ONE MAN AGAINST TWENTY.
Brigham City Citizen Stands Off a
Railroad Gang.

Brigham City. Jan. 16.-There has
been a little excitement about the de-
pot today on account of the attempted
removal of a building which w. H.
Craghead has put on disputed ground
between the tracks, just south of the
depot. There has been a contention
over this matter between Craghead and
the railroad for some years. Mr.. Crag-
head claims title to the ground and
proposes to hold possession by keeping
some kind of a building on it.
Last Monday night the railroad COM
pany hitched an engine on to the build
ing. about 16x20. that was standing on
the ground, and tore it all to pieces
Yesterday Mr. Craghead finished an
other frame structure about the same
size. This morning about 20 section
men, under the direction of the road
master, were on hand. ready to demol-
ish the new shed. Mr.. Craghead was
also on hand and made grave objec-
tons to that manner of procedure.
Some hot words were INDUCED in. but
nothing worse, and finally the building
was left standing. but there is no tell
ing what night may bring forth Mr.
Craghead is stubbornly maintaining
his rights, and keeps things pretty
lively for the railroad

Three well known residents of Lewis
ton, whose name | refrain from men
tioning. came down to Logan and drew
quite a sum of money from one of the
banks. They started for home rather
late in the afternoon, ard the awful
knowledge that they had money on
their persons seems 90 have made them
nervous. and after dark they were con-
stantly on the lookout for highway
men. AT last one turned up: they had
reached a point just this side of Rich
mond where willows line either side OF
the road, when man happened out
from the brush like a rabbit from a
woodpile and leveling a young gatling
gun at them, yelled hold up" They
didn't stop to hear the rest but dashed
the horses into a gallop and succeeded
in getting away They hastily hunted
up Marshal Lewis of Richmond, when
they got there, who armed himself and
started after the highwayman. He
found him Derched on a rock by the
roadside waiting for another team to
come along.
Il haven't held anyone up he ex-
planned to the marshal as he threw
down his umbrella at the behest of
that individual, who thought it was
a shotgun. And then explanations en-
sued as soon as the supposed robber
recovered. from the fright occaSioned
by the sight of the marshal with a
brace of .revolvers levelled at his head.
He turned out to be a we'll known resi-
dent of Richmond, who being afoot
and tired, determined TO wait for a
team and ride the rest of the way
home. When the Lewiston braves
came along he stepped out and waving
his umbrella at them. yelled for them
to hold up and give him a ride, which
so thoroughly scared the Lewistonites
that they haven't recovered yet.

FORT DUCHEsNE FUEL.
Contractor McKeachnie Unable to
Supply the Post.

Vernal, Jan John McKeachnie,
the west side merchant is in hard luck.
Mr. McKeachnie has for several years
been taking contracts for supplies at
Duchesne. His bids have become lower
and lower each year. until this season
he contracted to deliver wood at the
post for less than SO per cord. The
distance to the nearest wood is 20 miles.
He found it impossible to get men and
teams at that figure and consequently
the wood was getting scarce at the
fort.
Last week the quartermaster took the
matter in his own hands and COM
menced the purchase of wood at the
rate of 50 per cord, The extra charge
will come out of Mr.. McKeachnie's
pocket which makes him a very heavy
loser by the deal.

Exciting Runaway.

Carl Rolapp. a son of Judge Rolapp,
had thrilling experience yesterday
afternoon. The lad was in a cutter,
when a shaft broke, and the horse
became frightened. The animal came
down Twenty-fOurth street on a dead
run, the cutter barely touching the
snow, and the boy doing his best at
the lines. He managed to steer him
clear of distractions, and partially re-
gained control of the animal in front
of the postofiice; but the dangling
shaft again startled him, and off went
the rig up Grant to Twenty-first: I'D
Twenty-tirst to Washington. The
boy finally regained control of the ami
NAL out near Ogden river bridge. and
a dangerous experience was past.

Irishman had the best of it. One day
recently a Jealous church member was
discussing the celebration of Christmas
by different nations and religions.
There was an Irishman present, who,
for some reason or other, was dis

marks of mirthful and sarcastic ma

and finally the church member began
about the various picturesque features
which had once been introduced in the
Christmas celebrations of the Catholics.
