LocAL INTELLIGENCE.


RATHER LATE. We We're handed dur.
ing the week quite lengthy communica-
zion as to the outrageous manner in which |
the dead body of Charley jerks was
treated by certain person who resides in
pshranagat Valley. The action of one
Of the men would put an Indian to
shame. The letter, we have not the
least doubt. contains nothing but plain
and truthful statement of facts, and had
Il been written at the time of the occur.
renee of the outrage, notwithstanding
that the writer displays much personal
malice toward certain individuals, we
would have published it. Certainly the
next Grand Jury should investigate the
killing of jerks. Some person, OF per-
sons. in Pahranagat stand sadly in need
Of a hemp cravat. ''The letter closes as
follows: 81 wonder how long will the
officials of Lincoln county let such people
90 unpunished and never even make an
effort to bring them to justice. A man
never knows when he goes to bed at night
whether he will be alive the following
morning. Such is life in Pahranagat
Valley The fact of the matter is, the
officers are aware that it is impossible to
convict Pahranagater of any crime.
The most OF the settlers of that valley are
so mixed up in various dirty work that
should one OF them be arrested for any
crime. as matter of self protection,
the remainder would all stand in with
him, thus making conviction an impossi-
bility.
WE are informed that the young couple
recently married down at Clover Valley
had never taken out a license for that
purpose, also that Bishop Woods had not
the authority to marry them. If this is
the case, we would suggest to the young
couple that they have their marriage done
in proper manner and according to law.
1t may save trouble in the future. The
people of the Mormon Church should
obey the laws of the State in which they
live. If Bishop Woods had the authority
to marry this young couple, he should
have known whether a license had been
taken out for this purpose before perform
ing the ceremony. We do not for one
moment suppose that any violation OF
the law was intended, but all persons
concerned certainly should have known
better.
Dan CORNELL, the man shot by the
Indians out at Lake Valley, was brought
to town on Monday and placed under
the care of Dr. Mathews. The bone Of
his leg was split and badly broken by the
bullet. Modification had taken place,
the flesh from above the knee down being
all dead. On Thursday the limb was
amputated and Cornell is now doing well.
His appearance indicates that he will re
cover, but the doctor says he is unable
TO state yet. After the amputation o
his leg, Cornell remarked that he fell
like the breaking up of a bad winter. L
appears that the Indians were put up tt
cutting Clay's water-ditch by two whit
women and white man.
DAY MINE.-The Day mine is now il
better shape than it has been for lonl
time. 1t has been thoroughly put il
good order, the tunnels and drifts il
which work is being done have all beef
cleaned out. The ore bodies have beef
cut and drifted into and ore can now b
extracted with little trouble. Mr. Grin
was expected to arrive at Royal Cit
Thursday evening. We believe that tn
company have determined to start up h
furnace at Bristol, yet cannot state posi-
tive that such is the fact.
SHORTLY after the tributers workin
in the Meadow Valley mine were give
