IN the old days
when the A p. A
fiourished in Zion John joined it and the
society grew and waxed mighty. Prior
TO that time John hadn't done anything
but roam around in a sort of fiery, I'M
tanned way, but in that organization his
soul found peace. He didn't stay with
the society until it's demise however
About the time he got interested in the
work the 1rish-American society started
and John left the a. 2. A. and some of
the members were cruel enough to init
mate that he was going to unite with the
newest organization. But he didn't. Then
came the Carter army. John Joined il
ana 1t increased and grew great. Then
the army marched away and John joined

Next John joined the Psychological
Spiritual aggregation and that did well,
although it must be admitted that the
municipal authorities have Disseminated
against him. Then ne joined the unem-
ploFed and is stu member in good
standing. Now that he has expressed
determination to unite with the NUM-
cipal league the future of that associa-
Tor OF male and female citizens is as
sured 1t will be a rosy success. Victory

Lieutenant Steele. of battery A came
down from his home in the SHOWS of
Big Cottonwood yesterday. accompanied
by his mining partner Andy Fern. They
have been driving a tunnel on a ledge
away UP in the peaks at the head of Cot
tonWood, where the snow is 30 feet deep.
The lieutenant wore a wealth of wiiskers
which made HIM look like a patriarch.
He declares no one should attempt to
cross the divide over into Parley's for the
next two weeks, as there is too much to
encounter
Steele tells story of dog which is
interesting. Up in the hills there is a
tur32el which has for an occupant
collie dog, who has lived there for two
years. lie is as wild any dog could
be. He will permit no one to come near
his abiding place and stands guard all
the tlfnG 3I tne Wnen any one Is
in the vicinity. When the neighborhood
is free from people he roams around and
hunts for something to eat. a visitor
surprised the place one day when the dog
was away and found he had a store of
provisions there which would last him a
month. He had evidently robbed several
camps of the fresh meat and bacon on
hand as the stuff was all piled up in the
rear of the cavern save a few scraps from
which he had been eating.
g &. @
Tradition has it that this dog was the
property of a man who owned the tunnel
He went away and told the dog to stay
until he came back. He never came back,
but the dog is faithful to his post of
guard over the place waiting for his
master. who has doubtless thought him
with some sheep herder long ere this.
While the miner is 'coDDerinE the ace
or playing the jack open in some gilded
hall of vice the poor dog is. 'copoering
the provisions of all the unwary who may
happen to camp in the vicinity. But the
dog has to live some way, and should not
be blamed. If this should chance to meet
the eye of the owner. he will please take
out license and go bring the canine
down and let him see how it is to live
in city once again.
