The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1903-02-27

London, Une same role which MI. |
Kent created in this country.
Who will be at the shooting match
on next Monday?
Samuel Evans of Lewiston visited
us today.
Henry Yonk and Elias Davis were
in Logan on Friday.
We understand some parties are
keeping their weather eye open to
get the reward offered by our Fish
and Game Warden.
There is considerable inquiry about
the Rich Cache Mine just now, espec-
tally by the stockholders who have
been called on for an assessment.
AS spring is approaching it will be
the time that farmers should look in
to their orchards, and around waste
corners upon their lots and determine
where fruit trees should be planted.
Remember every fruit tree added en-
hances the value of the property, say
ing nothing about the fruit produc-
ed.
According to present prospects
stone cutters will be hard to get this
coming season, many of them in
Logan already receiving letters of in
quiry. We understand our cutters
will be full handed for the next two
months ON monuments for Decora-
tion Day.
John Murdoch from Dayton Idaho
was in Logan on Friday. He reports
that the people of that vicinity are
delighted with the prospects for grain
crops during the coming summer.
Dayton is exclusively a dry farm
country. From what we observe in
passing through Dayton too much
stubble land is put into crops. If the
farmers would summer fallow one half
their land each year, and crop the
other half, they wonld realize better
results.
We observed in the Lewiston cores
pondence published in our last issue
that William Bowden had paid John
Blair 81 $50 for twenty acres of land
in that locality. This is sixty-twO
and one-half dollars per acre. We
know of land being sold last year at
that place for $500 per acre. We are
led to believe that the beet industry
has given the land an upward tendency
in price. This is good price for land
in Lewiston.
The Utah Knitting Works Of Ogden
filed articles Of Incorporation with
the Secretary Of State yesterday. The
new organization is capitalized at
$500 The company is backed by
prominent business men Of Ogden
and Messrs. j. A. Hendrickson, Soren
Hansen, c. E. Lloyd and other local
people. On Monday, machinery cap
able of turning out 100 adult suits of
underwear day, will arrive from the
east and be installed. Logan citizens
generally will wish the new concern
success.
The murder committed at Downey
last summer Is recalled to mind by the
appearance of the deputy sheriff OF
Bannock county, Ida, summoning
witnesses to appear at the trial which
is to come up in short time. The
facts concerning this murder are hor-
rible in their detail and are about as
follows: The two men concerned had
been companions, working together
for four months. After one pay day
they went to the Downey Hotel, ate
their meals and slept together, de-
parting after breakfast one morning.
When about one mile north of the
town, one dubbed the other to death,
then piled ties on the body to burn it.
When discovered the body was burned
TO crisp and it would have been i'm
possible to have identified the remains
had it not been for some scraps of
clothing. The murderer did this
awful deed for some thirty dollars and
an old watch. There is no doubt that
the officers have the guilty man In
their clutches, and we trust he may
get his just dues.
