The officers interfered, but an amicable settlement was finally reached. <br><br> LAST Friday night a fat steer worried two horsemen who were trying to drive it, and frightened all the ladies and children on Main street, by its wild actions. <br><br> MR. RUSSELL, representing Coe & Carter, is now in Logan settling the accounts of the firm. He leaves soon for Oneida to receive there 100,000 narrow gauge ties. <br><br> WM. [William] B. APPERLEY, Esq., County Superintendent of District Schools, left Logan last Tuesday on a trip to Smithfield and Richmond in the interest of education. <br><br> ON Monday last twenty thousand broad guage [gauge] ties were started down to Corinne from "Logan boom." They are to be used in repairs on the C. P. track. Coe & Carter are the owners. <br><br> LOST, yesterday morning between the Logan Temple and the cemetery, a lady's neck fur.

Hanson, a tailor doing business in this city, has purchased here and shipped to Mr. John C. Cutler of Salt Lake, agent for the Provo Woollen Mills, between seven and eight thousand pounds of wool. THE practice, of which many smokers are guilty-of throwing lighted matches and ends of cigars and cigarettes among the dry leaves which now cover the earth, is a most reprehensible one. Great fires have originated from less causes. <br><br> A REFRACTORY bovine creature made things lively for half a dozen boys on Third Street on Monday. The drivers wanted the cow to travel, and she appeared to have a similar desire-the only matter of difference was with regard to direction. TWO or three little boys had a fierce combat with fists and stones in front of the hotel on Sunday morning. One of them was rather badly demoralized-among numerous bruises being a painful cut in the head from a sharp stone in the hands of his brother. <br><br> SOME of the sidewalks on the principal street leading to the depot are as good as could be wished, while others are exactly the opposite. Property owners should keep the walks in front of their premises in good condition, or else be punished according to the law. A MAN in Logan don't believe in almanacs any more. He did once but on Sunday his faith was destroyed. He was showing a friend how accurately the weather had been foretold for October, when the fact was brought to his attention that he had been reading the report for August. <br><br> MR. GEORGE Driver, junior partner in the well known firm of Wm. [William] Driver & Son, wholesale druggists of Ogden city, has been taking a business trip through the north. He spent last Tuesday in Logan. Mr. Driver is managing the affairs of the house during the absence of his father in England. ON Saturday afternoon a man was thrown from a bucking horse on Main street, nearly opposite the U. O. Furniture store. He retained his hold on the bridle and was dragged around on the ground for a few seconds. Finally the horse became quiet, the rider remounted and rode away apparently uninjured. <br><br> MR. ZACHARIAH Ballantyne gave us a pleasant call yesterday. He is in this part of the country on business for his father, Richard Ballantyne, Esq., former proprietor of the Ogden Junction. Before closing his tour he will visit the settlements on both sides of the valley, and people will do well to be prepared for his advent. <br><br> ONE day last week a wild steer was branded in Goodwin's yard. The animal was comparatively quiet until the burning iron was applied to its hide-but after that the branders were forced to hide while it played seek. One young man who was just rushing over a high fence received some very unwelcome assistance from the infuriated steer, but was not seriously hurt. <br><br> LOVERS are a privileged class, and ought to have weather and everything else just to suit them. If this cannot be, then no restraint should be placed upon their grumbling. The other evening a pair of cooing creatures passed our sanctuary and when the male "cooer" said, "Aint it a purty night," his mate nestled to him and softly chanted, "Yes, only the moon ought to go behind and awful dark cloud for a little while." |
