The Story of Our States
 By JONATHAN BRACE
 XLIV.-UTAH
 oR ~ THE first
 ::: ::: ::: :::.::: j: <; ::|: $; < ]: NSlN EANM cursion into HslfkaS ANSN Uta h dates USI My<AlSM J=l back to 1540 MANkSyS.zJVAAW when party N &qTSrR y of Spaniards
 I89o~ sent out by Coronado succeeded in penetrat- ing to the Colorado river. There is no authentic record of fur ther explorations until over POO years had elapsed. In 1776 two Franciscan friars, in their at tempt to find the shortest way 10 the Pacific, went from Santa Fe to Utah Lake. The Great Salt Lake, however, was not discovered until 1924, when James Bridges, trapper, in wandering through this region came upon this huge, inland, salt sea.
 But the real history of Utah begins with the rise of Mormon power there. Discouraged by the agitation in Illinois and Mis- souri, the Mormons decided to emigrate to the great West. In large caravans they travelled across the plains and In 1S47 came to Salt Lake City where they settled. Here they four ished, increasing their numbers and by 1852 they reached a total in this vicinity of over 15,OOO. Meanwhile, Tn 184S, by the terms of the treaty of peace with Mex ico, a huge western tract, of which Utah was part, was eedeq to the United States. As no definite government was ar- ranged for, the control of affairs locally was for a number of years entirely in the hands of the off cers of the Mormon church. They, accordingly, made up constitution and organized un- der the name of the State of Deseret. This is a word taken from the Book of Mormon, and signifies, industry" Application was made for admission to the Union, but this was refused and the federal government instead organized the Territory of Utah in 1850. The first governor was Brigham Young, the successor of Joseph Smith and president of the Mormon church.
 The attempt to do away with Polygamy met with little success until in 1890 the Mormon church finally agreed not to countenance it. Meanwhile, growing antag- onism between the Mormons and non-Mormons verged nearly on civil war Finally Il general amnesty was declared and after many requests Utah was ac- cepted as the ferty-fifth state of the Union in 1896.

Ing that older men might envy, cap
tured a negro moonshiner Tuesday
afternoon, about o'clock, at point
between Lake Hunter and Sanguly.
The boys had been out on a hunting
and fishing trip, and were carrying
rifles. Observing suspicious curl of
smoke from bayhead, they decided
that they were in the neighborhood
OF IL moonshine still. Robert is d
brCther-in-law of Frank Williams, of
the Lakeland police force and knows
what to do in d case of this kind. as
later events proved. Maxim d few
hasty plans, the boyS approached the
still where the dusky mCOnshiner was
bending above his work, putting the
Shine into bottles. The boys declar-
ed they wanted to buy some of the
product, and Robcrt left to get bot
tie, while his friend remained to keer
an eye on their intended captive Tho
bottle was in reality trace chain
with paddock, which Robert slipped
t" his frisnd.
Hold up your hands was the
masterful deman dthat gave the ne
gro the first inkling Of the real stu
alton, and seeing himself covered by
Robert, he submitted to being hand
cuffed with the trace chain by the
other boy.
The boy then sent for the police
and Officers Williams and Norris OF
the Lakeland force. and Roy Hutch
inson. county police officer, went to
tie scene and took over the situation
and the captive.
Three pints Of moonshne were
found, still warm, and small still on
which the negro admitted he had been
making about ten gallons of shine Il
week. He was brought to Lakeland
and later turned over TO the county.
He gives his name as neSimmons.
The still and other equipment were
brought TO this city by the OFFICERS.
