And still another of Brigham's aged
people has been called to that shore
from whence none return. This morn
ing about o'clock William Smith, an
old gentleman who has lived for years
in the Third ward, died of natural
causes. He was past rs years of age,
and has been very feeble for many
years. He was a good, honest, quiet
old citizen, for whom all had a great
deal of respect. The funeral services
will be held in the ward hall Thursday.
Tomorrow the Republicans Of Box
Elder will hold their county conven-
ton in Brigham City for the purpose of
putting up their county ticket, nomin-
ating a representative to the legislature
and TO choose delegates to the Repuni-
can conventions at Ogden and Mount
Pleasant The central committee will
also be reorganized. A lively time is
anticipated. The Republicans here US
ually have lively old time of it when
they have so many offices to fill, as
about every other good man is banker
ing for one Office or another.
But a strange thing about this con-
vention is this: Here Brigham is nearly
200 miles from Mount Pleasant, yet the
eighteen delegates to be chosen to so
down there wiz not be selected until
the afternoon of September %, and the
Mount Pleasant convention, 200 miles
away, convenes next morning. So it
would be a physical impossibility, and
mental, as far as that is concerned, for
these delegates, if they wanted to reach
Mount Pleasant in time. OF course no
one will go. And why such trickery
work? Why don't our Republican
friends be honest and either stick by
the Ogden convention or the Mount
Pleasant convention? Either be man
or a mouse, so the people will know
where to place you.
1t seems a few. woman's rights wo-
men in town are up in arms because
the Democrats failed to recognize wo-
men by not placing woman repre-
sentative on their county ticket last
Saturday. Some of these plucky fe-
male political fighters declare that if
the Republicans will only place a wo-
man on their ticket, this woman nom
inee will receive a big vote from the
gentler sex. The Republicans will no
doubt do this, but it is still doubtful
whether or not a woman candidate will
strengthen their ticket, even with this
opposition favoring, as the general feel
ing throughout this section seems to be
against women holding office. This
feeling is more prevalent among the
women than among the men.

Castle Cate Chips.

CASTLE GATE, Sept. 20.-A severe
rain storm visited this town last night,
and caused great deal of damage.
The trains were delayed several hours.
Several bridges were washed away. All
the lower part of town was inundated.
Several houses had to be vacated by
the owners. Two are in ruins, and will
be a severe loss to the poor men who
owned them. The cellar Of the Wa
satch Store company was flooded. and
it is estimated that $500 will not cover
the amount OF damage done.
Quite a number of people on Willow
creek had to be taken in by friends,
their houses being full of mud, rocks
and water The railroad bridge on the
above creek came nearly going, the
section hands from up and down the
line were working all night getting the
bridge into its place, and it was not
until well onto noon of today that
trains could pass over The river is
again high. There has been another
heavy rain somewhere up the canyon.
The men who have suffered the most
from the flood are Peter GertZ, Allan
Cox, Dominic Melano, Joseph Haycocll
and William Demond. All the roads in
the town and suburbs are cut up in a
fearful shape.
The mine will be.idle tomorrow-too
much mud for the boilers
The track on the east side of the coke
ovens is covered from one to three feet
with mud and snail rock. Men have
been busy all day trying to clear it
Politically, there are three tickets in
the field in this county to gobble up
the county offices. and the Democrats,
for once, will have a chance if they
viii only stand together, and L am
pleased to note that the county Democ-
racy was never more united than it
is today. l viii have more to say in
relation to the third party in the near
future.

Brigham City BITS.

