Closing Liverpool cables brought the 6uIls
no relief, that market winding up at the

But the local crowd which had apparent

DAVIS COUNTY INDICATED.
KaysVille Furnishes Four and Bounti-
full One-Farmingt None.


Pennington, April 29.-Four patriots,
young men from Kaysvilie, removed
the stigma placed upon Davis county
by the discouraging experience of Re
cruiting Officer r. c. Naylor, at Boun-
tiful yesterday, where a whole day
was spent without one man being en-
listed. by driving up TO the recruiting
station and offering their services in
the defense aof their country. They
were John II. Meredith. William Mad
dick, William NJ. Clawson and John r.
Woolsey. Each of them chose to serve
III the artillery.
: short time afterward John F. Zoller
entered the station, and enlisted for the
artillery, or mounted rifles. When FOL
Ter announced his residence as Bounti-
full, there was hearty applause from the
crowd that had gathered, who looked
on his enlistment as a Vindication of
the honor of our sister town. Mr.. Zoller
is corporal of company Z, \. G. u.
Two of the four Kaysville recruits are
married men.
An impressive incident was the ap-
pearance at the recruiting station of
w. II. Strong of KaysVille. The old
gentleman served in the Third Michi-
gan volunteers during the civil war,
and he was present today TO encourage
the recruits. When asked if he was
ready TO enlist, he replied: Il would to
God I could; if they viii take me now,
I'll not turn my face toward home"
And his manner and tone showed that
he meant it.
w ord comes from Bountiful that the
members of company E are getting
warmed up to the situation. The Senri-
ment is changing, and in all probability
there viii yet be several recruits from
that place.
SO far not one resident of Farming
ton has volunteered, and up to $3.50 this
afternoon it looked as if Davis county
would not be represented among the
volunteers. It was about that time
when the KaysviIle boys arrived.

and came here tonight to give an op-
portunity for others to volunteer, be-

Frederick Maddox OF Kaysville,
father of Recruit Maddox, has written
to Governor Wells, Offering his services

He is a British subject, but says in his
