Benson, the murderer OF Crockett,
who was taken from the Jail at Logan

son of the late Bishop Sharpe, a promi-

especial friend Of Brigham Young.
Benson had long had the reputation Of
being a desperate, and had long
been a terror to the people Of Cache
county. He has once before committed
murder, having fired into a ballroom,
where he had been refused admittance,
and killed the only son Of widow.

The act recommending the repeal OF
the agricultural lien law Of 1857 was re-

The minority report, on the contrary,
says the act Of 1872 meets all the pur-
poses Of the law Of 1857. The provisions
of the law are unjust to the merchant as
well as the agricultUrist. 1t is a subter-

was for some time privately engaged
