B. a. JONES has gone to Ann Arbor,
Mich , to study law.
JUDGE PETERS has gone to Salt Lake
TO put in week at the fair grounds.
VIE. Snow is back from the East, a
mammoth stock of goods following
him.
A MONSTER tarantula is on exhibition
in Boothe d Pierce's show window. He
is full of fight, a regular mess back, and
was iassoed at Three Mile Greek by
Berg, the barber.
LAST eve Miss Fanny Graehl was
frightened into a palpitation of the
heart by a tramp; the tramp, in turn,
was frightened into pal pitation of the
heels by Fannie's ferocious mastiff.
A LARGE vault is being built in the
court house. Yesterday Lars Larson,
one of the mechanics employed, fell
through an opening that had been cut
into the cellar from the room above,
and broke two of his ribs. DR.. David
son, his physician, says he also sus-
tanned conclusion of the liver. Lar
son suffered eXcruciating pain yester-
day while being removed to his home,
which continued throughout the night.
To-day he is resting somewhat.
Mr.. AND Mrs. NEPHI PACKER are in
from Little Grande, d. & r. G., to bury
their youngest child, Mrs. Packer, nee
Miss Helen r. HoWlInd was welded
when only IA years OF age; her first
child was born before she was Is; she
is now the mother of fourteen children
and still looks young and girlish. The
new babe died when six days old and
the mother arose from her bed of con-
finement to accompany the corpse to
this place, performing a journey OF 265
miles. She says the excitement keeps
her up. That may be true, but it is
none the less true that it is the kind of
excitement that kills.
H. Q. BADEN, section foreman, met
with an accident the other day that
might easily have resulted disastrously.
He was going down the hill north of
town, and making fast time, his trolly
was ahead of the hand car, and loaded
to its fullest cap city with
broad guage ties, when suddenly
one of the wheels split in two
precipitating the car, thirty ties and
Carl Sederholm, who was riding the
trolly, into the ditch. Ties were flying
in all directions and Carl was lodging.
The hand car stelescoped the push car
and Dutch John received a stomach
bump that doubled him up like a half
closed jack knife and made breathing,
for several minutes, more laborlous
than tie tamping.
JOHN PARKINSON was brought down
from Portage to be examined as to his
mental qualifications for a soiourn at
the Hotel de Pike, Provo. Allen and
DAVIDSON conducted the examination.
The case was pronounced one OF harm
less insanity or chronic feeble-minded =
ness and the unfortunate was re-
manded to the custody of friends TO
be treated as an imbecile and to draw
support, in part at least, from the
county. DR.. Allen was brought up
from Ogden. This raised the ire OF our
other resident M. D. and he wanted to
know why the County Court consid-
cred it necessary TO send abroad Tor
medical assistance or advice in this
particular case. The judge made no
reply, but we know what his thoughts
Ware-he feared contsgion!
THE case of II. H. Christensen vs.. c..
G. LoveIand, Sheriff was the only one
to draw Marshal Steele up from Ogden
this week; it began on Wednesday and
was carried over Thursday. The COM
missioner constituted himself court OF
review, went entirely behind the former
Judgment and oVerruled each and every
point of procedure. The following is a
verbatim account of what took place al
the close of this the second trial:
"Whereupon by reason of the law (not
word as to the evidence) it is decreed
that plaintiff RECEIVERS from the defend
ant the property described in the com
plant, if delivery cannot
be had, in case delivery
cannot be had. Defendant shall pay to
defendant $50 and the farther sum of
$40 damages by reason of the wrongful
taking thereof and the costs therein
taxed at $51 so interest thereon at tle
rate OF 10 per cent. per annum from the
date hereof. until paid, which is the
Judgment of the court, made and en-
Tered this 26day of September, 1888.
j. B CARRINGToN
Commissioner.
How do you view this new departure
of recurring interest on costs? he
marshars fees were $21.80.
LAST night three young bootblacks
burglarized n h. South's store at

lowed by Officers Smith and Hadley,
