from Bullionville to Jail on Tuesday,
who were convicted of smoking opium.
They had the choice of paying fine of
$40 each or serving twenty days in the
county jail The Mongolians decided to
permit the county to provide for them.
| As the Bullionites have started in weed
ing out opium smokers from their midst,
let them act impartially, and treat both
white Snd yellow opium smokers alike.
On Friday VIM. Culverwell, of Bullion
vile, circulated petition in Phoebe for
| signatures for the release OF the China
men. Why circulate this petition in
Phoebe? The Cinnamon were convicted
in Bullionville Township, and that would
have been the place for circulating the
petition. If the Bullionites wish the
Chinese punished for dsobeying the law,
they should be. Piochers care nothing
about the private wrangles of the board
immaterial to them whether it is China
man, Italian or Englishman who secures
the most boarders.
THERE were quite a number of people
in Utah who believed in the prognosti-
cations of Virgins, and among them the
old lady at Sulphur Springs station, be-
tween Phoebe and Frisco. The old lady
had the whole of the Virgins prophecy
in regard to the storm by heart, and for
days every person who arrived at the
station was told the whole prediction,
and then the paper containing the item
was handed to them to read, and no per-
son was permitted to depart from the
station without first expressing their
views. The good old lady was firm in
her belief that old Virgins was right
and had hole dug in the side of the
hill, where there were provisions sutii-
cient to last her thirty days. However,
as Mr.. Virgins predictions have proven
incorrect, the old lady has removed her
fodder to the house. There were quite a
number of our Utah neighbors who be-
lieved in the Virgins prophecy and were
fearful of being treated to good bath.
THE little daughter recently born to
the house of Stoddard has very heavy
head of hair, measuring over two inches
in length. The doctor says it has the
heaviest head of hair of any young child
he has ever seen. Therefore our state
ment that the child wore short hair like
its daddy is incorrect. The baby is a
perfect little beauty, and does not re:em-
bic Its father, but is the very picture of
the mother. We are young and innocent,
and know nothing about babies, but be-
cause babies bawled, We naturally sup
posed that they were all ba(w)ld-headed,
hence the mistake.
HYMAN says that he sells his dry-goods,
clothing, iewelry and boots and shoes,
cheaper than any other establishment in
the county, and to be convinced of this
fact, inspect his new advertisement and
call and examine his goods.
THE Indians have mostly all gone to
Flat Nose ranch and are now engaged in
planting vegetables and melons. Chief
Sam had hard time in making the bucks
and squaws go to the ranch.
