boys who while out herdlng cows in the
vicinity of Panguitch had dug into an

five feet they are said to have dis
covered the grain.
Mrs. Beaurcgard took great care of
the thirteen grains. She did not throw

ated quite demand for it, and 1t
was scattered over the country In
small quantities and some was sent to
friends out of the State, MIR. Gabriel
lluntsman informs MS that he paid 81
for one bushci. which he planted and
reaped therefrom sixty bushels of
grain. He says that 1t has excellent
fattening properties, and he also had
some of the grain ground and that 1t
made fair sample of flour. from
which his wife made very good bread.

the proverbial tuft of hair in the palm

neglected and finally became an out
cast in our county. | am not aware

TO SELL THE HALL OF RELICS.


The prospects are that the next few
weeks win witness the razing TO the
ground of the Hail of Relics, Negotia-
lions are now well under way for its
sale. So said Judge Colborn, acting
chairman of the Semi Centennial COM
mission, today, in the absence of Hon.
Spencer Clawson, who is in the east
on business connected with his whole
sale drygoods establishment.
For the last two or three days Dali
Inns handsome statue. the Signal of
Peace, has been missing from its ac-
customed place on the portico in front
of the hail. and numerous inquiries
have been made concerning 1t. II
was learned this afternoon that the
statue had simply been taken inside the
building, where 1t would be secure
against the action of the elements or
the assaults of relic hunting vandals.
The commission IN DESTROYS of having
the State purchase the beautiful ere
alton of Utah genius. and place 1t
temporarily in the main corridor of the
first Aoor of the joint building. From
there the commission says 1t could be
removed to he State Capitol, when
such structure is erected and remain
as lasting testimonial to its talented
maker and as beautiful reminder of
the most notable demonstration in the
history of the commonwealth. The
suggestion appears to be meeting with
considerable favor. and 1t is not un-
likely that 1t Will eventually succeed.
