expectant crowd of Utah people. Powers
was on hand trihe late and looked as
though he had peen through prize mill,
mis- attendant braves wore an air as if they
had been out after scaIps, and come home
without their own. kiesel was as bslliger-
ant as if he had not been to bed since the
previous night and passed half an hour
