stealing horses from himself and others |
on or about June 10Th, 1854, from their
range in Iron county, Utah. Tate was
hrou rht before Justice Fitton on the Both !
nit, After the court was fully informed
as to the nature of the charge, Tate was
asked what defence he had to make. He
demanded an Adjournment of the case to
the Sth Of July, for the purposes of get.
finr witnesses. He was informed that
he would have to give bond or deposit
u2ney for his appearance at the time
named, but refused to do either, and was
sent to Jail. The case will eventually 90
TO Cedar City, Utah, for trial. Bullock

NATIVE BuHAcH. There grows upon
the hills here a plant that, when pow
dered up, destroys bugs, flies, etc.,
the same as the buhach plant that is now
being extensively cultivated in California
Several tests of this native plant have
been made by DR.. G. L. Alexander.
The powder Of the California and the
native bdhach are placed side by side,
under separate glasses, and flies and diff
ferent kinds of bugs have been placed
under the glass, and the powder acts up.
on the insects alike, which goes to prove
that both plants contain the same prop
critics. The test of the powders shows
that neither will kill caterpillars, though
the cultivated plant of California yields
powder that contains little more
strength than the native plant on our
hills. Our plant is white, the same color
as that which is cultivated in California.
New INvENTIoN. There is a Yankee
lady in Phoebe who possesses quite an IN
yentiye turn of mind, and she frequently
invents something that tends to the COM
tort of humanity. Her latest will tend
greatly to alleviate the many discomforts
to which the poor bald.headed people are
subjected. Her husband entered the
other day and seeing his wife with a
towel wrapped around her head, asked
her the reason for doing so. She replied
that she had put it ON her head and
sprinkled some bug powder on it for the
purpose of keeping the flies off. The
plan was success for the old man says
there was not fly to be seen about the
head of his wife, but he is not positive
whether it was the powder or the looks
Of his wife that kept them away.
Day FURNACE AT Bristol the furnace
was not in shape to run till Tuesday
when it was started up at noon, with
twelve-hour shifts. The furnace is run al
much less expense than heretofore, ane
the company saves about SIG per day, oil
$3.50 per month. The new hands from
Utah desired to work l2-hour shifts, 81
the smeters now get S. per day in place
of 81, and the helpers 81 in place of $3a
1t is thus seen that the helpers get one
bit for each extra hours work, or four
bits for the four extra hours, while tn
smelters get two-bits for each extr
hour, or 81 for the four extra hours
This is big pay to Utah men.
