Show LOCALISMS. THE money market is rather tight. AN early winter is in prospect. Prepare for it. LAST Saturday there were not as many country people in town as usual. THE late stormy weather has hindered the progress of work on a number of large buildings in town. IT is expected that the Utah & Wyoming will furnish work for a good many teams in this valley this winter. A DISPATCH informs us that the Territorial Convention to nominate a delegate to Congress adjourned yesterday, till Thursday next. J. W. JENKINS & SONS, the well-known harness and saddle manufacturers, of Salt Lake City will open on Main St., Ogden, a branch store in a few days.-See adv. THERE were considerable quantities of wheat standing in the shock in the fields in this county, when the late stormy weather began. As a consequence much of it is injured. THE sales of Logan Branch Z. C. M. I. for the five months ending Sept. 30th amounted to $227,844.54; Ogden Branch sold $304,694.03. Home Department at Salt Lake, $1,011,396.51. SOME prominent gentlemen in Salt Lake who command considerable capital, were heard to remark not long since that if Logan men did not open a bank here, they would. We certainly need a bank here. A MAN from Mendon was found by the officers last night stupidly drunk. Some friends of his proffered to care for him and he was not locked up. Next morning he had a settlement with the police magistrate. READ the advertisement of the Fourth Ward Co-op Store on Main street. Mr. C. B. Robbins, the manager, seems determined not to be undersold; he has an extra large display of winter goods and clothing at give-away prices. WHY is not the practice of catching fish with "gigs" put a stop to? Boys walk along the bank of the mill race with a "gig" and they will chase a fish until it is caught, all of which is contrary to the statute in such case made and provided. ON last Wednesday morning 316 passengers rode into Ogden on the morning U. & N. train. Of these 226 were conference passengers, the remaining 90 were regulars. On the following morning the number of conference and regular passengers were nearly as great. A COUPLE of small urchins on Saturday last were "hanging on behind" an express wagon, when the driver suddenly stopped in a deep large mud puddle, (which, by the way are not scarce.) forcing the boys to alight in it, nearly knee deep. THE five urchins charged with disturbing the peace near Peter Beutler's residence in the Fifth Ward on Thursday evening last, had a partial hearing on Saturday evening. The case was continued until Monday forenoon when, after a pretty thorough investigation the police magistrate adjudged the defendants not guilty, and discharged them. The testimony indicated pretty clearly that the wrong crowd of boys had been arrested. |
