Evidently a Fraud,

Last night, a wing man named
Wherritt, who says he comes from
Bingham Junction, brought up in
lower Fifth Street saloon. He says he
had been drinking some" and that
about 10 o'clock he was peremptoril Y
laid out and his watch and about ten
dollars in money were stolen. He does
not know what struck him, but he
shows a wound on his temple from
which blood has flowed. He has a
suspicion as TO the identity of bis as
sailant.
The above paragraph is taken from
the Ogden Herald of Thursday evening.
The reporter who wrote the item was
evidently imposed upon by the indiyi-
dual, who claims to have been knocked
down and robbed, and who it seems
took that method of eliciting sympathy
from friends of his family, which is said
to be a respectable one. From an eye
witness we learn the following account
of what occurred in the saloon referred
to: Wherritt went into the saloon
pretty full" and walked up to man
who was standing there and began
abusing him without any previous
alteration having ensued, and with
out any apparent cause. Wher-
rift pulled off his coat and
insisted that the stranger should fight
him; but the man declined saying he
had no row with him and did not want
one and further would not have one.
Wherritt however would not be satisfied
and finally after he had thrown of his
coat the third time and had called the
stranger some very hard names, Just to
accommodate the fellow, the stranger
- hn
knocking him down. Wherritt got up
and was knocked down a second time
when he concluded that he had had
enough and with a friend skunk out of
the place and went of up town. The
next morning Wherritt was found in
an Indian camp near the city. To
cap the climax he had the item in
serted in the Ogden Herald and on
the strength of that and his miserable
tale of woe borrowed some money 10
leave the town with. The gentleman
who loaned him the money said he did
not expect to get it back again, but only
lethim have it because of the previous
acquaintance of his and Wherritts
father. This row occurred in the
same saloon in which the row occurred
Fridsv evening and which is rapidly
gaining a rather hard name; but We
have not yet heard OF us name OelnS SO
hard as. young Wherritt would ike to
make it appear. The police will PROB
ably keep q little closer watch OF the
place in future.

LOGAN LINES.

Something that will prove a lasting
benefit to our city is now being started
by the Logan Literary and Debating
Society, backed by the city. Their OF
iect is to start a reading room in the
central part OF the city and have it large
enough to accommodate fifty or sew
enty-five persons; have it well lighted
and warmed and then invite the general
public, aud especially the boys who
congregate on street corners to loaf and
make pleasant remarks about pedes-
trians. 1t will be started up within
week or two and be open each evening
except Sunday. People of Logan are
asked to contribute their surplus vol
umes, old periodicals and any reading
matter not in use. ALI Barber is presi-
dent, and G Z. Blair, secretary Of the
Society.
THERE is little or no demand for
cattle at present.
BUSINESS is quite brisk and merchants
seem quite hopeful.
