Show LOCALISMS. MUDDY roads. VERY disagreeable weather for conference. NO conference news received in time for this issue of the Journal. EARLY last Thursday morning a dense fog enveloped the city. THE walls of the new court house are nearing the hight designed. LOGAN has a coal agency at last and is to have a new theatre in 60 days. ON Wednesday and Thursday nights ice froze in Logan, the first of the season. PRICES for all kinds of labor are higher in Logan now than in the spring. HAD the weather been finer more people than did would have went to conference. A MASS meeting of the "Liberals" of this town is among the diverting events in prospect. THE party who spilled the barrel of paint near the Logan House the other night, remains unknown. THE public appreciate the light in the post office from dark till the mail closes. Ladies were afraid to enter it to mail letters. WE call attention to the adv. of W. W. Stalker, of Franklin. He sells every description of furniture, and the Caldwell wagon. Northern readers take notice. THE crowd of mischievous boys who disturbed the peace near Peter Beutler's residence in the 6th ward also upset a quantity of skimmings at R. Neilsen's molasses mill last evening. IT seems as though the appointees of this county were awaiting the result of the mandamus cases, that are to argued before Judge Hunter at Salt Lake, on the 10th inst., before taking action. SEVERAL days of rainy weather culminated on Wednesday evening in a snow storm. Snow fell to the depth of from one to two inches, but the sun next morning caused it to disappear. WHO'D a thought it? "Jack" Archibald has become a Federal Office Holder. His tenure, however, is but for a single day, viz the Tuesday succeeding the first Monday in November. He sits, on that day, as election judge in Mendon. A DRUNKEN driver drove a team along Main street northward, yesterday afternoon, at a rate that threatened all the pedestrians and personal property on his route. He was a legitimate subject for the compliments of the police magistrate. THE meetings of the Y. M. M. I. A. of the Logan First Ward, are held on Tuesday evenings at 7 o'clock, instead of Wednesday evenings at 7:30 as previously announced. The boys are requested to attend and become enrolled as members. W. D. WHITLEY, committed on Wednesday for assault with a deadly weapon on officer Everill, at first thought to get free on a habeas corpus. For some reason, however, he changed his mind, and this morning was rustling for bonds, which he secured. ON Thursday evening last George M. Peacock received a fearful beating at the hands of two individuals named Dave Thomas and - Jordan. At least these are the names Peacock gives. For some reason Peacock refuses to testify against his assailants though they beat him very severely, giving him a fearful black eye and cutting his face badly. SHORTLY before the last rain storm, when combustible materials lying out of doors were very dry, a boy was seen applying a lighted match to the willow fence surrounding the premises of a resident of the Fifth Ward. The boy was not identified, but it is a pity that a portion of the willow fence was not used to kindle a fire under his jacket. MANY of our Logan readers will remember a fellow named Killie (that is the way he spelled his name when here) who canvassed the town about 1 year ago, pretending to be authorized by the Singer sewing machine company to repair their machines. For repairs or pretended repairs he charged enormous prices, and his imposture and dishonesty were at length made public through the local press. The same fellow has turned up lately in Salt Lake in the same business and is likely to get into trouble. |
