/ ham Young, jr., Brigham Morris Young
! and Seymour 3. Young, for the success
/ of the ceremonies both in the city and
! al the resort.
/ The veterans were on Capitol hill with
/ the historic cannon Of the state, and
their awakening of the city was the
/ signal for the pleasure goers to turn
out in numbers. Held's band was sta
toned at the Bee Hive house until
about $3.50, playing patriotic and old
} fashioned airs to the delight of those
who stood about on the lawns and in
the street. Before 10 o'clock the crowd
followed the music down to the monu-
ment at the head of Main street, which
had been beautifully decorated, and
children and men and women paid their
respects to the great church leader by
covering the pedestal with flowers.
F ,pcises at Tabernacle.
The eA, Uses at the Tabernacle were
attended by an enormous crowd. the
lower floor being entirely filed and a
couple Of hundred seats in the gallery
being occupied. The authorities of the
church were present in a body, and
President Seymour B. Young presided
over the ceremonies. After music by
the choir md band and invocation by
Apostle Young, Governor Wells deliv-
cred a splendid address suitable to the
occasion.
The governor compared Brigham
Young with the mightieSt men of the
century, and said it was not necessary
for him to offer any eulogy, as the
work President Young had accOmD-
lished was before all men as a monu-
ment to his worth and ability.

A telegram from John W, Young was
read having been received during the
morning from New York. It read as
follows:

love and brotherly greetings, also kind
est regards to all friends joining in this

David Mckenzie made a brief talk
pOrtraying the qualities of Brigham
Young, and after another rendition by
the band, President Angus NJ. Cannon
pronounced the benediction.
At 2:15 in the afternoon the train to
Saltair carried over 1.500 people. and
each one that arrived subsequently had
its load Of pleasure seekers. President
Snow and party rode in a special car,

and 1000. and four generations were
represented in the gathering.
Had a count been made of the people
there by the name of Young, it would
have shown no less than Us descend

seven surviving wives were present, be-

children of his other wives, and their

Not Utah Men.
Sheriff Preece is now positive that
the outlaws are the same men who
killed the two boys in Arizona a short
time ago and are not Utah men,. He is
confirmed in this belief by a circular

the authorities of Arizona Offering
large rewards for the capture of the
Arizona outlaws. The description Civ

from his mind. 1t has been noticed
that the descriptions of the murderers

they are to be erected, and will take no
chance of falling down because of an
insufficient appropriation.
