the health of the new organization was
drunk by all. Every allusion to the
work of the G.. 4. r. or TO the flag
was received with cheers Of approval
The entertainment came to a close
about II clock with the singing of
" America, y and with the complete or

There is intense feeling in Ogden

especially about the action of Cromer
IN giving authority TO private indi-

number of Ogden valley citizens came
to Ogden, who asserted that they
would swear out warrants for every
