POINTERS FROM PROVO.
Election Echoes-The Improvements Being
Made in the Garden City.

There were but few scratched tickets at
the election in Provo on Monday.
THE HERALD's report of the election was
conceded by all parties to be the most &C
curate and complete.
The Liberals feel jubilant over the news
from Salt Lake. Hon. David Evans was
fairly astonished. He says, I'VE didn't ex-
pect so much"
, A number of gentlemen mot carpet-bag-
gers) expect to go from here to the Liberal
hurrah in Salt Lake city, if the thing actu-
ally takes place Saturday night.
Hon w. H. King, of this city, was in
Ogden last Saturday night, and spoke at
the Peoples rally outside of the tabernacle.
He reports the wild enthusiasm in the
junction city was immense on both sides.
Mr.. A. H Greer, of Wallsburg was in
Provo yesterday. He reports the people of
that thriving village as enjoying very good
health. The scarcity of water for irri-
CATION is more severely felt in Wallsburg
than in Provo.
Mr. Thomas H. bruce is building near
little brick residence in the Fourth ward.
Mr. bruce recently sold his property in
Salt Lake city, and to avoid the rendering
calamity of Liberal rule, came to Provo,
where he can make better home at half
the cost This item is gwen for the benefit
of other Salt Lakers desiring to better their
surroundings.
1t is understood now that the brickmakers
are able to fill all orders for bricks on short
notice, consequently brick nasons are
fairly driven with work. The large num-
Der of brick houses in course of erection
indicates degree of prosperity in Provo,
that will compare favorably with some of
the booming towns north of her. What's
the matter with PrOvo3

pearance of a woodsman. He wore SLOUGH

his belt. He entered the sleeper and drove
the porter to one end of the car The

The Laredo rascott suspect.

CHICAGO, Aug. S.-A special from La
redo, Texas, gives description of the Tas
colt suspect under arrest there, which
tallys more closely with that of the much
sought fugitive than any previous capture.
The prisoners appearance corresponds ex-
actly with the description contained in the
circular issued by the relatives of Smell, the
millionaire for whose murder Tascott is
wanted. The scars on Tascott's elbow and
legs have their counterparts on the Laredo
man and it is thought there is no gold in
the prisoners front teeth, a cavity which
had once been filled is there.
The arrest grew out of the suspect knock
ing at the sheriff's residence and asking for
something to eat. The sheriff noticed a
similarity to Tascott's description and after
questioning the young man subsequently
put him under arrest. The prisoner was
induced to write few words and his hand
writing strongly resembles the fac simile
of Tascott's chirography. The sheriff has
forwarded photograph of the prisoner to
Chicago
