"I can let you have a cot in the ballroom," replied the clerk, "but there's a lady in the opposite corner, but if you don't make a noise she'll be none the wiser." "Fine" said the tired traveler, and into the ballroom ball-room he went. Five minutes later he came running out and exclaimed "That woman wom-an in there is dead!" "I know it," was the reply.

Biographical Sketch of Hyrum Timothy Compiled by Andrew Fjeld In the summer of 1862, a cara van of Mormon immigrants, over 500 in number, composed of con verts from the British Isles and other European countries, were slowly wending their way in ox drawn wagons on their way to Utah. The Timothy family was among them. The company arrived in Salt Lake City in due time, and here this Welsh family remained for a short time. Being advised by the church authorities to go to Lehi, they soon came to this lit tie struggling community on Dry Creek. John G. Timothy's first employer in Lehi was Israel Evans, who also opened the doors of his home to the Timothy fam ny. Thus it happened that on October 18, 1863, that the first son of the Timothy family was born in the home of Israel Evans, who at that time was living on the corner north of the First ward chapel. This son was nam ed Hyrum. At that time it . was thought that the land around Lehi was all taken, and that there was scarcity of water for the land al ready under cultivation, so when Hyrum was six months old his father moved his family to Walls burg, in Provo Valley, where they lived for a number of years. An other move was made, and this time the Uintah Reservation was selected as the place where there would be the most opportunities for this fast-growing family. Children continued to arrive in the home of this family until there were nine sons and three daughters to bear the honored name of Timothy. . Hyrum did not go with the family to Uintah, but at the age of eighteen years he commenced working on the railroad. During these years he came to Lehi, where he also worked on the railroad. rail-road. When he was 21, he went to Butte,. Montana, and for a year and a half he mingled with the miners and the rougher elements ele-ments which prevailed at that time in this great mining camp. He then returned to Lehi and soon after he married Rose Clark, one of Lehi's popular young ladies. This important event took place January 7, 1886, when Hyrum Hy-rum was 22, and his bride was in her 20th year. This marriage proved to be a very happy one as well as a very successful one. For a little over 58 years they have teamed together as husband and wife, and have always been very devoted to each other Where one was, the other was also. Eight stalwart sons and one daughter came to bless their home , and a blessing they have Elk permits will be issued to resident hunters of Utah this year for a 10-day hunt from November No-vember 11 to November 20, inclu sive, according to E. N. Larsen. chairman of the state board of big game control. Six hundred permits in all will be issued. Because of the limited permit issue the commission feels justl fied in making this year's hunt a strictly resident affair. .
