An Arithmetic Snake.

An Englishman had one day told
an editor several snake stories which
made the newspaper man laugh, and
then he said as a wind-up:

ASHTON KBEKER
TALKS OF old Times

Among the visitors to Phoebe this
week was Ashton Nebeker. a wei.
known and influential resident of AL.

trial juror In the district court.
Mr.. Nebeker is one of the pioneer
of this western country and informs
the Record that he came to Utah in
September, 1847, about two months
Following the arrival in the Salt Lake
valley of the first band Of Mormon
pioneers. Mr.. Nebeker settled at
Salt Lake and was a conspicuous fig
ure in the making Of the early his
tory of that now famous city. He
left Salt Lake in 1867, removing to
Washington county. Later, he moved
20 Kane county, Utah, where he was
elected and served several terms as
sheriff and assessor of that county.
Mr.. Nebeker participated in some o
the Indian wars fought in this inter-
mountain country and was with Majo
