There was a fist fight on the incom-
ing train TO Salmon last week, when
Free Buster, the father of Guy Buster,
was sail to be the aggressor in an
alteration started in the smoking car
with Dan Mcpherson, one of the re-
turning soldier boys. Witnesses to
the occurrence say that Buster, who
was evidently laboring under excite
ment. had struck Mcpherson twice be
fore the latter fully realized that
there was anger in the sssailant's at

muscular fellow, with the strength OF
an athelete. let loose with his right
without rising from his seat and land
ed on the nose of Buster with terrific
force. Nobody knew just how the ar
gument started.

Pioneers who with Brigham Young.
their leader, arrived on the shores OF
the Great Lakes in July lS47. Presi'
dent Young and others had returned
to the Missouri River TO bring more OF
their migrating people TO their new
home among the mountains, and those
who remained were anxiously await
ing the results OF their first labor to
redeem the desert and make the wild
erness to blossom. Some blowing and
planting had been done by the
Pioneers upon their arrival, but the
seeds then put in, such as, potatoes,
corn, wheat oats, peas, and beans,
though well irrigated. did not mature
owing to. the lateness of the season.
The nearest approach to harvest
that year was few small potatoes
which served as seed for another
planting. II was therefore their first
real harvest in this region that the
settlers In these solitudes were look
ing forward to at the time OF the cpl
sode mentioned. Much depended upon
the harvest not only for the people al,
ready there, but for the twenty-five
hundred additional immigrants who
were about to join them from the far
away frontier. The supplies brought
by those who came the first season
had been designed to last only about
twelve months. They were gradually
getting low, and these settler, be It
borne in mind, were well nigh isolated
from the rest of humanity. "A thou

phrase used by them to describe their
location. They had little communities

little by means of ox-teams and the
pack mule, so If their crop failed, what
would become of them?
Salt Lake Valley in '4s
In the spring of 1S4S, five thousand
acres of land were under cultivation
in Salt Lake Valley, nine hundred
acres had been sown with winter
wheat which was just beginning to
sprout. Then came an event as un-
looked for as 1t was terrible-the eric
ket plague. In May and June these de-
structive pests relied In black legions

fields killing the crickets, but crushed
much of their tender grain. Others
dug bitches around the farm, turned
water into the trenches. drove and
drowned therein the black devourers,
and some beat them back with clubs
and brooms, or burned them in fires;
still the crickets prevailed, despite all
that could be done by the settlers.
Their hope of harvest was fast vanish

seemed to depend. -.

CLUTCH TROUBLE

A great deal Of clutch trouble for
which the owner can find no obvious
cause, is due to the fact that the
clutch shaft Is out Of true with the
center of the fly wheel. This causes
one side Of the cone to bind. while
the other side Is free. in the case
of the disc clutch the plates tend to
hold only on one side The result
is that the clutch grabs when en-
gagged. II persistent treatment and
adjustment does not help clutch. IL
is safe to conclude that the condi.
ton mentioned Is the trouble.