BRIGHAM CITY, Sept. 22.-The great
wind storm that did such destructive
work all over the state did not fail to
get in its work on Brigham and the
entire eastern part of Box Elder county.
From Willard on the south to Ply
mouth fat on the north come reports of
loss and destruction caused by that
terrific storm. At Willard, Three Mile
Greek, Bear River City and Honeyville
houses were blown down. hay stacks
were demolished or blown away and
trees uprooted and cast at full length
across the public highways. Nearly all
the fruit along the county road north
Of Brigham was stripped from the
trees, many of which were afterwards
blown over Sheds and fences were
turned topsy-turvy.
One of the greatest losses of all was
that of the lucern seed crop. Most of
the lucern bearing the seed was stand
ing in the fields ready for cutting. The
fierce wind completely stripped the
stalks. so that after it had abated a
hitherto valuable field of lucern was
worthless, the dry, bare stalks resem-
bling that of a wheat field after
"herder'' had passed over it.
The work of destruction in Brigham
was widespread Beautiful shade trees.
numbering into the hundreds, We're
blown over in all parts of town. Many
of these trees were almost as old as the
city itself.
Hundreds of fruit trees in Brigham
were uprooted or blown to pieces. Thou
sands of bushels of fruit were blown
off. much OF which will be worthless.
The total loss, damage to property in
city and county, caused by this high
wind, is enormous. Many estimate it at
tens of thousands of dollars worth. 1t
is a severe blow to our farmers and
fruit growers which they can i'll afford
But as a rule they seem to bear up
bravely under their thousands of indi-
yidual losses.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-09-23

A visit made yesterday to the ma
chine shops, or rather to the place
where the machine shops of Rhodes
Bros were before the wind storm,
showed all activity The wrecked frame
work of the building has been removed
and great progress is being made in
restoring things to their original shape.
About $50 men are at work about the
camp in various occupations. An eX-
perienced canvas man, A. S. Johns IN,
has been engaged from Salt Lake to
repair and restore tents. The dipping
of steel bands in the boiling maltha and
the hauling them up TO be placed in the
wooden pipe gives employment to
number of men. There is still a sup
ply of steel pipe made which will keep
the force busy putting 1T in place for
some time,
Incidents of the great storm are still
the talk of the camps. A rather rough
experience was had by two patients
who were in the hospital tent when it
blew down. Each was helpless with
broken leg. A team was hitched up
and in the very height of the awful gale
they were brought to the old city hos
pital by Mr.. Poulson. 1t was a fearful
journey, but neither of them suffered
any injury.
When the big structure was being
rocked by the wind A. C. Emerson,
George H. Durbrow and two other men
made an effort 70 save it. The big
movable crane was in the north end,
and it was thought that if it could
be moved to the south end, where there
was greater need, the building would
weather the storm. Part of the gear
ing was destroyed, and the crane could
only be moved slowly and by hand. Mr..
Emerson, with two other men, was
up on it moving it along when a fearful
gust came, and they saw the building
was about to collapse. There was no
time TO jump for ladders. They hast
ened out of an upper window, caught
by some guy wires put there to steady
the building and went down hand over
hand. Mr.. Durfrow who was on the
ground floor, got Tut just in time to
meet them, and just in time to see the
structure lifted from it's foundations
and crushed to fragments.
Mr.. Rhodes, who was. in New York
when the accident happened, is expect
ed home today.

I may be in error, but in my
humble judgment he who would
rob q man OF his necessary
food or pollute the spring at
which he quenches his thirst,
or steal away from him his
accustomed rest, or condemn
his mind to the gloomy night
of ignorance, is no more an
enemy of his race than the
man who. deaf to The entrea-
ties of the poor and blind to
the suffering he would cause,
seeks to destroy one of the
morey metals given by the
Almighty to supply the needs
of commerce.-William Jen-

Lost in the shume.

Marshal Maer returned from Grand
the Blacks He left Mercur on the
18TH and stayed in Grand Junction I'M
til the 20t1l. The intention was to send
him the necessary papers, but some
delay was experienced in getting the
signatures of the governor and state
secretary. Secretary Hammond says
he maiied the papers to Mr. Maer ait
Grand Junction the intention being
for the marshal to go ON to Denver,
get tine governors signature and re-
turning, bring his prisoners from Grand
junction. He waited in vain for the
necessary papers which were evidently
lost between the two points. The Of
ficers were reluctantly compelled TO
turn their prisoners loose. What be-
came of those papers will probably re-
MAIN a mystery. Black was threaten
ing to sue t3e officers for false i'm
prisonment but it was probably only a
bluff and he will likely lose little time
in getting away from that neighbor-
hood.
