Sunshine after shower.
Sunday.
The snow which recently fell on the
mountains east of here will soon be non
est.
Last night was the coolest of the season.
Chris Anderson, one of the boys, is down
from Montpelier to stay.
The Bugler company will soon build on
Forest street, directly west of the Bank Of
Brigham City.
A. n. Fishburn, young man of Brig
ham, recently returned from Pocatello,
commenced business Monday.
Tomorrow the e. c. M. & M. association
open up full line of millinery goods under
the management of Miss Amelia Graehl.
This fact alone insures the success and
popularity of the business. Miss Graehl is
very popular with the ladies. Some of the
young men, also, are trying TO induce them
to carry line of gents headwear.
During the recent storms, about the only
question in regard to the weather was,
Wonder when it will clear up!' And
the most appropriate answer was, "Wait
till the clouds roll by"
The prospects for the Southern Pacific
road coming to Brigham are very bright
An agent was in town looking the matter
up and to see about buying land for the To-
cation of the depot grounds, ETC., also want
ing to secure an interest in our gas wells.
These wells promise to be a great thing
in the near future, as several parties are
looking them up. Next season they should
give employment to several hundred men.
The machinery for the new roller mills
has arrived and is being placed in position
as fast as possible. When completed
Brigham can boast of as good mills as any
town in the west
A scheme is on foot for the building of a
race track in Brigham and it no doubt will
soon be put in operation. When completed
this will be great help to the town. as it
will be as fine a track as there is in Utah,
and no doubt many parties from Ogden
and other villages near by will train
horses here, to say nothing Of our numer
Gus home sports.
The walls on the third-story of the Coop.
building are nearing completion. When
completed the second floor will be used, so
rumor says, for a ballroom. Let Us hope
such is the case.
Building improvements in Brigham City
for the year 1890, $4,000. So says Gov
ernor Thomas in his annual report. Mr..
Thomas is either very ignorant or doesn't
know much when he speaks in this wise,
as we have one store building going up to
cost from Sc, 900 to 10000, and private
residences to cost from 81 900 TO $4,000, TO
say nothing of scores of other buildings
costing from few hundreds up into the
thousands
1t appears the statement of number of
buck Indians beating and cutting a squaw
in this vicinity, which appeared in the last
issue of the Bugler, is not entirely correct.
The facts in the case, if the Indians speak
truly, are these: One Indian wanted the
squaw for a wife, and, as the course of
true love never did run smoth (probably he
did not make love to her after the Ameri-
can Style, she said him nay. John did not
see matters in the same light as did his fair
companion; SO while he was arguing the
case, somewhat after the fashion of Socra
ties, the beautiful maiden thought she saw
chance for escape, and made a bold break
for liberty. The poor, rejected lover, fear
ing he might lose all life held dear, began
pursuit. In her excitement land as love is
blind), the fair one came in close contact
with barbed-wire fence. As there is nc
escape for wrong doing, a few slight
scratches were the consequence, but moth.
ing serious. The affair also took place in
the daytime and not after dark, as stated
Some of the Indians were somewhat indig.
nant over this report, and were endeavor
ing to ascertain who gave the story to the
paper.
