In the meantime Ramsey, it Is stated,
began to handle his gun in SO loose and
careless a manner that Dunn and others
who we're in the room straightway re-
monstrated. This Ramsey resented, and
a general quarrel resulted, which waXed
so warm that Morton informed his guest
that no row must take place at ms mouse
and suggested a walk. Dunn started
home, but had projected only snort
distance when, Ramse called MIN pdch
and suggested that the crowd go to
Dunn's fathers, which was not more
than 800 yards distant.
When Dunn returned, the quarrel hav-
ing been settled, as all supposed. Ramsey
raised his gun and shot Dunn in the alb
donlen. Death resulted in few hours.
Dunns wife. who is but sixteen years
old, was standing in her door. ana W.T.

was OF the crowd Immediately Dunn
friends set upon Ramsey and were hahd-
ling him very roughly when Dunn
father-in-law came up and intertered IN
Ramsey's behalf, thereby saving hln
from being killed.
AN ACCIDENT.
Ramsey claimed the gun was accident
ally discharged by some OF the crowd
seizing it when he raised it only for the
purpose of frightening Dunn. But Dunn S
wife says she saw Ramsey slip smell

Isaac II. Grace Of Nephl spoke Of the
Mammoth reservoir In Goosebcrry val
ley, Sanpete county, on which between
$50. 900 and $4,000 had been already eX-
PENDED. This project, he stated, would
reclaim something Ike 10000 acres OF
arid land. but would cost TO complete
Il In the neighbOrhood Of $4,000 The
site. said Mr.. Grace. was located about
10 miles east Of Fairview, and to bring
the water into the Sanpete valley would
require q tunnel some two miles IN
length. one share of water In tina;
section would supply from one-halt to
lhree-fourths Of an acre Of land This
,roioct the gentleman thought, was
one worthy the consideration OF the

In further discussion OF the matter
il was brought out that there was some
legal controversy pending In the courts
as 10 the rights of the company con-
Quoting the reservoir to still further

ing from the Price river.
Judge Johnson explained that he was
one Of the originators Of the Mammoth
reservoir project, and admitted that
the matter was stlll pending IN the
courts. At the time Of the launching
of he project, however, Col, stevenson
who was the engineer, carefully weigh
I'd all the points In controversy, ano
