mysterious murder was discovered on
the mountain road between Hazleton
and Ebervals last night. Anthony
Dollar, n Hungarian while crossing
the old stage road found the body in
the bushes short distance from the
roadside. From the condition of the
body it was evident that it had been
there several days, as decomposition
had already set in.
The man had been shot in the breast
and his skull was fractured. His
pockets had been ritled and other cir
cumstances surrounding the affair
showed conclusively that the man had
been murdered and robbed. There
was nothing found about the body
that would lead to Identification.

Salt Lake City. September TO- 1894.
To the Public at Large, and the Horti-
culturist in Particular:
Realizing the fact that she horticultu-
raj interests in our territory are now oc-
cupying the attention of many of our
most influential citizens at home and
capital abroad and in the near future
must develop into one of the most pro-
fitable and general industries of the ter
ritory-thls must be so from the nature
of the case, as the location, climate and
soil are acknowledged to be unsurpassed.
dustry have until recently slumbered and
our feeble attempts to develop fruit
growing have been offset by the nuner-
Gus pests that beset this industry, and we
have been practically helpless to over
come them for the want of legislation
and a knowledge of how they may be
controlled, until the session of our last
legislature, which enacted laws looking
to the destruction of fruit pests, and hav-
ing for it's general end the awakening of
broad interest in the fruit production.
While we note with much pride vast
Improvement in both the Quality of fruit
produced this season and the general IN
terest awakened in the industry due to
this wise enactment of our last leg1Sla-
ture, and the untiring and persistent et-
deputies, and all this has only served TO
unfold to us the grand possibilities of
the future and spurs US on to still more
diligent and greater efforts
While we have no criticism to offer
upon the present law, we regard 1t as
only a step in the right direction and
should be followed up by more vigorous
and extensive legislation, as our expert
ence and growth will demand ere our
legislature should meet again. Such leg
islation can only be wisely and intelli-
gently brought about by the people who
make fruit growing their business, and
who will be constituents of those VINO
represent us.
Realizing the fact that in union there
is strength and to do good and efnclent
work requires a thorough organization,
and having this end in view, the salt
Lake county board of horticulture. at
their last meeting, appointed commIstee
to issue a call to all those interested III
horticulture throughout the territory TO
