The editor Of the Utah Weekly Moni-

famous at Teheran and other places,
drew a u on a stranger tie other
day and made arrangements to start a
private graveyard. His machinery
skipped a cog. however. He received
two bullets in the body, and the doctor
says he may not pull through. The
imitator seldom succeeds.
The seventh city marshal that Give
adam Gulch has had in the last six
years sent in his resignation at the last
meeting of the common council. The
objection to the place seems to be that
the inc lmbent is shot from two to five
times q month and by and by gets tired
OF carrying bullets around. The place
Is open to some good man. Hours, all
the time; pay. $40 a week. When not
otherw lse engaged the marshal will be
expected to put in his time picking lead
out of the doors Of the city hall.
