THEATER. - Another crowded house
greeted Mr.. and Mrs. Bates last night.
The house presented splendid appear
ance, quite large number of ladies oc-
cupying seats in the dress circle, while
the stage presented fine effect with the
magnificent dressing of the company.
"Lucretia Borgia" was the attraction,
| and Mrs. Bates evinced her wonderful
histrionic talent to splendid advantage,
and IN several scenes gained the heartiest
rounds Of applause. Mr.. Bates played
| Gennaro in good style, and shows his
versatility, when we remember his
Eccles. Mr.. Lindsay, as the Duke, and
Mr.. Dunno, were excellent. NIafio
Orsini was splendidly dressed and we'll
rendered by Mr.. Mcguire. The balance
OF the company gave good support. To-
night same bill, and Monday night Mrs.
Bates will appear in the celebrated drama
OF East Lynne, or the Elopement. Sew
eral seats were secured early on Satur-
day for this play, and we have no doubt
but the building will be crowded to its
utmost capacity.

MENT.-A monument is now being made
on hillside, near Upper Meadow Valley
street, under the direction of j. A.
Steele, by order of the War Department,
to commemorate the explorations of 1872.

and 10 inches wide at the top On the

The rock is close-grained, red sand
stone, and was procured about two miles
east of the Meadow Valley Company's
Dry Valley mill. Thos. Moran is doing
the work, and creditable job he is max
ing of it.
SwINDLING ON SMALL SCALE.-We
have been informed that there is young
man in town with peck marked nose,
who is doing Il small business in the
swindling line. His plan is to call at
| people houses in the evening, represent
| ing himself as in destitute circumstances,
and asking for job of wood cutting.
When this is promised, lie applies for an
advance to get his supper and lodging,
his saw sharpened, etc When he gets
the money he leaves and forgets to cut
the wood. Numbers have been taken in
in this way for small amounts.
CHEAP FREIGHT Of our business
men yesterday received load of freight
which, under the terms of contract with
the freighter, paid for itself on the road.
1t was agreed by the carrier that he
would deliver at u certain figure, and
that quarter of a cent on the pound
| should be deducted for every day he was
| over thirty days on the road between
| here and Lehi. The rate within that
| time was five cents, and he was lust
twenty days behind time. The consignee
made the freishter present of $50.
ONE Coon CROSSING A good and last
ing crossing has been made across Main
street where it is intersected by Meadow
Valley. 1t leads from Aleck Brown s
saloon and liquor store to the saloon on
the corner OF the street opposite, and we
presume it is conjoint enterprise of the
| proprietors of these two establishments
1t is composed of broken quartzite.
There is room on Main street for at least
half dozen more crossings.

take an honest pride in maintaining it.
WITHDRAWN. - Sheriff Travis desires
us to say that he withdraws the offer
made some some days ago of 800 for
every petit larceny thief arrested and
convicted in the Courts of this place, he
having become satisfied that one half of

the sale of the other half for the sole
purpose of pocketing the reward.
