MARROW scArE.--Tho train hauling
ing ore Dry Valley mill, after it arrives
at the dump, the engine is uncoupled
and proceeds down to the turntable at
Bullionville, preferring to do that way
than pushing the cars up grade ahead of
the engine While on the way down the
other day, the engine was going at very
fast speed through the canyon, and Just as
it turned a curve in the road man was
discovered, about forty feet ahead, on a
truck pushing himself along. The engideer
sounded the whistle, reversed the engine
and applied the brakes. The man hear
ing the whistle and seeing the engine
coming, rolled off the side Of the truck
just before the engine struck it, thus saw
ing himself from injury, perhaps his life.
The cowcatcher threw the truck on one
side the road, scattering the load--ice
cream and cans--in all directions. A
short distance farther ON the engine was
stopped and the engineer, madden than
wet hen, dismounted and went back to
see the daring individual who would risk
his life in that manner, knowing the train
was coming down the road that day, and
in no good humor said to him: "You
internal frog-eater, why did you get on
| the road when you knew the train was
coming!" All the satisfaction the French.
man gave him was: "Maybe you come,
maybe you no come" and that ended it.
The Raymond & Ely works at Phoebe

The above item is going the rounds Of
the press, and from what source it orig
mated we are unable to learn, and it is
hardly necessary to say that such is not
the intention Of the company. The idea
OF abandoning a half million worth of
property by company is altogether too
absurd for sane persons to believe.
PEsoSAL.-Mr. Wallace, Superintend.
ent of the Utah Forwarding Company, ar.
rived in town during the fore part of the

LOST, STRAYED or STOLEN Little
Tommy Harmon, few days ago, went to

a horse out on a ranch and borrowed

"PIoNEER. The Pioneer Hotel, of
Bristol, still maintains its well-earned
reputation of Speeding before its boarders
| all the delicacies of the season. For the
past week the Pioneer has been gorging
its patrons on strawberries and cream.
All persons visiting Bristol will find it to
their benefit to put up at the Pioneer.
