PLEASANT VALLEY JUNCTION,
Aug. 29.-Business has been lively to-
day in this usually quiet little burg.
Preston Nutter. the cattle king, drove
in from Strawberry valley twenty-five
cars Of cattle. and a Mr.. Redmond
joined in with five double decked cars
of sheep, making two trains that will
be run through to Kansas City on a
time schedule that leaves passenger
trains not 'in it,
Word has been given out by the
three different lines handling this
special shipment to get even passenger
a run that will break the record for
fast time. The Rio Grande Western
will turn the two trains over to the
Colorado Midland. and the latter will
turn them over to the Santa Fe at
Colorado Springs, which road will do
the balance on speeding them to
Kansas City. But one stop will be
made for feeding, that being at Pueblo.
a. D. Hudnall will go through to
Kansas City with the shipment, it be-
ing consigned to the Siegel-Saunders
Live Stock Commission company there.
Others who viii accompany it are
Walter Shipp, c. Lasher, John Knight
and Tom Osborne, all of Provo. A
Herald representative viii also go all
the way in order to hold time card"
and note progress on what promises
to be a star run and record breaker
Trainmaster King, of the Rio Grande
Western, has. been here all day per-
sonally experimenting the loading and
the send off.
There was also shipment of ten
cars Of sheep today from GunnisoE,
Utah, consigned to Nolan & Booth,
Kansas City, routed same as the Pres
ton Nutter shipment.
Sid Southworth. of the firm of South
worth Bros, Castillo Springs, has been
here today shipping lumber from Horse
Creek and Soldiers Summit to the
great mining district They are operat-
ing mills at both of these points.
John P Meakin and family will give
an entertainment here tonight, then go
to Schofeld in the morning, whence
they will embark for Salt Lake
Monday morning. Professor Meakin
has done a fairly lucrative business as
well as giving to himself and family
six weeks.
Don c. Robbins, of Salt Lake. was
here on business today and goes TO
Castle Gate in the morning
The Rio Grande Western has gone
after" all those tickets not in the
hands of original purchasers when pre-
scented for passage On last nights
No. 4, coming out of Salt Lake the
argus-eyed and watchful conductor
made two strike. A Mr.. Jordan had
ticket for Denver that cost him $14
and he alighted at Bingham Junction
minus the ticket, though taking back
to the jolly broker the conductors re-
ceipt for the round trip portion of a
ticket sold to another party in Denver
The second case was funny, to say
the least. When the conductor was
handed the ticket of a we'll dressed
and smooth appearing business man of
Salt Lake it did not bear his sigma
ture. But it did bear the signature of
some other man. The conductor posi-
lively announced the great discrepancy,
bur the holder boldly announced in re-
turn that he was that selfsame party.
The knight of the punch said. ''Why.
you are Mr. Mehesy, the well known
furrier, of Salt Lake"
Then spoke up the would-be passen-
ger. Indignantly saying: mo sir, so
help me God, this is the uhird time to-
day I've been taken for that man Me-
hesy." But all the same it was Mr.
Mehesy, and he alighted at Provo,
where he doubtless took No. back
to the city to kill a jolly broker and
get a fresh start east for himself
The weather here was all day
yesterday of the arctic type. At a. m.
thick clouds gathered, and floating low,
bumped up against the surrounding
mountain cvests, opening them for a
forenoon's deluge of a cold rain border
ing on snow. Last night was intensely
cold here and overcoats were a neces-
sity in very earnest.
There was a washout yesterday at
Sunnyside, fifty miles east of here,
which held No. and No 8, besides a
number of freights. There was also
forty cars Of stock east-bound that
were tied up here and at Helper. un-
til a bridge could be replaced that
went out with the waters.
Charles Burke, the stockman, is here.
but unable to cut out any stock from
here at this time.
E. ]. Kearnes, the sheepman, put in
last night here, after sending forward
ten cars of sheep yesterday to A. J,
KnoIlin & Co., Kansas City.
NJ C. Ralph, of Mt Pleasant, will
have five cars of sheep from here on
the LIST, going via Denver & Rio Grande
anG Santa Fe 70 Kansas City.
During the fore part of next week
there will be some fifty cars of sheer
shipped from here to Kansas City via
Colorado Midland and Santa Fe
The eating house conducted here by
Mrs. Diamond, OF Springville, fills g
long felt want, and also its patrons
who partake of well cooked viands in
plentiful array.
