The report came to town last night that
)rson Dewey, son of Bishop John Dewey,
of Deweyville, d young man about twenty
Years of age had died of some stomach
disease Nothing positive could be learned.
The Saturday night following the Both
well excitement here the boys got out
with the brass band, two cannon and over
a hundred flaming torches. They made
one of the grandest displays that fair Brig
ham has ever witnessed.
The bear performance on the streets
yesterday set all the kids of the town on
tip-toe. From a casual glance, one would
suppose that it would take a close discerning
narration between beast and master.
S. n. Lee has returnrd from his oblig
atory soiourn at our mundane pande-
mCnium near the capital. He has resumed
his labOrs at his old post in the tithing of
fice and once more is leader of the Sunday
choir.
The people did get somewhat excited here
a week ago, Friday, at the Boutwell, de-
nonstratiOn. Both cliques seem to have
aI ha q y h
ton of citizens against city officials is
bumiliating and disgraceful. After cooling
OF a little, no doubt, both parties can
appreciate the righteousness of their ardor.
On the first of the week a number of our
'.SHreshingr rustlers took their outfit into
Cache valley to help the farmers there.
Most of the threshing has been done in
this vicinity: the crops in Cache are some
what later. Leman Johnson, Orson Hyde
and Frank Hawkins conducted one party,
and they expect to be kept busy there for
month.
DR.. L. Berg has moved his headquarters
from his place in the Third ward to more
suitable spot on Main street. Gradually
the business portion of the city is being
built up for business purposes and the back
streets abandoned for the quieter element
to reside. This drawing together of the
business community denotes progress.
There was man seen providing around
in the Second ward on Young's street a
few nights ago with neither hat, coat,
shoes or stockings on. At first glance he
was taken for an escaped lunatic because
ofohls general wild, wierd aspect. When
aware that he was observed he dashed off
Like frightened beast. He was recognized
and watchful eye is upon him now.
The following timely suggestion which
appeared in our Ogden department of Sun
days HERALD is also most applicable to our
Brigham city people: '1Ogden is greatly in
need of a good canning factory. With
fruit rotting on the ground, labor cheap,
and the best of railroad facilities, to say
nothing of home markets, no better invest
mett for capital can be found" 1t is really
pity that such quantities of fruit should
loe imported from eastern and western can
AeFies, to localities where as good, if not
better, fruits are raised. There is money
here awaiting such an enterprise.
B. G. Fox, the mormon with Danish
wife and four children" was arrested a
short time ago in Park City on the charge
of forgery, committed in Brigham several
months ago. He had hearing before JUS
tice NJ. L. Ensign, yesterday Mr.. Fergu-
son. of Salt Lake appeared for the defend
ant and r. H. Jones for the prosecution.
After wrangling over the case all day, Mr..
Fox was at last bound over. 1t seems that
he was selling sewing machines in this
neighborhood. He came TO the house Of a
Dane called Jensen, who could understand
little of the English language. Jensen
claims he wanted no machine, but Fox left
one after writing out notes and putting
Jensen's cross to it.
There must be a dozen men with as many
teams, from Brigham, securing the country
Nor miles around, in the interest of the
pomologists of our burg. Our fruits, by
this name, reach Cache valley, Rich
county, Bear lake and most of Southern
Idaho and parts of Wyoming and Montana
The fruit business is thus being worked
''for all that's out" but this does not
amount TO hundredth part of the great
quantities shipped by rail People
from the remotest parts of Gentle valley,
and points even farther north come to
Brigham, load their wagons down with our
luscious fruits and fine vegetables and
drive off homeward- bound as if they were
carrying away a load Of gold dust.
