YARNELLs BAD PLACE,
Yarnel ls the proprietor Of the Little
Chicago saloon better known as 1ar,
nl's, and has 80 conducted himself ana
this dive, that his name is synonomous
with violation Of law and order, For many
years this man tas figured prominently IN
the courts Of this county for drunkenness,
Ughting, gunplaya, etc, until his career
eliminated some time last fall IN the
shooting Of Mexican shecpherder, WHO
fingered for several weeks and died from
the effects Of his wounds. The present
murder trial Is the result, and although
larnell claims that he simply acted IN

land NOT A DROP TO DRINK"
While tho central ami northern parts Of
our state have been very highly favored
with rain and snow during the past win
ter, we Of the east have been sadly neg
lected, and our farmers have become dis
couraged almost TO the point where they
have thought II useless TO plant the usual
crops. The entire winter has been dry
ana sunny and land IL now so dry that
blowing is almost an impussbility. How
ever, the past few days there has been
some snowfall In the mountains, the prOs-
poets for more are favorable, and hope II

MUCH DISAPPOINTMENT FELT
The proposal to postpone the opening
OF the Clntah reservation for another
year Is a great disappointment 20 tho pe0-
pie OF our community, realizing az they
do that much valuable land ana water
are laying idle there and awaiting only
the magic touch Of the husbandman to
transform into productive homes, We
think that some delay may possibly be
necessary, but surely not for a year, and
our people have enlisted the efforts or
Gov Wells, and the entire Utah decga-
ton In Congress In opposition TO the delay
In the opening; and the encouraging telc-
grams and letters thus far received indi-
cate that the preliminary work will now
be rushej and that II there shall be delay
at all, II will be only for short time.
