dered the insane man jerks. The par
ticulars of the ARRAY, as we learn them,
are to the effect that Albright leased his
ranch to Charley Lampson, who in turn
leased it to Gus DeKay. DeKay was
engaged in having his grain threshed,
and Albright went there for his share of
the grain, according to agreement of the
lease Dekay told Albright that he
could not get his share of the grain until
it was all threshed, whereupon Albright,
who was large man, set upon DeKay,
who is Of sandhill crane build, and was
amusing himself wiping the ground with
him, when some of the men interfered
and made Albright desist, for fear that
he would kill DeKay. 1t is said TIT
Albright then left and took with him
some OF the grain in the wagon. Albright
then boosted in the valley that he was
going to kill DeKay. The next day AL
bright went down to the ranch and pro-
ceeded to load grain, when DeKay came
and shot him. DeKay says that AL
bright, on seeing him, made motion as
though to pull his gun, but on the exam
ination of Albright's body, no gun was
found on it, The coroner held an in
quest on the body at Hike, and what the
result was we did not learn, but DeKay
was permitted to go and complete thresh-
ing the grain, and an examination into
the ARRAY was to be held Friday, and we
suppose, as in all such cases in Pahrana.
gat, will result in the acquttal of De-
Kay. The above reports may be correct,
but we are of the opinion that there are
things behind this killing which we have
not learned. Most of the people of that
valley are good citizens-when asleep.
A number of them fear to move out, eX-
cepting their rifles are in the wagon at
their side. They fear that they will be
served as they have served others.
REFUSED TO MARRY THEM.-A couple
recently went down from Eagle Valley
to st. George to be united as man and
wife. The man, who would not consent
to be baptized in the faith of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints, although the
Bishops there talked long and earnestly
to him in regard to the matter, had to
forego the pleasure of being married by a
Mormon Bishop. Orders were given for
no Bishop to marry him. He finally per-
suaded the Justice of the Peace there to
tie the matrimonial knot. That night,
after the happy couple retired, the girls
OF st. George, for amusement's sake, went
and pulled the groom out of bed, and
kept the poor fellow up all night. He
would make a break for the bed when
ever an opportunity presented itself, but
the ruel-hearted girls would catch him
and pull him back. Let this be warn
ing to all in this county, and this thing
of going down to the Mecca of Southern
Utah to be married done away with.
We wish the young (?) couple much joy.
THE old year of 1884 has about run its
allotted time. But four more grains re.
maing in the glass, and the last of them
will pass away at IL o'clock next Wednes
day night, vanishing forever, and the old
year will be rung out and the new one
rung in. 1t is to be hoped the new year
will be more prosperous than the one now
passing away. All in Phoebe will be glad
at the demise of old 1884, excepting those
who will be relieved of the county offices
they now hold. They would be willing
to have old 1884 exist for all time. Yet
let us look back, and it will be seen thai
the dying one has not been so extraordi
narlly bad True, it has been dull, very
dull, yet nearly all here have enjoyed
good health and have obtained the neces
saries of life. There are many people
throughout the world that would gladly
exchange places with those in Phoebe.
