MOVES OF THE WOOL GROWERS
1he Joke Perpetrated by the SLAYER of Palmer
strengthening Going on
With Vigor.

Sauna is already putting on metropolitan
airs. The Coop, under the able manage
ment OF Mr.. Gottfredson, is extending it's
quarters and have converted the large hail
up stars into clothing and furnishing de-
partment. There are new enterprises in
all directions.
Mhlttock IL Candland have opened up a
neat and convenient drug store; a new
harness shop is in full blast; Mr.. Hopkins
is busy scraping chins and dressing
scalps; MIR. Kuighton has fine supply of
goods; Mrs. Oliver deals out groceries to
Inc travelling public and the citizens. This
Is wnere the traveller can get a good, square
meal on short notice. Willard Robinson,
formerly of the Coop, is in partnership in
the furniture business with MIR. Hayes, the
Salina pedagogue. There are several sa-
looms doing fair business. DR.. West has
an office close by the Sslina hotel, where
MS slate is often filled with orders, and he
is seen riding in his cart in all the sur
rounding neighborhood. A gentleman re-
marked that ''Mr. West was good doctor,
as well as gentleman and Christian"
l asked Mr.. Gottfredson il the wool
growers south of Salina would delay the
disposition of the wool in order to take ad-
vantage OF the train. He remarked that
most OF the wool would be hauled to Manti
before that date, as there was no organiza-
ton now at Salina that would be able to
mold 1t, though it would save deal Of
labor.
President Seegmiller was seen at Salina.
and asked in relation to his celebrated
stallion, st. John. He said the animal was
In the hands of trainer, but would be
found in Richfield and neighberhood.
VIII say that the animal is full-blood
Clyde, and a dandy besides.
Richtield has a deal of endurance and
VIII wait patiently for the Rio Grande
western to pay her visit. In the mean
time there is deal Of improvements going
on, new stores, new shops, residences, etc.
The crops are principally in on the higher
grounds, and fine patches of fall and
spring wheat may be seen here and there,
but the spring has been nearly a month
later this year than last, and the poplars
are just bursting.
That was sly Joke that the murderer of
Palmer got off on the Richfeld city officers.
When they were about to move him to
Provo for trial, he demanded new suit of
clothes. The officers told him he would
have to go in his old toys. On the first OPP
portunity he tore up every article of
clothes he had on into fragments, and said
he'd be hanged If he wouldn't go naked if
they didn't give him new suit.
Mr.. Rolla Jones, who was put under
bonds by the city officers as accessory to
the murder of the unfortunate Palmer,
was discharged, as there was nothing in the
world for which they could hold him, and it
is generally believed that Mr.. Jones had
not the slightest participation in the mat
ter. He feels that he was imposed on by
being arrested so summarily, but the off,
GERS were under obligations to clear up the
mystery as much as possible.
Mumps and la grippe are still in fashion
on the Sewer, though there is little room
for continuation, as almost every body has
had 'em.
Sheep shearing is going on with vigor,
and it is almost impossible to hire help on
the farms, this business and the railroads
having absorbed every able-bodied man not
employed at home.
Miss Johnson is now in the Richfield
postoffice, taking the place vacated by MIR.
