Rtu Posters' Broiis.

C. Kenyon, a bill poster of Batcheller &
Doris's circus, was arrested here this after
noon on a charge of defacing and mutilat-
ing show bills of the Sells Brother s
show. Kenyon belongs to the bri-
gade of posters who arrived here
this morning. He went to the country for
the purpose of billing and it was charged
that he covered several ''stands" Of bills
belonging to the Sells party. Yank "
Newell, an agent of the Sells show, was
in town and the driver of the wagon
which took Kenyon to the country told
him that Kenyon had covered their bills.
Newell made complaint against him before
Alderman McConomy. Kenyon pleaded
guilty, as he desired to 90 to: Reading to-
day, and his fine of s. and costs were
promptly paid by Mr.. G. w. Voglc, the
boss of the brigade.
The Sells agents state that their men
received orders not to cover the
paper of the other circus. The Batch
eller g. Doris men say that upon
going to the country to-day they found
stands of their bills which had been cover
ed by the Sells men. At one
place they covered stand during
the absence of farmer whom the Batch
eller & Doris people had paid for the
privilege.

Editors Herald:
We have heard no fears of a
drouth expressed by any of the peo-
pie lately. 1t must be that all are
perfectly satisfied that we have had
shower. The farmers have dis
played heroic energy in securing
their crops. They have been obliged
to rely on their own strong arms in
a great measure, because it has been
almost impossible to hire help on
account Of the great demand for
labor in other directions. Those who
have t'raised cane" have had an ex-
cellent time for manufacturing sorg-
hum syrup, and are rewarded with
an abundance, generally of a supe-
rior quality. Some of the last cut
ting of lueerne hay has been IN
jured by the:la damp weather, yet
we have plenty of hay to supply the
demand.
Railroad building continues
lively. The contracts. for grading
the Denver and Rio Grande from
here towards Salt Lake City have
been let and re-let as far as possible
to the parties owning the land
through which it passes, so that
each can do the grading through his
own land, making it very convent
emit for each to do the work nearest
home. Many have already nearly
finished their little jobs of grading.
Our friends Dan Jones Sc Co.,
have quite a large contract to
furnish ties, most of which
have been secured along the
banks of the Provo River
at different points between here and
in the vicinity Of Heber City in
Wasatch County. They commenced
putting these ties in the river, near
Heber, about a week ago. The late
rains have raised the water in the
river, which will facilitate the float
ing Of ties down to Provo. Dan
thinks Providence favors him in his
enterprise, and is happy.
