W. J. Townshend, agent of Gilmer &

Officials of this county yesterday posted
notices of quarantine against Panguitch
fish peddlers as precautionary measures
against the smallpox. While there may
be no danger, as the dread disease is
said to be disappearing, at the same time
we will be safer by having check on
promiscuous intrusions among us.
A special from Kanab states that
man named Phelps was poisoned by an
Indian at that place few days ago. 1t
appears that Phelps, who lives up the
canyon about mile from town, had left
in his cabin some bread and when he re-
returned found some one had been there
and the bread gone. He cooked more,
and he and boy while eating it took
suddenly sick. They started for town
but the old gentleman died on the way.
The boy pulled through and is all right
now. Two Indians were arrested and
one confessed to putting strychnine in
the -four.

Ed. RECORD: saw to-day with con.
siderable surprise) in your last RECORD
the letter written by J. B. +. to the Eu-
reka Sentinel, concerning the Colorado
River and the need OF improving it and
trying to make it navigable. | will say
in answer to it that j. B. F. has never
been to the river but once in all of the
time she has lived so near to it, and that
time she lost her way and came very near
going into the river lit was in the night,
and l must say she was very foolishly
frightened, if she believes all she says to
be true. As to the river being ford
able, several people have tried it, but
have always failed. There is q gentle
man here now that tried to ford it during
the winter, but was glad to get hack to
shore safely after venturing out in the
water a short distance. The river is
navigable now, will be so for several
months land could be made so longer,
witout QUITE the whole of the money in
the treasury of the United States), but
is not during the winter. The steamer
ella is expected up here almost any time
now, and will make several trips this
summer, after salt to be used by the mills
at Ell Dorado Canyon. The Gila carries
eighty -five tons at one load, which l do
not consider very bad on fordable river.
As to the Colorado being so steeply grad
ed, j. b. F. knows that her ''mean Nor
mon" waters his ranch out of the Rio
Virgin, because the Colorado has not fall
enough to enable him to get water out Of
it without either the use Of machinery
or by making great many miles Of.
ditch, either of which he does not feel
like doing.
The reason that he is the "meanest
Mormon ON earth, may not be apparent
to all, but it is because they owe him
little over one thousand dollars, and he
would like to get it, and she considers
calling man Mormon about as far as
she can 60, without using improper Ian.

that Castle City derived its name from
Jack Castle, who resides in that vicinity.
Such is not the case. The town derived
its name from the castles in the air
which Henry Raymond erected there.
THERE is at present young army of
escaped Utah criminals rusticating in

criminals happen to be arrested for any

criminals character, though they per-
haps knew nothing Of the arrested party,
and the venerable Justice would turn
him loose upon the public again.
