Rumor has it that a certain Reef meachant went down to St. George the other day, ac- —in the latter part of April, will still be fresh in the minds of many of our readers. It will be remembered that Mary Parker, an old lady 62 years of age, was found in the foothills between Springdale and Rockville with her throat cut and her pers®n outraged, and that @ young man by the name of Jared Dalton was arrested on suspicion of being ‘the perpetrator of the deed, he having been seen with her last, after having brought her the news that her son had returned from Nevada and was in the mountains near by and | desirous of seeing her. The evidence at the inquest was deemed strong enough to hold Dalton, and he was “bound over to await the action of the Grand Jury, since which time he has been incarcerated —in- the--connty jail at Toquerville. The Fourth of July falls on a Sunday this year, and whatever celebrating is done will have to be indulged on the preceding day. Shall we celebrate? If so, it is time to commence- mapping ont the programme. The Tombstone Epitaph has a name which ‘is not at al) characteristic of it as a newspaper. It gives the Reefers in that graveyard camp the benefit of a good many clippings from the columns of the MINER. P The dance at Welte's Gardens next Tuesday night promises to be an enjoyable affair.

The object, as We understand it, is the most Christian and commendable one of tnxising sufficient funds to pay for enclosing the public graveyard below town. As soon as the tickets arrive they will be placed on sale at the different stores. The blawsted grasshopper has even got down this far south, but juat what he will tind here to appease his voracious appetite is apnzzler. There is no vegetation around the Reef to speak of, and not much old machinery to be ateup. If silicious sandsone or conglomerate will-do him for square meals, why he can get all of that he wants. The long-expected change in the ownership i of the Barbee & Walker property took place * on Saturday last, when the New York company, by their representative W. B. Wells, Exsq., took possession of the same. Everything at the mill and mine is kept running along as usual, Mr. Wells having assumed the general Superintendéncy for the time being, with John Y.Gamble as foreman of the mine. SRLS: SPANNED =.

It will never, however, be a favorite resort of the Reefers, as the water acts on them like compound carthartic pills, two drinks of the native wine make a man feel like going into a secluded place and robbing himself, and the temperature is of such a Plutonian character as would make Bob Ingersoll copper his no-hell theory before he had resided in the place twenty-four hours.

On Saturday last Parker reached Toquerville, and when the accused was informed of his arrival he betrayed considérable uneasiness and asked not to be left alone, as he was afraid that Parker would endeavor to shoot him through the bars.
