and an extension OF the Boring strait

noted Ellen Beach Yaw last evening.
and 1t IS safe to say that the event was
one which Will be remembered as long
as most of the big musical affairs
which have preceded it. The wisdom
OF keeping down to popular prices was
shown in the size of the turnout There

handsomest figuring recorded for a

OF this Mr.. Stephens states that the
choir receives one-half net, the visit

defraying the advertising expenses.

came with its expectations worked up
to very high pitch. it realized every
thing il had expected and possibly

Attorney j. NJ. Hamilton met with
a serious accident yesterday. In cross
ing First South street from McCor-
nick 5 bank to the Utah National bank
he was dashed into by a runaway
morse, attached to cutter, the shaft of
the cutter striking him on the left
breast, throwing him a distance of Is
feet. He was picked up in an insensi-
pie condition and taken to Godbe-Pitts'
drug store, where he received medical
attention, but it was 10 minutes before
ne recovered consciousness.
His head and face were badly
bruised and his right shoulder hurt. 1t
was lucky for him that he carried a.
pocketbook and a bunch of letters in
the left breast pocket of his coat. for
on that spot the shaft of the cutter
struck, and if it had not been for the
padding thus afforded the conse-
quences would have been much more
serious. The owner of the turnout is
not known. but Mr.. Hamilton is look
