Yesterday Justice Archer sentenced
Hal. Clayton, Digger Indian, to 80
days in the County Jail for assault
and battery. 1t appears that the
Indian and Piute squaw were play
ing poker, and the woman won his
money. He then took the money
away from her and in the quarrel
which arose beat her severely.-[Sil-
YER State.
This is the same Indian who spends
a large part Of his time in our county
jail. The residents of this place will
not be sorry that he is out of the way
for at least 80 days more. He is q
"bad 1njun" and the only time some
of our people feel safe from his in
suits is when he is in the cooler.

Beef Cattle.

The Journal desires to impress up
on its Utah readers the fact that beef
cattle next Spring will be worth about
double the present market prices.
We mention Utah for the reason that
if the alfalfa crop Of this year is
properly saved it will fatten a major
lily Of the matured steers of the Terri
tory. Hence they should be held over
and hay-fed for the Spring market.
Every farmer in Utah who has sufi-
cient feed should buy steers and
.ripen them for the April Market
