish Fork, April ~, 1913;
and the Blue Rock club at Lehi, Sep
tembcr 49, 1918 SO you see they
wore all organized under Democratic
nile and were all permitted to -four
ish under Democratic rule for many
months. and some of them for al
most year before any attempt was
made BY the county authorities to sup
nress them: they allowed them to get
firmly rooted, and then in order to
make political capital for some Of
the county candidates on the Demo-
cratic ticket, they started to suppress
these clubs that had grown up under
their administration and fostering
care, and now these same people who
permittcd them to continue in bust
ness have the affrohtry to charge
their existence TO a Republican adj
mlnistraton when they know that
not a single whiskey club existed In
Utah county under Republican rule.
II little becomes the county attorney
district attorney, and sheriff to seek
political prcferment from the people
by such shameful and wilful misrep-
resontation of the plain facts.
After all the important thing is the
character behind the candidates. You
can depend on James II. Gardner In
keeping up high standard of county
affairs You can depend on John II.
Wootton, VIM. Wing and c. l.. War
