Director General Stoll and the full
band after mutual introductlons the
parade swung into line, headed by Col.

country. Hassel wore the regulation

seven feet above the ground He also
wore a pair OF shoes that had enough
leither IN them TO make up complete
hide. From an authentic source II was
learned that they were No. los, and his
f,et are stili growing.
Immediately behind the big man, who
bore mastodonic miners candle,
came Il. II. Stewart and John Allen,
hanging on for dear life to a little elk
OF the genus Irish Goatbus who had
his eye upon a big theatrical poster
outside the News building and re-
fused 10 be comforted az he had had
his breakfast very early this morning

dowed with pair Of horns Of gener-
Gus proportions which were painted
purple and bedecked with ribbons. He
also wore a storm coat which bore the
legend Guess My Name; ! am In this
Thing, too" No sooner had Director
Stoll set eyes on this animal than he
Immediately appointed committee TO

they had no one with them 10 keep
cases on their going and coming for

an Injunction in his pocket against the
Kangaroo court; w. NJ. Nesbtt, with
the most luxuriant crop of Populistic

against him. w. w. Thompson OF the
Tintic Mercantile company and G., II.
Campbell, the builder and contractor,
were also In evidence, as were a num-
Der OF other prominent citizens from
the Juab county mining camp.

these hardy Elks marched into the car
