Verdict for $4,000,

In the Third District Court at
Salt Lake City, William Daniels
sued the Union Pacific Railroad for
$4,000 damages sustained in a
wreck near Green River, in April,
1887. Daniels was in the employ
of the Union Pacific as brakeman,
and his run was between Green
River and Ogden. On the night in
question he left Green River on a
freight train bound for Ogden.
When about thirteen miles out from
Green River he was on top of a box
car, holding the train by one of the
ordinary brakes, air not then being
used. While in this position a
wheel of the Car broke, about one
third of it rolling away. As n re-
suit there was general wreck, and
Daniels awoke to find himself
pinned under car, with one leg
broken, a shoulder dislocated and
in other ways badly smashed. The
jury, after an hour and Il half's de-
liberation, brought in a verdict for
Daniels for $4,000. = Shoshone

A FATAL ACCIDENT.

Last Sunday as VIM. Howell and
family were OH their way from their
home at the Hice ranch to visit
Commodore Jackson's family, their
little three-and-a-half year old
daughter met with an accident that
caused her death on Monday night.
The family were In wagon, mother
and father on the front seat and
two little girls on a seat just behind
them. After passing Charlie Oil
ver's place a short distance they
came to rough place in the road
and the mother extended her hand
to the youngest girl to protect her,
and the child reaching for but fail
ing to grasp her mothers hand, fell
from the wagon, and one Of the
wheels ran over her head, crushing
the skull. The little sufferer was
taken to her parents home and Mr..
Oliver fastened to this place for a
physician. DR.. VIM. +. Smith inn
mediately started out to attend the
child, but his well known skill fail
ed to do more than alleviate the
pain of the unfortunate little girl
for time, and she died the follow
ing night. Mr.. and Mrs. Howell
have the sympathy Of all for the
sudden taking off of their little dar-
ling. The remains of the little girl
were taken to Ogden for burial.

GET HERE IN TINE.

Elmorc county is sure to be or
ganized at no distant day. If our
claims are not recognized by the
legislature to convene next Monday
our people will then seek justice be-
fore Congressman get it without
doubt. Mountain Home will con-
tinue to be the principal railroad
town if not the shiretown Of the
county, and is destined to contain
many thousand inhabitants before
another decade, provided its new
settlers are people Of industry and
enterprise. With such a reasonable
outlook for this place it is indeed
surprising that some one does not
forsee the advantages to be derived
by taking time by the forelock and
Immediately commence the erection
of large and tirst-class hotel in
Mountain Homc-one that would
attract guests instead of driving
them away to Caldwell or some
other place where comfort and
good cheer can be enjoyed. A good
hotel is one of the greatest blessings
that a town can possess, and as
there is scarcely night that some
one is not compelled to seek lodg-
ings at private houses here, it is
simply amazing that stock COM
pany is not Immediately formed for
the erection Of such an enterprise or
that some seeker after good loca-
ton does not drop in upon us and
commence operations in this line.
Such another oportunity will not
again be offered in this western
world for the profitable Investment
of capital as getting in here before
the great swarm ofhumanity that is
heading this way reaches us, and
erecting large and good hotel that
would be pride to our town and a
benefit to the promoters as well as
the public generally. Eastern or
Western men who desire to embark
in the hotel business had better Wis
it Mountain Home and take in it's
acknowledgements make their visit
early, too.

A PRIVATE RESERVOIR,

Amos Lee and Nelse Anderson
have commenced the building of
dams about half mile above the
junction of Canyon and Rattlesnake
creeks, and on each creek, which
when completed will overflow a
large basin between the two creeks
and also be of incalculable benefit
to other ranchers below, who may
feel disposed to avail themselves Of
the stored water. The dams will
be pushed to completion as fast as
possible and will doubtless be ready
for the spring raise in these two
creeks. This is q wise move in
Messrs. Lee and Anderson, and
when its benefits are realized it
may cause other land owners to
adopt similar plan or sink arte-
sian wells for irrigating purposes.
The cost will be light in compari-
son to other projects of this kind
and the benefits to accrue will soon
repay the outlay. Mr.. Lee thinks
from the nature of the lard, that
water that is caught in the spring
may be stored for use till as late as
the middle of August. Should his
expectations be verified, Lee & An
derson will, ere six months have
passed, possess one of the most val
liable ranches in this section.

MARRIAGE OF GEO. FLETCHER.

Last Sunday George W. Fletcher
stole quietly away from Mountain
Home, taking the east-bonnd train,
ostensibly on business visit to
Wood River. On his return, We'd
nesday, everybody was surprised
that he was accompanied by a hand
some young lady, and doubly sur
prised that George was introducing
the lady as Mrs. Fletcher. Some
who had not met Mrs. Fletcher, sr.,
supposed that George was introduce
ing the wife of his uncle, but soon
the fact became known that on
Tuesday, the 9TH day of December,
1888, Geo. w. Fletcher, jr., and
Miss Jennctte Stein were married in
Bellevue at the residence Of Mr.. De-
lano, Rev. l. T. Osborn officiating.
Then congratulations were heaped
upon the happy heads Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Fletcher by their many
friends.
Mr.. Fletcher is young man of
strict integrity and good business
qualifications, as the success of the
firm Of Fletcher & Simpson attests,
and although his bachelor circle of
friends mourn his sudden withdraw
al from the Mountain Home Hug
ging Club (for the benefit of the
church) yet they bow with respect
full reverence to his wise and manly
decision.
Miss Stein formerly taught school
at Rocky Bar, but for some time
has been attending Dartmouth Col
lege, Boston, where she recently
graduated. She is a young lady
possessing many high attainments
and will be welcome addition to
Mountain Home society.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fletcher departed
by private conveyance on Thurs
day for Rocky Bar, where Mr.. F.
will take charge of the business of
the firm at that place during the
few months absence Of Mr.. Simpson
in the east. After which Mr.. and
Mrs. Fletcher will take up their
