leisure this afternoon in jotting down
few notes of my trip from Tayler
to this place. After assisting to bury
poor Stanley at Osceola | took the
buck board the same afternoon and
travelled as far as Gregory's ranch.
The following morning Sunday we
started from Grsgory's at 7 o'clock
and at half-past three O'Clock the
next morning we reached Frisco just
in time for the train for this city over
the Utah Central railroad. 1t was a
cold, dusty ride across the desert
after nightfall, but Mr. Beers was
very kind and made our trip as pleas
ant as possible. The train leaves
Frisco at 4 o'clock A. N. and reaches
this place at p. NJ, thus involving
8 hours ON the road including stop
pages. The travel on the road is
purely local and from the Frisco end

but it was of short duration, for at
Milford lady accompanied by four
children entered the car and dis
turbed my slumbers, and 30 on we
increased in numbers until upon
reaching this city we had three cars
"chuck full. The great number
OF children among the passengers
was what most attracted my attention.
If lady entered the cars bearing an
infant in her arms 1t was safe wager
that she would be followed by from
three to seven other older infants
with the "pater familis or some
other male relative or friend bringing
up the rear, all neatly clad and
healthy and intelligent looking. One
family of live little girls positively
attracted my attention. The youngest
was in arms and the oldest was not
over seven years of age. They were
elegantly and tasteluly attlred, but
in such peculiar manner. They
were dressed ali just anke, and yet
not alike. There was shade or
probably two shades difference IN an
article worn by one from the same
article worn by tbs others. Their

fashioned ON the same block, but by
