our private museum, to be handed down to

Police Officer Johnson had q narrow
escape Sunday night from being shot. He
had arrested Hugh Rourke, notorious
tough" and while on the way to the city
hall with the prisoner the latter resisted,
striking and attempting to choke Johnson.
The officer struck Rourke with his revolver
to quiet him and as he did so it fell from
his hand. A crowd had gathered during
the struggle in which was one of Rourke's
fellow toughs by the name of Hogan, who
picked up the gun, pointed it at johnson
and fired; the ball passing SO near his head
as to make it very uncomfortable. Hogan
kept the gun pointed at Johnson while
Rourke made good his escape and then fol-
lowed him up the street, leaving johnson
unarmed and without his prisoner. He
soon armed himself and started in pursuit
but was unable to find them until the next
morning when both were captured and
lodged in Jail. Monday afternoon they
were taken before Justice Hoyt and
Rourke, for resisting an officer, was fined
$40, and Hogan, for aiding prisoner to
escape, got fine of s25.
Two of the Parks well-known citizens
got their wrath aroused about some old
trouble Sunday afternoon and made things
exciting for few minutes, around the
bank and Bettinger's saloon. A broken
window at each place and the loss of little
blood by one of the participants, were the
extent OF the injuries. Street fights in the
Park are OF unusual occurrence and this
soon drew large crowd, which gave the
street quite an exciting appearance.
q. P. Ferry left the Park Wednesday for
Michigan to look after his business inter
ests there. Mr.. Ferry will probably be
gone month.
Ex-Police Officer John M. Martin was in
the Park this week from Ogden.
The friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew
Young will be panied to learn of the death
OF their infant, which occurred Tuesday
morning. The baby, a ten pound girl, was
born Monday morning, only to peacefully
and quietly pass away the next morning.
The blow was sad one to the young par
ents but they may take consolation in the
fact that their many friends share with
them their sorrow.
