LOGAN LINES.

LOGAN, Jan. 5.-The people of this
city and county received their enamel
patton from territorial vassalage with
demonstrations of great joy. When at
about 10 o'clock yesterday morning the
news flashed over the wire that Gro
yer had proclaimed Utah full and
independent state, whistles were blown,
bells were rung, flags were hung out,
public buildings were decorated, people
shouted, blew horns and beat drums
The proclamations itself, which was re-
ceived some hours later and was sent
out in bulletin form by a local paper,
was eagerly read and then carefully
folded and slowed away as a souvenir
of the great and glorious occasion. The
people of Logan send greeting to their
fellow citizens of the rest of the suate
of Utah, and wish them we'll
Ever since New ears eve the city
officers have been laying for two or
three young hoodlUmS who made that
night hideous with their carvings on.
One of their pranks was to carry away
from an implement house in this city
all the hobs, wagons, hand sleds, etc,
they could get at and carry them and
pile them up, of all places in the city,
on the front porch of the residence of
the Hon. Moses Thatcher. 1t was I'M
doubtedly a premeditated assault upon
that gentleman, and is nothing short
Of a crime when the precarious state
of Mr.. Thatcher's health is considered.
The culpritS are said to be hiding until
statehood shall have come when they
think to avoid prosecution. The city
|, officers, however, will see that the laws
governing the general welfare of the
citizens are enforced, and it will doubt
less go hard with the young villains.
Yesterday morning the funeral Servic-
es over the remains of Josiah Hen
bricks were held in the Second ward
meeting house in this city. The spirit
of the old veteran passed away with
the old year. on the evening Of Decem-
Der 81 Heart failure was the imme-
date cause of his death, superinduced
by the effects of an old wound in his
side. Mr. Hendricks was z years old,
one of the pioneers Of Logan and
soldier in the Mexican war, for his
services in which engagement he re-
ceived a pension from the government.
He was hale and hearty to the day of
his death having taken his breakfast
and dinner on that day with his usual
hearty relish. He was we'll known and
universally respected. His remains
were inferred in Logan cemetery.
