Show UNPLEASANT ADVENTURE. Shortly before his visit to Logan, Count de Monzilly [?] had a very unpleasant adventure. He arrived at Evanston from the east, and, being desirous to view a certain piece of country through which the Utah & Wyoming railroad will pass - a road in which he is heavily interested - he endeavored to procure a conveyance and a guide. A man named Eastman claimed to be familiar with the country and the count engaged him. The only conveyance that could be obtained was a lumber wagon and in that the Count, in company with the chief engineer and Eastman as teamster, started. They traveled a long distance into a wild country and among [?] mountains, when the guide lost his way and the whole party were obliged to sleep on the ground for one night without shelter or bedding of any kind. It is reported that the Frenchman swore at the guide with the vigor of bull whacker pursuading [persuading?] an obstreperous steer, but a bed on the ground was the result all the same. |
