LITTLE BRITCHES RODEO A freckled kid came saunderin' out in boots and chaps with little doubt. He set his hat and topped a steer, of wild great beast, he showed no fear. As mighty bull gave one big thrust, the kid sailed up and bit the dust. Tears appeared on dirty cheek. His breath was gone, he could not speak. A painted clown appeared at once a ziggin' round and doin' stunts. Then bent to give the kid a kiss, but he was havin' none of this. Ignorin' pain, the buckaroo was off the ground and quickly flew away from those red puckered lips, for clown was girl with curvy hips.

He says he's ready to do some fishing. Sergeant's homecoming from Gulf shared by family and guests As a veteran of the Persian Gult War, Sgt. Jeff Shiner returned to Vernal last Tuesday, June 11. There to greet him at the Vernal Airport were his mother, Mary Stringham; members of the Vernal VFW Post 5560; members of the American Legion Post 124; Representative Dan Price; and friends of his family. Shiner was discharged from the Army after serving for four years. He was deployed to the Gulf on Christmas Day, 1990 and stationed in south-central Iraq. He was' with the First Armored Division. He was scheduled to return to the states after af-ter spending time in Germany last January, but after the war broke out, he was sent to the front lines. He related an awesome experience when he and his Staff Sergeant were clearing out a bunker. Jeff turned to step out of the bunker and his Staff SgL said "Don't move son!" Shiner had stepped on a personnel mine. They decided that on the count of three, Shiner would jump under cover of a berm. When he did, the mine went off and his Sgt. got some shrapnel in his face. Shiner said that, his whole life passed before him. Shiner and his unit was in the largest tank battle since 1942. Once a rocket landed only 75 feet from their tracked vehicle. Their unit was also instrumental in rounding up POWs. Right now, Shiner's only interest is fishing and some "R and R." He hopes to go to Arizona Automotive Technical School outside of Phoenix this coming fall Jeff is the son of Mary Stringham and the late Vard Shiner. Fort My ton, subject of Uintah Historical Society Saturday, June 8, the Uintah County Historical Society met at the Golden Age Center and heard Grace Hall read a history of Myton that was written by Ludy Cooper. Cooper was unable to meet with the group due to an emergency in her family. Myton, originally the hub of the Uintah Basin, was for a short period of time the largest and most progressive pro-gressive town in the area. It was settled set-tled in 1905. Prior to that time, the land was part of the Indian Reservation established on June 5, 1882. Fort Duchesne was built in 1886. A bridge was built at Myton across the Duchesne river to bring in supplies from the West An Indian trading post was established on the site and the original town was named "Bridge." The name was later changed to Myton in honor of Major HP. Myton, agent at the trading trad-ing post. In 1905, the reservation was opened for homestead entry. Surplus land, not being used by the Indians, was sold for $1.25 per acre. By 1908, the town was prospering and the first newspaper was pub lished called "The Uintah-Chieftain" Uintah-Chieftain" later the "Myton Free Press." In 1909, the Duchesne River flooded and changed its course thus leaving the old bridge high and dry. A new steel bridge was built at the end of a two year effort and this called for a celebration. On July 4, and for many years later, "Bridge Day" was an annual event attracting families from throughout the Basin. Later this summer, the Historical Society is planning a trip to Myton for a tour of the historical sites, guided by Cooper. On Saturday, June 15, the members mem-bers of the Society will leave the Golden Age Center's parking lot for a trip to Price. The tour will leave at 9 a.m. They are planning to visit the newly dedicated pre-historic museum muse-um at the College of Eastern Utah and the Western Mining and Railroad museum in Helpijr, Utah. A suggested donation in the amount of $3 will help to pay for the trip. Everyone going should plan to bring a lunch and drink. For more information, contact Barbara Jolley at 789-7382.
