TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
DAWSON METHODIST SUNDAY
SCHOOL, Feb. 3rd, 1884: (

SCHOOL, Feb. 3rd, 1854:
Whereas, It has pleased an
all-wise and merciful Providence
to remove from our midst, our
friend and brother, U. L. WESTON,
therefore be it
Resolved LIST, That in his death
the Sunday school has lost a sin
cere friend and an earnest worker;
society one of its brightest orna-
ments and the community a true
and noble citizen. In fact, we may
say, he was true in all the relations
of life, possessing every element
of a symmetrical manhood and
Christian gentleman.
Resolved End, While we feel
keenly the loss we have sustained,
we can but bow submissively to
the will of Him "who doeth all
things WE'LL" believing our loss to
be his eternal gain.
Resolved 3rd, That to his be-
reaved relatives we hereby extend
our heartfelt sympathies and con-
dolence and prayfully invoke for
them the mercies and comforts of
our gracious Heavenly Father.
Resolved 4th, That a blank page
of the minutes of this school be
set apart and dedicated to the
memory of the deceased, and a
copy Of these resolutions be fur
nished the Dawson JOURNAL for
publication.

to make the race, covered them
selves with glory. They enjoy
the reputation of having the fast
est and finest pack of dogs ever
brought to this country.

The Rio Grande Trouble.

SALT LAKE Cry, May 2l.-Yesterday
the defendants filed a very long answer
in the case of the Denver & Rio Grande
western, VS.. the Denver & Rio Grande
1t assails the legality of the lease under
which tho former company holds and OPP
crates its Utah lines, claiming it had no
power to make or its directors to ratify
the contract set up by the plaintiffs as the
ground on which Colonel Dodge claims to
perpetnally manage the leased road. The
defendants allege that the contract was
drawn against their interests by Palmer,
Dodge, Bass and others who were acting
at the same time as officers and council
for the Denver Il Rio Grande, Denver &
Rio Grande western, and Denver & Rio
Grande Construction company, and to
provide for their profit in the second com
pany. They state that from the first that
the terms of the contract were known to
only about one dozen of the stockholders.
That when the company became fully in
formed of the transaction, President Pal
mer found it best to resign. They allege
the terms of the case were violated by the
Denver & Rio Grande western, in that
they did not turn over the road in the
condition agreed upon, that is, in good
running order, fully equipped for bust
ness, and that the road was. incomplete,
in bad order a~ndpossessed nothing beyond
construction equipment, that to complete
and equip the road, defendant has been
obliged to expend upwards of $500, 900 of
his own funds, and that Dodge has run
the Utah lines at a loss of $500, 900 al
ready; that to further injure defendant he
increased expenses in April nearly 1000
in excess of any previous month; that he
is incompetent, unsafe; that if his claim
is sustained, he can and is disposed to
run leased lines at such expense and pre-
scribe such tariff as will make the Utah
roads q loss to the company; claim that
Palmer and Dodge alleged that the
lease was provisioned, the company only
to be superseded by the consolidation of
the companies; that while necessary au-
thority had been granted by the legisla-
ture of Colorado, no steps had been taken
to complete such consolidation. Many
other reasons were alleged why the con
tract and lease were Illegal and oppressive.
Defendants ask decree in their behalf,
that the court direct that the indebted
ness of plaintiff to defendant be judicially
a~sccrtained; that it remain a charge
against plaintiffs and defendants quoted
in possession until such charge be paid;
that reasonable rent be fixed by the court.

1t is n sad cynic who can withstand the
infectious fun of the sparkling comedy,
Confusion. From the rising of the cur
tain upon the mischances of single day
events in Jersey Lodge, London, until
the last stage setting at its close, a de
lighted audience made the walls of the
| Opera house echo with laughter rs every
additional droll situation of the play was
brought to view. OF MIR. Nat G. Good
win fame as a comedian no ommen Of
ours will add to or detrnct from. A per-
feet comprehension of his subject, com
bined with absolute command of facial
expression, enables him to portray the yari-
Gus emotions into which very many mis-
conceptions and grave suspicious plunge
that gentleman of the old school, Mr..
Christopher Blizzard, with life-like idel-
ity, and rates him as an artist of the front
rank in comedy. OF the minor characters
Mr.. William Herbert as James, " the
typical English man servant, deserves
special mention, while Miss Maria Davis
rendition of the difficult character Of
Miss Lucretia' was creditable. The
stage management was perfect, the very
short intcrmissions between acts were ap-
preciated, and the play, as an entirety, one
Of the most satisfactory that has ever
visited us.
Tomorrow will be circus day and a very
lively time may be anticipated.
OF Mr.. and Mrs. George Knight, who
appear here on next Monday evening, the
San Francisco Call says .
The Knights presented, at the Baldwin.
Fred. Marsdcn speciality piece, called
OhO, in which both Mr.. and Mrs. Knight
have many Characteristic bits, and which
is light and laughable from beginning to
end. 1t is intended to represent the
fortunes Of Il young German adventurcr
in the United States; as the various scenes
titled, he is ''adriit, - in storm at
anchor, y and at last I'm safe harbor. 70

makes some good points. especially in the

jodel singing not unworthy of a native of
