Show THE LOGAN LEADER. Logan City, November 6, 1879. <br><br> LOCAL LINES. THE SILVER moon is waning. COOL DAYS and frosty nights. SPLENDID prospects of a rousing storm. THIS IS the season of carnival for leaves. <br><br> PRODUCE taken on subscription to this paper. <br><br> PRESIDENT Taylor's party numbered 25 people. <br><br> JOSEPH Fredericksen is improvin<br><br> "OVER the Reservoir"is the country pronunciation of au revoir.

An agency will probably be established here. <br><br> NEARLY a runaway on Third Street Tuesday! But for the unkind efforts of the owner of the team our local would have had a good item. <br><br> LUNDBERG and Garth's planing mill, on one day of last week, was not in operation. The delay was occasioned by a break of the line shaft. <br><br> THANKS! We are under obligation to Mr. John Blanchard, of the Logan House, for a very pleasant ride yesterday behind his fine span of blacks. <br><br> A MEETING of the Y. M. M. I. A. of Logan was held in the Tabernacle November 3, 1879. The proceedings were very interesting but we have not space to publish them in this issue. <br><br> WE RECEIVED a very pleasant call yesterday from ?. W. Sloan, Esq., city editor of the Salt Lake Herald. Mr. Sloan came to Logan Tuesday evening and returned home yesterday afternoon. <br><br> WE SUGGEST to those who have shade trees on the sidewalks joining their places that they have the trees trimmed up to such a height that pedestrians of a ? over the ordinary height may not be under the necessity of stooping nor stopping to pick up their hats. <br><br> A CERTAIN physician of this city was yesterday told by a respiratory patient to go to h--- for his pay. The disciple of ? did not ?? ?? ?? but he immediately departed to the settlement of Paradise to seize a bin of wheat belonging to his dissatisfied debtor. <br><br> YESTERDAY, John Roberts, while logging in Smithfield canyon had one of his fingers badly crushed between the wheel of his wagon and a log. He came to Logan today for surgical treatment, and Doctor Groesbeck removed the finger nail and a part of the flesh. <br><br> A SPAN of well fed equines threatened to make things lively on Main street Sunday afternoon. They were tied in front of a mercantile establishment; and, becoming tired of post ?? concluded to depart for home. But for the interference of bystanders, they would have succeeded. <br><br> A RUMOR was afloat yesterday that a man doing business at the lower part of town had been severely beaten by his sons. We could learn nothing in relation to the case from the officers - who ought to be cognizant of everything of the kind, thus would we presume that the report was unfounded. <br><br> A LITTLE boy was yesterday playing in a narrow lane leading to the back of a lot in the Second Ward, when a cow chased by some children came running furiously toward him. The little chap seemed in imminent danger; but spectators were greatly relieved when the sensible bovine creature jumped directly over him, and passed on leaving him unharmed. <br><br> SNEAK THIEVES appear to be growing numerous in Logan. On Tuesday night about 8 o'clock a tent which had been used to cover a light wagon was stolen from the premises of Mr. John F. Reed, near the foot of the bench. Officers and private citizens should watch for the theives adn do everything possible to prevent their future depredations. <br><br> ON FRIDAY afternoon last, a boy by the name of John Young was accidentally hurt while working on the Temple Block. He was walking near the north wall of the building under a scaffolding, when a piece of wood, thrown down by one of the workmen at the top, struck him on the forehead, inflicting a painful, though not dangerous wound. Doctor Lamoreaux was called upon to dress the wound, and under his care the patient is doing well. <br><br> A BOOK-BINDERY has been established in the Junction building at Ogden, under the direction of B. H. Goddard & Co. They are now prepared to do book binding in all its branches. Blank books, music books, sheet music, magazines and periodicals bound to order. Old books rebound and made as good as new. Blank books covered with canvas, to preserve them while in use. Bill and letter heads neatly tabbed. Satisfaction guaranteed in time, style and price. <br><br> AT LAST it has arrived! The long promised runaway! Where it came from, where it went nobody knows; but it was real nevertheless. On Monday a fine span of horses attached to the running gears of a wagon, dashed furiously down Fourth Street, spreading consternation in their track. Forty seconds after came two ?-like individuals on horseback - clinging with desperation to their naked, madly flying steeds. They were probably in pursuit of the vehicle embezzling animals. The whole thing was glorious but too short. It passed before the vision of people on Main Street, like a swift moving slide in a magic lantern. |
