Il was fully expected up 10 last night
hy the majority Of Provo people that
the shooting would take place there.
a well laid plan to deceive them vas
Completed and carried out by Deputy
United States Marshal Fowler, who
caused a dummy to be- erected in the
jail yard, giving all the marks aud
an earauoe Of genuine covering for
the men selected TO execute the sen.
tenceupo the doomed man. But before
the hour OF midnight some Of the
more observant came to the conclu.
sion that they were TO DO deceived anu
they accordingly kept close watch on
the officers stationed there.
II was only with the utmost vigi.
lance that at . O'Clock this morning
Dspity Marshal Fowler got the e1ecu.
TONERS out OF town unseen by the
curious thTong that kept their argus
eyes upon him. The men were driven
out OF the city bya circuiious route In
u closed carriage aud pitched their
tent In the foothills about a mile
east Of the railroads. As soon as II
became daylight, they strapped nh old
fashioned congress chair 10 a crude
plank frame just thirty feet from
where the executioners lay under
cover, and over this they shot several
rounds OF ammunition precisely In the
same manner that they expected to
shoot Davis. These men were spec
ially selected anu all are said to be
residents OF Utah county.
There was great scramble and
hurry ofexoitoment among them about
,uuTlse. The causo'ot the commoiion
was the sudden appearance on the
brow OF the hill above them Of u
venluietome newspaper man, who
was not aware that no was 30 close
upon them. He had not the slightest
Intentions OF surprising them, nor did
hewlsh TO learn their identity, The
agility with which they got beneath
'he canvas covering was remarkable.
When they appeared outside again they
were completely enveloped In black
alpaca shrouds In which they pre-
tented a most sombrs appearance. An
extraordinary feature In connection

was compelled to turn considerable

His DREAM SAVED THEM.-EOgineer
James Ebert aud fireman Phil Hay
were saved from terrible death early
Sunday morning by thrice repeated
dream of Cecil T. Peasants, section fore
man at Alumine, Va. He dreamed
that he saw an engine and tender fall
through trestle, No. 1850, one mile from
that place. After having dreamed it
twice he woke up Mrs. Peasants and
told Of his awful Illusion and then iell
asleep and dreamed it again, when he
came so impressed That some thing
was going wrong that he woke uD his
wife again and told her that he had
dreamed the same thing a third time
and that ne was going up to see about
it.
She and her sister, Miss Peoples,
laughed at him and asked il he had
gone crazy. He woke up 4. Il. Brewer
and J. G.. Fogsleman, members Of the
Section Foreman brotherhood, who
were stopping at his house and insisted
that they 90 with him. They told him
that it was nonsense and did not get up.
He then went to the room OF Mr.
Dowell, his section hand, and asked
him to accompany him. When they
reached the trestle they found it on
fire, having caught from a north bound
reight. They eXtinguished the flames
aud put tori edoes on the track just n
time to save No. 105 manned by Eheit
and Hay, who both went through a
trestle near Winston, \. G., on the
snme engine.

MULES DELIRIoUs wITF PLEASURE.
81 saw an odd sight in Luzernc county
few days ago." said Eckley b. Coke.
six mules that had for four years
hauled ears in the lower workings of a
coal shat to and lon the foot of the
shaft had 20 be brought UP owing to
the flooding fthe mine on account of
fire. The mules in all that time had
seen no light stronger than Tie flicker
of the little Davy lamps the miners car
ried. The sun was in its zenith when
they reached the surface, and the at
mosphere was as clear rs crystal.
"rhe astonshed creatures closed
their eyes to shut ont the food Of strong
light, and kept them tightly closed
while they were being driven 10 a pas
ture lot mile distant aud turned loose.
There they stood trembling as if they
were afraid something evil was about
to bciall them. Presently they hall
opened their eyes and peered around
in open-mouthed amazement. 1t was
clear they couldn't understand it.
when they had become accustomed
to the sunlight they elevated their
heads and slowly swept their gaze over
culm piles, sky mountains and horizon
again and again. Toward sundown
they broke into chorus of joyous
brays, the like of which was never
heard from mules before.
After quarter Of an hour of that
music they took to kicking, jumping,
whirling around like teetotums and roll
lug on the sod as if they had gone mad.
For four days they spent their time
gazing at The new sights Of fields and
sky, refusing food and water, not even
nbbing at the grass. and not as much
as blinking an eye in sleep.-Phaadel-
Dhid Times.
