Soon after his arrival in Salt Lake he was engaged as a cabinet maker with the Dinwoody Furniture company. During such service he met the daughter of a prominent man in Salt Lake whom he married after a short courtship. The following year, '61, he was called to go to Utah's Dixie to help build up that country.

Although a stranger to every man he met in Pi oche, and every precaution had been taken to guard the purpose of his visit there, he was followed for con siderable distance by a highwayman whom he finally succeeded in eluding. Nothing more of a distrubing nature happened until, Just at the break of day, he entered Indian Creek canyon with his priceless freight when, without a hint of danger, a shot rang out and a bullet ' pierced the folds of a scarf worn about his neck. With a hurried glance in the direction from which the shot came, he urged his horse to a breakneck speed when the air rang with a second shot which fell short of its mark. The hidden foe made no attempt at pursuit as the mill lay just beyond where there wa3 not a man but would have gone to the rescue when danger threatened the man they had all learned to love. It was a joyful day at the mill. Men with families to provide for were glad to accept the hard earned money and grateful that the life of their employer had been spared to return from the dangerous Journey. There are men who live for the Joy they give, When they lighten another's load; Their cheery smile is a gift worth while, As they Journey adown life's road. Such a man was Willis Coplan. He suffered and grew strong! Loved and was loved! In accomplishment of worthy or daring deeds he knew no defeat. JOB; J NORTH CREEK - For Sale-Pi- ano. Phone GG.
