The patrolman mace a quick ride down
TO the mouth of the canyon and ar
rived there just in time to stop the
cattle from getting as far as the con-
duit reservoir.
A sharp argument ensu6d between
the herdSmen and the. canyon officer,
but the latter was determined, remark
ing that he did not care if there were
forty of them they could not drive
their cattle through Parley's canyon
unless THEY walked over his dead

Fortunate Bride.

New York, April 2s.A special to the
Herald from Washington says: Per-
sistent rumor again couples the names
Of General Joseph Wheeler and Mrs.
George w. Childs, and this time there
seems to be good reason to. believe an
announcement of their engagement to

was asked for a confirmation or denial
of the rumor. she smiled and referred
the questioner to General Wheeler. The
gallant veteran also smiled when asked
about it.

these rumors"
General Wheeler was assured that
any further reticence would be taken
as a confession that the engagement
would soon be announced
You will have to draw your own con-
illusions, was the reply, though 1
believe that Mrs. Childs will at once
give your questions answer"
No statement could be obtained from
Mrs. Childs today. General Wheeler ad-
mItted, however, that at a luncheon in
Phlladelphia. attended by Mrs. C%ilds
ana himself, they were congratulated
by their friends upon their rumored en-
gagement. These congratulations were
