A good one is told on Deputy Sheriff Hunt,
of this place, which occurred at the scene Of
last Thursdays accident. Some California
party was fearful that, owing to the swiftness
of the stream, their baggage would be lost,
which was very valuable, and offered cool
thousand dollars to the one that would save
it. In the meantime Mr. Hunt was working
with might and main saving baggage, and
getting hold of the piece in question, landed
it safely and turned it over to the party to
whom it belonged, and went back to his work.
1t was not until after the party had secured
the baggage and started back to Grand juno
ton on the relief train, did he learn Of the
offering of the reward. Bill hasn't got
through kicking yet.

r..c Railroad War at ogden.

From the Salt Lake Herald
The Denver Il Rio Grande and Union Pa
cific railroads have had circus of their own
at Ogden within Il recent date. 1t is gener-
ally understood that old scores exist between
these roads, owing to difficulties which arose
in Denver, and the Union Pacific officials
have been watching the progress of the Den
yer & Rio Grande toward Ogden, and pre-
pared to resist any operations of that road Oh
Union Pacific ground at Ogden. The narrow
gauge road is completed as far as the Weber
river, but their bridge across that river is yet
incomplete, but will be t.nished inside of two
DAYS. The Union Pacific have had men
watching the Denver & Rio Grandc in order
to resist any attempt at track laying on their
ground but on Saturday night, during the
rain, the employees of the narrow gauge road
stole a march on the Union Pacific men.
They nailed til, track together, having ties,
fish-plitcs and everything complete and car
ried ii on their shoulders to the place desired,
where it was deposited About 200 feet of
track had thus been laid down when the move
was discovered, and the Union Pacific men at
once rushed to their posts. A switch engine
was run down down to the place, and chain
securely fastened from it to the narrow gauge
track that had been dropped in the manner
specified; when steam was put on and away
went the engine dragging the impromptu track
with it. The wreck was piled up some dis
tance off. The ears We're kept running back
and forth the whole night long across the
place, so that the workmen dare not attempt
to relay the misplaced track. 1t is under
stood the Union Pacific people officially pro-
tested to Denver & Rio Grande representa-
tives against the latter road piling any ma
terials or attempting to do any work on the
ground of the former.
While the Denver & Rio Grande will be
completed to Ogden tomorrow evening, when
its bridge is TO be completed, and will have
trains running the evening following, that
ty in getting depot grounds. As near as can
be ascertained the grounds on which the Cen
tral Pacific, Union Pacific and Utah Central
dcpots ut Ogden are located, belong to the
companies jointly, and the conditions of the
agreement between these roads is that
other road may enter without the consent of
all the parties, q consent which the Denver K
Rio Graude can not obtain hence the diff.
Guilty, and hence Sunday nights trouble. II
is learned however, that the Denver 4 Rio
Grand will overcome this opposition by lay
ing third rail on the Central Pacific track
a thing the other roads cannot prevent-and
will thus be enabled to reach Ogden. At to
where it will secure grounds for a depot, in
view of the circumstanstances above referred
to, remains to be seen.

He Could Not Tell a Lie.


II was solemn poet man,
Full haggard and foorn,
That came unto the editor
One summer sunny morn,
And placed within his ieweled hand,
That erstwhIle in mood
OF loving kindness written had
Of foemen something good,
Some manuscript, and seating then
Himself in cushioned chair,
Spoke boldly out, first smoothing down
His tangled locks of hair.
II know full WE'LL" the poet said,
"That oftentimes it Is
The painful duty of your craft
To run their little sciss-
Ors through the thought, of other men
Which may not be expressed
Within your columns as psrchance,
An antiquated jest,
Or verses on an oillamp death
All these, know, must fall
Beneath the awful ban that spreads
Above them like pail
"Bnt have here little thing,
Qull6 touching IN It's way,
That tells OF ripping waters
Ard the smell of new-mown hay;
The bashful maden's witching smile,
The lowing of the kline;
The meadows, spangled DER with flowers,
The sunset most divine,
Are also pictured By the use
OF softly-sounding words,
And over all there comes the sweet
Low twittering Of the birds"
Twas then up spoke the editor:
''Your scheme is good" he said;
"Un the ripping water racket
You are reall, quite ahead.
But the spaagled meadow business
And tile blushing country maid
Have long since copyrighted Deen,
And therefore I'm afraid
That your story will not answer;
But if you could only make
The maiden sweep the parlor
1t would simply take the cake.''
The poet man was much downcast,
The lustre left his eye,
And rising up to go, he said,
" cannot tell lie.''
