Several parties have been ''blowing'
around town that they would betSlOO TO $50

$40 has in every case shown up, when the

We would like to suggest that the numer-
Gus tramps who are securing our city and
neighborhood be 'roped i'm and set to
work picking up and hauling off the thou
sands of small pebble stones with which
our principal highways are strewn. If we
cannot afford sprinkling cart, we should
at least have the streets smooth. The
tramp might Just as well be improving our
town, as reposing lazily in limits.
The C. p. agent at Terrace, a young man
named w. L. Mcclellan, was arrested and
brought to town Monday. He is accused
of having hand in the spiriting away Of
81, 800 of express money at that place. He
had no trouble in getting bondsmen from
Ogden, and will be here for trial to-day.
About nine months ago something was
thought to have been crooked at the same

There was a ridiculously interesting case
before Commissioner Darlington Tuesday.
1t seems that an old lady, about fifty. and
an old gentleman of nearly eighty had a
scrap over a grind stone, which the old
man had had several years. The woman
had him arrested for assault and battery,
but when the commissioner saw. with
establishment, that the defendant was an
infirm, weather beaten old man close on to
a hundred, who had difficulty in moving
hand or foot, the case was dismissed.
The other evening, a party of young folks
had big lark. They went to a house Of a
friend who was out visiting with his family.
A wincow was entered, the doors all flung
ajar, the cellar found and relieved of half
a-dozen bottles of beer, the cupboard ran
sacked, and with the plumber they repaired
to the lawn when a hilarious time was had.
After devouring everything but the empty
bottles, spreads, plates, etc, they moved of
stealthily. When the owner came home he
beheld with astonished eyes what had
taken place ''Tramps-robbers- he
said, with laugh, that's all right" Put
Dave Rees on to 'em.
There is. at present, considerable talk OF
starting weekly paper here, but whether
or otherwise remains to be seen. Once or
twice this has been proposed before, but
eventually the scheme blew up. II Brig
ham, with a population OF 5000, or Box
Elder county, with about 5000 inhabitants,
cannot or, to speak to the point, will not
support weekly paper, it needs stirring
up TO an alarming extent. All the mer-
chants and live men of the town are in for
| it, and say they will help good sheet ON
with money talk. We wish it every sue
cess in the world, and hesitatingly suggest
that the paper be called Boz Elder Bosh.

Governor Eaton, of Colorado, was in
town Friday. He was shown over the city
and envirOns by 0. G. Snow, who enter
tanned him as q stranger expects and de-
serves to be entertained. The governor
expressed himself as being delighted with
this part of Utah. The beautiful green
orchards with the boughs weighted down
to the ground with their heavy load Of
luscious fruits, the expansive fields of
gilded grain, vineyards with a yield the
like of which the governor had never
dreamed of seeing here, pleased and even
astonished him. The object of Mr. Eaton's
visit to Utah is to go over the ground of the
proposed canal and to look into its feasibil
ity. Whether the water be taken out or
not is left almost entirely with this gentle
man. who is said to have constructed canals
all the way from twenty miles up to eighty
seven in length, and is one Of the canal eX-
perts of the country
