talk, but Tommy "grunts" when
Sherman tells him to do so. Miss

from typhoid fever, with which he
had been Frustrated for the past
three weeks. The deceased was
but fourteen years of age, and had
already given evidence of the pos
session of those attributes which
are the precursors of a useful and
sterling manhood. He had been
a student in the University of
Southern California, where he was
held in the highest esteem by
the professors on account of his
high mental endowments, and
by his school fellows for his
amiable and manly qualities. His
early death will be severe blow
to his parents, whose hopes were
bound up in the future of their
boy. The funeral will take place
from the residence of his parents
on Main street, at 8 O'Clock this
afternoon,

A German who came over with
the last party of Mormons was in
terviewed by reporter. He puffed
immense quantities of smoke from
an old.fashioned Schleswig-Hol-

the reporter. The Interview is thus
given:

AS he said this the German con-

perfectly rs the lymphatic condi.
ton Of his system would permit,
and strutted away.
Further on an Englishman was
encountered. When asked how
long he had been a member Of the
Mormon Church, he replied:

"Do you believe in polygamy?"
"Ow?"
SHOW many wives are you going
to take when you go out West?"
"Hit all depends" replied the

This man and the German the

in fact, all the members of the
