walks is a subject of considerable comment

enterprise.
An enterprising real estate agent of this
CITY saws Ogden's greatness is entirely in
the future At present she is nothing but
a big overgrown country town with slow
country ways For example, he says the
manners of the people on the streets are
ANYTHING but metropolitan. Crowds OF
men block the sidewalks in the busiest
part of town, standing square in the CEN
tire, where men, women and children must
and policemen do 90 around them. In
other cities these things would not be al
lowed. He complains that the officers Go
not know their duties.
From reliable authority we arc informed
that Ed Fisher, the convicted Rio Grande
robber, has been guilty of several heinous
crimes, among which was one committed
some two or three years ago in New Mex
leo Some parties had torn up the track in
order to wreck and afterwards rob pas
senger train, but were prevented from &C
complishing their end bg the arrival of a
switch engine ahead of the passenger. Tho
engine was wrecked, but the engineer
managed to go back aud notify the passen-
ger train. II is stated that Fisher, as well
as Rummell and Curtis, who are under ar
rest now in Salt Lake, were all participants
in this crime. Fisher evidently is very bad
citizen.
