LATEST STORY OF UTAH.
Says There viii be City of Celibate'
Built Near Provo.

The "City OF Celibates" is to be
founded within a few miles of Provo,
Utah. and the foundation viii be laid
within the next few days, says the
Denver Post Of Tuesday, That, at least,
Is the impression Of attaches Of the
American house, who We're on duty ear
ly this morning when picturesque
party OF foreigners arrived and reg
istered, These men, eight In number,
are looked upon as the founders Of this
new city, which will allow no woman
within Its walls.
About o'clock this morning a party
Of men, much resembling Italian bril-
gands as portrayed In comic opera, en-
tered tho American house. They had
gold rings In their ears, wore shirts OF
n spectacular hue, corduroy suits and
wire brimmed hats. One man, who
was civilized up to the chin--that Is,
clad In modern American fashlon--ap-
peared to be in charge, lie put the fol-
lowing names on the register, his OVID
being first!
John Bubalo, Peter Yovanovich, I.uka
Tomaservich, Luka Yovaceric, Luka
Yovanoych, Vase Yovacerc, Miter
Luksick and another that was illegible.
Bubalo did not say from whence the
party came, but It was CLEANED from
his conversation that all had Just come
from ELLIS island under his guidance.
Bubalo was not inclined to be COM
munIcatlve, but he said enough to fos-
ter the impression that he headed a
little colony that was going to locate
near Provo, The sturdy sons Of sunny
Italy with him would form the bone
and sinew of the colony and there
would be no women allowed within It's
81 1T.
ers, II seems, had been deceived by
woman back In Italy and drawing a
number OF his friends and relatives
about him decided to go TO the new
world and found miscrocosm where
the foot OF woman would never be al
lowed Nothing was said directly about
naming city Of cellbates. but from
the conversation Of the party that was
the inference.
