Leland cavorted with his machine and he was charged with speeding and reckless and dangerous driving on the Main street, lie was immediately pinched and taken before Justice of tjie Peace Wm. Gee, and in addition to being assessed $35 as a fine for his infringments, he was roundly scored by the justice of the peace. The fine was paid and a promise was exacted that a repetition would not be forthcoming.

Death was not instantaneous and the man suffered great agony before death closed his earthly career. Antone Jeusen, a brother residing at Redmond, upon being advised by wire of the death of his brother, left immediately for the Oregon city and made plans to ship the body to Redmond. The deceased was born in Redmond and lived there most of the time until some eighteen years ago when he left for the northwest. Little had been heard of the wanderer until the sad news- that he had been shot and later died. He is survived by four brothers, Ephraim and Antone of Redmond, Hans Jensen of Lakeside, Ore., and Mads Jensen, who is living somewhere in Wyoming. - Gnwiint Ref Grams Coal Leases Vet-ran- elab-rat- fin-.nein- g al s activ-ties- world-famou- s k May-fiel- While the hoof and mouth disease must be considered a calamity to California, at the present writing it is sending thousands of dollars of tourists money into the business houses of Utah. W. W. Rishel, manager of the Utah Slate Automobile association touring bureau said yesterday. Hundreds of cars are now coming north through Utah that would have gone east through Arizona if that state had not closed its roads to all tourist travel coming from California. More northbound travel is coming over the. Zion Park highway from California at the present time than ever before in the history of the Mr. Rishel said. touring bureau, This travel is the travel from Needles, Gal., where it is stopped by the Arizona authorities and prohibited from continuing on east through Arizona and New Mexico on the National Old Trails, or Santa Fe Trail, as it is called.

Ras-nusse- ttend MarUn Banquet ( n p these-tourist- s p p and we should stick to it. Regarding Mrs Rishels statement that the travel is being routed through Utah from southern California simply because Arizona has barred travel from California on account of foot and mouth disease, we dont believe that either. He makes the broad statement that all of these tourists tell the same story, that they were routed east hrough Arizona. That sounds convincing, does it not? It would be perhaps if anybody other than Mr. Rishel had said it. He has proven time and again that he s no friend to southern Utah and southern California, nor to the southern road through this state, and owing (to this we feel justified in questioning some of his statements. If Mr. Rishel will give us some proof that southern Utah is working against Provo and Salt Lake, or that southern California is diverting travel from Utah, we will take off our hat to him and admit that we have did him an injustice. Washington County News. No injustice has been done, Brother Wallace, particularly in the censuring of Kink Bill. Everybody in Southern Utah knows the attitude of the head of the State Automobile association for the south section and it is generally known that Rishel will do anything, even use the hoof and mouth disease slogan to defeat the boosters of Southern Utah in exploiting the only sceriic wonders Utah has to show the thousands of tourists coming and going through the state. p, - p p Mr. and NT i s.

Jensen Piano Selection Further evidences that this particular section was inhabited by prehistoric animals of mammoth size was given Wednesday of last week when a portion of a hairy mammoth tusk was uncovered in the gravel pit near Redmond. The antiquity was uncovered at a depth of of about ten feet and its discovery created no little excitement among the scientifically inclined. The diameter of the tusk is approx- imately 10 inches at the largest part and it is thought that by long ages under ground, together with the action of water, deterioration had greatly reduced the original size. When exposed to the air it crumbled easily and the utmost care was taken to preserve the rare specimen. The portion of the tusk found was curved to about 30 degrees, both ends being previously broken and fine sand and clay were firmly packed on the convex side. The position of the huge tusk, lying north and south, gives doubtless evidence of the water course at that time. The surface color of the tusk showed a rusty brown, turning to ochre in spots. Half an inch beneath the surface it was pure white and the grain of the ivory plain discernable. When broken the tusk bad a decided tendency to fracture along the growth laminations, which formed layers about of an innch in thickness and the segment was clearly some portion of the tusk between the extremities, as the diameter and hardness testified. The utmost care wa3 exercised in removing the tusk and this accomplished it was taken to the North Sevier high school for preservation anil observations. Since being removed, it is stated, the tusk is again resuming its hardness and it is believed that when all the moisture has been dispelled it will be possble to preserve it for future ages again. one-quart- er Maying at Maple Grove It was a tired bunch last night that from Maple Grove, but everybody was happy in the thought that they had been accorded the pleasure of enjoying an outing on May Day.

Mountain climbing, games and eats," with stress cm the 'atter, comprised the program for the day. |
