in selecting convention city is to fix on
a place with ample Geographic facilities.
There are hardly more than dozen cit

shattered by a bullet. OF course it was
the left leg. He was carried to the field
hospital in the rear, and after a brief
examination of the wound, the surgeon
said:
Sorry for you, corporal. but we must
amrutate the leg to save your life
1t was a case in which the victim had
nothing to say. When he returned to con-
sciousness his left 6 had been amputated
at the knee, and he was lying among a
hundred other wounded men. The loss Of
his money occurred to him a t once, and
he made the fact known to a comrade
who had been shot in the shoulder.

the fun of the thing Neither can it be
said THAI she went on this trip for pleas
ure. but the lady covered the distance
from Salt Lake to Fort Duchesne all be-
cause of mistake of two letters in a
telegram. 1t is a remarkable story and
local history will yet have to chronicle
as palsliel. This Is how It all came
about:
AT. Guthrie, popularity known as the
revenue man" was out in Eastern Utah
looking for moonsh.ners. He left last
Mol day, AND arriving at Price. sent dis
patch from there Tuesday morning to his
wife. saying. Come to Vernal.' This was

necessarily some peculiari;ies in RS Pen

Mr. Guthrie having by this time gone on
toward Vernal, he read it Come to YER
nal" He sent il that way. and that is
the way it reached Mrs. Guthrie Tues
day forenoon.
There were only the three words: Come
to Vernal," but they were enough. Mrs.
Guthrie reasoned that her husband would
not have sent for her unless he wanted
her. and she knew that. he would not
have her make chat rough trip unless
something had gone decidedly wrong. She
drew the conclusion that he was i'll. and
the worry and suspense that she passed
through can hardly be measured
The little woman bundled a few clothes
together, and at o'clock that afternoon,
less than four hours after. receiving the
dispatch, she took the eastbound train,
