The New and the Old.

q. Il. Belnap yesterday took charge
of the sheriff's office and three of his
deputies, T. II. Ballantyne, r. T. Harris
and Rob Chambers, were confirmed.
Belnap has held the place before and
is known to the newspaper men as
are all of his deputies. People having
business as this Office will be assured
of courteous treatment such as has
been in vogue under the outgoing re-
gime.
Newt Farr, the newly elected county
clerk, will indeed find it hard to sur
pass J. z. Ledwidge in courtesy to all
corners, but he, together with his depu-
ties, T. d. Higginbothan, Sam Myers,
Thomas b. Farr and VIII Hamer, bid
fair to equal the outgoing members
of that important Office in courtesy
and fair dealing. Charley Hollings-
worth will remain with Farr for the
present at least and the young ladies
of the clerks office will likewise re-
main.
A. j. Weber, as county attorney, has
been quietly superseded by another
S. Peery.
The new recorder they say, is no
Improvement on the former one be-
cause Tyler cannot be improved on
even by himself.
All in all the way of the news
gatherer, the attorney and all others
having business with the county of
ficials will, from present appearances,
be cast in pleasant places so far as
court and county matter are concerned

Park City. Jan. 4.-Reuben, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Moses Jones. was seri-
ously injured yesterday by an ex-
plosion of a quicksilver flask, with
which some of his companions were
having fun by partly filling with water,
corking with broom handle and then
placing in a bonfire in Ontario canyon.
Steam being generated, the stopper
would be blown out with tremendous
force. Young Jones came along just
as an explosion occurred, and was
struck by the stopper or a rock above
the thigh and rendered unconscious.
He was carried home and medical aid
summoned. His injuries are not re-
ga-ded az dangerous.

Officials, Ex-Oficials and Newspaper
Men Dine With Him at the Reed.
Ogden, January 5.

The passing out of the old county
officials and the coming in of the new
was yesterday characterized by a ..ery
pleasant event when a dinner was
rendered to them by ex-Commissioner
William G. Wilson. The event was
arranged for at the Reed.
At the table were William G.. Wilson,
John Seaman, John C. Child, j. c.

mon, Joseph P. Ledwidge, Newton.

Wright, Gilbert K. Belnap, Heber
Wright, J. D. Sullivan, John Tyler
The newspapers were represented by
E A. Littlefield of the State Journal,
of the Standard and w. Ia. Watts of
The Herald.
The menu was tasteful and served
in the best style of the Reed. 1t was
nearly o'clock before the courses
were finished. There were no formal
speeches. A remark by eX-Treasurer
Hurlburt about his holding certain
things in reserve brought out a retort
that Hurlburt always held back a big
reserve. The pat allusion to the eX-
collectors judicious holding of the
funds in dispute brought out others
equally witty. The newspaper men
were specially admOnished to partake
of the 'roasts" and the "puffs'' on the
bill of fare, because the assem- bled Off
Gals had partaken of one or the other
from most of the scribes. The hour
was too late when the courses were
finished to permit formal talks, the
new commissioners being due at their
first meeting at y. N.
