Penrose and Bishop Preston of Logan, also an elder. Jonathan Steggell. who was not overly strong physically, and who was shown every consideration and kindness. Out of this acquaintance grew a strong friendship between Elder Steggell and the young woman, Mary Ann Smith, which ripened Into love and she made the Journey to America Ameri-ca when he returned to hla native land. Mary Ann crossed the plains on foot, walking all the distance with the exception of about twelve miles. The company reached Salt Lake the 30th of August. 1868, and she and Elder Steggell were married on August Au-gust 32nd In the Endowment House.

It Is urged that the people of this city get behind this club and support sup-port them by turning out to their games. The club is Inviting every one to see their first game free. The date is uncertain as yet, but will be advertised so all win know. They should play good ball as many of them are high school stars and others are equally as good. The club was organized and rules and bylaws drawn up. The officers are as follows: President, Oeorge Ball; vice-presi dent, BerneU Crystal; secretary treasurer, Howard Tlmpson; athletlo manager.
