Tuesday night the second outrage oc-
CURED. Huldah Dinkelspiel, who lives
on the banks of the Jordan, and who
has for years supported her husband
and large family by going out wash
ing, was unfortunately detained up
town by missing the last car. AS she
( trudged home with her market basket
full of Frankfurters, etc, she was
bounced upon by a rowing band and
killed. Her little supply of food was
devoured and her family left destitute.
1t is a sad case as the oldest child is
only % years of age. As we go to press
her funeral is being held under the aus
! pieces of the washerWoman' union and
a regiment of infantry.
Scarcely had the city recovered from
the shock caused by this latest raid
when a man bleeding profusely rushed
down Main street with the awful in
telligence that a band of Shoshones
were plundering the northern part of
I the city and Strengthening the innocents.
I The alarm bell rang and soon a deter
I mined band were en- route to the rescue
I as fast as the street cars could convey
them. Only two men, brickmaker and
a carpenter were found alive. The lat
ter was fighting a good fight with a
handsaW while the former was tearing
great gaps in the ranks of his assail-
ants with a light pick handle. As the
rescuing party arrived the Indians fled.
Hon. John Albert Peterson, at one time
member of the city council was
found alongside Bowse, his faithful
dog, at one time 2S-pound champion of
Utah, who had his fangs fastened in the
epiglottis of a mud painted demon. The
Indian had evidently lost his hold as
BoWse got his.
Wednesday night as a large crowd
were enjoying the performance
Browns in Town yell of horror
came from the foyer. Next moment
in came the ticket seller with the in
formation that a band of Arapahoes
were plundering the box office Each
man grasped his rifle and awaited the
onslaught which soon came. But it was
short. The whites gained a glorious
victory. 1t Will be a cold day before
those Indians again attack an opera
house.
1t was thought this would prove a
wholesome lesson. but it did not. Next
morning the daily press announced that
a gang of Utes from Manti had raided
the Troy laundry and as a result there
wasn't a clean collar in the city. A
mass meeting was called and by 2
o'clock a band of determined men were
in hot pursuit. They were overtaken
at Provo and compelled to surrender
their booty.
The above constellation was inserted
to show that short space of time in
tervened between the writing of this
and previous paragraphs. This space
was occasioned by an attack by a band
of 200 Sioux on the office. The reader
will pardon poor penmanship when in
formed that the writer is working left
handed, having lost his right in hand
to hand struggle with old Mashem-
Eith-a-war-club the chief. The Iatter's
remains are now lying in state on the
pavement below. The office boy was
unfortunate, having been scalped while
trying to reach the elevator and is now
dancing around the sanctum, a wrathy,
hairless brat. The balance of the staff
escaped injury
But it is believed the Indians will
fade out soon, although parties coming
here would do well to bring a rifle, a
box of caps and a few bullets for emer-
gencies.
