Further Particulars
of the Killing of
H0ge Crockett.

The unfortunate shooting af-
fair, which occurred at Shrader
In McGuire's store, on Thursday
afternoon, in which young Hoge
Crockett was killed, as reported
last week has caused wide
spread sorrow over the county
Both Savers, who did the killing,
and Crockett, who was killed
are well and widely connected in
this county.
The funeral services of young
Crockett took place Friday
afternoon, conducted by Rev. Mr..
Christian, of the Methodist
church.
AS near as we can get at the
facts they are about as follows:
Hoge Crockett and Arthur
Sayers, about the same age, in
the neighborhood of 20 years,
are school mates, and had had
some little difficulty, perhaps at
school. They had fight Thurs
day afternoon. Savers threw a
buggy spoke at Crockett, strik-
ingshim on the head. Crockett
got the spoke from Savers, and
was giving him a thrashing,
when some one went out Of the
store and pulled Crockett away,
and stopped the fight. Savers
went to his fathe- and told him
about the row. His father told
him to go back and thrash
Crockett, which he attempted to
do, and again got the worst of it.
His father then sa d he would at
tend to Crockett, and going to
the store attacked Crockett about
thrashing his boy. Hoge Crock
EFT, it is said, who is clerk in
McGuire's store and assistant
postmaster, was sitting behind
the counter, at the post office desk,
when Tom Sayers went in.
Some words were passed, when
Sayers drew a gun and shot
Crockett He fell from his chair.
dead.
After the shooting Savers went
h ONE, and it is SAID remained all
night, leaving Friday morning
for West Virginia.
Sheriff Hartman was notified of
the killing late Thursday night,
but decided to wait until Friday
morning before going after Say
ers.
1t was reported that Savers
would come in and give himself
up, but as yet he has not done so,
a nd his whereabouts is unknown.
The above are the facts of the
unfortunate affair, as best we
could get them

IRRIGATION EXPOSITION.
Practical Illustration from Work of

One of the most practical exhibitions
shown at the Irrigation exposition was
that from the Utah experiment station,
illustrating irrigation investigations
and showing the value OF water as ap.
Piled in varying quantities to various
farm crops No better lesson in irri.
was ever given than the one there
shown by the station Fboiled down from

Investigations" every Utah
farmer should get and study.
Where water is plentiful the tenden-
cy among Utah irrigatofsis to use it
too literally for the needs of the crop
gre wu, and to the detriment of the
land. rhe Investigations of the station
covered experiments In growing var
iuus cereal and vegetable crops under
irrigation. Each crop was grown un-
der similar conditions, but with
varying amounts of water, show.
lug the requirements 81 each crop to
produce the most Profitable yield.
Wheat was irrigated,ih varying amour.
Is from 315 to SO acre inches of water
aud the results are highly interesting.
With an application Mss inches of
water the land yielded 80 bushels to
the acre; 6 a inches produced SO BUSH
els; IL inches yielded 40 bushels; l5in-
ches, AZ bushels, IS inches 40 bushels,
while SO inches yielded but AZ bushels.
Another experiment showed the yield
from 90 inches of water applied TO one
acre was AZ bushels. The same amount
of water spread over two acres yielded
50 bushels and when applied to acres
yielded lO5 bushels. Or putting it an
other way. 90 inches of water win pro

similar results were obtained il

Letters have been recently received

of Health in regard to the regis

There has been neglect of duty on
the part of some parties whose duty II
is to report these matters, to the exte nj
that in one of the largest towns of our
county there is not a birth on record
in the Clerks office from the fact that
none have been reported, and Will,
some have been very prompt in thi'
matter, others have sent in only par
