BRIGHAM CITY BITS
A Newsy Grist From the Flour
ishing Burg.
The Box Elder Herald Winks Out-Burglars
Getting in Their Work Almost
Nightly.

E. H. Jones, the merchant prince OF
Kelton, Utah, came up from Ogden this
morning.
HE. Bowring went to Salt Lake this
morning on business.
Bert Bowring. of Salt Lake, has been
with US several weeks, enjoying his vac0-
ton hugely.
Mrs. ), b. Newman is visiting friends in
our fair city for few days.
DIR. o. C. Ormsby passed through here
on his way home this morning.
George Barton, Of Ogden, paid US fly
ing visit Sunday.
RI. Fishburn, jr., has a lovely home
going up in the Second ward. When COM
pleted, il will be another ornament to the
city.
The light Of the Box Elder Herald has
gone out and we have but one paper, which
10 enough for us at present The proprie
tor has gone TO Nephi, where we hope ne
will meet with better success, which he de-
serves.
Brig Hansen, who has been insane for
some time past, is no better. He requires
constant care, and when at his worst two
or three men can hardly manage him.
We have our share Of highly interesting
political meetings, and the speakers have
been Of the best. Everybody turned out
The ladies seemed interested, too, and were,
of course, complimented on their lovely ap-
pearance. Some Of the younger ones
thought . few Of the Republican speakers
s.too cute for anything" out IL we had one
or two mere like Mr.. Horr or John
Henry Smith we are satisfied the whole
town will go Democratic with Q boom.
Last night We had visit from the fes-
tive burglar. Craghead's fruit stand was
broken into and ABOUT thirty dollars cash
taken, the men helping themselves 70
cigars, cigarettes, candy, fruit, etc. Mr..
Crsghead found the door open when he
came from home TO meet the passenger
train at IL O'Clock. He notified Marshal
Boden, who turned out at once and secured
three men hidden behind the lumber in the
old coop store, which is partly torn down,
and being turned into an opera house. The
marshal being alone did not secure the
fourth man, who escaped through the back
way. For some days we have seen q party
OF well dressed trsmps lying around, two OF
whom wore plug hats The railroad ticket
ofice was also visited. The ticket agent
came down early as usual TO sell tickets for
the passenger, when upon opening the
cash drawer, found it completely cleaned
out. Here, however, they had only
secured about s. in small change. The
burglars had come in through the waiting
room, forced open q transom in the Office
And puSQeu UBCA Lu6 OatCn Ou Inc ONCE
door. The cash drawer had been pried
open with chisel or Ratchet. The ticket
case had not been touched and nothing else
seems TO be missing.
Upon visiting the place where the three
men were Found last night, handkerchief
was picked up containing stick Of giant
powder, some caps. fuse, bits, drills, lamp
ing irons, mailet, pliers, etc. Lying around
were found some picks, crowbars, ham,
mers, etc, showing they evidently meant
business, ana it is thought the Coop. store,
which is in the same block, would have
peeu visited had they not been disturbed.
The fourth man, who escaped, seems To
have secured the Doodle, as o1ly dollar or
two was found on the three who are now
in Jail. Had time permitted they would
have undoubtedly gone through the safe al
the depot. Sheriff Loveland is out after
the other man, and il there is such q thing
as catching him, Carl" Is the man tina,
can do it
Not long ago Agent Dunn suffered q
heavy loss by some one breaking open q
car and helping themselves to clothing
underwear, dresses, etc. II Is now about
time the tramp nuisance was abated. II
they will come here, why not put them gu
the streets and help beautify our city
grading the streets or picking up the
rocks.
The depot seems to be q stopping place
or halfway house, and they should bt
made 70 "move on" II. N. 3.
