Judge Harrison Sweeney, associate
member of the County Court, died at
his home In Belleview Tuesday even
ing at four o'clock. Judge Sweeney
had not been well for several days, but
his case was not thought serious until
few hours before his death. The
deceased was a good man and citizen,
and many friends will long cherish his
memory. A strange fatality seems to
have pursued the members of the Iron
County Court the past eight years.
Since 1891 seven members of that body
have died while in office. The first
was Judge j. G.. Clarkson. and since
then Judges Kemper, Hart, Low. Hol-
loman, and Carly and now Judge
Sweeney have been called to the Great
Beyond while serving as members of
the Iron County Court. And of this
number Judge Holloman was the only
one who had passed the allotted age of
three score years and ten. Singular
indeed!
The coming Fourth of July will be
the biggest the Valley has known since
that of 1S76-the Centennial year.

vast crowd on that day are now being
rapidly completed, and the full details
will be given next week. The men,
bers of Troop X, Sd Cavalry, will take
part in the parade, with their train of
pack mules in attendance. On the
grounds the troops will entertain the
gathering with the various military
manPuvres, and the spectator will
learn something of the manner in
which they helped win the battles be-
fore Santiago. The day will be en-
livened with music by the cornet band,
and games of all kinds will help en-
terrain the crowd. Ample provision
will be made for furnishing refresh
ments to the hungry and thirsty, and
whatever proceeds result will be for
the benefit of the band. The big pos
tiers will be issued this week, and,
later on, smaller bills, for the better
information of the public.
