A LIVELY CANYON TRIP.
The Society Men Who Went Up the
Provo Had a Time.

The swell young society men who
took trip through Provo canyon the
other day had a rather exciting time of
1t. They were out with a fOur-horse
team, coming down the canyon, when
the horses took fright at the shying of
a beer bottle, and rushing down the
road like sky rocket broke loose. The
whole crowd were thrown out, and it is
a wonder that from the contemplation
of one kind of beer they were not
brought to the contemplation of an
other entirely different kind of bier.
One young man is around now with his
jaw in a sling, another has his feet
carefully encased in flannel q third had
his abdominal injuries concealed be-
meath a very broad sash, and the Provo
drugstOres were bankrupted as to their
stocks of eoUrtplaster, On reaching
Provo the pilgrims found nice bill to
pay for damage done by the runaway
team, and besides there was a veteTin-
airy surgeons bill to pay. But it was a
mOneyed crowd, and after settling up,
they TUNED their attention to the local
eating houses. And would you believe
it, gentle reader, the eating house keep
ers Swore that the next time they fed
anybody from Salt Lake, they would
make a contract before hand, lay in an
extraordinary stock Of provisions, and
double on the prices. When the BOYS
got home they were taken for lot of
refugees from the Apache country.
Had the Tribune, from which the
above account is taken, only mentioned
that Dave Dunbar, Dan Caulder and
Young Game, the trio mentioned
above, have come to the conclusion
that Provo is the boss place TO come to
for "a day off :, the article would have
been complete.

If the government economically ad-
ministeled. The gentleman thought
tie taxes this year were altogether too
heavy.
Mr.. Greer stated that he thought the
County Court had been very economl-
cal, and the extra tax this year was a
direct benefit 10 the people i'll having
good roads and good bridges.
w. H. King considered no reflection
should be cast on anyone. The taxes
had been economically apportioned.
He offered the following resolution In
stead of that offered by Mr.. Roberts:

we are in favor OF that fundamental
principle of Democracy: that only sui

VIENNA, July 2O.-The Russian

of a scene which is laid in the lit
tie city of Artynj, Caucasia. Prince
David Kirtischaff5, who resides there,
recently fell sick and, according to the
testimony and certificates OF his physi-
clans, died. Preparations were made
for most gorgeous funeral. The
Prince. dressed in the brilliant uni
form of the Caucasian troops, was laid
in state in an open coffin. During the
progress of the ceremonies, while the
priest was bestowing upon him ''the
kiss of farewell" the Prince suddenly
sat up in his coffin and cried out,
''HOw dare you bury me without my
orders?" The church was at once the
scene of a wild panic, the large crowd
rushing out in mad disorder, the men
trampling women and children under
their feet. His serene majesty sat up
i'm his coffin and laughed heartily over
his Joke. Just why the Prince INDUCED
in this eccentriCity is not related, but
in leaving the coffin he gave orders fol
a grand feast at his palace, and SO
gorged himself in his delight at having
trieked his friends, that he died in
earnest three days later.

The LEGAL TRAMP
He Succeeds in Obtaining a
Change Of Venue.
Interesting Scene in Judge W. 81.
Browns Court Yesterday Morning On
the Appearance of the Tramp Burglars.
From Sundays Daily,

The tramps arrested for stealing a
ride on the r. O.. w. came before JUS
tice Brown yesterday morning for trial.
D. d. HoutZ appeared for the prose-
cution, and the best dressed member OF
the tramps appeared for the defense
The first thing to paralyze the Court
was this gentlemanly tramp asking for
change of venue on the ground that
there was prejudice existing in the
minds of the people against them.
Mr.. Houtz claimed that it was too
late to ask for change after 50
much expense had been incurred in
summoning jury and witnesses for the
prosecution.
The tramp lawyer then said that they
did not propose to be aZzledaZZled,
aud demanded that they be tried in
some other precinct, just which pre-
cinct they did not know, but they must
have change from Provo.
This noble follower of Blackstone
quoted part of an article which ap-
peared in our evening contemporary
against them, which he claimed was
proof that prejudice existed and they
could not have fair trial.
Mr.. Houtz suggested that written
affidavit would be the best method Of
stating their grievance, whereupon the
fellow wrote out q paper stating the
grounds of his motion. This, the Court
held to be insufficient for change OF
venue.
The bright legal light of the tramp
fraternity then made out another affi-
davit, saying that inasmuch as the pa
pers had published articles which were
| detrimental to the characters of the ac-
cused men, that they did not believe
they could have fair trial.
Mr.. Houtz arose and said that to him
it appeared a very fimsy plea for a
change of venue, and he could not see
where report from newspaper
could prejudice a whole community.
He contended against granting a change
of venue on the strength OF a news
paper report, the paper publishing
which could not be relied upon.
The tramp lawyer waxed eloquent at
this, and said that the newspapers had
represented them as desperadoes and
| Jesse JameS-kind of men, while they
were only charged with misdemeanOr.
He finally addressed MIR. HOutz. but
that gentleman cody informed him
that he was arguing the case with the
| court, and the sarcasm and contempt
eyinced by Mr.. Houtz nearly froZe the
tramp speechless.
The court then ruled that although
the affidavit was not just exactly in ac-
cordance with the law, still the men
were entitled to the change, as they
did not believe they could have fail
trial in this precinct. He thereupor
transferred the case to Springyille.

committed suicide yesterday in London.

England to heirs. 1t is said $4,000
dupes were induced to contribute
money for alleged expenses in prose

afterwards fled the country to escape
arrest for diamond stealing and never

parneli Getting Moro ReeIsIess.

LONDON, July 2O.-Two friends, who
have seen Dillon and o. Brien in person
this week, tell your correspondent that
they will both 90 definitely against
Parnell when released. What is dis
gushing Parnells friends more than
ANYTHING else is the conviction now
forced upon them that he is inspired
wholly in his present politics 10y Mrs.
. arnell. He pays no heed 10 any
counsel offered him, but every time lie
goes to Brighton he returns more madly
Tesolute than ever. His last escapade
about the costs in the O'Shea divorce
suit further confirms the opinion that
is perfectly reckless in his methods
and that he elects to crafty his wife's
capricious vanity. The le1st Parnell
owed to his friends who stuck to him
was to bury that divorce as quickly as
possible, but now, because Mrs. Parnell
does not want to give her former nus
band the sa' istaction of claiming his
costs, Parnell cooliy runs the risk of
getting made bankrupt IN addition to
his other disgraces. This may be CON
jugal love, but it certainly is not poll
Tics ii ParnelI is made bankrupt he
must either settle with his creditors
within six months or resign his seat.

was evident, 50 when the time dreTg
near for the closing there was a general
feeling of regret that the week had
sped away so swiftly.
On the evening of Thursday the de-
bate on the question, Should all stud
