Considerable building has been done in

boasts of some twenty-five neat and
substantial dwellings, while Preston has
about half that number. Logs are the
most favored building material, but
stone, brick and lumber have all been
used.
Nature has been particularly gener-
Gus towards the White River ranchers
this season. Their first crop of hay is
In the stack and the second is nearly
ready to cut. Throe crops will be easi-
ly secured this season. a large acre.
age Of grain has been sown and is in
fine condition, while neater and more
thrifty gardens it was never our pleas
ure to see.
Pioneer Day is to be celebrated again
at Lund next Tuesday and even great
er preparations are being made for a
grand time than year ago. Preston
and Georgetown will participate and
some notable visitors are expected from
st. George, Utah. An invitation to
attend appears in the ''Lund Items.

KILLED THEIR WOUNDED.
European Soldiers Prefer Death
to Torture.

~
NEW YORK, July l5.-The Journals
Tien-tsin cable of July sth, via shang-
hal, July 18th, says: We are fighting
hordes of Chinese day and night, but
are unable to beat them of 1t is un-
fortunately true that the allied forces
have suffered repeated defeats. The
Gordon of Chinese around us is grow
ing closer. Chinese guns are raining
a deadly crossfire on Us from their in
trenched position, commanding the
town. We are desperately in need Of
heavy artillery aud more men. No
quarter is given or asked on either side.
Intellectual attempts have been made
to conceal the horrible fact that Ad-
miral Seymour was compelled to shoot
his own wounded during the recent dis
astrous retreat OF the Picking relief ex.
petition All the wounded and prison
ers who fell into the hands OF the Chi
nese were frightfully tortured. The
bodies of two marines, captured by
Chinese, were recovered, and were found
to have been cut into pieces. First, the
eyes had been hacked out, then the
cheeks, arms and legs cut of, until
death ended the suiferings of the poor
fellows.
When Admiral Seymour in his re-
treat found himself so hard pressed
that he was unable longer to carry his
wounded with him, he asked them:
(Which do you prefer, to be left to the
mercles OF the Chinese, or be shot by
your own eomrades?n As Admiral
Seymour put the question tears We're
running down his cheeks. 1--WE prefer
death to torture. Shoot Us now, that
we may die like men, = was the prompt
response of the helpless a firing squad
was told off. and while the little allied
force stopped and beat off with gun fire
the Chinese horde that surrounded it,,
inside its lines an act of mercy was per-
formed as the firing squad carried out
its orders. A few volleys from rifles In
the hands of friends and the harassed
expedition was relieved of It's burden OF
wounded. The fanatieal Chinese horde
was cheated of its victims for its tor
ture and the suiferings and fears Of the
unfortunates were brought to an end
in an honorable death under their own
dag. The fury of Europeans against
the Chinese on account Of the latter's
mutilation of the dead and torture oi
the living knows no bounds.
