When Ringing Brothers circus left
Laramie yesterday morning John Har-
digan was given permission by some
of the employees 10 ride on top Of one
OF the circus wagon which was placed
on a fiat car. Hardigan was overjoyed
at the thought of being able TO come
through so conveniently and without
paying anything for the ride AS he
sat upon his perch. he was rudely
confronted by three big, black mig
gers" who are employees of the snow
and who demanded his money. Hardi-
gan slipped $15 into his mouth and al
lowed the negroes to go through his
pockets, securing but four dollars for
their trouble. Hardigan jumped Oft
the train in preference TO being
thrown of and informed the local ofii-
GERS Of his plight, asking them to
meet the train in Ogden. He then in
some mysterious way boarded the
train again and when the train pulled
in here, he was on hand 10 give the

has written the Examiner an interest

On WILDLY island, in Puget sound,
al the home OF Mr. and Mrs. Wilkin-

does duty as a watch dog. Her goose
ship will not allow strangers to enter
the place if the proprietors are absent

and how to retain IL, too. II Is Just
as well to get out OF her way suddenly
If one does not want goose flesh

AS soon as the proprietors return.
madame goose tells them all about
the fracas in goose language. In her
story to the owners OF the place she
will give the intruder an indignant
hiss-s.s and waddle on as If salts

NO LIQUOR SOLD
IN CANYON SUNDAY

Judge William H. King and his two
daughters drove up from Salt Iakc
yesterday and spent the dav AT the
ldlewild resort in Ogden canyon. taI,.
ing dinner there and returning To Salt
Lake in the evening.
Judge King is q very DrorninoDt
Democrat in his home town and &c
well known throughout the state as
one of the hardest working members
OF his party and as an orator of note.
In an interview with a represents.
tive of tho Examiner at IdIewiId yes.
terday he expressed himseIf-as being
very much chagrined over the consoI-

Judge King said that details have
been perfected for the consolidation
of the two papers, that u c JacEUD

tirety and the combination will now
become the official organ Of tho Re-.
publican party in Utah He further
stated that, although the Democratic
party VIII be considerably embarrassed
by the loss OF their organ and that
they VIII be greatly handicapped for
the same reason, they intend 10 make
determined fight hereafter without
the aid OF a newspaper Judge King
said that although the odds are against
them the Democrats of the state are
warming up for the fray and that
the opposition directed toward them
IS putting more ginger into the party
warriors than even success could do.
He was very much pleased upon
hearing Of the record made by the
Ogden City waterworks since being
taken over by the municipality. and he
complimented the mayor and the city
council very highly
How dry | am! How dry | am,
Nobody knows how dry | am" Such
was the cry heard all up and down the
canyon yesterday because OF the cdIct
which was sent forth from the sher-
IFS office TO the effect that no liouor
should be sold In the CANYON on sun
days. and also because of the close
observance of this order by the resort
keepers and buffet men, aided by the
eagle-eyed deputies who patroled the
canyon TO see that the order was full
filled
A great many persons who jOurneved
TO the canyon for their periodical
Sunday spree and who knew nothing

terday ogden canyon was free from
the turmoil and noise of drunkenness
and rowdyism and the place seemed
veritable haven of rest for the over
worked business men who spend their
Sundays there in quest Of peace and
Quietude.
