Mrs. Grant is seriously i'll, aud the
concession is made that it is not prob
able that she will attend any of the
ceremonies of the funeral. The gen
eral facts given in these dispatches
on Sunday night have been the sub
ject of much contradiction, until the
Eastern press conceded the fact that
she is not only sick, but her death is
likely to follow with dramatic promp-
titude upon that of her husband.

Deputy city marshal Tom Morrow,
received close call on Friday even
ing last. Coming from home about
dark his attention was attracted by
pistol shot somewhere in the vicinity
of Moore & Boomers stable. In hunt
ing for the party who fired it he ran
across four soldiers near Capital
Square, one of whom had sack. He
called halt. Two soldiers obeyed.
The third he was forced to knock
down with his club, and SO took him
in. The fourth man, who carried the
sack, also refused. Morrow then
pressed him 50 closely that he drop
ped the sack quick as fash and fred
a pistol at the deputy marshal, short
range. The bullet creased the left
cheek bone, or a little above. A
quarter of an inch further to the right
and Tom Morrow would have been
buried yesterday afternoon. After
delivering his shot the soldier took to
his heels and escaped, notwithstand-

a mass OF bones covered with hide, was

The reporter turned and beheld buck.
ster's team coming up the grade toward
the corral, just back of him, being driven
by woman. 1t being very rare for a
woman of the Land of Zion to visit
Phoebe, the reporter waited till the team
was brought to halt in the corral, and
then went over to interview the lady, and
after informing her the way to dispose of
her produce to the best advantage, find
ing her talkative, the following converse.
ton ensued:
"You be Mormon inquired the
lady, and the reporter, with a winsome
smile, informed the lady that he had the
honor of being member of the Lords

81 took you to be one of us Mormons,
by your looks" and the reporter again
assured the lady that such was the case.
81 suppose you are from the Santa
Clara, madame?" asked the reporter,
wearing bewitching smile, as the woman
was comedy.

ut is seldom that lady of Utah
comes to Phoebe, and especially alone"
"Well, you see, our men in Utah have
all been frightened off by the law officers,
and us women have to drive the teams
and sell what little produce we can"
Indeed; that is too bad. 1t must
work a hardship, notwithstanding the
great Inconvenience, for you to drive
team and be away from home week or
80 at the time?'
''No, not very hard. / would rather
drive my own team"
That's strange" said the reporter, a
little surprised.
There's nothing strange about it.
When the old man was with us, he'd call
around to each house. gather up all the
eggs, chickens, butter. and anything else
that we could rake up that he thought
would sell, and take it down to Silver
Reef or up here to Phoebe and sell it. He
would pocket all the money, and would
frequently bring a dress home to his
youngest wife, as nasty and lazy huzzy
as lives in Utah. When one of us Other
women want gown, we had to get some
ugly old rag out of the coop by trading
for it; but now sell the things mysel
and get the money, and I'll wear just al

MARRIED. last Sunday afternoon,
at Osceola, 10 Huff, of bennington, Utah,
aged 81, weight l25 pounds, was married
to widow Mckee, relict of ex.Sherif w,
L. Mckee Of this county. On the news
of the marriage reaching Phoebe, it so
shattered the nervous system of Deputy
Sheriff Sam Smith that he was pros
trated. We are happy to state at last
report hopes were entertained of his re-.
covery. Two tons of ice was consumed
in cooling off his delirious brow.
A MAN arrived in town last Sunday
from California. He had packed his
blankets all the way. He visited many
camps in search of employment, but was
unable to secure work. He reports the
whole country as dormant. People re-.
siding in little camps, unable to get
away, and were barely able to keep body
and soul together. The man left next
day, in search of place where there is
less people and more work.
The Indians hereabouts are rascally
set. No dependence can be placed in
them. We paid one two.bits on Monday
to take our Office cat away and kill her.
The redman soon returned, reported the
cat cheap Dead" and received his coin.
The Indian had not any more than got
out Of the Office when in walks Mrs. Cat,
and pronounced the Indian a gigantic
liar.
